Our hospital organized a red‑education initiative and themed Party Day activity under the framework of Party–government joint construction, titled “Tracing the Red Footsteps, Inheriting the Revolutionary Spirit.”


To commemorate history, carry forward its spirit, and strengthen ideological and political education as well as patriotic education, on March 22, the Fourth Party Branch and the Tai’an Engineering Exploration Party Branch took the lead in organizing a red‑education and themed Party‑day event, in collaboration with the Tai’an Geological Branch and the Engineering Exploration Logistics Branch. More than 20 party members and staff members were mobilized to visit and study at the Lu‑Southwest Campaign Memorial Park in Jinxiang County.

On the day of the event, participants first visited Geshan Village, one of the second batch of model beautiful villages in Shandong Province. Geshan Village was the site of the Yangshan Campaign during the Southwest Shandong Campaign, and its rich historical heritage serves as a constant reminder of the brutality of revolutionary warfare and the hard-won nature of today’s peaceful and prosperous life. Rooted in the red spirit and anchored in red culture, with environmental sustainability as its guiding theme, the village has been transformed—under the governance of Party members and local residents in the new era—into a clean, well‑kept community brimming with vitality. This provides a valuable model for our institute as we engage in comprehensive land‑consolidation efforts and strive to play our rightful role as “geological professionals” in the cause of rural revitalization.

Subsequently, the group arrived at the Luxi Campaign Memorial Park. Guided by the park’s docents, they visited in turn the Martyrs’ Monument, the Luxi Campaign Memorial Hall, the Wang Jie Memorial Hall, and other sites. Standing beneath the towering, solemn monument, standing before exhibits weathered by time and soaked in the blood of those who came before, and immersed in photographs and written accounts that brim with historical memory and revolutionary legacy, the participants, accompanied by the docent’s explanations, traced the red footprints of their revolutionary forebears. They gained a profound understanding of the course of the Luxi Campaign and the Yangshan Campaign, as well as the life and deeds of martyr Wang Jie, deepening their reverence for that turbulent yet arduous era of revolution. In particular, the “not fearing hardship, not fearing death” spirit of Wang Jie filled both Party members and the general public with pride and inspiration. The Wang Jie Spirit is the only spirit in Shandong Province named after an individual; it was among the first to be included in the spiritual lineage of the Communist Party of China, earning high praise and recognition from leaders across generations. Participants unanimously agreed that the Wang Jie Spirit resonates deeply with the “Four Specials” ethos of geologists—exceptional resilience in hardship, extraordinary endurance, unwavering fighting spirit, and selfless dedication—and serves as a model worthy of our admiration and emulation. As young people of the new era and professionals in the geological sector, we must inherit and carry forward the glorious traditions and revolutionary spirit of our predecessors, continuously learn and strive for progress, contribute our energy and expertise to the development of the geological cause, and work tirelessly toward the realization of the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
