On August 1, the military flag billows in the gentle breeze; as time marches on, the spirit of the armed forces burns ever bright. On the 99th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army, celebrated on August 1, 2026, we mark a century and a half of trials and triumphs—beginning with the first shot fired over Nanchang, igniting the spark of revolution, and culminating in the resolute strides of a modern, powerful military. From fighting through the smoke of war to safeguarding our nation’s vast borders in times of peace, a single military flag carries our original aspirations, while an unyielding passion protects our country’s security and tranquility.

The peace and prosperity of this world have never come naturally. On the snow‑capped plateaus, along the azure coasts, in the remote mountains and deserts, and on the banks of rivers, invisible lines of defense stand guard day and night; through floods and earthquakes, in moments of crisis, the power of loyalty always marches forward against the tide. You need not catch a glimpse of their figures—every mountain and river bears the mark of unwavering dedication; no words of praise are needed—the nation’s peace and the people’s well‑being are the finest medals of all.

Today is August 1st. With our mountains and rivers as the scroll and our unwavering loyalty as the brush, we pay tribute to the iron‑willed military spirit and celebrate the People’s Army that safeguards the Chinese nation.

I. Nine decades of towering achievements, with banners ever marching forward.

In 1927, the Nanchang Uprising fired the first shot of armed resistance, marking the birth of the People’s Army. Over nearly a century of trials and tribulations, this force has been tempered and grown ever stronger: in times of war, it has braved peril with flesh and blood to safeguard the survival of the nation; during the era of construction, it has taken root in the land, reclaiming mountains and rivers and solidifying the foundations of the country; and on the journey of the new era, it has steadily advanced toward military strength through science and technology, ensuring that the vast seas, the boundless skies, and the expansive homeland are all under its protective watch.

Ninety-nine years—its name sounds like “jiu jiu,” symbolizing an unwavering commitment to the original mission of the military, the enduring pursuit of a strong armed force, and the lasting peace and stability of our nation. The color of the military flag shines ever brighter, and the march toward a powerful army grows ever more resolute. Generation after generation carries forward this legacy, engraving loyalty and responsibility deep into the land of China.

II. Silent Dedication: Building a Ten-Thousand-Mile Great Wall of Peace and Security

Shedding their concrete forms, the mountains, rivers, and all things in the world stand as witnesses to the soldiers’ unwavering resolve: along the vast coastline, warships cut through the waves on patrol, safeguarding our blue homeland; atop towering peaks, outpost sentinels rise among the clouds, measuring every inch of our territory; high above the boundless sky, fighter jets soar across the horizon, fortifying our aerial defenses; and between rivers, lakes, and seas, when danger strikes, fearless forces rush to every corner, fending off the onslaught of wind and rain.

Spring gives way to autumn, and cold yields to heat; we tuck reunion into our longing and shoulder our responsibilities. We set aside the close companionship of our own little homes in exchange for the enduring glow of countless hearths. With steel rifles as shields and faith as armor, ordinary steadfastness coalesces into an iron wall that safeguards this flourishing age.

III. The military spirit endures, and our original aspirations remain true to the land and rivers.

Military uniforms may fade, but unwavering sincerity endures; as the years pass, the spirit of service is passed down through the ages. Active-duty service members hold fast to their posts, ever ready and poised for duty; retired veterans, though no longer in uniform, still carry their love of country in their hearts, stepping forward in every field to uphold their sense of responsibility. Once loyalty is etched into one’s soul, it becomes a lifelong creed.

Today, wherever our gaze falls, we see a land of splendor; the five-star flag’s radiant glow is the burning flame of our unwavering faith. With our mountains and rivers safe and sound, and everyday life returning to its familiar rhythm, this is the most moving testament our armed forces have delivered.

The bugle sounds forth, paying tribute to a glorious past; the military flag flies high, as we march toward a bright future. On this 99th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army, we wish our armed forces enduring glory and steady progress toward world‑class status; may our land be beautiful and prosperous, our nation peaceful and secure, and may every year bring tranquility and lasting well‑being.

Mountains and rivers are safeguarded, and the years are all peaceful and serene. Happy August 1st, An’kang!
