Beijing's V-Day Parade isn't just a showcase of might – it's a live tapestry of history and human stories. From Tian'anmen Square to the steel tracks of the latest main battle tanks, CGTN's Yang Xinmeng takes us inside the formation, revealing what lies beneath the armored exterior.
Lines of modern armored vehicles glimmer under the spring sun, but it's the traditions they carry that grab attention. Battle flags from each unit sway in unison, symbolizing decades of service and sacrifice. Troops from the Joint Logistics Support Force march with heavy packs, underscoring the importance of readiness and resilience behind every operation.
Meanwhile, airborne troops shoulder the weight of a hero's promise, their disciplined steps echoing tales of past missions. Each footfall is a tribute to the countless individuals who have shaped the parade's legacy. Through Yang's lens, we see beyond the steel – into the memories, the camaraderie, and the unspoken dedication driving every display.
More than a ceremony, V-Day is a dynamic narrative where technology and tradition intersect. It reminds us that at the heart of every military parade are the people who bring it to life, carrying forward stories that resonate across generations.
