"I am the Little Eighth Road, tempered and not afraid of hardship, heroes come out of youth, determined to achieve grand ambitions!" Recently, in the square in front of the old site of Jiuquan Road of the Memorial Hall of the Lanzhou Office of the Eighth Route Army, 43 young students dressed in uniform raised their right fists and cut through the tranquility of the morning with sonorous and powerful oaths. They are participants in the "Red Star Shining Lanzhou Office Memorial Hall of the Eighth Route Army - 2025 Summer Youth Red Culture Experience and Little Docent Training Activity" in the three-day "Red Star Shining Lanzhou Office Memorial Hall - 2025 Summer Youth Red Culture Experience and Little Docent Training Activity", and completed a special "growth and transformation" in the infiltration of red history.

　　As a brand activity of the Lanzhou Office Memorial Hall of the Eighth Route Army, the "Red Star Shining Lanzhou Office Memorial Hall" has been held for 7 consecutive years. In the past 7 years, it has been like a bridge, allowing young people to have a dialogue with revolutionary history - tempering their will in military training, touching history in red sitcoms, unlocking stories in script games, and conveying spirit when explaining in the exhibition hall. Here, learning is no longer boring words, but a vivid experience of "learning by doing, learning by learning", and the red gene is quietly integrated into the blood of teenagers in this interaction.

　　"The hemp rope is finely wound, and the affection is hidden in it", and the "straw sandal" handicraft class is always the most popular link. The children sat together, clumsily threaded ropes and knotted knots under the guidance of the docent, and watched the rough straw gradually turn into a pair of simple but heavy straw sandals in their hands.

　　"It turns out that the Red Army soldiers wear such shoes, climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands!" A child sighed softly.

　　When their fingertips touched the hard knot, the children seemed to instantly understand that "wearing straw sandals and following the party, and the mountains of knives and fires do not look back." In a pair of straw sandals, what is hidden is ideals, courage, and family and country feelings passed down from generation to generation.

　　Wei Zixiang of Dongjiao Primary School said: "I have only seen straw sandals in textbooks before, and I only understood that it carries the beliefs of the revolutionary ancestors. I am a Young Pioneer, and I must study hard and be a 'little soldier' in the new era." ”

　　The most moving thing is the performance of the red sitcom "Red Station". In the small courtyard of the Lanzhou Office of the Eighth Route Army, the children changed into the Eighth Route Army uniform, tunic, cheongsam, and coat, and instantly "traveled" to 1938.

　　In the antique courtyard, they incarnated as clerks, progressive youths, and patriotic businessmen, vividly interpreting the anti-Japanese story under the leadership of party representative Xie Juezai - either nervously transferring Soviet aid materials to China, or impassionedly mobilizing the masses to resist Japan, or drafting salvation manuscripts under the lamp. With a frown and a smile, history is no longer far away, and those "anti-Japanese salvation" that have been seen in books have become tangible real scenes.

　　To become a qualified little docent, "good voice" is a necessary skill. In the class "Language Arts and Vocal Skills" brought by Fu Yun, an excellent docent of the memorial hall, the children became "little announcers" in seconds.

　　From the "abdominal breathing method" of breath control, to the "tongue circle" in oral exercises, to the "lip-tooth confrontation" of tongue twisters, the classroom is full of crisp children's voices of "eight hundred pacesetters running to the north slope". Finally, when the children recite the red manuscript with emotion, the theoretical knowledge that once frightened them has already turned into emotional power between the lines.

　　"What is a good explanation?" The questions thrown by the docent Wei Libin made the classroom instantly quiet. With this thinking, the children walked into the classroom of "Explanation of Etiquette and Explanation Skills": the standing posture should be as straight as a pine, the gestures should be natural and appropriate, and the explanation should have light in the eyes and a story in the heart. Wei Libin portrayed the children's standing posture one by one, corrected their tone, and when everyone tried to explain in the exhibition hall with the manuscript, there was already a bit of professionalism in their immature voices.

　　The military training in the square was equally exciting. When standing in a military posture, sweat slips down his cheeks; When walking in the queue, the pace goes from uneven to uniform. At this moment, the oath of "I am the Little Eighth Road, tempered and not afraid of hardship" sounded again, and the eyes of the teenagers had more soldier-like perseverance.

　　In the report and explanation session at the graduation ceremony, the children showed their learning results. They integrated the professional knowledge they had learned in three days, told the touching deeds of their revolutionary ancestors in a vivid voice, and interpreted the moving stories behind the revolutionary cultural relics. Their language is accurate and vivid, and their movements are standardized, as if they are qualified "little docents".

　　Subsequently, the person in charge of the memorial hall of the Lanzhou Office of the Eighth Route Army specially issued a "small volunteer certificate" to the children, affirming their training results and encouraging everyone to study hard and contribute to the construction of the motherland.

　　"The three days are short but heavy. When the children left with straw sandals and small volunteer certificates, the red seeds had taken root in their hearts. Pan Jie, director of the Propaganda and Education Office of the Memorial Hall of the Lanzhou Office of the Eighth Route Army, said with emotion: "This activity not only allows young people to understand history, but also makes them understand that inheriting the red gene is to be a light chaser in the new era, so that the light of ideals will always shine."
