The Jinan Campaign Memorial Hall relies on venue resources to cultivate "little interpreters" - children's voices telling stories of martyrs

This certificate belongs to Li Yongjiang, the first person to climb the city wall during the Battle of Jinan. At that time, he was only 17 years old... "During the just passed May Day holiday, a group of" little tour guides "wearing red scarves stood out in the Jinan Battle Memorial Hall in Shandong Province. Although they are young, they have a deep understanding of the history of battles; Although the voice of a child is immature, the heroic deeds it tells are powerful and direct to people's hearts, becoming a beautiful scenery in the memorial hall. The staff of the memorial hall introduced that since 2017, the memorial hall has collaborated with multiple primary and secondary schools in Jinan to launch the "Little Explainer" training program. Students voluntarily register and undergo strict selection, professional training, and assessment before being allowed to "work with certificates" and voluntarily explain red history to tourists. Up to now, the memorial hall has successfully held 11 public welfare training classes, training more than 500 "little tour guides" in total. I am a retired soldier who often tells stories about the military to my children. Upon learning of the 'Little Explainer' activity in the museum, I immediately encouraged children to sign up, hoping that they would establish lofty ideals and cultivate patriotism through learning and understanding revolutionary stories. ”The words of "Little Explainer" Wang Yuxiang's father express the feelings of many parents. Not long ago, the original sitcom "Looking Back" performed by the "little tour guides" in the museum won rounds of applause from the audience. In the drama, they "traveled" back to 1948 and had a "dialogue" with the martyrs who liberated Jinan, looking back on that turbulent period with deep affection. Allowing children to participate in situational dramas is an important part of our training. We hope to pass on the red gene from generation to generation through this method. ”Yang Shanshan, Director of the Propaganda Department of the Memorial Hall, introduced that the training not only includes explanation skills and recitation expression, but also immersive experiential education, allowing children to appreciate the spirit of martyrs in historical contexts and bring them closer to them. After passing the assessment, the memorial hall invited veterans who had participated in the Jinan Campaign to tell them battle stories on site; Organize them to experience life in the military camp during important occasions such as the August 1st Army Day and National Day; Establish a mechanism of "using the old to guide the new", with senior instructors guiding new students to form a sustainable and benign training model. History is no longer abstract words in books, but rather stories and cultural relics. We have also transformed from observers of history to active inheritors and narrators. ”Mao Yanxi proudly said, "As a tour guide, I have a deeper understanding of the red culture in my hometown and can also inspire more classmates to learn together." Nowadays, every weekend and holiday, the "little tour guides" wear uniform and are active at various locations in the memorial hall, becoming a new force in telling red stories. The person in charge of the museum, Wu Wenping, stated that in the next step, they will launch a series of activities such as "Jinan Campaign Immersive Study Class", "Heroic Story Theme Lecture", "Red Story Youth Sharing Class", etc., to build a "four in one" collaborative education model of the memorial hall, school, family, and society, and attract more young people to join the "Little Explainer" team.
