Which lunar month is Army Day?

The founding day of the army in 2021 is Sunday, August 1 (the 23rd day of the sixth lunar month).
Every year on Army Day, people send their blessings and thank the PLA soldiers for defending the country and their selfless dedication to the people. Television stations and media will also hold related evening parties and celebration specials to praise the contributions of the People's Liberation Army.

How to celebrate the Army Day?

On this day, in addition to remembering the martyrs, people also express their contributions to the country in various ways, such as writing poems to praise the motherland and soldiers, and children organizing parties to praise their contributions. Relevant celebration ceremonies will also be held in the army, such as providing substantial benefits to soldiers, and rewarding the soldiers' hard work through holidays or extra meals. Artists will also perform at the grassroots level on this day, allowing the soldiers on the front line to enjoy spiritual pleasure while they work hard.
Some state agencies and units will also hold grand commemorative ceremonies on the August 1st Army Day. The public security department will shoot relevant theme posters to increase the intensity of legal publicity. On this day, firefighters will also conduct field drills in primary and secondary schools across the country to cultivate children's safety awareness and the use of basic fire-fighting equipment. On Army Day, the national government and regional units will focus on visiting veterans, firefighters and armed police soldiers, and convey the people's respect and love for the soldiers by distributing gifts. Many schools also organize students to join the army and hold painting competitions, sculpture competitions, etc. to narrow the distance between the public and the soldiers, allowing the soldiers to feel everyone's warmth while being thousands of miles away from home.
The people's soldiers defend their country and sacrifice their own families for the sake of everyone. In this peaceful era, they still silently stick to the front line, just to bring about a prosperous era. Therefore, every August 1st Army Day, we might as well sing praises to the sacrifices and pioneering spirit of the martyrs in various forms, and encourage the soldiers who have persevered in the peaceful years. Parents should also teach their children relevant historical knowledge on this day, let them cherish today's hard-earned happy life, and teach their children to remember their original aspirations and remember the contributions of the People's Liberation Army!

What activities are there on Army Day?

1. Activities to support the military
The custom of the August 1st Army Day is that government departments and social groups carry out various forms of activities to support the military.
Every year on Army Day, the troops organize grand commemorative activities to celebrate their own holiday. Governments at all levels will also organize grand military-civilian galas or sermons, inviting veterans of the Red Army, retired military cadres, demobilized veterans, disabled revolutionary soldiers, and representatives of martyrs' families to participate. At the same time, we must organize activities to support the army and their families, publicize the glorious traditions of the people's army, and check the implementation of preferential treatment and relief work.
2. Tomb memorial for heroes
On this day, the entire army will hold various events to celebrate their own activities. Some held art performances in the army to showcase their talents; some visited lonely elderly people in the community to offer them the warmth of family love; and some went to the revolutionary martyrs' cemetery to sweep tombs or hold online memorial services to commemorate those heroes who sacrificed their precious lives for the revolution and the people.
