The spirit of the Yimeng old revolutionary base area
The Yimeng region in central-southern Shandong Province is an old revolutionary base area. Through China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, starting in the 1930s, to the War of Liberation in late 1940s, this was one of the major strongholds of the CPC. The local people made huge sacrifices and enormous contributions to the success of the national revolution, in the course of which they developed a spirit that is summarized as "loving the Party and the people's army, engaging in pioneering work and arduous struggle, and making a selfless contribution.”
In November 2013, while inspecting Linyi, a city in the Yimeng region, Xi Jinping said, "the spirit of the Yimeng region, together with that of Yan'an, Jinggang Mountains and Xibaipo, is a precious treasure of the Party and the state, and should never be neglected."
沂蒙精神
沂蒙地区是位于山东省中南部的革命老区。在中国抗日战争和解放战争时期的十多年时间里,这里始终是中国共产党的重要根据地之一。沂蒙人民为革命胜利做出了巨大的牺牲和奉献,共同锻造了“爱党爱军、开拓奋进、艰苦创业、无私奉献”的沂蒙精神。2013年11月,习近平在临沂视察时指出,沂蒙精神与延安精神、井冈山精神、西柏坡精神一样,是党和国家的宝贵的精神财富,要不断结合新的时代条件发扬光大。
