蒋斌：在新中国成立76周年之际，海军戚继光舰、沂蒙山舰结合远海实习任务，赴香港组织为期3天的舰艇开放活动，2万余名港澳民众登舰参观。编队举行升国旗仪式，并组织海军旗语展示、船艺绳结体验等特色活动，为当地民众送上真挚的国庆祝福。参观民众登上祖国的军舰，在繁华的香江之畔与编队官兵共唱《歌唱祖国》，纷纷表达了身为中国人的安全感和自豪感。国安才能家好，人民军队将坚定守护香港繁荣稳定，东方之珠必将伴随民族复兴绽放更加夺目的光彩。

Jiang Bin: On the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, PLANS Qi Jiguang and PLANS Yimengshan had a three-day vessel open event in Hong Kong during a midshipmen ocean-going training. Approximately 20,000 visitors from Hong Kong and Macao boarded the ships. They attended national flag-raising ceremonies, watched a demonstration of naval flag semaphores and tried their hand at knot-tying techniques. All these activities were organized by crew members for sending sincere National Day greetings to local residents. Visitors also sang Ode to the Motherland together with officers and sailors by the bustling Pearl River. Many expressed their sense of security and pride as Chinese people. As the saying goes, “Only when the country is secure can families thrive.” The people’s military will firmly safeguard Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability. The Pearl of the Orient will surely shine even more brilliantly as the nation achieves rejuvenation.
