蔣斌：在新中國成立76周年之際，海軍戚繼光艦、沂蒙山艦結合遠海實習任務，赴香港組織為期3天的艦艇開放活動，2萬余名港澳民眾登艦參觀。編隊舉行升國旗儀式，并組織海軍旗語展示、船藝繩結體驗等特色活動，為當地民眾送上真摯的國慶祝福。參觀民眾登上祖國的軍艦，在繁華的香江之畔與編隊官兵共唱《歌唱祖國》，紛紛表達了身為中國人的安全感和自豪感。國安才能家好，人民軍隊將堅定守護香港繁榮穩定，東方之珠必將伴隨民族復興綻放更加奪目的光彩。

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.
