The Family of You Chunyan: Illustrating Tradition of a Military Family with Love, Responsibility

She has integrated the cultivation of patriotism with kindergarten education, organized visits to the troops, and shared with other parents in her children's class as well as the wives of servicemen about traditional Chinese culture, revolutionary culture and parenting tips in WeChat groups. Li has received dozens of awards and honors, which include two third-class merits, Outstanding Military Personnel and Outstanding Military Instructor, in recognition of his sound performance.

The Family of Zhang Lin: Saving Other’s Life, Setting an Example

He has persisted in learning and self-improvement, become the first holder of a senior professional title in his department, and dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the development of the country's 5G technology. During a business tour to northeast China's Heilongjiang Province in 2019, Zhang jumped into the Songhuajiang River to save the life of an individual. The heroic deeds have earned Zhang lots of acclaim from the public. He was a winner of the Top 10 Beijing Role Models of the Year in 2019. His wife, Guo Chunliu, has won several honorary titles in recognition of her outstanding performance at the workplace. She took care of their son at home and performed other household duties when Zhang was dispatched to work in Jilin Province for a decade. Under the influence of the couple, their son has set up lofty ideals since the childhood. The family has used their concrete actions to promote new socialist family values.

To further study, publicize and implement the guiding principles of the 20th CPC National Congress and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, carry out important discourses made by General Secretary Xi on family, family education and virtues, and mark the 10th anniversary of the Looking for Capital's Most Beautiful Families campaign, BWF will continue to organize the campaign in 2024, under the theme “Working hard on the new journey, realizing dreams of family and country.” A group of role-model families who show firm love for both the Party and the country, support the green development, raise their children in a scientific manner, manage their families in a clean and competent gesture, follow their piety obligations and practise civilized social norms will be selected. The organizer will underscore the positive development brought by the campaign in the past decade, showcase positive images of local families on the new journey, and further promote socialist core values and new family traditions in the new era.

In 2024, it is scheduled to release a list of most beautiful families each quarter, unveil an annual list of 300 role model families and a concurrent list of the top 10 most beautiful families in the capital city, make their stories widely known, and promote the building of new socialist family traditions, which stress the love of the country and family, mutual love and assistance, the pursuit of benevolence and excellence, and the building of an inclusive society.
