🇨🇳✨ On October 1, National Day celebrations took a special turn when the United Nations recognized China’s 5th peacekeeping helicopter squad in Abyei and the 23rd peacekeeping contingent in Lebanon with prestigious Peace Medals. 🚁🕊️
Since arriving in Abyei, a territory disputed by Sudan and South Sudan, the helicopter team has flown hundreds of missions, delivering medical supplies, evacuating civilians, and supporting peace talks from the sky. Each flight not only showcased pilot skill but also highlighted a message of hope and solidarity. 🌍🤝
Meanwhile, the 23rd contingent in Lebanon has been on the ground, working shoulder-to-shoulder with local communities. From building schools to clearing roads after storms, these peacekeepers have become a friendly face for safety and reconstruction. 🛠️🏫🌱
Receiving the UN Peace Medal is a nod to their hard work, bravery, and commitment to global peace. As one squad leader put it, “Every mission reminds us why we serve—to bring people together and protect lives.” Their achievements remind us that even in complex regions, unity and compassion can fly above divisions. ✈️❤️
For China’s youth and global citizens alike, these awards show how teamwork, dedication, and a spirit of service can make a real difference—one flight, one village, one life at a time. Isn’t that something to celebrate? 🎉
