PROVIDED TO TEENS “After taking off the tape and glue and smoothing out the creases across the pages, the near hundred-year-old letters and martyr’s certificate were revitalized,” said Chen Hezhen, a 71-year-old grandmother from Ningbo, Zhejiang. On Nov 13, she received the restored memorial papers left by her father, who sacrificed his life on the battlefield when she was only 1 year old. She was grateful to a group of college students from Ningbo University of Finance & Economics (NUFE), who helped bring her precious memory to life. Repairing relics left by veterans and martyrs is a part of NUFE’s social practice project. Since June, these young people have helped restore letters and other documents and returned them to families of revolutionary martyrs. “When we visited martyrs‘ families, we heard many inspiring stories and were touched by those late soldiers,” said Wang Yiqun, 21, the project’s leader. “Their family members have saved their letters in memory of them. But we’ve found that those objects have different degrees of damage, so we want to do something to help them.” However, it isn’t easy to restore these relics. Pan Yi, 22, one young restorer, stared at a damaged page of a martyr’s letter with adhesive tape. For days, she worked to separate the tape and paper safely. Her teacher helped her make a special degumming agent to spray on the tape, which could then be peeled off by small tweezers little by little. After that, Pan carefully checked the holes and worn-out margins. She then stuck paper made of the same material over the damaged area with a brush full of special paste. As for the creases, Pan glued striped craft paper over them. “I need to be especially careful and patient because the process can take a few weeks just to repair a single page,” said Pan. “What motivates us is our faith – those old papers carrying the spirit of undaunted heroes and the feelings of mourning that their family members endure. We need to repair them as they were before.” Now, these students are preparing to hold an exhibition of restored relics, sharing their stories with more people. “Repairing a martyr’s certificate requires more than mastering basic repairing skills. It’s important to fully understand the story behind the original text,” said Cao Ming, their tutor. “I’m proud of our students because they can apply what they’ve learned to help families of martyrs and spread the heroic stories in a more vivid way.”
