In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary emphasized: "Our army is the people's army, and our national defense is the national defense of the whole people. We must strengthen the national defense education of the whole people, consolidate the unity of the military, the government and the people, and unite powerful forces to realize the dream of strengthening the Chinese dream and strengthening the military! " This provides a fundamental guide for establishing a modern national defense consciousness that meets the requirements of the times.
If national defense is the shield of national survival, then national defense consciousness is the soul of national survival. Only by strengthening the sense of hardship, being prepared for danger in times of peace, and being prepared for danger in times of peace, will Socialism with Chinese characteristics's road become wider and wider. A strong sense of national defense is an important spiritual force and an important factor in preventing war and deterring the enemy.
As Dr. Sun Yat-sen said, "What is the way to consolidate the country without risking mountains and rivers and dominate the world without taking advantage of the military revolution?" Spirit also. "The pioneers told us that whether a country's national defense is consolidated should be measured not only by the" danger of mountains and rivers ",but also by the national defense consciousness and mental state. "
The modernization of national defense requires the modernization of national defense consciousness and calls on the people to firmly establish modern national defense consciousness. National defense consciousness presents different characteristics of the times in different historical periods. Contemporary China is in the process of winning the decisive battle to build a well-off society in an all-round way and win the great victory of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Accordingly, our national defense consciousness should also have new characteristics of the times.

Teenagers are potential national defense human resources, and their martial spirit and dedication to national defense directly determine the supply and supplement of national defense human resources. Strengthening youth national defense education can take many forms, which can be summarized as "centralized education" and "infiltration education".

The national defense consciousness of citizens, especially teenagers, depends not only on theoretical publicity and education, but also on the image and social status of soldiers themselves.
