Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 8th Title: Continued Struggle for National Rejuvenation——Written on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the Revolution of 1911

Xinhua News Agency reporter

History can often be seen more clearly after time has passed.

“It is urgent to save the people from the fire and water, and to help the people of the building.” The Revolution of 1911 that broke out 110 years ago, with its thrilling power of the times, opened the gate of China’s progress, explored a path for the development and progress of the Chinese nation, and became a standing milestone in the great journey of national rejuvenation.

Over the past 100 years, the vicissitudes of life have transformed the world.

Today’s China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, and through the continuous struggle of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country, has achieved its first centennial goal and built a moderately prosperous society on the land of China. This is a historic solution. To solve the problem of absolute poverty, we are vigorously marching towards the second centenary goal of building a modern and powerful socialist country in an all-round way. The Chinese people at home and abroad are seizing historical opportunities, shouldering historical responsibilities, and continuing to struggle to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The tide rises

It is autumn, and the heroic city of Wuhan is picturesque. The streets and lanes exude a busy or calm temperament.

Wandering in the city, look carefully at the street names, Zhongshan Road, Sanmin Road, Shouyi Road, Qiyi Street, Minquan Road… the smoke of history has turned into an indelible mark of this city.

It’s also an autumn day. October 10, 1911.

The crisp shots cut through the sky of Wuchang City.

People at that moment may not have thought that the gunshots of the eighth battalion of the Hubei New Army Project would bury China’s monarchy for more than two thousand years, and write the first stroke for the magnificence of China’s over a hundred years in the future.

In a fierce battle overnight, the revolutionary army occupied the whole city of Wuchang;

Subsequently, all provinces across the country responded;

On the first day of 1912, the Republic of China was established, and the first democratic republic in Asia was born;

On February 12, 1912, the Qing emperor abdicated, and the supreme imperial power that was once impeccable collapsed.

The wind smashes the clouds, destroys and decays.

Looking back at the gunshots that shocked the world in Wuchang City, after more than half a century, one can hear the rumble of the British fleet bombarding the Chinese coastline in the Opium War. The “Heavenly Kingdom” was closed and stagnated, and was far behind the wave of the industrial revolution that was “a hundred years sharper than a thousand years”. Since then, China has fallen into a dark situation of internal and external troubles, and the Chinese people have experienced the deep suffering of broken mountains and rivers and the people’s lack of livelihood.

Where is China going?

People with lofty ideals who love the motherland are struggling for this problem.

The tragedy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the premature death of the Westernization Movement, the disillusionment of the Reform Movement of 1898, the bankruptcy of the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty… It is no wonder that Tan Sitong lamented: “There is nothing in the world to meet the sorrows of spring, and we cried together to Cang Ming. Forty million people shed tears, where is the end of the world? Is it Shenzhou?”

The many failures have proved the necessity: “If the axiom is not clear, it will be revealed by the revolution. If the old and the common are present, it will be removed by the revolution.”

It was in this historical tide that the bourgeois revolutionaries stepped onto the stage of history.

Mr. Sun Yat-sen is a great national hero, a great patriot, and a great pioneer of China’s democratic revolution. He raised the banner of opposing feudal autocratic rule, resolutely devoted himself to the cause of democratic revolution, founded the Xingzhonghui, the Tongmenghui, proposed the Three Principles of the People of Nationality, Civil Rights, and People’s Livelihood, actively disseminated revolutionary ideas, extensively united the revolutionary forces, and continuously launched armed uprisings in order to promote democracy. The revolution ran around and screamed.

Under the banner of the revolution, the awakened people of the Chinese nation, with their lives, youth and blood, “shouldered the gate of darkness” and opened the “Awakening of Asia.”

——After the failure of the Anqing Uprising, Xu Xilin, the leader of the “Recovery Army”, was righteous in the courtroom, saying bluntly, “You wait to kill me, cut my heart, both hands and feet are broken, the whole body is broken, both are acceptable, and the students should not be killed innocently. “.

——After the failed uprising was arrested, the heroine Qiu Jin remained unyielding and wrote the desperate poem of “Autumn Wind and Autumn Rain”, and he calmly went to justice.

——Lin Juemin, one of the seventy-two martyrs of Huanghuagang, wrote in his farewell letter to his wife, “Also consider the people of the world, and I am happy to sacrifice the welfare of my body and your body, and seek eternal blessing for the people of the world” Words, go to death generously.

……

Revolution, revolution! Wake up, wake up!

The dry firewood of the revolution has long been paved nationwide. The gunshot at the head of Wuchang finally ignited the raging fire of the Revolution of 1911.

The raging fire of the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty and ended the monarchy that had ruled China for thousands of years. However, due to the constraints of the historical process and social conditions, the Revolution of 1911 did not change the semi-colonial and semi-feudal social nature of old China, did not change the tragic fate of the Chinese people, and did not complete the historical task of achieving national independence and the liberation of the people.

Even so, as Lenin pointed out, judging the merits of history is not based on the fact that historical activists did not provide what modern times require, but on the basis that they provided something newer than their predecessors.

According to Zhang Haipeng, a member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the spirit of the Revolution of 1911 is the spirit of patriotism. Back then, it was precisely because of the poverty and weakness of the country, the distress of the nation, and the suffering of the people that the people with lofty ideals wanted to use the revolution to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Qing dynasty, and uttered the cry of “salvation and survival” and the roar of “rejuvenating China”. It is also under the encouragement of the spirit of patriotism that the Chinese Communists take on the unfinished business of their ancestors and continue to struggle, and a vigorous socialist China can stand in the east of the world.

“Under the new historical conditions, when we commemorate the Revolution of 1911, we must vigorously promote the spirit of patriotism and unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics to protect and build our great country.” Zhang Haipeng said.

Pass the fire, the mission is on your shoulders

No. 24 Wenhua Hutong, Xicheng District, Beijing, is a simple and quiet courtyard house where Li Dazhao spent nearly four years.

“Zhao was self-sufficient and accepted the book, that is, he is determined to work hard in the cause of national liberation, to practice what he believes, and to do what he knows…” In the former residence, an immersive drama called “The Fire Stalker” was brought to Li Dazhao. “Iron shoulders the moral and righteous, cleverly handed articles” life.

Through the smoke and dust of history, time is set back to the early years of the Republic of China. Li Dazhao once rejoiced in the achievements of the revolution-the establishment of a republican system. However, the fruits of the revolution soon fell into the hands of the Beiyang warlords headed by Yuan Shikai. Li Dazhao, who was very concerned about the fate of the country, had keenly felt the “hidden worries” in the new republican system. In 1913, he pointedly pointed out in an angry and sad mood: “A republic and a republic, what happiness is in our people!”

Despite the emperor’s abdication, warlords across the country are still fighting endlessly; although the braids on their heads are cut, the “braids in the brain” still remain; the aura of Asia’s first democratic republic can hardly conceal the tragic situation of being bullied and divided by powers…

The advanced elements, who are struggling to save the nation and survive, and to strengthen the country and enrich the people, are asking: Where is the way out for China? Where is the hope of the nation?

The sound of the October Revolution brought Marxism-Leninism to China, like a lightning bolt that pierced the dark night, and brought hope to the suffering old China. More than a year later, the May Fourth Movement opened the iron curtain of old China, awakened the sleeping soul in the dark night, and promoted the widespread spread of Marxism in China.

Spread in heated debate, choose in comparison.

Some members of the Old League, such as Dong Biwu, Lin Boqu, Wu Yuzhang, and activists during the Revolution of 1911, and revolutionaries who were deeply influenced by the Revolution of 1911, such as Li Dazhao and Mao Zedong, turned their attention to Marxism and gradually transformed into communists.

On July 23, 1921, during the heat, the air in Shanghai was damp and hot.

At No. 106, Wangzhi Road, a small building in Shikumen was lit up with star-pointed lights. The National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held here. Since then, the Chinese Communists have stepped onto the stage of history.

Why is the republican system struggling in Chinese society? One of the important reasons is that the Revolution of 1911 did not deeply unleash the revolutionary might hidden in the masses of the people. Only by awakening hundreds of millions of people can the destiny of the Chinese nation be changed.

Recognizing this, the Communists represented by Mao Zedong undertook the historical mission that the Revolution of 1911 failed to complete, committed to “arousing millions of workers and peasants, working together,” and pioneering the revolutionary road of encircling the cities in the countryside and seizing power by armed force.

From the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the War of Liberation, the Chinese Communists have achieved transcendence and sublimation in the inheritance of the spirit of the Revolution of 1911, leading the people to win the victory of the new democratic revolution, and fulfilling the dream of countless people with lofty ideals since modern times. National independence and the liberation of the people.

At this moment, the Chinese people, who have experienced hardships and struggles since modern times, usher in the dawn of the Chinese nation’s rebirth from the ashes.

“The Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic of China was established today!”

At 3 o’clock in the afternoon on October 1, 1949, Chairman Mao Zedong made a solemn declaration to the world in a passionate tone. Sky-shaking cheers surged across Tiananmen Square.

Soong Ching Ling, dressed in a dark cheongsam, stood on the tower, watching the crowd surging in front of her, and watching the portrait of Mr. Sun Yat-sen standing on the square, tears filled her eyes. Eight days later, she told the world about the moment she was in the Tiananmen Gate—

“Years of great struggles and hard deeds appeared before my eyes again. But another thought grabbed my heart. I know that this time I won’t look back, and I won’t go backwards. This time, Sun Yat-sen’s efforts finally It bears fruit, and the fruit looks so beautiful…”

“Revitalize China”! In 1894, Mr. Sun Yat-sen called out the strongest voice of the times for the first time in the “Articles of Xingzhonghui”.

More than a hundred years ago, this great pioneer of the democratic revolution conceived a grand blueprint in “Strategies for the Founding of a Nation”.

What they have done is to inherit their spirit and contribute to the unification of the country.” Lin Jiping is very firm.

To ensure that the country is not divided and to safeguard the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation is the common will of all Chinese people and an unstoppable historical trend.
