Continuing the Anti-Japanese War Spirit and Strengthening the Rejuvenation
——Written on the 76th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s Anti-Japanese War and the World Anti-Fascist War
On September 3 more than 70 years ago, after 14 years of arduous struggle, the Chinese people won a great victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the World Anti-Fascist War also ended victoriously. The victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a great victory in which the Chinese Communist Party played a mainstay role. The Chinese nation, which has sunk for more than a hundred years, has since reborn from the phoenix nirvana and rebirth from the ashes, starting a new historical journey for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The smoke of gunpowder has cleared, and the spirit will live forever.
Today, the centuries-old party spirit is flourishing, and the national rejuvenation is irreversible. And the great anti-Japanese spirit condensed in the suffering process has long become the spiritual background of the Chinese people, and it will be passed down from generation to generation and will last forever.
After the tempering of blood and fire, there is a dazzling spirit
June 29, 2021, Beijing, Great Hall of the People.
The 101-year-old Guo Ruixiang has a neat military uniform and a firm face. He sat in a wheelchair and received the July 1st Medal personally awarded by General Secretary Xi Jinping.
More than 80 years ago, with the firm belief in joining the army and fighting devils and improperly subjugating the country, the young Guo Ruixiang joined the Communist Party of China unhesitatingly, and devoted himself to the great struggle of “giving his life to the country and seeing death as his home.”
It was a period of fierce flames. Like Guo Ruixiang, the 40,000 Chinese sons and daughters who have been awakened and united in an unprecedented way, fought bravely, composing a song of heroic and heroic songs.
On September 18, 1931, the Japanese invaders brazenly launched the September 18th Incident. In less than 24 hours, the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China was the first to issue a declaration of resistance to Japan, calling for a fight against the Japanese invaders.
Since then, the anti-Japanese and national salvation flames between the Baishan and the black waters quickly ignited throughout the country. There is no distinction between the north and the south, and the people have no distinction between the old and the young. The Chinese people used flesh and blood to build the Great Steel Wall of the Chinese nation.
“Gift the flag and carry it with you at all times. Wipe your blood when injured, and wrap your body after death…” Before Sichuan warrior Wang Jiantang left Sichuan for the War of Resistance, he received a white cloth banner from his father, with a vigorous and powerful “death” written in the middle of the banner. .
There are no fathers who do not want their children to return safely and to come forward, just because the Chinese nation has to shoulder its mission and move forward courageously when it comes to the most dangerous time.
Such heroes abound on the land of China.
“You don’t hesitate to throw away your head, blood can be sprayed, and your loyal will will not be shaken.” In the ice and snow, Yang Jingyu led his troops to fight and deal with the Japanese and puppet forces, and remained shooting posture until he died.
“I’m Chinese, and I let my son go to the Eighth Route. It was a delusion to persuade him to surrender.” Bai Wenguan, mother of Ma Benzhai, commander of the Muslim Detachment of the Third Column of the Eighth Route Army, was arrested and died on a hunger strike without fear of Japanese threats.
An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, a touch of hot soil and a touch of soul.
From Zhao Shangzhi, Zuo Quan, Peng Xuefeng, Tong Linge, to the Eighth Route Army “Langyashan Five Heroes”, the New Fourth Army “Liu Laozhuanglian”, and the Kuomintang Army “800 Heroes”, the Communist Party of China was the mainstay, the sons and daughters of China, in the arduous war of resistance against Japan. Fight strong enemies with clank and iron bones, build the Great Wall with flesh and blood, go to national disasters with blood and life, and write an immortal chapter of history with blood and life.
The victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan was not only the restoration of the mountains and rivers, but also the baptism of the hearts of the people and the reshaping of the spirit.
In this magnificent history of the war of resistance, a great spirit of resistance was bred. This spirit is the patriotism of the rise and fall of the world, the responsibility of everyone, the national integrity of seeing death as home, rather than surrendering, the heroism of not fearing violence and fighting to the end, and the belief in victory with perseverance and perseverance.
“We are united in one mind, braving the enemy’s artillery fire!” This “Volunteer March”, born in the war of resistance against war, passed through the clouds and smoke of history and was shocked. From the battle anthem to the national anthem, what changed is the background of the times, and it has always been the same. , Is the indomitable spiritual temperament of the Chinese nation.
Through the misery and glory, there is a kind of inheritance that will last forever
“Wounded and wounded as a prisoner, the mountains and rivers have not been restored, but they have not been paid. The enemy chief forced the book to return and vowed to stain the spring and autumn with blue blood. People will leave the heroic soul and arouse the people to avenge their country!”
In the Chinese Communist Party History Exhibition Hall, the posthumous poem “Jiyi Ci” handwritten by Zhang Forest, the founder of Hebei Ranzhuang Tunnel Warfare, attracted the attention of many visitors. Although the paper has been yellowed and damaged, the spirit contained in the poem is still shining.
“It is with our ancestors who threw their heads and sprinkled their blood that we have today’s Guotai Minan.” Grassroots legal worker Zhou Shaoyi explained to her 5-year-old son while visiting, “Let the seeds of love for the party, country and socialism be in the hearts of the next generation. Rooting is our duty.”
The promotion of the spirit is inseparable from the inheritance of memory.
On the Lugou Bridge, visitors stopped and looked solemn.
In the scorching sun, the 90-year-old Zheng Fulai, the winner of the “50 Years of Glory in the Party” medal, introduced to the tourists the war of resistance he experienced.
“I grew up here and experienced the humiliating past of this land.” Zheng Fu said, “Today, I want more people to understand this history, not to perpetuate the hatred, but to preserve the common memory of the nation. “
The story of the hero is passed on by word of mouth, and the seeds of the anti-Japanese spirit take root…
In Baiyangdian, reeds are swaying in the wind, and the “City of the Future” Xiong’an New District is growing in joints. Once, these reeds were also the best cover for the Yanling team.
“The Yanling team is a magical soldier, coming without a trace, without a trace. Thousands of hectares of reed ponds are placed on the battlefield, and the pole is raised to fight the devil soldiers…” This ballad recording the heroic performance of the Yanling team during the Anti-Japanese War is still in Baiyangdian. Sing around.
Feng Chen, Manager of the Machinery Branch of China Railway Third Bureau Tianjin Branch, is now responsible for the on-site construction management of the Haiyue Street Road Comprehensive Pipe Gallery Project in the Starting Area of Xiongan New District. Being able to participate in the “City of the Future” project is not only an honor for him, but also a heavy responsibility.
“Back then, the Yanling team of Baiyangdian paddled the’eagle platoon’ for catching waterfowl, and carried the earth-made weapon’big pole’ to write the legend of anti-Japanese and national salvation.” Chen Feng said, “Today, we must inherit this perseverance in our work. , The spirit of hard work, contributes to the construction of Xiongan.”
There are descendants from generation to generation, and the spirit travels through time and space.
Sweat on the battlefield of poverty alleviation, a retrograde posture at the critical moment of the fight against the epidemic, a shout for glory for the country on the stage of sports competition, and the dream of a powerful country in science and technology. The fruit of promotion.
“The more the national crisis intensifies and deepens, the more passionate the anti-Japanese spirit becomes; the more the national rejuvenation is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the more the anti-Japanese spirit becomes the inexhaustible source of the national spirit,” said Yan Xiaofeng, dean of the School of Marxism at Tianjin University.
Standing at the starting point of the new journey, there is an unstoppable force
“The Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, getting rich to becoming strong, and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process!”
On July 1, 2021, the eyes of the world converge on Tiananmen Square. At the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s solemn announcement aroused enthusiastic cheers.
The great victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan marked the historical turning point of the Chinese nation from a deep crisis to a great rejuvenation since modern times. Today, this ancient nation, which has never been closer to the dream of revival, is once again at the starting point of a new journey.
In autumn in Beijing, the sky is high and the clouds are pale.
Standing under the city wall of Wanping in Beijing, the crater of that year is still clearly visible.
On that night more than 80 years ago, the sound of guns broke the tranquility of Wanping City, and also awakened the Chinese nation’s fighting will to resist aggression and jointly resist foreign aggression.
“Today, in the North and South battlefields, we are fighting to die, rushing to die, because everyone has absolute faith and knows that sacrificing ourselves is in exchange for the independence and freedom of the descendants of the Chinese nation for generations, and we are sure that it will be achieved.” The editorial of a newspaper once wrote.
The powerful spiritual force that broke out at the moment of national peril, precipitated as the deep foundation of national rejuvenation, and merged into the spiritual core of high spirits.
Weiwei Taihang, here was the main battlefield of the Hundred Regiments War. “The enemy’s planes bombarded indiscriminately, the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties, and the blood of the martyrs stained the land.” This Hundred Regimental War entered the anti-mopping stage, the most tragic battle in Guanjianao, was Guo Guo, Director of the Personnel Department of the General Office of the Shanxi Provincial Government. A story that Hongwei has been familiar with since childhood. In the fight against poverty, he served as the captain of the Baocun Working Team in Matian Town, Zuoquan County.
Confined to the natural conditions of rising heads and ditching, the poverty alleviation work in Zuoquan County faces many “hard bones.” “When we first arrived here, our counterpart assistance villages had almost no large-scale and sustainable industries.” Guo Hongwei said, “In the Hundred Regiments War, the martyrs fought desperately to make the people live a good life. Now, In the face of poverty, we should have the courage to shine the sword.”
Relocation, photovoltaic power generation, special breeding… With the efforts of local officials and the masses, Zuoquan County officially withdrew from the poverty-stricken counties in April 2019.
“We won the battle against poverty, and rural revitalization is our next goal.” Guo Hongwei said, “We will continue to fight the strong war of strengthening the village and enriching the people and serving the people together on this red hot land of the War of Resistance. Protracted war’, continue to shine in this post.”
A great cause requires a great spirit, and a great spirit supports great dreams.
“The great spirit of the Anti-Japanese War is an important part of the spiritual pedigree of the Chinese Communists and a precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese people.” said Luo Cunkang, the curator of the Chinese People’s Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall. In this regard, only by continuing to promote the spirit of the War of Resistance can the Chinese people overcome all difficulties and obstacles and strive unremittingly for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
