70 years ago, under the guns and bullets of the United Nations army, we built a great wall of steel with our flesh and blood, and won a war that was almost impossible to win with the courage of the volunteer soldiers who regarded death as a homecoming.
Peace is the most expensive luxury, and we have paid a terrible price for it, and countless volunteer soldiers have been buried in other places ever since, they are the loveliest people.
If you are in good war, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. Peace is not easy to come by, and we must cherish it even more, and only by remembering history can we make the tragedy not repeat itself.
However, 20 years ago, "Who is the Cutest Man" was deleted because it was "out of date", although today we still remember that the volunteers who fought back us imperialism are the most lovely people, but in a few decades, will anyone remember them?
In 1950, new China was in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt, and we, who had just experienced a century of turmoil, finally ushered in a peaceful reunification of the country, but our surroundings were full of crises, and contradictions first broke out on the Korean Peninsula.
After the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union represented two very different ideologies and began to divide the sphere of influence around the world, specifically to the Korean Peninsula, bounded by the 38° north latitude line, and the division between the north and the south became a fact.
After the withdrawal of the United States and the Soviet Union, in response to the growing voice of the masses, Kim Il Sung took the lead in launching a war of unification. Although the Korean people longed for reunification, the political forces behind the two Koreas would never allow such a thing to happen, and the United States immediately led the United Nations army into the battlefield in the name of "assistance".
The intervention of third-party forces has led to the defeat of the Korean army, which has won consecutive battles, and the two sides have fallen into bitter battles near the 35° north latitude line, and the DPRK is difficult to support and difficult to compete with the United Nations, and the United States has also sent aircraft carrier formations in the name of aiding the DPRK to patrol the South China Sea and even openly stationed in Taiwan.
The history of a hundred years ago seems to be about to repeat itself, but this time imperialism is not facing the decadent and incompetent Qing government, but the iron fist of socialism.
Once we were bullied by the great powers, the same thing is still happening today, backwardness is not original sin, there is no just war, and any excuse for invasion is just a dirty cover.
On October 19, 1950, the Chinese Volunteer Army crossed the Yalu River and entered the Korean battlefield. At that time, we were facing the number one power in the capitalist camp, which seemed to be an impossible war to win, and although there were weapons and equipment aided by the Soviet Union, we could only fight with flesh and blood in the face of the steel torrent of the United Nations army.
The disparities in armament did not deter the heroic volunteer soldiers, who were never armed with armor, but with revolutionary ideals of self-denial and courage to see death as a homecoming.
The warriors also had parents, children, brothers, and living people, but for the sake of their families and their homeland behind them, they decided to sacrifice themselves in exchange for victory.
Far away from the battlefield, we may not know what kind of situation this is, but Wei Wei knows. As a war writer who eats and lives with the soldiers on the front line, Wei Wei is impressed by the heroic sacrifice of the soldiers, and he knows that he has the responsibility to tell all this to the people the soldiers want to protect.
Who was the most lovely person, no doubt, it was the volunteer soldiers who charged forward, Wei Wei recorded their stories, and had the idea of recording the last moments for them.
But such touching scenes almost every day, everywhere, read it at length, Wei Wei himself felt that he could not highlight the greatness of the heroes, and after careful consideration, he decided to keep only a few of the most memorable heroic deeds.
The real words touched the softest part of every reader's heart, and Chairman Mao was also very moved after reading it. Chinese's hearts were connected at this moment, and the blood of the frontline soldiers fell into everyone's heart without fail.
Wei Wei did not think that this was his own merit, but the heroic deeds were already great, and all he could do was record him completely.
The determination to defend the country inspires every soldier who fights bloodily on the front line, believing that their sacrifice can be exchanged for victory in the war, the rise of the motherland, and the happiness of the people.
In 1951, "Who is the loveliest person" was published in the People's Daily, and soon after it was included in the middle school language textbook, the young people of the republic should remember this history, the young people of the republic should remember these heroes, and the young people of the republic should know who is our enemy.
However, at the turn of the century, "Who is the Most Lovely Person" suddenly disappeared from the language textbook, and Wang Xuming, then deputy director of the General Office of the Ministry of Education, gave only "inappropriate" reasons for deleting this work that was of great significance to the country, the nation, and the individual.
Around 2001, we still Chinese, what has changed? It is the enemy who has disappeared. Or the flames of war were extinguished, or we joined the WTO.
Today, "Who is the Cutest Man" has returned to the language textbook, and the young people of the new era can see the bloody sacrifices of revolutionary martyrs, see today's peace is not easy to come by, and see the strong enemies around us, which is not only the return of a text, but the return of the national spirit that has been passed down for thousands of years.
The war is not over, where we can't see, there are many unnamed heroes escorting us, heroes should be remembered, spirits should be passed on, they are the people who are really worthy of our pursuit.
Since ancient times, China has had no shortage of heroes, who are the backbone of the nation. In modern times, even at the critical moment of life and death, the great Chinese nation has never bent its eyebrows against a powerful enemy; it is precisely because of this indomitable spirit that we have overthrown the feudal imperial system and moved toward a democratic republic; it is precisely because of this indomitable spirit that we have won the War of Resistance Against Japan and marched toward unity and reunification; it is precisely because of this indomitable spirit that we have shaken off the encirclement, pursuit, blockade, and blockade and marched toward the broad road.
Today, however, there are people who, for the sake of flattery, want us to give up this source of strength and steal our lives.
A person who is independent does not need to change himself in order to cater to others, let alone an independent country.
Instead of speculating on the thoughts of others, it is better to straighten up and be honest with yourself, if the momentary bend is to exchange for a precious window of time, then the humiliation should end here, and on October 1, 1949, Chinese people have already stood up!
