We read all the lead to present a different history.
As we all know, Dr. Sun Yat-sen was the forerunner of the great democratic revolution in modern China, and his life can be described as great and legendary. In the twentieth year of the Qing Dynasty (1894 AD), Sun Yat-sen took "reviving China" as the program of the founding of the association and took the overthrow of the Manchu feudal rule as his mission, announced the establishment of the Xingzhong Association in Honolulu, and has since embarked on the road of a lifelong struggle for revolution.

In the twenty-first year of the Qing Dynasty (1895 AD), Sun Yat-sen established the Chinese League in Japan, planned a series of armed uprisings, propagated the revolution throughout the country and put forward a revolutionary program of "expelling the Tartars, restoring China, establishing the Republic of China, and equalizing land rights". With the outbreak of the "Wuchang Uprising", people of insight in various places responded to the revolution one after another, and the "Xinhai Revolution" was successful. In the spring of the following year, the Qing Emperor Puyi announced his abdication, the Republic of China was formally established, and Sun Yat-sen was inaugurated as the president of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China in Nanjing, after which China began to move towards a democratic republic.

Unfortunately, the process is fraught with twists and turns. When the "Wuchang Uprising" broke out, Sun Yat-sen was not in China, so he missed the opportunity to gain power at the first time, coupled with the fact that the revolutionaries were not mature and did not have enough strength to consolidate the fruits of the revolution, the results of the "Xinhai Revolution" were finally stolen by Yuan Shikai. After sun Yat-sen resigned as president, he did not stop thinking about building the country, and he successively visited all parts of the country, combined with the actual national conditions, coupled with the founding policy he conceived for himself, and finally wrote the book "Strategy for The Founding of the Country". This book not only contains Mr. Zhongshan's hope for the future of the Chinese nation, but also has a great enlightenment and guidance role for future generations.

It should be pointed out that when Mr. Sun wrote the "Founding Strategy", Yuan Shikai had already ended up depressed because of the failure of the emperor, and the warlord division had thus begun, and he was in a turbulent period. This book could not be realized in the turbulent situation at that time, so in the eyes of people at the time, this was just An unrealistic and beautiful fantasy of Mr. Sun, which was completely inconsistent with China's national conditions. A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and if you re-analyze this book, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that three of the four famous prophecies put forward by Sun Yat-sen in the "Founding Strategy" have been realized, and the realization of the fourth prophecy is just around the corner.

Prophecy 1: With the construction of 160,000 kilometers of railways in China, cities and cities can rely on convenient rail transportation to become closely connected, and people's travel will become more convenient and faster. Mr. Sun attaches great importance to railways in his life, and when he examines the West, he has repeatedly lamented the developed Western railway transportation, believing that the comprehensive national strength of a country is closely related to the degree of development of railways. From the "Tangxu Railway" built by the Qing government itself, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the total length of China's railways did not exceed 9,000 kilometers, so in the eyes of people at that time, Mr. Sun was a fool's dream. Today, The total length of railways in China has reached 133,000 kilometers, and with the addition of some railways that are still being planned and built, the total railway mileage has already exceeded Mr. Zhongshan's expectations.

Prophecy 2: Build a large port comparable to the Port of New York in the north, central and southern parts of China, and build and develop three coastal economically developed areas with the port as the center. This expectation has actually been realized today, China currently has seven ports selected as the "world's top ten busiest ports", the eastern coastal area is also as Mr. Sun expected, relying on the seven major ports to form three coastal economic development areas, namely the Bohai Rim Economic Zone, the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone and the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone.

Prophecy 3: After China stabilizes, it will be eclectic and attract foreign investment to develop industries. In Chinese history, the country adopted an open and inclusive policy during its powerful period, just as Zhang Qian sent envoys to the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty, and then Zheng He went to the West seven times. The decadent and backward Manchu Qing Dynasty implemented the policy of "closing the country off the door" for a long time, so that the country has always been in a state of small-scale peasant economy, so that the level of economic development lags behind the times and the world, and finally it is bullied by the Western powers. Under the pain of pain, Mr. Sun knows that if the country wants to prosper for a long time, only by facing the world with an inclusive and open mind and vigorously attracting foreign investment can the people's living standards be truly improved. In the early 1980s, China began to implement the national policy of "reform and opening up" and vigorously attracted foreign investment to develop its economy, thus embarking on the road to prosperity.

Prophecy 4: The nation has the lofty idea of "serving all." Mr. Sun studied medicine in his early years, but sadly found that medicine could not save the country, only save people, so Mr. Zhongshan resolutely decided to abandon medicine and devote himself to the revolution, hoping to completely transform the Chinese people and change the deep-rooted thinking of the Chinese people. From a certain point of view, whether the country has strength depends on the excellent quality of the people, and everyone has faith and unity, the nation will have hope, and the country can truly become rich and strong. In recent years, the state has paid more and more attention to the cultivation of civic literacy and achieved remarkable results. With the passage of time, I believe that in the near future, it will be able to achieve the expectations of Sun Yat-sen's book.
