From 1840 to the present, in the past 200 years, the most profound historical changes have taken place in the land of China, with various characters appearing on the scene, and large and small events are full of inevitability and accident.
In the face of an extremely deep national crisis, whoever can lead the people to resist foreign aggression and save the motherland from danger will be able to gain the people's heartfelt trust and support; otherwise, they will be abandoned by the people.
This is the key to understanding the development of China's modern history.
In other words, those who the people only need, trust, support, and support only resisting aggression, eliminating oppression, and maintaining national stability and development, traitors, exploiters, and turmoil, will all be overthrown and overthrown by the people and discarded in the dust of history.
With this key to open the door of China's modern and contemporary history, all problems, controversies, and contradictions can be solved and suddenly enlightened.
In the meantime, it has undergone three great historical changes: one was the Xinhai Revolution, which ended thousands of years of absolute monarchy; once, the people's republic of China was founded and the basic system of socialism was established; and the other was reform and opening up, striving for modernization.
It's a complex and painstaking process of exploration. Whether it is revolution, construction or reform, there is no ready-made plan left by predecessors, and everything can only be carried out by Chinese groping forward in practice.
This process continues to this day, like a non-stop relay run, and the successor always takes the position that the predecessor has reached as the starting point and then runs far ahead of it.
The twists and turns that have been made by the predecessors are also the wealth of the successors. It is also like climbing a tall building always having to go up from one slightly lower step to another, and it is not allowed to go beyond the actual possibility and ascend to the sky.
That's how history moves forward.
