It's been more than sixty years since the outbreak of the Korean War. No matter what age Chinese, as long as they look at the upper right corner of their territory, many people will hear the war song of "majestic and exuberant" and the airtight gunfire. It was a one-year-old new China, out of the obligation of internationalism and the need to defend the country, decisively sent troops, fought to the death against the world's most powerful countries and armies, and won a huge victory in the "First World War." This battle not only brought out the national prestige and military prestige of New China, but also the humiliation of China's repeated defeats to the Western powers in modern history.
From the Opium War to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China has experienced a continuous war of one hundred and eleven decades, removing the chapter of the civil war, and in the war of foreign self-defense, there are few records of independent victory over foreign enemies. However, in 1950, this history was rewritten. Mao Zedong and his generation of Chinese Communists have made unparalleled historical merits in the history of the Chinese nation. Salisbury, president of the American Writers Association, said of the Long March: "Once the human spirit is aroused, its power is endless. "Shangganling once again showed the soaring arrogance of that generation of Chinese.
After this "World War I," not only did the arrogant Americans lose face, but even the Japanese, who laid down their arms in China a few years ago, really believed that Chinese had indeed stood up. This "First World War" made the overseas Chinese in the world raise their eyebrows and breathe a sigh of relief, and a large number of overseas talents returned to the motherland like a hundred rivers and returned to the sea; this "First World War" made many countries in the world stretch out their hands to embrace New China. In this "First World War," there are too many miracles written in the history of modern wars in the world and in the history of international relations. Therefore, there are endless revelations for people today and in the future to reminisce.
I have always believed that as a battle for the Chinese nation to die and live after, Chinese should memorize every detail of it with more devotion than the faithfulness.
Peace is not achieved by concessions. Since the Opium War in 1840, the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, before the founding of New China, have continuously made concessions to the world's large and small powers for more than a hundred years, resulting in the loss of Taiwan by Ryukyu and the loss of Beiping City by the three eastern provinces, and almost the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, without the peace that the rulers have always imagined. In the end, it was still desperate to fight the "First World War" to escape. New China had just been founded, and the sixteen countries headed by the United States followed the inertial thinking of the Eight-Power Alliance and marched menacingly to the doorstep of China. However, this time, instead of signing an unequal treaty, they encountered a Chinese who would only nod their heads and sign an unequal treaty, but a new Chinese who dared to use "cannons and machine guns to debate"! New China won the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and conveniently burned all kinds of unequal treaties like nooses, and the sunshine of peace shone for the first time on the bright smiling faces of Chinese.
Dignity is above the blade of the brave. A true swordsman can fall under the other's sword, but must not kneel under the opponent's sword. A country and a nation must also dare to show their swords and win the minimum dignity and right to live in a world where the law of the jungle prevails.
More than sixty years have passed since the Korean War. Today's China is as peace-loving as ever, but today its surroundings remain surrounded by a succession of "broken zones" of hostile military bases, military alliances, nuclear weapons, casinos and drugs, and terrorism. Japanese commentator Masahiro Miyazaki spent a year traveling to China's neighboring countries, and after in-depth investigation, he found that China is a "country completely surrounded by geopolitics." Some countries have openly encroached on China's territorial waters, islands, and reefs; some countries have wantonly provoked armed forces and insulted and killed overseas Chinese; and national separatists have been arrogant. In the economic sphere, a "mob-like" world trade attack is being launched against China; even pirates are following suit.
External troubles are serious, while internal troubles are worrying. Corruption prevails in the bureaucracy, while money worship prevails in the folk. After more than thirty years of reform and opening up, China has accumulated a little wealth, but a considerable number of people are immersed in song and dance and do not want to forge ahead, and the martial spirit that once made New China stand tall in the world was almost annihilated.
At this moment, recalling and contemplating the earth-shaking war, recalling the historical apocalypse that can only be reconciled if you can fight, and dare to fight to be able to speak, may have a slight sobering effect. The reason why New China held its head high was because Huang Jiguang stood in front of Chinese.
Today's China, the whole world advocates peace and harmony, but it is probably not enough to rely on Confucius re-traveling around the world more than 2,000 years ago and only reciting the "He" character sutra on various occasions. A nation without a spirit of courage and martial spirit, let alone the rise and rejuvenation of the people, even to gain the minimum respect of other countries and defend their most basic legitimate rights and interests, in fact, it is difficult to do so. Some scholars also preach what "soft power" China exerts. If it is force, it must be hard, and to stitch soft and strength together can only deceive oneself and not deceive others. Soft is soft, and soft power is the shadow of hard power. The old cow seeks peace everywhere and is always in danger, the tiger does not make a sound and does not seek self-peace, whose "soft" is more powerful? The laws of nature not only exist in human history, but also in reality and the future.
