[Che Guevara] "Wears a black beret, always smokes a cigar, has long curly hair, and has deep and melancholy eyes, which is very attractive." It was a well-known image of Che Guevara that can still be seen in many places today. Che Guevara has become a symbol, but also a symbol of the global counterculture. (This is a set of photos reflecting different periods of Che Guevara)
[Che Guevara and Castro] Regarding Guevara's life, I have seen this evaluation, "Guevara is constantly falling from the clouds to hell, and he has been moving forward and practicing, pushing the adventurous spirit of modern people to the extreme." He was a warrior who sacrificed his life and forgot his life, he was a rebel with romantic feelings, he was a mysterious and determined revolutionary, he was a rebel who regarded death as a homecoming. ”
In the history of the Cuban Revolution, Guevara's name is always closely linked to Castro. Guevara and Castro met in Mexico, and the same ideals hit them off. In 1956, the two led 82 fighters to Cuba by boat and began a vigorous revolutionary cause. After the success of the Cuban Revolution, Castro became the leader, and Che Guevara became the one who controlled the country's economic lifeline.
[Guevara and Castro] Guevara did not understand the economy at all, and the Cuban economy was a mess by him. Guevara, who first reformed the Cuban lands, declared: "This is a just war against imperialism." Land reform deprives those who forcibly occupy other people's lands, and those who forcibly occupy the most powerful people or the U.S. government. ”
[Che Guevara] One of Che Guevara's major initiatives was to forcibly nationalize more than 160 American enterprises and Cuban national capital in Cuba, and even "quickly nationalized barber shops and shoe repair shops on the streets of Havana." Such a crazy move forced a large number of rich Cubans to flee. At that time, the AMERICAN magazine Time commented: "Castro is the heart and soul of contemporary Cuba; Raul Castro is the fist of the revolution, Guevara is the brain, and he is the main person responsible for Cuba's turn to the left." ”
Before leaving Cuba, Guevara was minister of industry and president of the National Bank, and he held the lifeblood of Cuba's economy. The chaotic economic policies have left the Cuban people miserable. In the end, the Cuban people even had a problem eating, and the people complained.
In addition to the chaos of economic policy, Guevara excludes dissidents and kills people like hemp. Lucian Normedina, a close communicator for Castro, later recalled: "[Che Guevara] kills people as easily as porridge." Che Guevara said: "If anyone said a good word for the government of the past, I could have shot him." ”
[Che Guevara at the United Nations General Assembly] Because of Che Guevara's policy of terror, many Cubans have been forced to flee. In fact, from the day of the victory of the Cuban Revolution, the Cuban fleeing operation began. According to the data, in the three years from 1959 to 1962 alone, 300,000 people fled Cuba, and people could not stand the tossing and turning of Che Guevara.
In March 1965, Che Guevara suddenly left Cuba for a mystery. In his letter to Castro, Che Guevara wrote: "Wherever there is imperialism, there is a need for revolution; all this is enough to inspire and heal any wounds." "After leaving Cuba, Che Guevara first came to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa. Soon after, Guevara came to Bolivia in South America to lead the guerrilla war.
On October 8, 1967, a deserter in Che Guevara's guerrilla group revealed Che Guevara's whereabouts to Bolivian special forces, and Che Guevara was captured. The next day, Che Guevara was shot and killed nine times at the age of 39. Undaunted as he lay dying, Che Guevara shouted at the executioner, "Shoot, coward!" What you're going to kill is a real man! ”
