Today's China is in such a position, no matter what kind of big things happen on this planet, no matter who it is, we cannot ignore China's face, especially the hegemonic behavior of a few world hooligans, and we can no longer get around China. More and more people believe that in the near future, China must be the leader of human civilization, unquestionable, irreversible, 233 countries and regions in the world, only China occupies such a psychological position, why? This is the strength that we have accumulated over five thousand years Chinese.
In the past five thousand years, the Chinese nation has done three great things, the first of which is that we have used five thousand years to prove that the Chinese nation has great hard work and talent; The second is that we have used 100 years to prove that the Chinese nation will never tolerate backward ambition and courage, and the third is that we have used these 70 years to verify our national character of pursuing perfection, from material to spiritual, we are always on the road of being picky about ourselves, proving that this nation is most qualified to guide the future of the world, and there is absolutely no second nation in this world like the Chinese nation that has done the above three things, not to mention three things, even one thing has not been done by the second nation.
The first thing is that the civilization of five thousand years ago has extended to today's only Chinese family, and the key is that we have always been the protagonists at every time of the five thousand years.
Five thousand years ago, the Egyptians calculated the rise and fall of the Nile, Chinese split the mountains and waters to create a calendar, leading the world into the era of agricultural civilization; Four thousand years ago, the Lianghe civilization bronze leading the world, and the Chinese Sanxingdui bronze leading the Lianghe civilization; Three thousand years ago, the Chinese Sons and Hundred Families and the Three Saints of the West worked together to create the axis era of world civilization; Two thousand years ago, we competed with the Roman Empire to unify the country, and if the Roman Empire dared to challenge Chinese civilization at that time, we could beat this second place into slag. A thousand years ago, we competed with the Arab world for commercial wealth, the largest city in the world is Kaifeng, and the most prosperous port is Quanzhou. Now, we are wrestling with the world hegemon, and the West is competing with industrial civilization and informatization, and some people say that for five thousand years, China has been the protagonist of the world card table, the opponent has changed batch after batch, we have never left, this is absolutely true.
The key is how many years of human civilization is in total, if it is calculated according to the appearance of words, it is only 6,000 years, if it appears according to bronze, it is less than five thousand years, that is to say, since the emergence of human civilization, China has always been the leader of the world, to achieve such achievements, it must have top talent, talent crushing alone is not enough, but also gritting teeth and teeth efforts, even gritting teeth is not enough, but also talent crushing.
At the card table where human civilization has advanced, there is such a classmate, how do you make those who want to be king and hegemonic feel?
There is no country in the world that does not want to sit in the front row, and some countries have worked hard for hundreds or even thousands of years, and they are also very hardworking, but today their sense of existence is still something that has little to do with human civilization. Of course, there are also some countries in modern history to overtake in the corner of the up-and-coming star for one or two hundred years, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and now the United States, have all been the protagonists in the talent show, we are not saying that the rising star of one or two hundred years must not be as powerful as the civilization of five thousand years, the key is that China has had experience that they did not have, Chinese even if they fell, they can get up, not strong, rather than die, such courage and ambition that are absolutely not weak, only Chinese have proved it.
That's the second thing Chinese do, and as with personal growth, people who haven't experienced failure and then got back on their feet are not qualified to prove themselves strong.
From 1840 to 1949, this hundred years of time, China fell from the peak of human civilization to the abyss of the imminent extinction of the country, China fell, repeated the grade, many ancient civilizations in the world have had such an experience, they have never raised their heads, disappeared into the depths of history, became a fragment of civilization, but only China, only a hundred years, with four generations, China stood up again.
The first generation was adults around 1860, they experienced two Opium Wars, suddenly found that China was really backward, others stretched out a finger thicker than their own waist, Hu Linyi, one of the four generals of the late Qing Dynasty, saw a small foreign steamship on the Yangtze River, the waves brought up overturned the Qing army's warships, Hu Linyi vomited blood in the sky, and the first sentence after passing out was that the sky was going to change. This generation has experienced from the self-confidence in the great powers of the Heavenly Dynasty to the pain of falling behind people, although they are too late to respond effectively, but they know it quickly enough and painfully enough, because of the pride given to them by five thousand years of culture, they will have such sensitivity.
The second generation is an adult around 1890, after they were awakened by the first generation, in their own way, sacrificing their lives to save this nation, Tan Sitong is such a person, because he feels that the changes in the laws of various countries have not succeeded without bloodshed, so he can obviously live, but take the initiative to shed his own blood, Qiu Jin and Chen Tianhua are also such people, they know that their role may be sacrifice, just sacrifice, national rejuvenation will not be completed in their hands, but they are willing to be sacrificed, Only with a huge base of willing victims can we produce people who truly save the fate of the nation, which is very demanding and is a requirement for the overall quality of the nation, and facts have proved that few nations in the world can do it.
The third generation is an adult around 1925, the efforts of the previous generation, in this generation has been almost miraculously rewarded, just like 2500 years ago, a group of brilliant and brilliant figures of great wisdom and courage suddenly appeared in Chinese history, in the past ten or twenty years, a group of people with wisdom, morality, and perseverance at the peak have gathered together under the glory of ideals, they have found the path for China to return to the peak of world civilization, made groundbreaking events, and traveled twenty-five thousand miles. At the foot of Pagoda Mountain, he completed a series of ideological masterpieces that will forever be recorded in the annals of history and established a new China.
The fourth generation is the adults around 1950, they went abroad, defended the country, and fought with the world's most powerful military group for life and death, and then spent decades to achieve the achievements of the West for hundreds of years, from the first generation a hundred years ago, the Chinese nation is not willing to show weakness, from this generation, Shangganling, Qian Xuesen, Chinese people have since stood up, it is they who use their own blood, life and everything to prove to the world.
It is such four generations, each generation has done its best to complete its responsibilities, and everyone has completed the process of a nation from sinking to rising, has there ever been in this world? No, this is precisely where China reassures its friends and frightens hostile people, because the Chinese nation, after four generations and a hundred years, has added two qualities in addition to the original endowment of diligence, hard work, wisdom and wisdom:
First, Chinese is to have this mentality, can not allow their own backwardness, backward will be reminded by a generation, a generation of sacrifice, a generation of heavenly help, a generation of sleepless pursuit back.
Second, after Chinese have gone through all this, we can not be arrogant, broad-minded, have enough strategic determination, know what is our core interests, know what a paper tiger is, and not be confused by the gains and losses of one thing or another.
This is the key to the victory or defeat of the big chess game in the next twenty or thirty years, but it is not China's goal, China's goal China has already said, it is the sea of stars, this is the third thing that Chinese do in these seventy years, what has China told the world in these seventy years?
What China has proved to the world in the past seventy years is China's pursuit, Chinese the pursuit of perfect civilization, from the Chinese stood up seventy years ago, to the take-off of China's economy thirty years ago, to today's China has become one of the world's few powerful countries, China is as always doing groundbreaking things, things that truly belong to human civilization.
Since seventy years ago, China and the Western powers have been developing in different modes of behavior, if you use a sentence to distinguish, that is, the West recognizes the law of the jungle, between countries, between people and people with the theory of strength, the strong eat all, this is the animal attribute that human beings have not yet come out of, China does not recognize the law of the jungle, that is not what human civilization should be. The Chinese nation's five thousand years of sages and centuries of martyrs, has been pursuing an equal world, this is the real human society divorced from the animal attributes, the achievements of China in the past seventy years, the protection of the weak, equality and common wealth, let the world see this possibility of human society,
For this goal, for seventy years, Chinese are becoming more and more critical, and for all acts that deviate from the principle of human equality, whether between people or between countries, Chinese becoming more and more intolerable, as long as we encounter such things, we must speak out loud, not allowed, when some countries think that it is human nature for the strong to bully the weak, Chinese is saying no more and more, this is what China is doing.
At the time of doing this article, my city, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, is fighting the epidemic with one heart and one mind, the property management staff of my community is isolated because it is close contact, the public security and urban management staff take over the doorpost, standing guard outdoor at thirty-seven or eight degrees, the neighbors of the community are volunteers, the garbage is removed by themselves, the old and weak women and children who are isolated at home, everyone comes together to help, there is only one voice in the community group, that is, we must win.
Some time ago, as soon as the violent incident of beating women in Tangshan occurred, the people of the whole country immediately collectively condemned and indignant, and China was not accustomed to the so-called law of the jungle using the strong to bully the weak.
Internationally, although individual world hooligans are causing trouble everywhere, China insists on making judgments independently and autonomously on the merits of the matter itself, just like the mainstay of chaotic clouds and flights, becoming the ballast stone of world peace.
The famous historian Toynbee of England once made a great assertion that the 21st century would be the century of Chinese, Toynbee died in 1975, and if he lived to this day, he would be proud of his prophecy.
At that time, the Japanese thinker Daisaku Ikeda once asked Toynbee when and where he would like to be born if he could choose the time and place of birth, and Toynbee replied that he hoped to be born in the western part of China where Buddhism had spread in the 1st century AD.
At that time, it was the era of China's strong men, and if it were me, I would be willing to be born in that era.
But I would prefer to have been born seventy years ago when China stood up, and I wish I had just been full of energy at that time.
Of course, I am also very proud of the era in which I was born, because in my ordinary life, I have witnessed the miracle of China.
I am willing to be born in Yan'an, born in the northeast, born in Beijing, born in any land in China, no matter what era I live in, I am willing to be born in China, as I very much agree with that sentence said, this life has no regrets into China, the next life is still planting flowers.
