There are some people on the Internet who have always become tigers in three, rumors that have been shoveled by all mouths to confuse the masses, black and white have been reversed, and noise has not stopped; in the era of the great Mao People's Commune and the great collective, they have always regarded poverty as glory, taken pride in backwardness, and are hungry and eat grass roots and coal.
I think this is the most shameless and bottomless malicious rumor-mongering and slander in the world.
The sixties and seventies, which were slandered by these people as the poorer and more glorious, the more backward and proud, were actually the whole country, with one heart and one mind, one heart, one heart, and one mind; Self-reliance, hard work, twisting into a rope, thinking in one place, and making efforts in one place; The passion of making up your mind, not being afraid of sacrifice, overcoming all difficulties, and striving for victory burns the era of selfless dedication.
In that good era when enthusiasm was like fire and full of sincerity to build a new China, the cadres and the masses were close to each other, the military and the people were fish and water, and the leading cadres were connected with the hearts of the masses. People are united and fraternal, help each other, and are as close as brothers and sisters.
At that time, were we really proud of being poor and proud of being backward?
Anyone with the slightest conscience would not agree with such a view.
It's easy to debunk such a shameless lie.
As long as the before and after the founding of the country is compared, will things not be clear, clear, and clear at a glance? Always taking today's achievements in scientific and technological development to negate the great achievements of the previous thirty years is either stupid or deliberately making bad. Just as we are today, no matter how great we are, we cannot compare with forty years later.
In fact, think about it, what was the life expectancy before the founding of the country? What is the average life expectancy after the founding of the People's Republic of China? What was the grain production before the founding of the People's Republic of China? What was the grain production after the founding of the People's Republic of China? What was the pre-nation population? What was the population after the founding of the Country? Isn't the fact incomparably clear in such a comparison?
Whether in agriculture, industry, science and technology, national defense, or education, medical care, housing, pension and other fields; Whether it is the quality of quantity or the speed and efficiency, the rapid development and high efficiency of that time have surprised the people of the world.
This is an important reason why the Western countries have always hated and feared us.
Because we're moving so fast! The developed countries of the West feel the urgent threat of repression.
In a short period of nearly thirty years, we have rapidly grown into a powerful and awe-inspiring inviolable nation; We have a complete industrial system; We owe neither domestic nor external debt; Many of our scientific research achievements are constantly evolving and emerging. We are not afraid of all the powerful enemies and bullies in the world, and dare to compete with any world hegemonic power that cannot be matched! We not only dare to fight, but we will definitely win! The military and the people are united as one, try to see who can be the enemy in the world!
All this does not prove that we were strong and tough at that time?
What other poor and backward country can do this? Can a society that is proud of its poverty and proud of its backwardness have such an iron backbone and a lifetime of righteousness? Can you achieve such a brilliant achievement? Can people all over the world be amazed and admired?
Could it be that the proposals advocated at that time, which were extremely exciting and invigorating, were "mustering up all the vigor and striving for the upper reaches, and building socialism as quickly and efficiently as possible," "taking grain as the guideline for all-round development," "digging deep holes, accumulating grain extensively, and not seeking hegemony," and "building the four modernizations," all signs and powerful evidence of poverty and backwardness?
In fact, in that era of foolishness and mountain movement, which was full of passion and took pleasure in suffering, many heroic models of the times emerged on all fronts and in all walks of life, neither pretending to be pretentious, showy, nor half-hearted, but wholehearted, sincere, and serving the people. For example, Wang Jinxi, Jiao Yulu, Shi Chuanxiang, Chen Yonggui, Lin Gui, Lei Feng...
An era that prides itself on being poor and proud of its backwardness, can it gush out so many heroes of the times? Is it possible to build a nation with such a single-mindedness? Can such lofty ideals and beliefs be born?
Those who preach the poorer and more glorious, the more backward and proud they are, bow your proud heads in the face of a great deal of facts. Because lies are always lies, the water flood reef is revealed, and the snow buries cattle in the future. Your malicious smear and slander can only make the truth clearer and clearer; It will only allow more and more future generations to see through the fog of history and understand the true face of Lushan; It will only make the slowly rising sun shine brighter!
