In the rapidly evolving contemporary society, people's beliefs seem to be undergoing unprecedented changes. We have to ask: will people's beliefs change? And is this change a social progress or a regression? Today, we're going to delve into this question, trying to find out how beliefs have evolved and how they've affected people in different eras.
Faith is people's firm belief in life, the world, and values. It is a kind of spiritual sustenance, but also a kind of strength. During the war years, faith was the spiritual pillar for people to resist fear and overcome difficulties. However, in some cases, faith can also lead to conflicts and contradictions, or even evolve into blind faith, obscuring reason and wisdom.
Beliefs in the context of different eras

Differences in beliefs in different regions
Americans' beliefs are often closely linked to individualism and liberalism. They emphasize the rights and freedoms of the individual and pursue the realization and promotion of personal values. They believe in the power of capital, and this belief reflects the openness and pluralism of American society, as well as power politics.
The beliefs of Europeans are also capitalist beliefs, and they tend more towards humanism and rationalism. On the bright side, they attach importance to the inheritance and development of history, culture and art, and pursue the quality of life and spiritual satisfaction. This belief reflects the profound heritage and humanistic care of European society. On the negative side, they follow the United States in wanting to occupy the top of the food chain and plunder the world's wealth through capital and technology.
The belief of the Japanese is to advocate a strong power, or to be strong themselves, plundering the resources of the surrounding area; Either obey the powerful state and be his retinue.
The Arabs believe in Islam, and they emphasize fear of Allah and loyalty to their family. This belief occupies an important place in Arab society and influences the way they perceive and behave in the world.
In the face of differences in beliefs in different times and regions, we should learn to respect and understand each other's beliefs. True social harmony and progress can only be achieved when we understand, respect and embrace different faiths. At the same time, we should also strive to find ways for the coexistence of various faiths, so that different beliefs can play an active role in contemporary society and jointly promote the development of human civilization.
Many people say that Chinese have no faith, which is not true. The faith of the Chinese is not single, and not all people have the same faith. Everyone has their own beliefs and values, which can be influenced by a variety of factors such as family, education, society, and culture. Therefore, the beliefs of the Chinese are diverse and complex, and it is difficult to summarize them with a simple answer.
In terms of religious beliefs, Buddhism has a wide influence in China, especially Mahayana Buddhism. Taoism is the native religion of China, which emphasizes living in harmony with nature, cultivating the body and mind, and pursuing immortality. Islam also has a certain faith group in China, mainly in the northwest region. Catholicism and Christianity also have a certain spread and influence in China, especially in some cities and regions.
In addition to religious beliefs, China also has some unique beliefs and traditional concepts, such as Confucianism, Taoism, Mohistism, etc. These ideas emphasize values such as harmony, respect, and mutual assistance between people. In addition, there are some folk beliefs and traditional customs in China, such as ancestor worship, prayer for blessings, and exorcism of evil spirits, which are also an important part of Chinese culture.
Different eras, different beliefs
Dong Cunrui (October 15, 1929 ~ May 25, 1948), male, Han nationality, from Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, member of the Communist Party of China.
Dong Cunrui was born in a poor peasant family. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the head of the children's regiment, and once wittily shielded the secretary of the district party committee from the pursuit of the invading Japanese army, and was known as the "little hero of the anti-Japanese resistance". In July 1945, he joined the Eighth Route Army and served as the squad leader of the 6th squad of a certain department. He joined the Communist Party of China in March 1947. He had excellent military skills, combat wit and bravery, and captured more than 10 enemies in a single battle. He has made 3 great merits and 4 small merits, and won 3 "Brave Medals" and 1 "Mao Zedong Medal".
In May 1948, the battle of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to attack Longhua City began. His company was tasked with attacking the Longhua Middle School, a key defensive point of the Kuomintang defenders. He served as the leader of the demolition team, and led his comrades to blow up 4 artillery towers and 5 pillboxes one after another, and successfully completed the specified tasks. The company immediately charged, but was suddenly blocked by heavy fire from a hidden bridge-shaped bunker of the enemy, and the troops failed to blast the bunker twice in succession. Dong Cunrui stepped forward and asked the company commander to fight: "I am a member of the Communist Party, please allow me to go!" The company commander approved his request. He resolutely picked up the explosives bag and rushed to the bunker, wounding his left leg in the process, and stubbornly insisted on rushing under the bridge. Due to the height of the bridge-type bunker above the ground, it is not possible to place explosive packs on the abutments at both ends. At the critical moment when the troops' attack was blocked, he did not hesitate to hold up the explosive bag with his left hand, pull the fuse with his right hand, and shout: "For the sake of New China, rush!" The enemy bunker was blown up, and Dong Cunrui opened the way forward for the troops with his own life, and he was only 19 years old when he died.
Jiao Yulu: On May 14, 1964, Jiao Yulu, who was only 42 years old, died of liver disease. Until the last moment of his life, he was still thinking about Lankao's work and future. After more than 50 years, the poverty of Lankao is no longer there, and the people of Lankao are living a good life. "Jiao Yulu used the spirit of life cohesion to inspire generation after generation of Chinese to struggle against difficulties under the leadership of the party." Jia Guanqing, a cadre of the Teaching and Research Department of Jiao Yulu Cadre College, believes that the most fundamental reason why Jiao Yulu's spirit can transcend time and space and remain fresh for a long time is that it embodies the nature and purpose of our party. "If you think about the people in your heart, you won't just fight for fame; If you think of the common people in your heart, you will not be greedy for personal gain and trap the people. The lyrics in the Henan opera "Jiao Yulu" express Jiao Yulu's simple public servant feelings. Jiao Yulu "has all the people in his heart, but not himself". In the eyes of his wife Xu Junya, he has a habit of "throwing things".

Faith can indeed bring some spiritual strength and motivation to make people more determined and confident. This power can come from religious beliefs, belief in ideas, beliefs in the target, and so on.
