This year marks the 76th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. During the Period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the broad masses of Chinese youth, together with other anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, forged and interpreted the great spirit of the War of Resistance with "the patriotic feelings of the rise and fall of the world and the responsibility of the people, the national integrity of treating death as a homecoming and preferring to die unyieldingly, the heroic spirit of not fearing violence and fighting to the end in blood, and the conviction of victory in perseverance and perseverance."
As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The great spirit of the War of Resistance is the precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese people, and will always be a powerful spiritual driving force to inspire the Chinese people to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." ”
The spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is an important part of the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists and is the immortal red gene of the Chinese nation.
——————————
The patriotic feelings of the rise and fall of the world and the responsibility of the people - the youth are the national vanguard of the anti-Japanese salvation movement
The great national spirit with patriotism at its core was the decisive factor in the victory of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Chairman Mao Zedong pointed out: "The degree to which this war has promoted the consciousness and unity of the Chinese people has not been matched by all the great struggles of the Chinese people in the past hundred years. ”
In the face of the national peril, the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese youth burst out like a volcano, and they united in their will to fight for the nation, for the motherland, for dignity, and gathered together a mighty force.
When the news of the "September 18" incident came, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress from all walks of life, with young students in Peiping as the vanguard, was established, calling on compatriots throughout the country to go to the country to suffer hardships and issue a precursor to the anti-Japanese struggle to save the dead. After the North China Incident, the sad and indignant Beiping students spontaneously rushed into the streets and vowed to "set off a huge wave of national self-help," and the huge "12.9" movement quickly spread throughout the country.
After the outbreak of the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, countless enthusiastic young people were full of passion and served the country from the military. There were only 90,000 people in Fuping County, Hebei Province, while as many as 20,000 young and middle-aged people participated in the war, and more than 5,000 people died heroically later.
In 1939, Wang Zhengnan, a 28-year-old young man from Feicheng, Shandong Province, organized anti-Japanese armed forces in his hometown. Under his initiative, more than 10 people, including his brothers, cousins and cousins, joined the Eighth Route Army one after another, and later the family took photos on a large tree, known as the "Eighth Route Army of one tree".
Yan'an, the seat of the CPC Central Committee, is the place to which anti-Japanese youth yearn, and thousands of patriotic young people, with the enthusiasm of resisting Japan and saving the country and the desire to seek revolutionary truth, as well as their trust in the Communist Party of China, rushed to Yan'an from the occupied areas, the rear areas, and even from overseas, over the layers of blockades, and went through countless hardships to go to Yan'an.
The famous poet He Qifang described it this way: "The gates of Yan'an are open all day long, and young people from all over the place, carrying luggage and burning hope, enter this city gate. Then groups of people, dressed in military uniforms and burning with enthusiasm, scattered in all directions. ”
Another young man wrote a poem: "Cut off my flesh and tendons, break my bones and heart." As long as I still have a breath, I will climb to Yan'an City. ”
In the spring of 1938, Fu Ke, a 23-year-old hainanese living in Vietnam, rushed to Yan'an. After the Japanese army invaded and occupied Hainan, he mobilized the Vietnamese overseas Chinese to set up a homecoming service group to break through the Japanese army's sea blockade and return to Qiong to carry out field rescue and anti-Japanese propaganda.
On May 4, 1939, Mao Zedong delivered a speech entitled "The Direction of the Youth Movement" at the meeting of young people from all walks of life in Yan'an to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the May Fourth Movement, praising "the Yan'an Youth Movement is the model of the national youth movement, and the direction of the Yan'an Youth Movement is the direction of the national youth movement."
Under the direct care of the CPC Central Committee, the youth movement in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region has always attached importance to guiding the enthusiasm and creativity of young people into armed struggle, economic construction, and cultural construction, which has had a far-reaching impact on the anti-Japanese salvation movement of young people throughout the country.
The national integrity of treating death as a homecoming and preferring to die unyieldingly - young people are a glorious model of sacrificing their lives for righteousness
In that bloody and rainy era, the vast number of Chinese youth threw their heads and spilled their blood, and they threw themselves into the torrent of anti-Japanese resistance without hesitation and fought in the forefront of the War of Resistance. As the saying goes, "Sincerity is both courageous and martial, and in the end it is strong and invincible." The body is dead and the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute as a ghost. ”
A newspaper editorial at that time wrote: "On the battlefield between the north and the south today, we are fighting for death and rushing to death, because everyone has absolute faith and knows that sacrificing themselves is in exchange for the independence and freedom of the chinese nation for generations to come." ”
After the "9.18" incident, the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the Communist Party of China galloped between the White Mountains and the Black Water. In October 1938, 23-year-old Leng Yun and 7 other young female fighters of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, in the face of the Japanese puppet army's forced surrender, would rather die than yield, destroy guns, shout anti-Japanese slogans, and collectively sink the river.
Bai Junshi, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Iron Blooded Army and commander of the Third Route Army, participated in the creation of the anti-Japanese group at the age of 24. In the winter of 1938, he was arrested for betrayal by traitors. In prison, the enemy was both soft and hard, and he preferred to die unyieldingly, and said in awe- and awe-inspiringly: "I will be a Chinese for one day, and I will not do it as a ghost slave for a day!" "In March 1939, the enemy took him to the foot of Erlong Mountain, first cut off his tongue, and then executed him, at the age of 31.
During the fall of Peiping, the CCP's underground workers in Beiping, who were fighting on the hidden front, killed the enemy invisibly in the tiger's den. They were determined that "in the event of an accident, they must maintain revolutionary integrity, prefer to sacrifice themselves, never expose the organization, and never involve comrades."
Wang Ji, a member of the Beiping underground party and a female college student, successfully completed the tasks assigned by the party organization many times, but was unfortunately arrested, and in the face of the enemy's threats and inducements, he shouted and angrily rebuked her, and was killed on the spot. Send my national soul! ”
On the night of December 7, 1940, Chen Hanzhang, commander-in-chief of the Third Front Army of the First Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, was unfortunately shot in battle with the Japanese army and surrounded by the enemy. In the end, the Japanese brutally cut off his head, and Chen Hanzhang died heroically at the age of 27.
The heroism of not fearing violence and fighting to the end in blood - young people who have followed in the footsteps of the former servants and fought in blood
Chairman Mao Zedong once proudly said: "We in the Chinese nation have the courage to fight to the end against our enemies in blood." In the unprecedentedly fierce War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the vast number of Chinese youth fought bloody battles "braved the enemy's artillery fire" and fought to the end in blood.
In November 1936, Xia Yunjie, commander of the Sixth Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army, when he was seriously wounded and in danger, repeatedly instructed his comrades-in-arms around him to unite and carry out the cause of anti-Japanese national liberation to the end, and he was only 33 years old when he died.
In March 1943, in order to cover the transfer of the leading organs of the party, government and army in Huaihai District, the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion, 19th Regiment, 7th Brigade, 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army, launched a fierce battle with the Japanese Kou at Liu Laozhuang in Huaiyin, Jiangsu Province. In the face of the Japanese puppet army, which was 20 times larger than themselves, the 82 brave soldiers of the whole company were not afraid, fought bravely, fought until the last breath, and all of them were martyred. In order to commemorate this battle, after the war, the people of Huaiyin selected 82 outstanding young people to join the company, and the company was named "Liu Laozhuang Company".
Dong Ning, secretary of the Second Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China in southern Hebei, joined the Communist Party of China at the age of 20. In May 1943, in the course of the operational breakthrough, Dong Ning was hit in the front jaw by a bullet, which penetrated the back of the head, and at the moment of falling, he said to the guards around him: "I have party documents in my purse, you quickly take it off and take it away..." When the guard took off the bag and handed it to other comrades, he could no longer speak, shed the last drop of blood for the party and the people, and was only 26 years old when he died.
Ren Changlun, a "first-class combat hero" in the Shandong Anti-Japanese Base Area, joined the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army at the age of 19, participated in more than 120 large and small battles, and was wounded 9 times. In July 1944, Ren Changlun held his position with wounds, and when he ran out of ammunition, he took the lead in rushing to the Japanese army and engaged in a white-knife battle with them, he stabbed 5 Japanese soldiers to death, and finally led his comrades to hold the position. However, he was unfortunately shot and died heroically, when he was only 23 years old.
Ren Yihan, the head of the first district of Lingchuan County, Shanxi, and a member of the Communist Party, led the county's progressive youth to join the anti-Japanese salvation movement at the age of 21, and later participated in the formation of guerrilla groups to carry out armed struggle. On February 13, 1945, during the turn of war, he was informed by the traitors, and the enemy dispatched more than 100 people to surround him, and after Ren Yihan killed 3 enemies, he preferred to die and shot himself, at the age of 28.
The indomitable and stoic belief in victory -- the youth roared in a bloody battle with the Japanese invaders to the end
Faith is like a torch, nine deaths without regret. From the moment the iron hooves of the Japanese militarist aggressors stepped into the land of China, countless outstanding Chinese youths who were self-reliant and tenacious carried out a great struggle against the aggressors; no matter how arduous the conditions, no matter how cruel the war, no matter how great the sacrifices, they all held the conviction of resisting the war to the end and recovering the rivers and mountains, and they never wavered.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression throughout the whole nation, a zhuang family in the North China Plain wrote the following couplet: "All the people are united in guaranteeing national independence and striving for national liberation with all their might." This is a declaration of the Chinese nation's victory in the War of Resistance.
In the Taihang Mountains of Shanxi Province, Wang Xiaoci (formerly known as Xiang Zongren), a 32-year-old Communist Party member, not only fought on the front line of the anti-Japanese war himself, but also encouraged his family to join the anti-Japanese war, confidently writing in a letter to his fifth brother Xiang Zongsheng: "The 'War of Resistance' is our great mother, and she is giving birth to a new China, a new nation, and a new people." We want to "march hand in hand to the light and to the road of truth!" He encouraged Xiang Zongsheng to become a "hero of the liberation of the Chinese nation." Under the inspiration of Wang Xiaoci, Xiang Zongsheng gave up his stable job as a teacher and joined the Eighth Route Army.
In June 1942, due to the informant of the traitors, Lin Xinping, chief of the cultural and educational section of the anti-Japanese coalition government in Jintan and other five counties and a female soldier of the New Fourth Army, was arrested, and she angrily rebuked the puppet army that had surrendered: "Communists are born to be masters, and die as ghosts." Think for yourself how long you can live! "On the way to be escorted, the pseudo-military pierced her breasts with wire and led her through the streets. Lin Xinping endured severe pain and shouted to the onlookers: "The War of Resistance will be won, and the New Fourth Army will definitely come to liberate you!" In the end, after Lin Xinping was mutilated by the Japanese army, he was thrown into a sulfuric acid tank to destroy the body and died at the age of 23.
Learn from the past, know the comers. History has eloquently proved that the spirit of the War of Resistance Was gradually formed by the CPC in uniting and leading the people of all nationalities throughout the country in the great practice of realizing national independence and national liberation; the war of resistance of the whole nation is an important magic weapon for the victory of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japan; and the mainstay role of the CPC is the key to the victory of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
76 years ago, Chinese youth were an important creative force in the great spirit of the War of Resistance, and 76 years later, Chinese youth were a new force to inherit the spirit of the Great War of Resistance.
Now, the Communist Party of China has united and led the Chinese people to embark on a new road to achieve the second centenary goal. The future belongs to young people, and hope is placed on young people. Chinese youth in the new era inherit the red gene, carry forward the great spirit of the War of Resistance, integrate youth struggle into the cause of the party and the people, continue to march courageously toward the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and constantly comfort our predecessors and heroes with the new achievements of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics!
