️ Travel through time and space to interpret the historical context
Today, we will embark on a journey through time and space to 1932, a time when the Chinese nation was in full trouble. The Northeast fell, domestic warlord strife, and social unrest. In this era, "Oriental Magazine" launched a call for articles to solicit the imagination of well-known people in China, aiming to bring a little comfort to the struggling Chinese people.
The 1932 call for papers, the thoughts and ideals left behind
At that time, "Oriental Magazine" raised two simple and thought-provoking questions: What is the dream of the future China? What are the dreams of individuals in their lives? This call for papers has made all kinds of thoughts about the future emerge in society, as well as the dreams of individuals in their hearts.
The imagination of intellectuals comes from the "aristocracy" of the city
The replyers were mainly from the cities, and their identities included the "aristocracy" such as university professors, artists, and industrialists. However, their imagination is mainly stagnant in the idealized concept of Datong society, and lacks real attention to peasants, workers, women and other groups. This raises questions about the extent to which these "elites" know about society.
Historical review, multifaceted consideration of political decision-making
By comparing history, we can see the multifaceted considerations of political decision-making. The way politicians are dealt with is influenced by many factors such as the background of the times and personal values. The historical turning point of this period is both a true portrayal and a reminder of the complexities of modern politics.
The times have changed, and the historical footprints of China's great changes
Back in 1932, it was not these "elites" who really fought for China's future, but Mao Zedong and other grassroots strugglers. Thirteen years later, the invading Japanese army was driven out of China, and 17 years later the founding of New China. This historical footprint teaches us that overcoming adversity requires practical action and a deep understanding of society.
The 1998 debate, China's economic leap
Fast forward to 1998, and China's economy was also under tremendous pressure. At this moment, there is a great debate about China's future. At first, pessimistic voices believed that China's economy would struggle to maintain high growth, but the reality proved that China's economy was growing steadily.
Contemporary inferiority, lost in fantasy
However, now we see that some well-educated people who once enjoyed the dividends of China's development show a strange inferiority. They have always belittled China's achievements, been too humble externally, and blamed themselves too much internally. This phenomenon is a kind of capitulationism, in which they are lost in the illusions of the past and refuse to face reality.
Only by facing up to reality can problems and opportunities be discovered
Both inferiority and arrogance are a form of capitulationism. Only by bravely facing China's strength and progress can we find an effective way to solve the problem. Acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses and looking for ways to improve is the key to self-confidence and hard work.
The lessons of history, the struggle for a new era
In the long course of history, we have seen the process of China's rise from the predicament. In the face of contemporary challenges, we should face up to the reality, recognize our own strengths and weaknesses, and strive for the future of our country. The times are changing, and only by not forgetting the original intention and bravely climbing the historical peak can we win the bright future.
