During those years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the land of China experienced endless pain and suffering. But in this war of national righteousness, there are two warlords with heavy armies, but they choose an incomprehensible silence, like two shadows cast on the desolation of the country. Who is it that makes them like cold-blooded bystanders when their country is in danger?
The first to bear the brunt is Sheng Shicai, who is known as the "King of Xinjiang". This warlord, who was born in Mukden and grew up in Shanghai, has performed well in political economy and is highly valued by Zhang Zuolin. However, in Guo Songling's military coup, Sheng Shicai lost his foothold in the northeast and was forced to leave his homeland. He was exiled in a foreign land, and was eventually selected by Chiang Kai-shek to be sent to the Army University for further study. However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the king of Xinjiang chose to remain silent. He felt that the war had nothing to do with him and was indifferent to the crisis of the country. In his opinion, sitting on the topography of Xinjiang, it is difficult for the Japanese army to penetrate, and there is no need for him to take risks for the country.
In order to protect his country, Sheng Shicai took the initiative to show favor to the Soviet Union and used a large amount of money to buy weapons from the Soviet Union. Such behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of the people, and he became a sinner who betrayed the righteousness of the country. The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a war for the whole people, but the king of Xinjiang ignored this fact and indulged in his own selfish interests.
Another silent warlord was Liu Wenhui, the uncle of the famous General Liu Xiang. In his early years, Liu Wenhui told a small lie in order to enter the military academy, successfully broke into the army, and became a member of the Sichuan army. Despite his military exploits, in the face of the anti-Japanese crisis, Liu Wenhui chose to remain silent. He once persuaded Liu Xiang to break away from the existing army and stand on his own, but when the country needed him, he sat at home and enjoyed his wealth.
With the rise of Chengdu, Liu Wenhui became one of the great warlords. However, his indifference to the War of Resistance against Japan is incomprehensible. Although he reluctantly donated some funds under the pressure of public opinion, he did not actually participate in the war. In the face of the call of the state, his response was silent.
The actions of these two warlords not only angered the people of the country, but also left an indelible stain on the long river of history. Sheng Shicai and Liu Wenhui, one chose to take advantage of it, and the other chose to sit back and enjoy it, but their common choice was to give up the country's righteousness. At a time when the country was in danger, their indifference became a betrayal of the heroic fighters against Japan.
The historical lessons of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression are profound and painful. The indifference and permissiveness of these two warlords made their names engraved on the pillars of shame in the hearts of the people. As Chinese, we must draw profound lessons from this history and always maintain the feelings of national righteousness. In the face of difficulties, we cannot indulge in personal self-interest, let alone choose to sit idly by. The safety of the country is the responsibility of every citizen, and only by uniting as one and working together can we safeguard the prosperity and security of the motherland.
There may have been other similar warlords in the War of Resistance Against Japan, but the actions of Sheng Shicai and Liu Wenhui are undoubtedly the most vivid examples. For us today, we should take this as a lesson, maintain a sober understanding of the general interests of the country, and be vigilant against repeating the mistakes of history. At every moment, we must contribute our strength to the interests of the country and the nation and live up to the expectations of history.
The actions of these two warlords have aroused the sorrow and resentment of the Chinese people. We cannot remain silent about such acts that deviate from the general interests of the country. Today, we need to look at history with a more open and rational attitude, and understand as much as possible the complexities and difficulties of that era.
When we look at this period of history, it is perhaps possible to understand the choices of these two warlords from a broader perspective. They were in the political, military, and social context of the time, and perhaps made a choice under personal positions and existential pressures. However, this does not fully justify their indifference. The general interests of the state always take precedence over personal self-interest, especially in times of crisis. They chose to give up, becoming a historical disgrace and an object of our deep reflection today.
In today's society, we have passed the era of war, and the country is prosperous. However, the lessons of history are still worth remembering. In our lives, there may not be the smoke of war, but the security of the country still needs to be guarded by everyone. We must not forget history because of social progress, still less can we deviate from the general interests of the country because of personal gains and losses.
Therefore, we should keep a clear understanding of the behavior of these two warlords, and not blindly worship or blame them too much. History is complex and changeable, and everyone has their own difficulties and choices in it. However, we cannot be appeased because of understanding, and we cannot be indifferent because of time. We must never back down on the general interests of the country.
In Chinese history, there may have been other similar warlords, and whether they chose to remain silent and gave up resistance when the country was in danger may be a historical topic worth digging into. Each person's choice affects the fate of the entire country, and every warlord's decision is a grain of sand in the long river of history.
On the whole, the behavior of Sheng Shicai and Liu Wenhui was a part that could not be ignored in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and it was also a test of the country's righteousness. We cannot forget because of the passage of time, let alone indulge because of personal achievements. The general righteousness of the country is eternal, and the protection of the homeland requires the joint efforts of every citizen. Let us learn from history, cherish the status quo of peace and stability, and contribute to the prosperity and development of our country. Only in this way can we truly remember that period of history and cherish today's happy life.
