Beijing, October 26 (Taiwan) -- On the morning of 25 October, an academic symposium to commemorate the 76th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration was held in Beijing. Chen Xing, associate professor of the Institute of Taiwan Studies of Beijing Union University, said in his speech that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression against japanese aggression Chinese was the longest-lasting, largest-scale, and sacrificial national liberation struggle of the Chinese people against foreign invasion in modern times, and it was also the first national liberation struggle that won complete victory. In the face of japanese fascist aggression, the Chinese people persisted in the War of Resistance for 14 years, made great sacrifices, defended national freedom and dignity, and safeguarded the territorial integrity of the country and national independence. Chinese people persisted in the protracted War of Resistance, opened up the main battlefield in the east of the world anti-fascist war, and made important historical contributions to defending the just cause of mankind.

The spirit of the War of Resistance has rich connotations

Chen Xing pointed out: The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression against Japanese Aggression Chinese was a just war in which the Chinese people resisted Japanese aggression, an important component part of the world anti-fascist war, and the first national liberation war in which China won a complete victory in resisting foreign invasion in modern times. In this war, the Chinese nation fought with the same enemy and fought with blood, creating a brilliant example of a weak country defeating a strong country. The spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is a highly spiritual summary of the Chinese people in resisting foreign aggression and realizing national independence and self-improvement, and has distinct characteristics of the times.

The spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has a strong national cultural connotation. The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the puppeteer. In the face of Japanese imperialist aggression, China at that time mobilized all its national strength and launched a struggle to save itself and survive. All walks of life throughout the country, regardless of region or strata, have taken action one after another, fulfilled their duties, and jointly resisted the war. "An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood", inspired by the concept of home and country, the 14-year history of the Chinese nation's War of Resistance is an epic heroic history, and countless heroes of the War of Resistance have sacrificed themselves in order to safeguard the dignity of the country and continue the soul of the nation, and have endured hardships and finally ushered in the victory of the War of Resistance. The fourteen-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is not only the history of the Chinese people's resistance to Japanese imperialist aggression, but also the history of the spiritual cultivation of the homeland and the maturity of the cocoon, and the vivid modern embodiment of the traditional care of the homeland.

Strong national cohesion is an important connotation of the spirit of the War of Resistance. Brothers with one heart, their profits are broken. In the face of an unprecedented national crisis, there is no way to survive without unity. In the course of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the unity of the Chinese nation was strengthened as never before. This is mainly reflected in the unprecedented strengthening of cohesion based on national identity. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, "after the September 18 Incident, the Chinese people rose up to resist in the white mountains and black waters, which became the starting point of the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and unveiled the prelude to the world anti-fascist war." After the July 7 Incident, resisting aggression and trying to save the country became the common will and action of all parties, nationalities, classes, strata, groups, and overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese in China, thus entering the stage of the nationwide War of Resistance and opening up the main battlefield in the east of the world anti-fascist war. "China's War of Resistance was the war of resistance of the whole nation, and the strong national cohesion built a strong foundation for the war of resistance.

The never-ending strong fighting spirit is another important connotation of the spirit of the War of Resistance. As a modern war, the Sino-Japanese war was so tragic and the damage caused by the war was unprecedented. However, in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Chinese people have always maintained a strong fighting spirit, and despite heavy losses, they will never compromise. Like a powerful magnet, the Chinese battlefield has absorbed Japanese imperialism into the quagmire of the people's war and won time and strategic initiative for the world anti-fascist war. At the same time Chinese people have also continued to grow and develop in this process, their experience in struggle has been continuously enriched, and the art of struggle has been gradually perfected, and they have finally won victory in the protracted war and completed the great victory against foreign aggression. The victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is the victory of the strong will to struggle and the victory of the spirit of never-ending struggle.

The will to win is an important connotation of the spirit of the War of Resistance. Resisting fascist aggression is a just war to maintain national survival and independence, and the Chinese people will surely win the final victory; this is the psychological basis for the strong will of the Chinese people to win in the War of Resistance. General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "In the arduous War of Resistance Against Japan, all the sons and daughters of China fought for the survival of the country, for national rejuvenation, and for human justice, the breadth of social mobilization, the depth of national awakening, the tenacity of the will to fight, and the firmness of the belief in victory have reached an unprecedented height." It was precisely under the inspiration of this belief in victory that the Chinese people carefully analyzed the characteristics of the War of Resistance Against Japan, adhered to the protracted strategy, constantly consumed the will of the aggressors, and finally won victory. Therefore, it can be said that the strong will to win and the just demand for the survival and occurrence of the country are important spiritual supports for the military and people of the War of Resistance, and naturally also an important connotation of the spirit of the War of Resistance.

The spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression guided the Chinese nation to forge ahead

Chen Xing said that the spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is the wealth of the Chinese people, and it has also become a long-term spiritual guide for the Chinese people to build a country. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the great victory of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has re-established China's status as a great power in the world, won the respect of the peace-loving people of the world Chinese, and won the lofty national reputation of the Chinese nation!" The great victory of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression strengthened the will of the Chinese people to pursue national independence, freedom and liberation, and opened a new historical journey of ancient Chinese phoenix nirvana and rebirth! "After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Chinese the people's socialist construction period, the spirit of the War of Resistance continued unceasingly and continued to play a spiritual guiding role.

In the exploration of the socialist construction of the Chinese people, as a big country, it is inevitable to encounter various difficulties. Various tribulations, such as imperialist containment, shortage of elements at the beginning of construction, frequent natural disasters, and so on. In the face of these difficulties, the Chinese people did not shrink back, but under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, they rose to the occasion, gave full play to the spirit of the War of Resistance, proceeded from reality, gradually solved problems, constantly overcame difficulties, and with confidence in victory, promoted social and economic development, accelerated the pace of national development, and steadily pushed forward the great cause of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In the same process, the Communist Party of China has always taken the people's yearning for a better life as its goal of struggle, constantly strengthened its own construction, and ensured that the Communist Party of China will always walk in the forefront of the times, the people wholeheartedly support it, have the courage to carry out self-revolution, and can withstand the tests of all kinds of winds and waves.

The people of the whole country have united and forged ahead, worked together, and worked together to promote the development of the country. An important reason for the victory of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was the broad unity of the nationalities and the cohesion formed on this basis. The spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression contains tremendous national cohesion, and drawing forward strength from the great spirit of the War of Resistance in the new era can effectively mobilize all the positive factors that can be mobilized, unite all the forces that can be united, and gather them into a mighty force for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In the course of socialist construction, the Chinese people continued to carry forward the spirit of unity and struggle of the War of Resistance, constantly built and strengthened the united front in the new period, and formed a great tide of soup and soup for national development and national rejuvenation.

The guiding role of the spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is also reflected in the practice of the CPC's ruling line centered on the well-being of the people. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese democracy demanded unity to save the people and survive, while in the construction period, it was to unite to build the country and pursue the people's happy life. General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "In the 75 years since the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japan, China has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Communist Party of China has united and led the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to work hard to become stronger and to work hard to start a business, created development achievements that have attracted worldwide attention, successfully opened up the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, entered a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, won the battle against poverty and built a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and ushered in a bright future for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. "In the course of decades of construction, the spirit of the War of Resistance has been consistent, constantly inspiring the Chinese people to move towards the goal of a better life."

The history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression shows us that the prosperity of the country contains the dual connotations of national prosperity and the strength of the people, the two are inseparable, the relationship is extremely great, in the international community, the weak have no right to speak, there will be no initiative, the pursuit of national development and people's happiness is the only way to achieve national rejuvenation. It can be seen from this that the spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is not only the spiritual pillar that pushed the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression towards comprehensive victory during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but also a tremendous spiritual driving force that encourages the people of Chinese to strive for the grand cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics today and in the future.

Carry forward the spirit of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and promote national reunification

Chen Xing held that national liberation, national rejuvenation, people's livelihood happiness, and patriotism are the natural connotations of the spirit of the War of Resistance, and this spirit has supported countless revolutionary martyrs to go to the country in a state of indignation; in the turbulent war years, countless heroic figures have emerged, and many spiritual models who can be sung and wept have also been created in the era of peace. The spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression embodies the patriotism of the Chinese people and the fearless spirit of uniting to achieve national liberation and national rejuvenation, and is an endless source of motivation for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In the process of national reunification, the spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression provided the spiritual support for national reunification, and its exposed nationalism, patriotism, and feelings of home and country formed the spiritual link between the two sides of the strait.

Chinese history has repeatedly proved that when the country is united, it is strong, and when it is divided, it is weak, and the well-being of the people is closely related to the rise and fall of the country. The cross-strait issue arose because the country was poor and weak, and it will certainly be gradually eliminated along with the country's development and national rejuvenation. The well-being of the people on both sides of the strait depends on national reunification and will gradually improve along with the promotion of the cause of national reunification. In cross-strait relations, opposing "Taiwan independence" and promoting national reunification and national rejuvenation are positive and negative relations. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that we resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and will never tolerate the recurrence of the historical tragedy of national division. All activities to split the motherland are bound to be resolutely opposed by all Chinese. We have firm will, full confidence, and sufficient ability to thwart any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist plot. We will never allow anyone, any organization, any political party, at any time, in any form, to separate any piece of Chinese territory from China! For a long time, the people on both sides of the strait have done a great deal of work to oppose "Taiwan independence" and promote national reunification, and they have seen the close relationship between national reunification and the improvement of the people's well-being. It is also the joint efforts of the people on both sides of the strait that have ensured the smooth development of the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.

General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "Taiwan's future lies in national reunification, and the well-being of Taiwan compatriots depends on national rejuvenation." "In the process of realizing national reunification and national rejuvenation, peaceful development is the best way to promote the common development of the two sides of the strait and benefit the compatriots on both sides of the strait, and it is also a necessary stage for realizing social integration on both sides of the strait." General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "The Chinese Dream is the common dream of compatriots on both sides of the strait, national rejuvenation, national strength, cross-strait Chinese can live a rich and beautiful life." In the process of the Chinese nation moving toward great rejuvenation, the Taiwan compatriots will certainly not be absent. Compatriots on both sides of the strait should join hands with one heart to realize the Chinese dream, share the responsibility for national rejuvenation, and share the glory of national rejuvenation. "From the perspective of national reunification, the peaceful development of the two sides of the strait has effectively embodied the humanistic sentiment of paying attention to cross-strait development and focusing on the improvement of the people's well-being, and the mainland has been doing its best to achieve the integration of national reunification and national development, and its core goal is to achieve common prosperity on both sides of the strait in the process of national reunification."

The key to integrating national reunification with national rejuvenation lies in the joint efforts of the people on both sides of the strait. Today, we are closer, more confident and capable of achieving the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history. It is hoped that the Taiwan compatriots, together with the compatriots on the mainland, will seize the opportunity, support each other, cooperate closely in the process of promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and realizing the peaceful reunification of the country, and work together to live a peaceful, tranquil, happy, and beautiful life and to share the dignity and glory of the Chinese nation in the world. The process of the two sides of the strait working hand in hand is a process of common development between the two sides of the strait, a process of common prosperity between the two sides of the strait, a process of eliminating estrangement and achieving integration between the two sides of the strait, and a process of creating a new history of the Chinese nation. National reunification and national rejuvenation have formed a good trend of simultaneous and integrated development, and the ultimate goal is to achieve a win-win situation between the two sides of the strait.

Chen Xing said: The "Taiwan independence" forces are the biggest source of chaos between the two sides of the strait and the biggest obstacle to national reunification. Opposing, containing, and finally eliminating the influence of "Taiwan independence" is an important part of the cause of national reunification. The people on both sides of the strait have made great efforts to oppose "Taiwan independence" and have achieved certain results. It can be said that although the "Taiwan independence" forces have constantly created trouble for cross-strait exchanges and national reunification, judging from the long river of history, this can only be a small wave of twists and turns; in the face of the great cause of national reunification and national rejuvenation, and in the face of the determination of the Chinese people to pursue national reunification and national rejuvenation, the "Taiwan independence" forces' beam-jumping clown-style performance can only be a farce, and it is only a matter of increasing the talks after tea and dinner.

The symposium was sponsored by the Memorial Hall of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Taiwan Anti-Japanese War Relatives Association, and co-organized by the Chinese Society for the History of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Beijing Society for the Study of the History of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the Beijing Peace Education Foundation. The purpose is to commemorate the 76th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration and to continuously promote cross-strait exchanges and development. (End)
