Attending the conference commemorating the 110th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing and listening to the important speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping made Sun Yat-sen's great-grandson Wang Zhihong feel very excited. He said that General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech is lofty in intention and profound in thought. Over the past 100 years, the Chinese Communists have been the staunchest supporters, the most loyal collaborators and the most loyal successors of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary cause.
"With the continuous improvement of our country's comprehensive national strength and international status, I truly feel that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's deep long-cherished wish to revitalize the Chinese nation, the beautiful vision of the pioneers of the Xinhai Revolution for the development of the Chinese nation, and the great dream that the Chinese people have dreamed of and struggled for in modern times have become or are becoming reality." Wang Zhihong said.
Sun Yat-sen's great-granddaughter Sun Yali founded the Sun Yat-sen Cultural Foundation in 2016, and after returning from overseas, she has been committed to the overseas promotion of Chinese films in recent years, spreading Chinese excellent culture and helping to enhance the cultural soft power of the Chinese nation.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen once said: "To restore the status of a nation, we must first restore the spirit of the nation." "I am deeply encouraged by general secretary Xi Jinping mentioning this sentence at the commemorative meeting." Sun Yali said: We should help enhance the soft power of culture by strengthening cultural construction and education; we should study and carry forward the lofty spirit of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionary pioneers who are unswervingly determined to revitalize China, and encourage and unite all Chinese sons and daughters at home and abroad to work together to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
"Over the past 110 years of the Xinhai Revolution, the lofty spirit of Revolutionary Pioneers such as Dr. Sun Yat-sen in unswervingly revitalizing China has been inherited." Mr. Zhang Lan's great-grandson and chairman of the Lanzhi Education Foundation, Zhang Xuesong, said that this time he came to Dr. Sun Yat-sen's hometown of Guangdong and saw that the development here was thriving, and under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the beautiful vision of the pioneers of the Xinhai Revolution for the development of the Chinese nation is becoming a reality, "We should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the new era, strive to revitalize China and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and live up to The hopes of Dr. Sun Yat-sen." ”
Contribute to the realization of the complete reunification of the motherland
"As a representative of overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese, I participated in the commemoration of the 110th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, listened to the important speech delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping throughout the whole process, and felt excited." Liang Guanjun, vice president of the Association of Maritime Relations and chairman of the Federation of Chinese Associations in the East of the United States, said: The historic changes that have taken place in the land of China in the past 110 years of the Xinhai Revolution have enlightened us to inherit and carry forward the great spirit of revolutionary pioneers. I sincerely hope that the motherland can continue to grow stronger, and all the sons and daughters of china at home and abroad can closely unite and work together to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Liang Guanjun said: "The 'Taiwan independence' split is the biggest obstacle to the reunification of the motherland, and 'reunification' is the common aspiration of the Chinese nation. I will mobilize more overseas Chinese compatriots, devote greater strength, and make concerted efforts to promote the glorious cause of the complete reunification of the motherland and the great rejuvenation of the nation. ”
Huanghuagang Seventy-Two Martyrs Cemetery is an important memorial site of the Xinhai Revolution, and the heroic struggle and heroic sacrifices in the revolution continue to inspire the newcomers. After coming to pay his respects, Zhang Zongzhen, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference from Macao and vice president of the China Non-Governmental Chamber of Commerce, could not calm down for a long time. "It seems to have taken us back more than 100 years, allowing us to have a spiritual dialogue with these revolutionary pioneers. It was as if they were still watching the broad masses of Chinese people, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, striving to realize the prosperity and strength of the country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and striving to realize Dr. Sun Yat-sen's deep long-cherished wish to revitalize the Chinese nation. ”
After visiting the Huanghuagang Seventy-Two Martyrs Cemetery, the heroic deeds of the revolutionary martyrs who threw their heads and spilled their blood deeply impressed Li Jiming, the grandson of General Li Liejun, the elder of the Xinhai Revolution. "For the sake of lofty ideals, they sacrificed their lives to devote themselves to this great revolution when they were in full bloom." Li Jiming said: Today, under the leadership of the CPC, the Chinese nation has made a great leap from standing up and getting rich to becoming strong. As the descendants of the pioneers of the Xinhai Revolution, we have the responsibility and obligation to pass on the great spirit of the pioneers of the Xinhai Revolution and urge the vast number of young people and even the whole society to make unswerving and personal efforts to realize the glorious and great cause of the complete reunification of the motherland and the great rejuvenation of the nation.
