Quick comment| 110 years of vicissitudes, do not forget the three "beginnings" of the Xinhai Revolution

The commemoration of the 110th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution will be solemnly held at 10 a.m. on October 9 at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People's Republic of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, will attend the conference and deliver an important speech.

110 years ago, the revolutionaries represented by Dr. Sun Yat-sen launched the Xinhai Revolution that shocked the world, overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, ended the absolute monarchy that had ruled China for thousands of years, spread the concept of democracy and republicanism, and promoted the social changes in modern China with great shock and profound influence. Today, after 110 years of ups and downs, we still remember the three "beginnings" of the Xinhai Revolution.

The Xinhai Revolution was the beginning of China's modern national democratic revolution. As the only ancient civilization in the world that has never been interrupted, Chinese civilization has a splendid history of 5,000 years and has made indelible historical contributions to human civilization. However, after the Opium War in 1840, the Western powers invaded barbarically, the feudal rule was decadent and incompetent, the country was in constant war, the people were hungry and cold, the Chinese people and the Chinese nation suffered a deep suffering rarely seen in the world, and China gradually degenerated into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. In that era of internal and external troubles, all people who were concerned about the future and destiny of the country and the nation felt bitterly that in order to achieve national independence, the liberation of the people, the prosperity of the country, and the prosperity of the people, it was necessary to carry out fundamental changes in Chinese society. This change is to overthrow the feudal autocracy and establish a democratic and republican social system. The outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution was a concentrated reflection of the opposition of the Chinese nation and the Chinese people to feudal rule at that time, and the beginning of China's modern national democratic revolution.

The Xinhai Revolution was the beginning of the emancipation of the minds and the unity and struggle of the Chinese people. How easy is it to overthrow the feudal monarchy that has lasted for more than two thousand years? There must be a emancipation and awakening of the broad masses of the people.com. This emancipation and awakening came first and foremost from the education of social reality, where feudal rulers were in cahoots with imperialism, the country was weak, and the people's livelihood was poor. On the basis of common ideas, the broad masses of the people have also waged an arduous struggle of unity. The Xinhai Revolution directly began with the nationwide Road Preservation Movement at that time. In particular, the Sichuan Baolu Movement escalated, and the Qing government had to urgently mobilize the forces of many provinces, including the Hubei New Army, to suppress it. The emptiness of the Qing government in Wuchang gave the "Wuchang revolutionaries" a good opportunity, and the Wuchang Uprising was successful. Affected by this, revolutionaries throughout the country "rose up" one after another and declared independence from the Qing government through armed uprisings. Through the united struggle of the broad masses of the people, the Qing government inevitably "went bankrupt." The Xinhai Revolution was the first great victory in modern times in our country and demonstrated the mighty strength of the people's ideological emancipation and united struggle.

The Xinhai Revolution was the beginning of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Once we were the center of the world, not only from all directions to Korea, but also sent emissaries to widely spread Chinese civilization. However, since pursuing a policy of arrogance and self-esteem and closing the country to the outside world, it has gradually separated from the world and lagged behind the world. In modern times, countless former servants of benevolent people have successively called for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. From the Boxer Rebellion to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, from the Western Affairs Movement to the Penghu Reform Law, all ended in failure. The great victory of the Xinhai Revolution can be said to be the real beginning of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The victory of the Xinhai Revolution broke through the cage of feudal thinking, greatly promoted the people's ideological emancipation, opened up a new ideological realm for exploring the road to saving the country and rejuvenating the country, and summoned the arrival of the New Culture Movement and the May Fourth Movement. The victory of the Xinhai Revolution opened the floodgates of China's modernization, and with the abolition of the feudal imperial system, all kinds of ugly systems attached to the feudal imperial system were also swept away, and the calls for national equality, civil rights freedom, and people's livelihood happiness began to resound in the land of China, and the chinese social outlook was new. The victory of the Xinhai Revolution dealt a heavy blow to the aggressive forces of imperialism and exerted a relatively extensive influence on the liberation movements of the oppressed nations of modern Asian countries, which Lenin called "the awakening of Asia."

In the 110 years of vicissitudes, history is silently telling. 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.
