Dawn (prose)

When I can feel an aging atmosphere, I am still full of vitality, and the grief of life in the sigh of despair ushers in the hope of struggle, making me feel younger and younger!

And what happened to China at that time? Once, it shook us. In the history of world civilization, the civilization of the Nile has written the beginning of the history of world civilization, the tribes of the Aegean Sea have had masterpieces in the history of war, but they were seriously injured in the struggle between Sparta and Athens, ancient Rome, Macedonia, Augustus, Caesar, they are the unifiers of history, but they have become the destroyers of civilization, Egyptian civilization, Aegean civilization is like a lonely city, broken walls, a hundred years of loneliness, the past Babylonian city, under alexander's iron hooves, Darius, Les Filhos, The originally powerful ancient India, at the height of its prosperity in the eighteenth century, was in full swing, and the departure of Aurangzeb plunged India into disarray, when a group of Westerners broke in and conquered them all. This is the world's ancient civilization, they have been broken in the process of world civilization interpretation, we can no longer find the shadow of the ancient Indian Tianzhu era, the lifeblood of Babylonian blood, the traces of Greece, Egypt in the past, only our Chinese civilization history of five thousand years, from ancient times to the present has never been broken, this is a miracle in the history of world civilization, it makes our China in the long river of world history in a leading position. Hemudu, Banpo clan endlessly multiplying, gathering haoran righteousness in the precipitation, when the West is still in the tribal group, China has entered the prosperous period of the pre-Qin period of sons and hundreds of families, this is the first Chinese civilization to be proud of the stage, until the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the West only appeared a Renaissance, the great unification of the Qin Dynasty, so that China in the economy, territory, culture, transportation, science and technology, military fields to become the world's first, the Great Wall, Afang Palace, can be called the miracle in the history of world architecture, the Western Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, Daming Palace, Genghis Khan, Qingming on the River, Zheng He seven times to the ocean, Kangqian Shengshi, Yuanmingyuan... These are the testimonies of Chinese civilization, which makes the world sigh the greatness of the giants of the East, and what is even more shameful is that when all this happened, the West was still in the era of slavery, and our civilization allowed itself to breed in a fertile land, until the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in the West, there were navigators led by Magellan, Da Gama, and Columbus. In the past we have also opened, in Xuanzang's journey to the west of the Tang, we have become tolerant, eclectic, Marco Polo brought the legend of the Western Venetian merchants, but also sprinkled the Chinese culture to the four seas, tiangong opened things, sent the four major inventions, just when we face our own glorious past, we became proud, Kangqian prosperous, we closed the door of the country, cut off communication with the outside world, but at this time, the first industrial revolution in Britain, the autocratic Charles I, the end of the Cromwell era, The Glorious Revolution brought Britain rapidly towards the path of capitalist development, and as the Spanish Armada and Britain slowly sank in the Atlantic, it began to shift its gaze to The East of the World, China. From the retreat after Kangxi defeated Tsarist Russia in 1773 and won the Yaksa Victory, to the Opium War in 1840, in just 67 years, a once brilliant China that had been closed for sixty or seventy years actually became stunned in front of the British naval guns, and in this battle, we lost, lost in front of an opponent who was far inferior to ourselves, because we erased the motivation to study, let us be weak in times of danger, from the strong to the weak.

Our civilization has also suffered setbacks, from the Qin Shi Huang Shu Pit Confucianism, Xiang Yu burning Afang Palace, the Anshi Rebellion Daming Palace, the Northern Song Dynasty Beijing was captured by the Guanyan tribe, but chinese civilization is admired and passed on in frustration every time, because it is the epitome of wisdom, excellent, even barbarians, are also deeply infected. But since the door of the country was opened, Westerners have lost their conscience and exposed their nature in the face of rare treasures, and a fascinating architectural treasure that has been accumulated by three generations of Kangqian to shock the world - the Yuanmingyuan, for more than a hundred years, bringing together Chinese and foreign skilled craftsmen and craftsmen, concentrating masterpieces of artistic styles from all over the world, but turned into ashes in the raging fire of three days and three nights. Since then, the once brilliant And Infinite Chinese nation has begun to move towards the road of confusion and exploration.

When our country is absent from the process of world capitalism and looks back at the past civilization with a little strangeness, we are greeted by a period of humiliation, because we are backward, and when the Western countries have long been equipped with cannons and pistols, and we are still wielding the red guns in our hands, we are doomed to pay a heavy price for our past inattention. The two Opium Wars fought us badly, the always conservative government was forced to open the coast to the outside world, and we lost the initiative. A wave of democratic and open ideas slowly rose on the land of China, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom played an anti-imperialist banner, but when this force was spreading to the whole country, it was jointly strangled by Chinese and foreign reactionary forces, and then, a call for self-improvement and seeking wealth responded to the call of the times, they ran schools, built navies, but all this happened too suddenly, when many dreams were still brewing, they encountered the Japanese powers that had just risen from the Meiji Restoration, and the whole army was destroyed in the Battle of Jiawu, and the foreign affairs movement did not let China rise after all. The voice of the reformists prompted the Guangxu Emperor to save the country, but the Hundred Days of Restoration was only a dream, and the end of the Six Gentlemen of Wushu made a benevolent but powerless emperor hate to win the stage, and what they were waiting for was another nightmare, the Invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance. What happened to our nation? At the end of the crossbow, it provoked the resistance of the Chinese nation, the Boxers no longer trusted the government, its special mission and essence of anti-imperialism and anti-sealing received extensive responses, but once again ended in the joint strangulation of Chinese and foreign reactionary forces, the innate limitations of the peasant movement made it unable to serve as the mission of China's salvation and survival, and the weakness of the reformists also determined their fate of eventual hanging. At this moment, China is so confused, they have become numb, losing the spark of hope, with bitter spots of light in their eyes. At this time, Sun Yat-sen founded the Provisional Government of the Republic of China, but he cared about the nation, abdicated the throne, and fulfilled Yuan Shikai's 83-day dream of being the emperor of the Hongxian Empire, forcing himself overseas, going through twists and turns, and cutting off his hair. The National Revolutionary Army was in a chaotic era of warlord division from the very beginning, their interests were destined to be a deadly struggle in a pattern of fish dead nets, the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy, the National Revolutionary Army wanted to unify Zhongcuo, wanted to organize the Northern Expedition, but the Japanese did not want to see this, the Huanggutun incident made Zhang Xueliang bear the hatred of the country and the family, and the northeast changed its banner. With the fall of North China and the crisis in Northeast China, the Chinese nation is already in dire straits. The nation is facing an unprecedented catastrophe, and there is no way back. This is the path our country took on the eve of the Second World War.

Perhaps because we have a glorious past, let us forget the crisis when enjoying the feast, the long two thousand years of feudal era is like Zhou Tianzi divided the land, everyone's thinking is fixed on that inherent pattern, we have no way of knowing the result, only experience. Those trade-offs were bought with the blood of martyrs and are precious. Our past is a tragedy that has never been encountered in human history, ravaged, humiliated, we are regarded as the sick man of East Asia, these are deep and clear in the memory of our history, and how many people are aware of the social environment at that time? Just like Lu Xun's character image, when a group of Chinese watching foreign soldiers bullying our compatriots, we can't help but feel sad in our hearts, such an environment makes me in that story can't help but realize, isn't this my hometown where I have been away for more than twenty years? The lively teenager who used to wear a silver collar and hold a steel pliers in his hand is now old and abscessed, making me, who once looked forward to returning to my hometown, become particularly strange now, which is a kind of spiritual bondage. In the face of the old etiquette, let the energy of how lively and wise one once was infected and edified by such an environment. Perhaps, this is the stage of the slumber of a generation of giants, it used to be too calm, too brilliant, so it needs a basin of cold water to extinguish its once flying personality, a hundred years of humiliation history may be long, but for five thousand years of Chinese civilization is not enough to worry about. Rekindle the strength that has been hidden deep in the heart of the past, and do not have to worry about the right and wrong that have been lost. It is these gains and losses that let us know the shortcomings of the past, because these deficiencies make me think of changing, adapting, and transforming. This is the trade-off that a person should have every time he encounters a crisis, so the country, the enterprise, and the individual, and it will never change!

To yourself and the country are in the same difficulty
