Learning historical knowledge, especially the knowledge of China's modern history, can make the past serve the present, take history as a mirror, improve one's literary accomplishment, make clear the route, accumulate experience and point out the direction for future development. In our 5,000-year history, there are glories and humiliations. We are extremely proud of glory and extremely lost for shame. This semester, we began to learn the modern calendar of China. The teacher said it was a history of humiliation and tears. After studying the modern history of China, my biggest feeling is: "Poverty and backwardness will naturally be beaten!" China is poor and backward because it is blind and arrogant. Yelang is arrogant, closed to the outside world, does not communicate with the outside world, and even more disdains to learn what they call "barbarian" culture and science. Finally, other people's cannons were forced to the door. He asked in fear, what is this? Why didn't China? After studying the modern history of China, it gave me a lot of inspiration and feelings. I feel very angry and sad. China's history is an incurable pain in the hearts of China people.

China used to be so brilliant. The earliest primitive man was in our country, and our country was also the first to enter the slave society. When we entered the feudal society, many countries remained in the slave society. In the Han Dynasty, a Silk Road let the world know about China. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, China reached its peak, with superb seal cutting level, the invention of block printing, brilliant poetry circles, dazzling calligraphy and painting, the Mogao Grottoes, a treasure house of world art, and grand and jubilant music and dance. How proud we are to know this. Zheng He's seven voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty created another glorious period. China is a bright pearl!

However, all this has become the past. At the end of Qing Dynasty, due to the fatuity of the emperor, China closed the door to the outside world, which made him gradually fall behind in the world. The Opium War was the beginning of China's modern history. 1840, Britain, the most powerful capitalist country in the world at that time, officially opened the door of the Qing Dynasty with foreign guns. Only then did we realize how backward we were. Others have used foreign guns and guns, and our weapons are still parked on cold weapons and soil guns. Treaty of nanking, the first unequal treaty, was signed in humiliation, which brought great disaster to our country. It not only destroyed territorial sovereignty, but also brought financial crisis and people's burden. However, this is only the beginning of a nightmare. The Second Opium War destroyed the luxurious and spectacular imperial garden-Yuanmingyuan. Moreover, more and more countries began to invade our country, and there were more and more unequal treaties. At that time, our country was like an unarmed man. The treaty of shimonoseki signed after the failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 greatly deepened the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in China. Subsequently, Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China signed the "Xin Chou Treaty", which completely reduced China to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

This humiliating history is endless, and today's China is gradually becoming rich and powerful. Feeling the modern history of China is a history that makes everyone in China feel ashamed. However, we should always remember this history. Only when we remember how backward we were, will we work harder, feel the modern history of China, and let us understand a truth: backwardness will lead to beatings. Why did China, which was once very powerful in history, suffer from bullying and ravages in modern times, and finally became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, with a very backward economy and culture, and the broad masses of people living in dire straits? Why has China undergone earth-shaking changes since it led China * * *, and quickly stood in the world? Why is it that under the leadership of the Party, our motherland will become stronger and stronger, and the people will truly turn over and become masters of their own affairs? Only by taking history as a mirror can we have a clear direction and guard against arrogance and rashness.

At the same time, I feel very touched, because of the indomitable struggle of the people of China, and for the revival of China, our great people waged an indomitable struggle against imperialism and the incompetent Qing government, and finally won. The modern history of China, which began with the Opium War of 1840, is a history of imperialist aggression against China, a history of the reactionary government surrendering and traitorous, and a history of China people resisting imperialism and its lackeys and pursuing modernization!

Before the Opium War in China, the Qing Dynasty adopted a closed-door policy, and the self-sufficient natural economy occupied an absolute advantage in the whole social economy. The feudal rule of the Qing dynasty was increasingly decadent and unable to resist foreign aggression, which provided opportunities for capitalist invasion.

Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, and the Qing Dynasty dignitaries headed by Cixi fled to xi 'an. After the war, Cixi announced that she would "measure China's material resources and win the favor of the country", which fully exposed her ugly face as a slave with no sense of shame. After the Revolution of 1911, with the support of different imperialists, Beiyang warlords scuffled, and the governments of Beiyang warlords alternated like lanterns, and the people were miserable.

At the beginning of the invasion of China by foreign capitalism, the masses of the people took the completely opposite road to the reactionary rulers. When the feudal rulers were weak and compromised, the people shouldered the sacred task of defending the interests of the country and the nation.

The people of all ethnic groups in China fought bravely and tenaciously, saving the survival of the nation, avoiding the fate of becoming a colony and sacrificing tens of millions of martyrs. History has fully proved that no difficulty can elude the people of China! China people are the greatest people! The Chinese nation is an invincible nation and the greatest nation!

Learning historical knowledge, especially the knowledge of China's modern history, can not only "make the past serve the present" and "take history as a mirror" to improve one's theoretical level, but also comprehensively grasp the national conditions, correctly understand and consciously implement the party's basic theory, basic line, basic program and various principles and policies, and strive to build China into a prosperous, strong, democratic and civilized socialist country.

Studying and studying modern history will not only make everyone in China cherish today's hard-won happy life, but also inspire our patriotic enthusiasm, inspire the strong cohesion of the people of China, and selflessly dedicate all their intelligence and wisdom in the great cause of building a modern and powerful socialist country.

At the same time, we must be soberly aware that today's world is not peaceful, hegemonism and power politics are rampant, and diehards who are trying to "westernize" and "divide" China still exist. Therefore, we should seriously study the modern history of China, carry forward the spirit of patriotism, make our motherland stronger, and let the Chinese nation stand forever among the nations of the world!

China is unbeaten! The motherland will win!
