1On July 7, 937, Japan planned the Lugouqiao Incident and launched a long-planned war of aggression against China. They once clamored to occupy Shanghai within one month and China within three months. However, in fact, after eight years of war, the arrogant Japanese invaders finally suffered a shameful defeat. The people of China paid a heavy price, but they finally won.
War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory is of great significance to the Chinese nation. Since the 1840 Opium War, China has been passively beaten in the difficult process of modernization, and it has been defeated repeatedly. As far as China and Japan are concerned, Japan has waged many wars against China, including the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-895, which not only tried to block the modernization process of China, but also tried to annex China. The century-long history of defeat ended with China's victory and Japanese defeat on August 1945. Taking advantage of the victory of the Second Anti-Fascist War, the people of China broke free from the shackles of a series of unequal treaties, cleared away the humiliation of colonialism for a century and a half, and became one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. The victory of the people of China was achieved with the support of the world's just forces, and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression became a turning point in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Commemorate this hard-won victory, remember and practice the winning rule of this victory, and victory will always belong to the people of China:
The unity of the Chinese nation is the foundation of victory. At the beginning, the reason why Japan dared to invade China as a small island country was mainly because of the weakness of the central government, the fragmentation of local forces and the lack of cohesion during the difficult modernization process in China. However, in the face of the desperate situation of death, the Chinese nation did not yield, but woke up and formed a broad anti-Japanese United front, fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army with the strength of the whole nation until victory. After this victory, the people of China will never allow any internal or external forces to undermine the unity of the Chinese nation, and will never allow anyone to split Taiwan Province Province from China.
Only by constantly striving for self-improvement can we not be passively beaten, and only by peaceful development can we maintain peace. At that time, the reason why Japan dared to go to war with China was also directly related to Japan's far stronger economic and military strength than China. 1937, Japanese industrial output value was $6 1 billion, and China was $0/0/600 million; The annual output of Japanese steel is 5.8 million tons, while that of China is only 40,000 tons. If you fall behind, you will be beaten, your self-esteem will be enhanced first, and development needs stability.
Being good at taking history as a mirror can prevent the blood of predecessors from flowing in vain. We commemorate this victory today by facing history with a sober and rational attitude. We should not only face humiliation, but also cherish the sacrifices made by our predecessors and the hard-won victory, with the aim of facing the future and building the future. There are also many people of insight in Japan who face this history rationally. However, some right-wing forces in Japan have repeatedly turned black and white and denied the crime of aggression. Therefore, to take the road of peaceful development, we must correctly understand and treat history. The history of Japanese militarism's invasion of China cannot be forgotten, let alone tampered with. The Japanese government should face up to history, learn lessons and win the trust of people in China and other Asian countries with practical actions.
Looking back at the historical facts of China people's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the modern history of China, and examining the current world reality, we have a deeper understanding that only with national unity, people's unity, social stability, economic development and national strength enhancement can the people of China have dignity, and the Chinese nation can stand among the nations of the world and contribute to world peace and common development. In the great journey of building a well-off society in an all-round way in the new century, carrying forward the national spirit and rallying national strength is a reliable guarantee for achieving our development goals, and it is also the fundamental significance for us to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
