As the years passed, the labor of the people of China never stopped; With the passage of time, the great power created by the Chinese nation is endless. Muddy and bumpy all the way, excited and singing all the way. With sweat and painstaking efforts, he painted an endless magnificent picture on the territory of the Republic.
We can't forget that on the night of September 0, 193 18, the Japanese Kwantung Army blew up the tracks of Liutiaohu section of the South Manchuria Railway, falsely accused China's army of sabotage, shelled the Northeast Army's station, captured Shenyang, and then began its aggression against China. In less than half a year, all three northeastern provinces fell into the hands of the Japanese army.
We can't forget that1July 7, 937, the Japanese army conducted provocative military exercises near Lugou Bridge, forcibly searched the ancient city of Wanping on the pretext that a soldier was missing. After being rejected by the China army, it shelled the ancient city of Wanping and Lugou Bridge, which opened the prelude to the national war of resistance in China.
We can't forget that in February 1937, the Japanese army captured Nanjing and carried out the terrible Nanjing Massacre. More than 300,000 China compatriots died by the enemy's iron hoof and sword.
We can't forget that since 194 1, Japan has concentrated more than half of its troops to invade China, swept the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, implemented the barbaric "three-light policy", and even used poison gas and germ warfare to create no-man's land in an attempt to destroy the anti-Japanese base areas. ...
We can't forget that in the eight years of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the people of China have made great sacrifices, with more than 35 million military and civilian casualties, more than 42 million homeless refugees and direct or indirect economic losses of 560 billion US dollars.
The smoke of 60 years has dispersed, but the national spirit of not fearing rape, risking one's life and forgetting one's death, and fighting with one heart and one mind to the end will remain in our hearts forever.
We can't forget the historical lesson that lagging behind will be beaten and humiliated.
We can't forget that today's happiness is bought by countless martyrs with their lives.
We can't forget that at this stage, Japanese militaristic forces are still spreading, and its aggressive ambition towards China has not stopped.
Today, we stand on the threshold of the new century, look back at history, and then examine the war of resistance in a new space-time coordinate. Looking back on the 60th birthday of the motherland is of unusual warning significance.
1949, People's Republic of China (PRC) was established! The people of China, suffering from war and backwardness, have finally stood up again! China, like a dragon, once again stands in the east of the world as a big country!
At that time, the people's livelihood in China was depressed, the economy was seriously backward, and the national cause was in ruins. Facing the devastated China, the government and people did not flinch, but went forward bravely. It took only three years to restore the national economy and a number of touching stories emerged.
After three years of economic recovery, the national economy has been fundamentally improved, and industrial production has exceeded the highest level in history. However, at that time, China was still a backward agricultural country, and the per capita possession of many industrial products was much lower than that of developed countries.
In order to carry out socialist construction in a planned way, our government began to formulate a five-year plan to develop the national economy. The first five-year plan was implemented from 65438 to 0953, which became the starting point of China's industrialization. At the beginning of the first five-year plan, the level of industrialization in China was extremely low. People call it a "foreign horse" for traveling, a "match" for lighting and a "foreign fire" for nailing things. I didn't experience that hard time, but from the information films I have seen, I can fully understand that the people of China were still living in extreme poverty.
Nowadays, reform and opening up have injected new vitality into the construction of the motherland, and our great motherland has appeared in front of the world with an unprecedented brand-new look. Because of the strength of the motherland, Hong Kong and Macao have returned to the embrace of the motherland. Due to the strong motherland, the world's largest hydropower project, the Three Gorges Project on the Yangtze River, has been built. Due to the strength of the motherland, the 29th Olympic Games was held in Beijing in 2008. Due to the strong motherland, the gold medal of China Olympic athletes in Athens Olympic Games broke through to the second place in the world. Due to the strength of the motherland, the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft was successfully launched, making China the third country in the world capable of sending astronauts into space. The successful launch and return of Shenzhou VI shows the progress of the motherland's science and technology and improves China's international status ... Isn't this series of success a proof of the strength and prosperity of the motherland today? Motherland, I am proud of you. The new era encourages new dedication, and new goals call for new creation. Looking forward to the future, we are full of pride: the road in Socialism with Chinese characteristics has opened up a broad prospect for us to create a happy home through labor, and the beautiful blueprint of learning to teach, earning income from labor, getting medical care for illness, providing for the elderly and living in a house is becoming a reality.
Time flies like water. This reminds me too much ... I think of the average annual growth of China's per capita GDP 10% in the whole 30 years of reform and opening up, China's national strength, China's becoming the sixth country in the world's comprehensive national strength, the rapid and continuous improvement of China's international status, the history of new China and the glorious footprint of new China in the past 60 years!
