Soong Ching Ling's Alliance to Defend China, founded on 1938, is a relief group guided by a new relief idea (aid is mutual, aid is not charity, and aid is accepted for self-help and self-help). Its purpose is to serve the people of China and the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China. Under the leadership of Soong Ching Ling, he built a bridge of friendship to support the people of China in resisting Japan and saving the country, and made a unique contribution to the soldiers and civilians in the anti-Japanese base areas to tide over difficulties, defeat the enemy and help children affected by the war. The soldiers and civilians in the base area are very grateful for their strong support for the "Bao Meng" led by Soong Ching Ling, and they have thanked Soong Ching Ling in various ways. 1In August, 945, during the negotiations in Chongqing, Mao Zedong made a special trip to Soong Ching Ling's apartment and said with deep affection, "Mrs. Sun, the people in the border area asked me to convey their greetings and thanks to you! At the most difficult time in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. You have provided much-needed medicines and materials for the border region, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. I can't tell you how much all this has helped us. " When reviewing china welfare institute's work, Soong Ching Ling proudly said: "In China's welfare work, there is no' charity' atmosphere and no' charity' psychology of capitalist relief activities." Therefore, Zhou Enlai called China's relief and welfare cause "Mrs Sun's cause". This is a scientific evaluation of history and facts.

3. Care about the growth of the new generation of the motherland

From the strategic height of facing the world, the future and modernization, Soong Ching Ling treats children, children's education and children's work with the eyes of a social activist and politician, and creates a bright future for China and mankind. Her greatest concern in life is the welfare and education of children. She proudly said, "My life is linked with children's work." Although she has no children of her own, she has devoted great maternal love to children and teenagers all over the country.

During the war, Soong Ching Ling appealed to all walks of life at home and abroad to "save the future" from the perspective that the survival of children is related to the survival of the nation. After the founding of New China, the focus of children's work shifted from relief to education and nurturing the growth of children and adolescents, and she also put forward the famous idea of "creating the future". Soong Ching Ling looks at children from the perspective of history and future. She said: "Children are the most precious things of mankind", "Children are the wealth of today's world and the masters of tomorrow", and from the perspective of the future and future of the motherland, "Children's work is the work of creating the future, because the future belongs to a new generation". Soong Ching Ling emphasized that the work of "creating the future" should be carried out from both material and spiritual aspects. In terms of material quality, do a good job in child health care. She said: "To have a strong nation, we should start with the welfare of mothers and children." It is necessary to provide various favorable conditions for the healthy growth of young children and "give the most precious things to children". Spiritually, strengthening ideological education for children is much more important than material conditions. Let them know about life and society, help them establish a correct outlook on life, and "link their personal future with the progress of all mankind." We should let them have a correct world outlook and establish standards for distinguishing right from wrong, justice from injustice, truth from falsehood. "Only by actively doing the work of" creating the future "can the new generation of the motherland become a new force in socialist modernization. At the last moment of her life, when she was unable to attend the International Children's Day on June 1 Day due to illness, she still wrote to congratulate the children: "My heart for caring and caring for children and teenagers beats with you. "The last article that Soong Ching Ling left us was" May the young trees grow up healthily ",which is a concern for the children. She hopes that the children will "grow up with the young trees, grow tall and strong, … grow into pillars, grow into strong successors of socialist modernization, and make great contributions to creating higher material civilization and spiritual civilization than their predecessors".

This kind of development has been realized in different countries in different ways and to different degrees, but it is everywhere in Asia and Africa.

" From the Second World War to the 1960s, there was the climax of the second national liberation movement in this century, and she warmly cheered its arrival. She believes that the national liberation movement is in line with the law, and even a powerful country like American imperialism "cannot reverse the historical trend unfolding in Asia and Africa.
