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 since the leadership of China * * *, earth-shaking changes have taken place in China?
Change and get a foothold in the world quickly? 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?
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.
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!
