Revolutionary heroes who are desperate for death, battlefield soldiers who have worked hard alone, people with lofty ideals who have destroyed their homes to relieve difficulties, arduous revolutionary struggles, and simple and affectionate bonfire letters — —
In Lugouqiao, China People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Memorial Hall, the theme exhibition "Historical Contribution of Great Victory" shows the 14-year historical picture of China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. A piece of historical photos, a piece of historical relics, and a piece of heroic deeds bring people’s thoughts back to the eventful years of "the wolf smoke is everywhere, and the blood is strong."
War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has become history, but the spirit of the Anti-Japanese War has not gone far. This spirit has gone through time and space and is still the driving force for the whole nation to forge ahead.
"In the magnificent process of China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, a great anti-Japanese war spirit has been formed. The people of China have shown the world the patriotic feelings of the rise and fall of the world and the responsibility of every man, the national integrity of dying, the heroism of not fearing violence and bloody battles, and the indomitable and persevering belief in winning." On September 3rd, 2014, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly explained the spirit of the Anti-Japanese War at the symposium to commemorate the 69th anniversary of China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the victory of the world anti-fascist war.

1. Patriotic feelings unite national strength
Recalling the past, the years are thick.
In the history of China since modern times, the great powers have plundered and mourned all night. In the "September 18th Incident" in 1931, Japanese imperialism launched a long-planned war of aggression against China, which pushed the deep crisis of the Chinese nation to its climax.
North China Lu Chen, Central Plains Bandang, Sanwu Fenghuo, Jiuxia Qiu … … The rampancy and cruelty of the Japanese invaders pushed China to the desperate situation of "national subjugation and extinction", and at the same time, it also inspired the determination of compatriots all over the country to fight against foreign aggression.
At the critical moment of national peril, the outstanding sons and daughters of the Chinese nation stepped forward and "swore to death that they would not be conquered people". In the process of resisting aggression, they sublimated the national spirit with patriotism as the core, United the scattered people in old China, created a pattern of national anti-Japanese war, and set up a spiritual monument for the Chinese nation to shine in history.
Home is the smallest country, and there are thousands of countries. Under the baptism of blood and fire, the test of life and death, Chinese realized the true meaning of the feelings of home and country. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression awakened China, the "sleeping lion", and hardened the patriotic feelings of Chinese sons and daughters. The heart of the whole nation began to condense, agitate and rise, and hundreds of millions of compatriots marched forward bravely.
Qian Xuesen, Li Siguang, Deng Jiaxian, Zhao Zhongyao, Tu Guangchi, Zhuang Fenggan, Bao Wenkui … … This series of names can be drawn very long. They are top scholars in various fields. At the beginning of the founding of New China, these overseas sons embarked on a difficult and dangerous road to return home. They poured their enthusiasm into this dreamy land, filled gaps in aviation, aerospace, ships, electronics and other fields, played an extremely important role in major projects such as "two bombs and one satellite" and built the cornerstone of the Republic building.
Looking back on the past, the emotion is it. From standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong, the people of China, after an unprecedented awakening, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), have created great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention.
Look at today, ten thousand horses are still fighting.
Shenzhou going to heaven, dragon going to sea, Tiangong docking, Beidou networking … … Generations of outstanding Chinese sons and daughters have integrated their personal struggles into the national strategy, braved the wind and waves, created the world, and wrote a magnificent chapter in the new era. Since the founding of New China, China’s GDP has increased by over 170 times. At present, China has become the world’s second largest economy, the largest country in goods trade and the largest country in foreign exchange reserves.
On July 23rd, Wenchang, Hainan, China’s first Mars exploration mission "Tianwen-1" was successfully launched, which started a magnificent journey to Mars. From being poor and blank in the space field to becoming the world’s leading space power, the Chinese nation has risen from suffering, paving a brilliant road full of human miracles.
A young scientific researcher who participated in the Mars exploration mission said in an interview: "This trip to Mars exploration is definitely a highlight in my life, and it is also what I can ‘ Show off ’ A lifetime thing. Youth is for struggle. Personal struggle can be integrated into the national cause, which is my greatest happiness. "
On July 18th, a symposium of volunteers for the 2020 Western Plan of Baoding College was held in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. In the special period of epidemic prevention and control, another 11 graduates went to grassroots posts in Xinjiang and Guangxi to carry out volunteer service. Good sons and daughters are ambitious in all directions, and those who are ambitious have no regrets. In recent years, a large number of college students have gone to the grass-roots units in the west to engage in supporting agriculture, teaching, supporting medicine and helping the poor, and have made contributions to the grass-roots units and the people, so that the flowers of youth can bloom where the motherland needs them most.
"The 14-year anti-Japanese war is arduous, and its greatest significance lies in awakening the ignorant people, uniting under the great banner of patriotism, and making great strides to catch up with the trend of the world’s modernization." Hong Xianghua, inspector and professor of the inspector group of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee (National School of Administration), said.
Vast and boundless, sail but believe in the wind. The anti-Japanese war spirit created by the great China people in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is a valuable spiritual wealth for Chinese people to strive for independence and freedom and realize national liberation in modern times. This spirit once led the Chinese nation to defeat the invasion of foreign enemies when it was poor and weak, and it will also guide the Chinese nation to compose a new chapter in the historical journey of decisive battle to build a well-off society in an all-round way and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

2. National integrity arouses the will for self-improvement
It was a terrible history, and it was also a magnificent epic.
Since it was knocked out of the country in 1840, this land with internal troubles and foreign invasion has been plagued by frequent wars and constant wars. The powers can come and go whenever they want, and it has become a "common practice" to cede land and pay reparations. The Chinese nation has been enslaved for too long.
But China didn’t give in, even at the cost of 35 million soldiers and civilians. Just as Comrade Zhu De read the anti-Japanese oath at the Eighth Route Army swearing-in meeting in September 1937 — — For the nation, for the country, for our compatriots, and for future generations, we have to fight to the end!
When the festival is poor, it is now, one by one. For improper conquered people, a large number of intellectuals from Peking University, Tsinghua and Nankai fled to the southwest from enemy-occupied areas; Refused to whitewash the peace for the Japanese puppet government, and Mei Lanfang, a famous actress of a generation, went on a song and dance, keeping a clear mind. More and more people, in the thunder drums in The Yellow River Cantata, March of the Volunteers, rushed to the battlefield.
A newspaper commentary at that time wrote: "Today, on the battlefield between the North and the South, there is a struggle for death, because everyone has absolute faith and knows that sacrificing themselves is in exchange for the independence and freedom of the children and grandchildren of the Chinese nation for generations, and they are sure that they will achieve it." Such a history and such a spirit cannot be forgotten by the people of China, nor will the people of China.
The smoke is far away, but the spirit of the war of resistance is not far away. For China, the sentence "You will be beaten if you fall behind" has taught us a profound lesson. The will to strive for self-improvement, awakened by national integrity, has made striving for strength the strongest voice of the times issued by several generations of Chinese.
On July 23rd, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader inspected the latest vehicle products of independent brands such as "Hongqi" in the R&D Institute of China FAW Group, and stressed that the key core technologies must be in his own hands, and this ambition should be established to promote the national automobile brand.
Do you remember that New China was poor at the beginning of its founding? Comrade Mao Zedong’s dignified face when he visited the automobile assembly line at Stalin Automobile Factory and his joy when the first domestic car drove into Zhongnanhai was beyond words.
Do you remember that a huge mushroom cloud bloomed in Lop Nur, and the music of "Dongfanghong" could be heard on every household’s radio?
As you can see, the Three Gorges Dam cut off Wushan Yunyu, and a series of roads crisscrossed the snowy plateau.
As you can see, Phoenix spread its wings and Beijing Daxing International Airport was put into operation as scheduled; Four leaves are blooming, and the third China International Import Expo(CIIE) is inviting friends from all over the world.
… … … …
Those heroes who have sacrificed their lives for national rejuvenation, can this prosperous time be as you wish?
Nowadays, is it out of date to carry forward the spirit of the war of resistance in the face of the great changes that have never happened in a hundred years and the complicated international situation?
"If you can’t see the crossroads in front of you, think about yesterday. If you can’t see through the complexity and variability of the international situation, you may wish to look at the past. " Xu Chuan, secretary of the General Party Branch of Marxist College of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said that today, the great China people have made a solemn and profound choice along the spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, inspiring the people of China to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and make unremitting efforts to achieve national self-improvement.
靡不有初，鲜克有终。新征程上，何愁乱云飞渡、风吹浪打，我自坚如磐石，只争朝夕，把前无古人的伟大事业推向前进。

3.英雄气概淬炼拼搏精神
平型关大战突击连、黄崖洞保卫战英雄团、左权独立营……2019年10月1日，由全军荣誉功勋部队代表组成的战旗方队浩荡驶过天安门。为庆祝新中国成立70周年，100面战旗集结成队、迎风飘扬；100个英雄番号气势如虹、浩气长存。
历史无言，精神不朽。透过一件件珍贵的抗战文物，我们把英雄故事铭刻在民族记忆中。
一把锈迹斑斑的马刀，见证了“将军腹中无余粮”的悲壮。在冰天雪地与敌周旋战斗5个昼夜后，马刀的主人——东北抗联第1路军总司令杨靖宇壮烈牺牲。日军将他割首剖腹，发现他的胃里尽是枯草、树皮、棉絮，无一粒粮食。
一封字迹清秀的绝笔信，书写了一位母亲的温柔与大义。“母亲因为坚决地做了反满抗日的斗争，今天已经到了牺牲的前夕了……我最亲爱的孩子啊，母亲不用千言万语来教育你，就用实行来教育你。”写下这封信后，31岁的赵一曼英勇就义。
A rubbings with the names of students who joined the army in The National SouthWest Associated University recorded the hearts of young students who tied their fate with the rise and fall of the country. In The National SouthWest Associated University’s eight-year history, 14 out of every 100 students rushed to the anti-Japanese battlefield. The 834 military students recorded in rubbings are just a silhouette of young people with aspirations going to the national disaster together.
Today, the mountains and rivers are intact, but the story of the hero has never been cut off. Later generations tempered their heroism into fighting spirit, and in the new era, they still show a moving style.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Since ancient times, there have been people who have worked hard, people who have worked hard, people who have pleaded for the people, and people who have sacrificed their lives for the law … … This is the backbone of China. " On the journey of endeavor, there has never been a lack of such people in China. They are Zhang Fuqing, who has hidden his fame all his life and never changed his mind. They are Huang Wenxiu, who dedicated his youth and life to the cause of poverty alleviation. They are China women’s volleyball team who won the World Cup with 11 consecutive victories. They are anti-epidemic fighters who are dressed in white and go retrograde. They are flood fighters who are soaked in sweat and brave in danger & HELIP; …
"The spirit of the China people’s war of resistance forged in blood and fire has never gone far." Luo Cunkang, director of China People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Memorial Hall, said that after decades of development, we have achieved the nirvana of the Phoenix, and the spirit of the Anti-Japanese War has turned into a powerful force to realize national rejuvenation, inspiring us to unite as one in the new era, be fearless of storms, keep our mission in mind and forge ahead courageously.
4. The belief of victory casts a great cause of rejuvenation.
During the 14 years of the Anti-Japanese War, in the situation of great disparity in strength between China and Japan, the enemy is strong and we are weak, the war situation is unfavorable, the political situation is turbulent, and materials are in short supply, BLACKPINK appeared in various arguments such as "we must settle down first when we are abroad", "the theory of national subjugation", "the theory of quick victory" and "the theory of saving the country by curve".
"China will die? Answer: It won’t die. The final victory is China’s. Can China win quickly? Answer: You can’t win quickly. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is a protracted war. " Comrade Mao Zedong scientifically predicted the direction of the war in "On Protracted War", which further strengthened the people’s will to fight bloody battles to the end.
"The deepest root of the victory of the war exists among the people." The belief of victory has taken root in the hearts of all Chinese people. The Chinese nation shared the same enemy and went to the national disaster together, and launched a life-and-death struggle with the aggressors, and finally won a great victory.
People with lofty ideals who advance wave after wave have created "wonders in the history of war, feats of the Chinese nation, and earth-shattering achievements" in the magnificent glorious course, and also achieved the great spirit of anti-Japanese war, which has become a precious spiritual wealth of the people of China.
This great victory was China’s first complete victory against foreign invasion in modern times, which opened a new journey for the revival of ancient China.
If the sky is sentimental, it will be old, and the right way in the world is vicissitudes.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that the victory of China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression proved that the Chinese nation is a nation with tenacious vitality and extraordinary creativity. As long as we are closely United, there will be no insurmountable difficulties. Entering a new era, we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history. However, it is more urgent to wander in the middle of the ship, which requires us to be more determined in our belief in winning, full of confidence in the bright future, stay awake to the complicated road, be good at turning risks into opportunities, challenges into motivation, and break through obstacles and waves.
A few months ago, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out suddenly, and the whole country was united as one, starting a people’s war, a general war and a blocking war to prevent and control the epidemic. More than 4.6 million grass-roots party organizations, more than 90 million party member people acted quickly, and more than 42,000 medical personnel rushed to Wuhan. Within ten days, Huoshenshan Hospital and Thunder God Mountain hospital rose from the ground … … In just three months, Wuhan and Hubei have achieved decisive results. China took the lead in controlling the epidemic in the shortest time, and contributed China’s strength and China’s model to the fight against the epidemic.
Getting rid of poverty is another tough battle. After several years of hard work, the overall regional poverty has been basically solved, and the rest are hard bones. In the face of the impact of the epidemic, the final battle to get rid of poverty is even more difficult. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that it is a solemn promise made by the CPC Central Committee to the people of the whole country that all the rural poor will be lifted out of poverty by 2020 under the current standards, and it must be realized as scheduled.
On June 21st, 14,230 people from 2,890 households in 26 townships and 100 administrative villages in Butuo County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, were assigned to live in the centralized resettlement site of Butuo ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation county by lottery, marking the completion of Liangshan ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation task.
"When you move into a new home, you don’t have to rent a house." Standing in my new house, from the mountains of Butuo, you are full of expectations for your future life. At present, party committees and governments at all levels lead the broad masses of the people to overcome the impact of the epidemic, push forward poverty alleviation with greater determination and strength, and the dawn of a comprehensive well-off society is ahead.
Up and down the same desire, invincible. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the face of arduous and complicated reform tasks, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has raised the flag and made plans for the layout of articles, and promoted comprehensive and deepening reforms with great political courage and wisdom. A series of major reforms have been solidly promoted, and various measures to facilitate the people, benefit the people and benefit the people have been continuously implemented, and the land of China has glow with new vitality.
People are not old after many storms, and it is still a long way to go to the beginning of the mountain. On the road to rejuvenation, the great struggle presents many new historical features. Although it is no longer blood and fire, it is also full of difficulties and dangers. Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), all Chinese sons and daughters will firmly believe in winning, arouse more high-spirited China spirit and gather more powerful Chinese forces, and will surely reach the glorious other side of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
