Reflections on the Outline of Modern and Contemporary History of China

To be honest, I like history very much. "Reading history can make you wise" is true. We can learn from history, so as to make accurate judgments and correct decisions about our situation. Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and other revolutionaries of the older generation attached great importance to historical research. But at the beginning of the course "Outline of Modern and Contemporary History of China", my heart was full of doubts: we have already studied this history twice in junior high school and senior high school. Now that senior three is in college, how should I learn? And the content is the same, from the Opium War to the present, without renovation! Although I didn't say it, I feel that this arrangement in the school is purely redundant.

However, when I reluctantly opened the textbook and read it slowly, I found the difference from the high school history class: the university history class pays more attention to the cause and historical influence of a historical event, rather than paying special attention to the occurrence process of the event; Moreover, the analysis of historical events is more organized and in-depth, which gives me a profound understanding of China's modern history.

The Outline of Modern and Contemporary History of China mainly teaches the history of China's resistance to foreign aggression, striving for national independence, overthrowing reactionary rule and realizing people's liberation in modern times, helping students to understand national history and national conditions, and deeply understand history and how people choose Marxism, China and socialism. In modern times, for the survival and liberation of the nation and the independence and prosperity of the motherland, the people of China experienced the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Sino-French War, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Reform Movement of 1898, the Boxer Movement, the Revolution of 1911, the May 4th Movement, the May 30th Movement, the Northern Expedition War, the Agrarian Revolutionary War, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the overthrow of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism. It can be said that a modern history of China is also a modern history of patriotic movement in China.

This terrible history began in 1840, when Britain, known as the first capitalist power, launched the Opium War against China. After the defeat, the Qing government was forced to sign the treaty of nanking, the first unequal treaty in China's modern history. Since then, China has become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Since then, the first batch of unequal treaties in China's modern history, such as the Sino-British Charter on Trade with Five Ports, the Sino-British Humen Treaty, the Sino-American Wang Xia Treaty, and the Sino-French Huangpu Treaty, have been signed. They were forced to cede territory, pay reparations, open trading ports and negotiate tariffs with foreign countries, and foreign countries gained consular jurisdiction in China and the privilege of preaching at trading ports. These treaties have brought barbarism and humiliation to the people of China.

Later, Britain and France launched the Second Opium War at 1856. After the failure of the Anti-Japanese War, the Qing government was forced to sign the Tianjin Treaty with Britain, France, Russia and the United States. Since then, there have been the British-French-Russian Beijing Treaty, 1885 Sino-French New Testament, 1894 Sino-Japanese treaty of shimonoseki, and 1900 G8 Treaty of Sorrow and Ugliness.

A series of wars of aggression against China and a large number of unequal treaties pushed China into the abyss of disaster and humiliation, which caused poverty and backwardness in modern China, increased the burden on the people and seriously damaged China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. However, what is the reason for all this? What historical lessons have we learned from it?

The corrupt and incompetent Qing government, the ignorant people of China, and the blind and arrogant foreign policy of going to China and closing the country to the outside world finally made China taste the bitter fruit he brewed. Therefore, it is not feasible to build a car behind closed doors, and it is foolish to be blind and arrogant. Therefore, we should bear in mind the humiliating history of China since modern times and the historical lesson that backwardness will lead to beatings.

In fact, the history of China is also an indomitable history of struggle. While the western powers brutally invaded China, the great Chinese nation and unyielding Chinese descendants waged a series of struggles, some from the bottom of society, some from within the Qing government, some organized, and some spontaneous by the masses. The appearance of patriotic generals such as Lin Zexu, Guan Tianpei, Zuo and Ding inspired the people's fighting spirit. The spontaneous anti-British struggle of the people in Sanyuanli, Guangzhou, shows the rebellious spirit of the people in China. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the Boxer Rebellion dealt a heavy blow to imperialist forces, and the unity of all social strata gave people hope.

Finally, after World War I, in order to safeguard national sovereignty, the May 4th patriotic movement broke out in 19 19, which spread all over the country and the working class stepped onto the political stage. The May 4th Movement was a thorough anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movement in China's modern history, which promoted the spread of Marxism and created conditions for the establishment of China.

The birth of China is an epoch-making event. Before that, countless people with lofty ideals shed their blood, for what? Isn't it a way to revitalize China? And this road is the socialist road led by China.

I still remember that the first song I learned when I was a child was "Socialism is Good", and the last sentence of the lyrics was "The people of the whole country are United and set off the climax of socialist construction". I believe all the people in China have heard that "without * * *, there would be no new China". These pop songs are not fabricated out of thin air, but have their legitimacy.

When we talk about China, we can't help thinking of the "Long March of the Red Army" that makes all China people proud. The era of the Long March has gone far away from us, but the "Long March Spirit" has been passed down from generation to generation like preserving spiritual kindling.

On the way to the Long March, many familiar heroic stories often ripple in our hearts. The indomitable, brave and fearless spirit, the cooperative spirit of mutual assistance, friendship and unity, the lofty quality of strict discipline and serving the people wholeheartedly inspire us to move forward all the time. But under countless auras, there are also many equally outstanding soldiers. They may not have the heroic deeds praised by people, but the "Long March Spirit" shines on them.

Here's a story about the Long March-"a dry food bag with the word' Xie' printed on it":

This is a touching story that happened on the way of the Red Army crossing the grass. There is an ordinary Red Army named Xie Yixian. When he crossed the grass, he got four Jin of dry food. On the way, the soldiers saw the hungry mother and son. Xiao Xie left his dry food bag to his teammates. He ate some wild vegetables and cold water every day to satisfy his hunger. Finally, he left because of fatigue. It was not until the mother and son came to return this dry food bag with the word "thank you" that the comrades in the army understood the whole story. ...

After reading this story, my heart is very heavy! Xie Yixian clearly knows that even a small bag of grain is a life-saving "treasure" on the vast grassland, which means a person's life! However, it was under such circumstances that he resolutely gave his food to his mother; I am hungry every day and don't want to get involved with my teammates; Even at the last moment of his life, he was still asking about the mother and son. After learning the answer that "they are fine", he passed away with a smile ... His deep friendship with the people and his comrades-in-arms deeply shocked me and made me see the "Long March spirit" that we have remembered for generations.

Twenty-five thousand li, walked a circle on the land of China, walked a circle in the heart of every China people. Our Red Army has gone through difficulties, breaking through the tight encirclement, crossing snow-capped mountains, grasslands, Chishui and Luding Bridge. From the autumn of 1934 to the month of 1936, this journey has written a glorious page in the history of China and set an unparalleled victory milestone.

For our generation in the new century, the Long March may be too far away. We have never experienced such hardships and such soul-stirring, but this history still brings us countless thoughts. All kinds of immortal "Long March Spirit" are worth pondering and learning. Of course, in the new century, among our students, these "Long March Spirits" need to be carried forward in study, on campus, in life, bit by bit on the road of growth and in the construction of the motherland. We should integrate these spirits into our own blood, make these treasures a part of life, and make ourselves qualified successors.

History has asked us such a serious question: "Where is the way out for China? How can we save China? " The book eloquently explains with a large number of historical facts: "The peasant revolution cannot establish a new system to replace the old order; The bourgeois revolution in China cannot overthrow the rule of imperialism and feudalism. " . The conclusion drawn from the history of the Opium War to New China is: "Only under the leadership of the proletariat can the revolution win;" Only by establishing a socialist system can China be saved! "This makes us further realize that true patriots should be supporters of the socialist system and the party's leadership.

Knowing history can tell the gain and loss. Most of the problems we are facing now can draw lessons from history, which is of great significance to our future life. Studying history makes people wise, and history is always strikingly similar. Taking history as a mirror, we can know its changes.

The nature of ideological and political education in the course Outline of Modern History of China determines that the course Outline of Modern History of China should highlight and carry forward the national spirit and patriotism, and enhance college students' sense of historical responsibility and mission to the nation. As contemporary college students, we should study hard and carry forward the Long March spirit in the new period.

The Chinese national spirit is a powerful spiritual force for the survival and development of the Chinese nation. For a nation, the spiritual power of historical development comes from the national spirit first. Patriotism, as the core and essence of the national spirit, is "an extremely deep feeling formed by the isolation of their respective motherland for thousands of years". Today's patriotism means loving the socialist motherland and devoting ourselves to the great cause of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country." Contemporary college students should inherit and carry forward the fine tradition of patriotism, carry forward the spirit of the Chinese nation, take Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents as guidance, consciously link their current study and work with the cause of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics, actively participate in the real life that is undergoing profound changes, and make more brilliant contributions to the ongoing modernization of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Napoleon once said: "The lion is asleep, and the fly dares to land on its face and make a few loud noises;" Once China awakens, the world will shake. "... The sufferings that China experienced in modern times gradually awakened the people of China, especially after the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the national cohesion of the people of China reached a peak. The victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the establishment of New China, the great achievements made in reform and opening up, and the changes in the international status of New China in the new century indicate that China, the sleeping lion, has finally woken up!
