China is an ancient oriental country with a long history. The industrious and brave people of China have created a splendid 5,000-year Chinese civilization. In the long years, I have been at the forefront of the world. /kloc-since the beginning of the 9th century, the industrial revolution in western capitalist countries has flourished; China, on the other hand, is still wandering on the road of feudalism, and the rule of the Qing Dynasty is crumbling, with the river going from bad to worse and the sun setting. 1840, foreign capitalism opened the door of ancient China with strong ships and guns. The Opium War, the Sino-French War, the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China were disasters imposed on the Chinese nation one after another. In the past century, almost all capitalist countries in the world launched one or even many wars of aggression against China. There are open invasions and undeclared wars; Individual invasions and even joint looting forced China to sign thousands of unequal treaties. Through these unequal treaties, capitalism strongly supported feudal forces as a tool to rule China; Eating and annexing the territory of China; Sending troops to control and steal China's military territory; Divide the sphere of influence; Control important trading ports and establish concessions; Exercise consular jurisdiction and one-sided MFN treatment; Extortion of huge compensation through war; Dumping goods and exporting capital in China. Colonialism promoted by foreign capitalist powers caused great social, political, economic and cultural turmoil in China, and China gradually became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Since then, the people of China have waged a long-term indomitable struggle to get rid of the oppression of foreign capitalism and domestic feudalism. Since 1840, the crisis of national subjugation and extinction has been threatening this thousand-year-old country. When the Chinese nation was in danger, a generation of national elites woke up: Lin Zexu and Wei Yuan's "Learning from foreigners to control foreigners"; Anti-Qing peasant uprising led by Hong Xiuquan; Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao's "power reform"; Sun yat-sen's national revolution. It was they who stood up at the critical juncture of national life and death, fought for national independence and liberation, fought bravely and bravely, and wrote an epic and tragic chapter in China's modern history ... I read all these historical events in books, and I loved history before. It is history that makes me understand the development and culture of our country. At the same time, it is also history that makes me seem to see the glorious deeds of heroes. Our ancestors used their wisdom to create the future of China people and gave us supreme rights, which I learned from history books. In history books, we may hate some historical figures. If it were not for him, our country would not have declined. Take Li Hongzhang as an example. He is the official who signed the most traitorous treaties. In the history books, he is described as an out-and-out traitor. But other books record that Li Hongzhang didn't do it out of his own will, but he didn't want to close his eyes until he died, unlike living in the resentment of others all his life and dying unsatisfied. I don't believe in history books, because I think history books are also a pastime of a historical figure in his spare time. He won't always be there when every historical event happens, so mistakes are inevitable. History, what is history? In my understanding, it is probably to record what has happened through someone's handling. However, the teacher said that only what happened and was of great significance can become history. But in any case, history has become history, and we don't have to investigate who is right or wrong. I think some people are always clinging to the past now, which I despise. The main purpose of studying the modern history of China is to understand our country's past. Everyone should know his own past, so that he can better take root in the future and have a sense of national pride. I am what I feel when I study modern history this semester. There are about 600 words, but you have to add some of your own, otherwise it will be adopted if you wear it well!
