We China people have backbone.

Mencius in the Warring States period had a few very good words: "Wealth cannot be lewd, poverty cannot be moved, and powerful people cannot be bent. This is called a gentleman. " It means that high officials and rich people can't be bought, poverty and hardship can't be tortured, and violent force can't be threatened. This is the so-called gentleman. These actions of a gentleman show heroism, which we call backbone today.

Our country has experienced a long period of slave society and feudal society, and there are many such people with backbone in each era. We are descendants of these people with backbone, and we are a nation with a fine revolutionary tradition.

Of course, different societies, different classes and backbones have different specific meanings. This must be made clear. But as far as the principle of unswervingly serving the cause of progress at that time is concerned, many touching stories of our ancestors with backbone and their positive educational significance are worth learning.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the capital Lin 'an was invaded by the Yuan Army. Prime Minister Wen Tianxiang organized the armed forces to be loyal to the opposition. After being captured, the Yuan Dynasty advised him to surrender. He wrote a poem, two of which are: "No one has died since ancient times, only his heart shines." It means that people always die, depending on how they die, whether they die in humiliation or for the benefit of the country. He chose the latter and recorded this loyalty in history. Wen Tianxiang was imprisoned and tortured in a damp dungeon in Beijing. Yuan sent people to persuade him many times that he could become a high official as long as he surrendered, but he resolutely refused and was finally killed in A.D. 1282.

Mencius said a few words in Wen Tianxiang. His famous "Song of Benevolence and Righteousness" praised the heroism of ancient people with backbone, used their lives to resist oppression and called on the people to continue to resist.

Another story is that in ancient times there was a poor man who was starving to death. Someone threw him a bowl of rice and said, "Come and eat!" " "(hey, come and eat! The hungry man refused the charity of "ooh", refused to eat this bowl of rice, and then starved to death. The story of not eating the food you eat is very famous. It has been a legend for thousands of years, and it also has positive significance. The man put on a philanthropist's face and shouted, "Hey, come and have dinner! "It tastes unpleasant. What's the second step after eating this bowl of rice? Obviously, he won't give alms in vain, and he has to help him with his food. That poor man has a backbone: judging from your face and manner, he would rather starve to death than eat your food.

Not eating the food of the past shows the character of China people.

This is another example. Wen Yiduo, a democracy fighter, was shot dead by the Kuomintang on July 1946. Before that, his friend got the news that he was going to assassinate him and advised him to hide for the time being. He doesn't care, he works as usual and works harder. Knowing that the enemy was going to kill him, he shouted a few minutes before he was killed, denouncing the Kuomintang spies and pointing out that their days would not last long and people's democracy would surely win. In Farewell to Si Tuleideng, Chairman Mao pointed out: "Many people who used to be liberals or democratic individualists stood up before American imperialism and its lackeys, the Kuomintang reactionaries. Wen Yiduo was furious with the Kuomintang pistol and would rather surrender than give in. " Highly praised him for showing the heroism of our nation.

Although Mencius said these words more than 2000 years ago, they still have positive significance until now. Of course, we proletarians have our own heroism and backbone, that is, we will never bow to any difficulties, be flat, bend, bear or be intimidated. For the victory of socialism and socialist construction, we will be able to overcome any difficulties and forge ahead bravely!
