Since the Revolution of 1911 in 19 1 1, it's almost100th anniversary. Time has passed, and history has gone. Time can change the vicissitudes of life, but it will never erase the brand left by history here. The deafening gunfire will be fixed in the long river of human history forever. It can be said that from the moment the smoke dispersed, people have been exploring this period of history in order to learn useful lessons from it.
On the day of June 19 1 1, the gunfire in the ancient city of Wuchang shocked China and the whole world. It sounded the death knell of feudal autocracy for more than 2000 years, which triggered a great change that swept across the land of China. The artillery fire left us not only glory and pride, but also rich materials. The valuable historical experience and lessons it left behind also provide important reference for future generations. Its great significance in promoting historical progress and its far-reaching influence on future generations will go down in history forever.
Today, in commemoration of the 0/00th anniversary of the Revolution of 1911, we should make a more realistic evaluation of the historical achievements of the Revolution of 1911. There is a saying in the Book of Rites that "the trip to the avenue is for the public". Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the great pioneer of China's democratic revolution, is a firm practitioner of this belief. I think the historical achievement of the Revolution of 1911 mainly lies in the deepening of China's humanistic spirit of democracy, freedom, equality and fraternity.
The Revolution of 1911 was a great bourgeois-democratic revolution in China's modern history, with far-reaching historical significance. It dealt a fatal blow to the feudal autocracy. It overthrew the Qing Dynasty, which ruled China for more than 260 years, ended the feudal autocratic monarchy system in China for more than 2,000 years, established the bourgeoisie and promoted historical progress. The Revolution of 1911 enabled the people to gain some democratic rights, and since then, the concept of democracy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the later historical process, whoever wants to be an emperor and restore the monarchy will become a rat crossing the street, and everyone will quickly collapse under the opposition of the people. Yuan Shikai's emperor lived only 83 days, and zhang xun restoration was even shorter. Since then, no one dared to climb this throne.
The Revolution of 1911 was an epoch-making innovation and reform. The absolute monarchy it wants to abolish is a system that has lasted for thousands of years, and the bourgeois democracy and system it wants to establish is a brand-new system. Despite the difficulties and hardships, the revolutionary pioneers are still persistent, indomitable and painstaking. Efforts should be made to explore all kinds of positive factors that have condensed, united, inspired and inspired the economic, political, cultural and even psychological qualities of hundreds of millions of people for thousands of years, so as to arouse "my compatriots", * * * to save the nation and finally achieve the goal of innovation through hard struggle. The feudal autocratic monarchy is the root of exploitation and oppression, poverty and suffering of China people for thousands of years, which has seriously hindered the development of China's history. In modern times, it greatly facilitated the imperialist invasion and slavery of China. Thoroughly overthrowing the autocratic monarchy is a prerequisite for China people to liberate themselves from extreme poverty and backwardness under the rule of imperialism and feudalism. At the beginning of the 20th century, when the nation was in danger, the revolutionaries represented by Sun Yat-sen put forward the idea of overthrowing the autocratic government of the Qing Dynasty and establishing a democratic country, which opened a new era of thousands of years of revolution in China and a new stage of people's struggle in modern China.
The lofty ideals in the Revolution of 1911 left us with a fearless spirit, which is explosive and original, and is a precious humanistic spirit. The revolutionary volunteers who participated in the Revolution of 1911 were a group of patriotic and progressive groups led by modern intellectuals and progressive bourgeoisie. At the critical moment of national peril, they devoted themselves to the democratic revolution and launched the Wuchang Uprising with the feeling of saving the country with one heart and one son. Overthrow the feudal autocratic rule of the Qing Dynasty. After Sun Yat-sen took office as interim president, he showed high revolutionary spirit and approachable democratic style, which left a deep impression on people. In just three months, the Nanjing Provisional Government headed by Sun Yat-sen promulgated more than 30 revolutionary decrees, such as changing the solar calendar, cutting braids within a time limit, abolishing bowing, banning foot binding, smoking opium, torture, destroying instruments of torture, and "improving commodities", all of which bear the spirit of bourgeois democracy. The Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China promulgated in the name of Sun Yat-sen stipulated the democratic rights of the people of all ethnic groups in China. Although it mainly protects the interests of the bourgeoisie, it is undoubtedly a revolutionary and democratic national fundamental law. Its publication provides a legal basis for people's democratic rights and is greatly conducive to the development of democratic spirit.
A century has passed since the revolution in 19 1 1. Today, we commemorate the Revolution of 1911 in order to remember the education and enlightenment that history has given us, that is, to inherit the fine traditions of revolutionary ancestors, especially to learn from Dr. Sun Yat-sen's excellent character of patriotism, revolution and continuous progress. With the development of the times, this ardent patriotism has increasingly become an eternal force to inspire our nation. Today, we should hold high this banner and unite the wisdom and strength of the Chinese people.
To carry forward the spirit of the Revolution of 1911 is to vigorously carry forward the innovative spirit of being the first, daring to do and dare to try, and at the same time carry forward the spirit of "democracy, freedom, equality and fraternity". Especially cadres who serve the people, should learn this spirit. They should be brave enough to fight against corrupt forces, be honest and upright, be people-oriented, love and benefit the people, be anxious and think what they think. This spirit will surely become the spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation. Now, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is a brilliant red sun leaping from the eastern horizon, which is destined to rise high. We are proud of what we are doing and are more energetic for the coming tomorrow. One day, the world will once again seek cultural vitality and innovative ideas from China, and the world will be reborn with the help of the oldest countries.
