2. We advocate that heroes are judged by success or failure, because in the process of discussing heroes, we can correct the cognitive deviation of some historical figures caused by some specific historical grievances and historical limitations of knowing people. It is a logical and historical fact that heroes are judged by success or failure.
We advocate the success or failure of heroes and the positive value orientation. In today's peaceful era, those eternal heroes who went to Dajiangdong to surf seem to be getting farther and farther away from us. People are always struggling for their own livelihood, so the material is getting richer and richer and the spirit is getting poorer and poorer. People often can only look up at those heroes as they look up at the starry sky. However, not all heroes are out of reach, nor are they all tragic and heroic sacrifices. On the basis of success or failure, we can see that many heroes of the new era are appearing in front of us with the dawn of the times. Loyal to the ideal and realistic, brilliant and down-to-earth, he is good at turning Peng Pai's passion into a scientific and pragmatic style. We have space heroes, anti-flood heroes, anti-SARS heroes and so on. It is these heroes who hold high the heroic torch of the new era, ignite the unprecedented heroic pride of the Chinese nation and play the heroic March of our time. Therefore, it is of practical significance for us to encourage success and encourage everyone to learn from heroes. Although, we can't fly in the universe like real dragons and lurk in the waves. However, as a humanist, we advocate that everyone can pursue success and have the humanistic spirit of striving for human progress and justice. And this spirit is the spiritual torch that leads the nation and mankind forward.
We worship heroes, encourage success, inspire everyone's heroic passion and pursue our own success. Looking for him in the crowd, suddenly looking back, the hero is in the dim light. Don't judge a hero by success or failure. No matter how time passes and his status changes, he will never forget his comrades who fought side by side. Even the defeated general is still a hero in his heart.
Douglas macarthur was one of the most dazzling general stars in World War II. He served as a military commander all his life and participated in two world wars. At the age of 39, he became the president of West Point Military Academy and was known as the "father of West Point". At the age of 50, he became the youngest army chief of staff in the history of the US military. The most brilliant moment of his life was fixed at1September 2, 945. He presided over the Japanese surrender ceremony as commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces! When he signed the Japanese surrender, he took out five pens at the same time Why did he make such a strange move under the attention of the world?
He has eternal pain in his heart!
194 1 At the end of the year, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War broke out. MacArthur, then commander-in-chief of the US military, was stationed in the Philippines, leading the troops in a tenacious battle with the Japanese army. However, due to the lack of preparation at the beginning of the war and the fact that the enemy was outnumbered, it was almost certain to be defeated. MacArthur vowed to live and die with the Philippines, and even the suicide pistol was ready, but the US government did not want to lose a member of the Iliad. In March of the following year, under the repeated urging of President Roosevelt's telegram, MacArthur had to leave the Philippines alone and go to Australia to take over the southwest theater.
A month later, the whole Philippines fell and 90,000 American troops were forced to surrender to the Japanese army. MacArthur's favorite general Wayne Wright and British commander Major General Arthur were both captured. This is the largest surrender in the history of the US military and the most painful failure in MacArthur's military career.
When MacArthur arrived in Australia, he was still welcomed as a hero. After all, he led the American army to bravely resist the Japanese army for so long. However, he never forgot the great humiliation he suffered in the Philippines. He told reporters: "I am going out now, but I will come back!" " "At that time, the military situation in the United States was unfavorable, and the United States was shrouded in pessimism. This statement greatly encouraged people's confidence in the war of resistance. It was suggested to him that it should be changed to "We will be back". But MacArthur refused and said firmly, "No, not us, but I will come back. "He must bear the shame of failure alone. The time for revenge has finally arrived. 1944101On October 20th, MacArthur led 280,000 troops to land in Leyte Island, Philippines. When the American army just occupied the beachhead position, the fighting was still fierce. MacArthur couldn't wait, put on a brand-new khaki uniform and braved the bullets and waded into the knee-deep sea. It rained cats and dogs, and someone offered him an umbrella, but he refused. Standing in the rain, he made a speech: "Filipino people, I, douglas macarthur, a five-star general of the US military, are back ..." It's hard to say whether it is rain or tears on his face. He has been waiting for this day for too long!
Fascism finally collapsed. 1on the morning of September 2, 945, the sky over Tokyo Bay in Japan was overcast, but the colorful flags on the battleship Missouri of the United States fluttered and were full of joy. Allied commander MacArthur will preside over the Japanese surrender ceremony here. Representatives from China, the Soviet Union, Britain, France and other allies and journalists from all over the world attended the meeting. In the solemn and passionate military music, MacArthur boarded the warship, and behind him stood General Wainwright and British Commander Major General Arthur. After being defeated and captured in the Philippines, the two men have been imprisoned in a Japanese prison camp in Shenyang, China, and MacArthur specially sent someone to take them aboard the battleship Missouri. He hugged them both tightly and said emotionally, "I left you a mess, but I left alone." You are the real heroes! " "The two generals were moved to tears.
MacArthur first ordered the Japanese representative to sign the surrender, and then sat down and took out five pens. He first signed the first four letters of his name "Doug" and presented the first pen to General Wainewright. Then I changed my second pen, signed "las" and returned it to Major General Arthur behind me. Then he signed his surname "MacArthur" with a third pen, which was given to the National Archives of the United States. The last two signed his official title, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, and gave it to his alma mater, West Point Military Academy, and his beloved wife.
People often say that heroes are not judged by success or failure, but in fact, how many people can really do it? In the most glorious moment of life, MacArthur pulled two former prisoners to his side, which was tantamount to making his shame public, but he didn't care.
