The history of the past 100 years fully proves that the Revolution of 1911 was a great milestone for the people of China to rise up and change their destiny. After the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, China * * * party member inherited his revolutionary spirit, United and led the people of all ethnic groups in China together with all those who were loyal to his cause, completed the new-democratic revolution and socialist revolution, actively promoted the cause of reform and opening up, made remarkable achievements, and constantly realized and developed the great ambitions of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and all revolutionary pioneers. Especially in the past 30 years of reform and opening-up, guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents, we have thoroughly implemented Scientific Outlook on Development, made great efforts to promote scientific development and social harmony, initially formed a set of Socialism with Chinese characteristics theory and established the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. In today's world, China is becoming a prosperous, strong, democratic and civilized socialist country full of political vitality, economic prosperity, great influence on human society and outstanding contribution. Today's world pattern and international order are undergoing profound changes, which greatly affect the living environment and development prospects of all ethnic groups. National unity leads to prosperity, while national division leads to failure. We should bear in mind the teachings of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, that is, "assess the situation internally and look at the general trend of the world" and take it as our responsibility to revitalize China.
Zhou Tienong, Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) and Chairman of the Central Committee of the Chinese Revolutionary Committee, said in his keynote speech.
On September 2nd, a symposium to commemorate the anniversary of the Revolution of 1911100th was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Since then, it has opened the prelude to the centenary of the Revolution of 1911.
Today we commemorate the Xinhai Revolution, but why the Xinhai Revolution?
The first question is, what would China be like without the Revolution of 1911? History cannot be a if, but the future can learn from the historical if and make different assumptions. Without the Revolution of 1911, could the Great Qing Dynasty walk out of a bright path in constitutionalism? Or further fall into the abyss of perdition? Debating on the significance of revolution and constitutionalism is not for the sake of thick revolution but for the sake of thin constitutionalism or vice versa, but to provide a perspective for us to understand the current and future road choices.
The second question is to return to people, Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's attitude, thoughts and methods towards the revolution are near and far to the people of China. But knowing the real Sun Yat-sen, a historian, you and I "comrades still need to work hard".
Sun Yat-sen's greatest contribution was the Revolution of 1911.
He is the pioneer of China's modern democratic revolution and the glorious pioneer of China's modernization.
The Revolution of 1911 was a great political change, which replaced the feudal monarchy in China with the Republic of China.
This is a great ideological enlightenment and liberation; It stimulated and promoted the economic development of China.
There are some innovations in the reform movement. It wants to westernize and let China embark on the road of modernization.
But it did not completely crush the imperial power. Only * * * harmonious system is the most suitable for China's modernization development.
Although Dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolution failed, it was a great revolution.
Because it paved the way for later political, economic and ideological struggles, it was an epoch-making great revolution.
What is Sun Yat-sen's attributive? It was clear in the past that he was a pioneer of the democratic revolution because he led the Revolution of 1911. Sun Yat-sen's greatest contribution was the Revolution of 1911. Of course, in his later years, he promoted the cooperation between countries, as well as the Northern Expedition and the National Revolution. But his most important achievement is undoubtedly the Revolution of 1911.
Before the Revolution of 1911, Sun Yat-sen was wanted by the Qing Dynasty and could not stay in the motherland. Of course, he can't build in the motherland. After the Revolution of 1911, he was the founding father, but Yuan Shikai wanted him again soon. In the second half of his life, he actually took office for less than a year and a half. An interim president for three months, a very big president for more than a year, in short, not a formal president.
A century has passed and many things have been forgotten. However, the Revolution of 1911 still retains a clear memory in the hearts of many people. Although most people who participated in the Revolution of 1911 are gone. However, the people have not forgotten that it was a great revolutionary movement and the first great change in China in the 20th century.
It can be said from at least three aspects: First, it was a great political change, which replaced the feudal monarchy in China for more than two thousand years since the Zhou Dynasty with the Republic of China. Although the Republic of China is largely superficial, this political change still plays an important role. Lenin made it very clear that replacing feudal monarchy with republicanism is a worldwide progress and a great progress.
The Republic founded by Sun Yat-sen is not only the first in China history, but also the first in Asian history. China was ruled by feudal autocracy for more than 2000 years, and it had an emperor for a long time. In many people's minds, who can manage us without an emperor? Who will run this country? The Revolution of 1911 proved that it would be better without the emperor. This is the great role of its political change.
Second, it was a great ideological enlightenment and liberation. What is most suitable for China's modernization is the * * * and system, which liberates people from the shackles of feudal absolutism, so it is necessary to carry out democratic enlightenment and ideological emancipation. At this time, ideological enlightenment is very important. From then on, in this land of China, anyone who wants to restore it can only be a short-lived farce. Yuan Shikai was restored, but it was only 83 days. In the end, he canceled it without a formal announcement, and soon died of grief. The other time was 19 17, zhang xun restoration. 19 15 was Yuan Shikai's Hongxian monarchy, and 19 17 was Zhang Xun's "pigtail soldier". It took about ten days to carry out the abandoned Puyi emperor. These two restorations failed to become long-term political events, and they were all short-lived farce. As for many autocratic, feudal and dictatorial figures who appeared later, they were all feudal in nature, but they dared not call themselves emperors. As Mao Zedong said, anyone who claims to be an emperor will set himself on fire, and the consequences will be serious.
Third, it stimulated and promoted the economic development of China. The Revolution of 1911 greatly promoted the upsurge of private enterprises, industry, agriculture and finance. Unfortunately, Sun Yat-sen resigned soon, and his revolutionary interim government no longer exists. Entrepreneurs didn't get many opportunities for development, but they did inspire the upsurge of running enterprises at that time and played a considerable role in promoting ideas. Unfortunately, it's short. The interim government has only been in existence for three months. Dr. Sun Yat-sen has issued more than 30 documents to promote social and economic development, but there is also a push, which cannot be denied.
Finally, the Revolution of 1911 broke the shackles of feudalism and opened the way for later progress. After the Revolution of 1911, two major events took place in ten years: First, the May 4th Movement, which was also a watershed between the old and new democratic revolutions; The second is the emergence of the China * * * production party. This party led the China Revolution, and since then, China has taken on a new look. After more than 20 years of struggle, the new China was finally established and the democratic revolution was completed.
