Hello!
The people of China will never forget that1On July 7, 937, Japanese imperialism launched the Lugouqiao Incident, which shocked China and foreign countries. Since then, the people of China have embarked on a difficult anti-Japanese war. The people of China will never forget one unequal treaty after another, which turned China from a vast country into a fat sheep to be slaughtered. The people of China will never forget that Eight-Nation Alliance burned Yuanmingyuan, turning the most splendid buildings in the world into scorched earth and rubble in an instant. The people of China will never forget how many people with lofty ideals were ordered, and how many revolutionary ancestors shed their blood and blood and defeated imperialism with iron will, fearless spirit, indomitable spirit and United strength.
Vicissitudes, ups and downs, the great motherland has experienced hardships. We shoulder the cross-century historical mission, and we don't want to lag behind our predecessors. We should inherit and carry forward the dauntless spirit left by our predecessors that we are not afraid of difficulties and have the courage to make progress.
Teenagers are prosperous when they are successful, but they are strong when they are successful. We should adapt to the requirements of the development of the times, correctly understand the history and future of the motherland, and love the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. The territory of the motherland cannot be lost or divided and occupied.
The history of writing is still turning tirelessly, and the historical appeal of rejuvenating the Chinese nation echoes endlessly on the ancient map, and the rich voice shakes every burning heart. Raise the ideal sail with our wisdom and courage! With our youth and blood, write a new chapter in history worthy of the ancients and future generations!
Mr. Lu Xun once said: Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has had hard-working people, hard-working people, people who have dedicated themselves to the law, and people who plead for the people-they are the backbone of China. All the ancestors who explored saving the country and the people are the backbone of China, the great heroes of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression are the backbone of China, and we will surely become the backbone of rejuvenating the Chinese nation in the new century. It is because there are so many backbones that China will be revitalized one day!
Teachers and students:
The topic of my speech is "Don't forget the national humiliation and revitalize China"
Students, I think you all know 18601the incident that the British and French allied forces invaded the Yuanmingyuan in Beijing on October 6! They took everything they could in Yuanmingyuan; If you can't carry it, use animals to carry it; If it cannot be transported, it will be destroyed at will. The worst thing is that they set fire to Yuanmingyuan in June 18 and June 19 in order to destroy the evidence. This artistic treasure, the essence of architectural art, was reduced to ashes. Now we are left with only a few lonely pillars and endless regret and anger.
1931September 18, the Japanese kwantung army created the "wicker lake incident", that is, the September 18th incident. Let the people of the whole country fall into deep suffering. 193 1 During the week from September 18 to 25, the Kwantung Army occupied 30 cities in Liaoning and Jilin provinces and completely controlled the 12 railway line.
In addition to Nanman and Anfeng, the Japanese-controlled railways extend to (Pingning) (Shenyang) in the north, the Middle East (Harbin west to Manzhouli east to Suifenhe south to Changchun), Shenyang (Yanghai) (Dragon), Siping (Tao An), Jilin (Forestry) Dragon (Spring) and Jilin (Forestry) Dun (Chemical).
Shenyang, a military base in China, was occupied in less than half a day. They didn't attack the occupation, but we gave it to them ourselves. Here we can see how weak we China people were at that time.
1In June, 840, Britain launched the Opium War. 184 1 In June, the British army occupied Hong Kong Island.
Students who have seen the book and film Nanjing Massacre will never forget the ferocity of the Japanese. They killed nearly 300,000 people, including the elderly, women and children. The Japanese also held a killing competition to see who killed more. In the movies, they are said to be animals. These things can only be done by animals.
The pain left by foreign invaders is deeply engraved in our hearts. The Japanese haven't given up yet, and they have been thinking about invading China. After former Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi visited the shrine, many countries expressed their dissatisfaction. I feel that he simply looks down on us China people, and sooner or later we will leave a deep impression on him. Now China's science and technology are more and more developed. Shenzhou 5 and Shenzhou VI have both flown into space. I believe China will be more developed in the future. Students, we are the new pillars of the 2 1 century and the new flowers of the motherland. We must study hard to make our motherland more beautiful. "Don't forget the national humiliation and revitalize China!" Let this sentence be remembered and never forgotten, inspiring us to work hard.
My speech is over.
For a country and a nation, human rights are first and foremost the people's right to exist. Without the right to life, all other human rights are out of the question. This is the simplest truth. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms that everyone has the right to life, liberty and personal security. In old China, due to imperialist aggression, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism oppression, people's lives were not guaranteed, and countless people died of war, hunger and cold. Striving for the right to life has historically become the first human rights issue that the people of China must solve.
Without national independence, people's lives are not guaranteed. The imperialist aggression first endangers the survival of the people of China. Therefore, to fight for the right to subsistence, we must first fight for the right to national independence. Since 1840 Opium War, China has gradually changed from a feudal country to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country. From 1840 to 1 10 in 1949, the imperialist powers such as Britain, France, Japan, the United States and Russia successively launched hundreds of wars of aggression against China, which caused incalculable losses to the lives and property of China people.
-Imperialism massacred the people of China on a large scale in the war of aggression. 1900, Eight-Nation Alliance burned and looted, turning Tanggu town with more than 50,000 people into an empty ruin, leaving only 100 people in Tianjin after burning out. After entering Beijing, countless people were killed, including 1700 people in Zhuangwangfu alone. In the full-scale Japanese imperialist war of aggression against China, which began in 1937, more than 21000000 people were killed and injured, and more than 0/000000 people were disabled and killed. Among them, in the six weeks after1937 65438+February 13, the Japanese aggressor troops slaughtered 300,000 people in Nanjing.
-The imperialists wantonly sold and abused China laborers, causing countless lives in old China. According to incomplete statistics, from the middle of 19 century to the 1920s, as many as120,000 China laborers were trafficked all over the world. These kidnapped and deceived China laborers were imprisoned in "pig houses" and branded with the names of their destinations. During the period of 1852- 1858, more than 8,000 Chinese workers were tortured to death in Shantou alone. The record of wanton killing of China workers in projects and mines run by foreign forces in various parts of China is shocking. During the Japanese imperialist invasion of China, no less than 2 million workers were tortured to death in Northeast China alone. After being persecuted to death, workers in China were thrown into ravines or rock pits. More than 80 such "mass graves" have been discovered and the bones of more than 700,000 workers have been buried.
-Imperialism practiced colonial rule in China, which humiliated the people of China and made them have no human dignity at all. At that time, foreign invaders enjoyed "extraterritoriality", which was beyond the jurisdiction of China's legal officials. On February 24th, 1946, 1946, Shen Chong, a girl from Peking University, was raped by American soldier Pearson in Beiping, which aroused the great indignation of the people all over the country. However, the criminal was unilaterally dealt with by the United States and was acquitted. The "Concession" established by the foreign powers in China has administrative power, legislative power, judicial power, police power and financial power, and has become a "country within a country" completely independent of China's administrative and legal system. 1885, foreign invaders even put up a sign at the entrance of Shanghai French Concession Park, saying that "Chinese and dogs are not allowed in", which brazenly insulted the personality of China people.
-Imperialism forced China to sign more than 1 100 unequal treaties and plundered China's wealth on a large scale. According to statistics, in the past century, foreign invaders plundered war reparations and other funds through these unequal treaties as high as 654.38+000 billion taels of silver. Among them, eight unequal treaties, such as treaty of nanking, treaty of shimonoseki and Xin Chou Treaty, extorted compensation of195.3 million taels of silver, which was equivalent to 1.6 times of the revenue of the Qing government. However, Japan extorted 230 million taels of silver only through treaty of shimonoseki, which was equivalent to four and a half years' income of Japanese national finance at that time. The losses caused by the invaders' destruction and robbery in the war are even more difficult to estimate. During the Japanese full-scale war of aggression against China (1937- 1945), more than 930 cities in China were occupied, resulting in direct economic losses of 62 billion dollars and indirect economic losses of more than 500 billion dollars. The loss of national sovereignty and the plunder of social wealth have deprived the people of China of the most basic living conditions.
Faced with the decline of national sovereignty and the catastrophe of people's lives, the people of China have waged an indomitable struggle with foreign invaders for more than a century to save their nation and strive for national independence. During this period, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Boxer Rebellion and the Revolution of 1911 that overthrew the feudal Qing Dynasty broke out in China. Although these revolutionary movements dealt a heavy blow to the imperialist forces in China, they failed to shake off China's semi-colonial status. It was not until China's * * * production party led the people of the whole country to overthrow the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang and establish the People's Republic of China (PRC) that this situation was fundamentally changed. Since the birth of 192 1, China's * * * production party has clearly put forward in its political program that "the oppression of international imperialism will be overthrown to realize the complete independence of the Chinese nation", "the warlords will be overthrown and China will be counted as a real democratic country", and it has led the people in arduous struggles and won the national democratic revolution.
The establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC) eradicated the forces of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat-capitalism in Chinese mainland, put an end to China's humiliating history of being trampled on and bullied for more than 100 years and the turbulent situation of long-term war and fragmentation, and realized the long-awaited national independence and reunification. The Chinese nation, which accounts for nearly a quarter of the human population, is no longer a nation that aggressors can slaughter and insult at will. The people of China stood up as masters of the country, and for the first time truly enjoyed their due human dignity and won the respect of the whole world. The life safety of the people in China has been fundamentally guaranteed.
Although the life of the people of China will no longer be ravaged by foreign invaders because of the independence of the country, to truly solve the problem of the right to subsistence, we must provide basic living security for the people on this basis.
Eating enough and wearing warm clothes is the minimum requirement for China people who have suffered from hunger and cold for a long time. Successive governments in old China not only failed to solve this problem, but aggravated the people's disaster. In old China, landlords and rich peasants, who only accounted for 10% of the rural population, occupied 70% of the land, while poor farm labourers, who accounted for 70% of the rural population, only occupied 10% of the land. The bureaucratic comprador bourgeoisie, which accounts for a very small population, monopolizes 80% of industrial capital and manipulates the lifeline of the national economy. The people of China are exploited by land rent, taxes, usury and industrial and commercial capital, and the degree of exploitation and poverty is rare in the world. According to statistics, in 1932, there were as many as 1656 kinds of exorbitant taxes, and their donations accounted for about 60% to 90% of farmers' harvest. Coupled with the political corruption and incompetence of the reactionary government, it humiliated the country and served as the ruling tool of imperialism. Warlords, large and small, have been fighting for a long time, and the people have suffered greatly and their survival is difficult. It is estimated that 80% of people in old China were hungry or semi-hungry for a long time, and tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people died of hunger almost every year. In the event of a natural disaster, it is even hungrier. 193 1 year, floods in east China caused more than 3.7 million deaths. 1943, 3 million people starved to death in Henan province alone, and another150 thousand people lived on grass roots and bark and were on the verge of death. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, the reactionary Kuomintang government launched a civil war, squeezing people's fat and paste, resulting in a total economic collapse. 1946, starved to death everywhere100000 people. 1947, the hungry population in China exceeded 65438+ billion, accounting for 22% of the national population at that time.
1949 since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the governments of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China have always regarded solving the problem of food and clothing for their people as their top priority and the most urgent task. The people's government led the people of the whole country for three years, concentrated on healing the wounds of war, and quickly restored the national economy to the highest level in history. On this basis, China lost no time in realizing the socialist transformation of agriculture, handicrafts and capitalist industry and commerce, fundamentally eliminating the system of exploitation and implementing the socialist system, making the people of China the masters of the means of production and the beneficiaries of social wealth for the first time in history. This has greatly stimulated the people's enthusiasm for building a new China and a new life, liberated social productive forces, and made the social economy develop unprecedentedly in the history of China. After 1979, China took economic construction as the center, implemented reform and opening up, and built Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which further promoted the heart of social productive forces, thus basically solving the problem of food and clothing for1/kloc-0 million people. China's arable land accounts for only 7% of the world's arable land, and its per capita possession is only 1.3 mu, which is far lower than the average level of US 12. 16 mu and the average level of 4.52 mu in the world, but it supports 22% of the world's population. Some politicians in the West once asserted that no government in China can solve the problem of people's feeding. However, socialist China solved this historical problem by itself. Over the past 40 years, although China's population has increased by more than140,000 per year, the per capita consumption of major consumer goods has increased substantially. According to the sampling survey, the daily calories 1952 and 1990 of Chinese residents from food are 2270 kcal and 231/kcal, which are close to the world average.
China people's life expectancy and health level have been greatly improved. According to statistics, the average life expectancy in China has been raised from 35 years before liberation to 70 years in 1988, exceeding the level of middle-income countries in the world. The death rate of population dropped from 33‰ before liberation to 6.67‰ in 1990, making it one of the countries with the lowest death rate in the world. From 65438 to 0987, the infant mortality rate in China was 3 1‰, which was close to the level of high-income countries. The physique of the population in China, especially the physical development of teenagers, has also been greatly improved compared with that in old China. Compared with 1937- 194 1 in 1979, the height of boys aged 15 increased by 1.8 cm, and the average weight increased by 2. 1 kg. 15-year-old girl, her height increased by 1.3 cm and her weight increased by 1 kg. Since 1979, China people's physique has improved obviously, and they have completely got rid of the old China's "sick man of East Asia" hat.
The problem of people's food and clothing has been basically solved, and the problem of people's right to subsistence has been basically solved. This is a historic achievement made by the people of China and the government of China in striving for and safeguarding human rights.
In China, safeguarding people's right to subsistence and improving people's living conditions are still the primary issues. Although China has achieved independence, China is still a developing country with limited national strength. Maintaining China's independence and sovereignty and ensuring that China is not bullied by imperialism are still the basic conditions for the survival and development of the people of China. Although China has basically solved the problem of food and clothing, the level of economic development is still relatively low, and there is still a big gap between people's living standards and those of developed countries. The pressure of population and the relative poverty of per capita resources will also restrict the development of social economy and the improvement of people's lives. In the event of turmoil or other disasters, the people's right to exist will be threatened. Therefore, we should maintain national stability, follow the successful route, concentrate on developing productive forces, persist in reform and opening up, strive to develop the national economy and enhance national strength, so that the people of the whole country can further reach a well-off level on the basis of adequate food and clothing, and the people's right to subsistence will not be threatened. This is the most fundamental wish and demand of the people of China, and it is also a long-term and urgent task of the China government.
