"Governance cannot forget chaos", the road to strengthening the military | "Security cannot forget endangering the people | China | History

Editor's note: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has published a series of important speeches and important articles with distinctive styles, profound thoughts, and profound connotations. They use history to reflect reality and look at the future from a distance, shining with the truth of Marxism. The charming language in these important speeches and articles is a true portrayal of General Secretary Xi Jinping's governing philosophy and a vivid manifestation of his personality charm. CCTV's "learning every day" column has launched a series of "idioms reading", which takes you to understand the language charm of general secretary Xi Jinping from different dimensions in the form of "news cartoon text reading.

The sense of crisis is the survival wisdom of the Chinese nation, which has been tempered by blood and fire, and tested by life and death for thousands of years. The CPC, born and growing out of internal and external troubles, has always had a strong sense of hardship.

He combines Marxist dialectics with the philosophical principles contained in China's excellent traditional culture, such as "safety and danger are mutually beneficial", and has a clear insight into the current situation. He deeply considers the safety of his country and emphasizes that the people's army must adhere to bottom line thinking and strengthen its awareness of danger.

Everything in the world has its two sides. The historical law of the alternation between "safety" and "danger", "governance" and "chaos", and "survival" and "demise" tells us that when a country is stable, it cannot forget the danger of destruction, and when a country is under great governance, it cannot forget the hidden dangers of war. We must always remain vigilant against various risks and challenges that may threaten the future and destiny of the country. This is both a lesson and an experience.

Coming from the depths of history, the pain of the Chinese people remains unresolved to this day.

The inscription on the "Wanzhong Tomb" in Lushun records: "In the tenth month of the first lunar month of Emperor Guangxu's reign, Japan defeated the alliance and Lushun did not defend it. More than 1800 men and women, who were officials, merchants, and civilians, were killed. The remains of loyalty were cremated and the ashes were buried here."

The ironclad record in the Memorial Hall for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Invading Army: On December 13, 1937, the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, resulting in the massacre of over 300000 compatriots, countless women being trampled and maimed, countless children dying, and one-third of the buildings in Nanjing being destroyed.

"The pain of gouging out the heart!" "The pain pierces through the heart!"

He repeatedly emphasized that "once military backwardness is formed, the impact on national security will be fatal.".

Nowadays, although peace and development have become the theme of the times, local conflicts and turbulence still occur frequently, and the threat of war remains lingering. Today's China has entered an irreversible historical process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but the path forward will never be smooth sailing.

The historical lessons of blood tell us that without a solid national defense and a strong army, security cannot be sustained, development is even more difficult to guarantee, and the people will inevitably suffer.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace. A strong country and a strong military are closely related.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has deeply promoted the political construction of the military, made bold reforms and tackled challenges, worked hard to train troops and prepare for war, and comprehensively promoted the development of science and technology, talent, and rule of law in the military.

By 2027, we will achieve the centenary goal of building the military, by 2035, we will basically achieve modernization of national defense and the military, and by the middle of this century, we will comprehensively build a world-class military... The roadmap for building a strong and prosperous military in China is becoming increasingly clear.

Build a strong and prosperous army! The alarm bell rings long!
