hello everyone!
With all kinds of questions, I opened the door of the book Red Star Over China.
The book is divided into chapters, of which the most attractive to me are chapter - the origin of a communist and chapter - the long march.
The Communist in Chapter is China's great Marxist, a great proletarian revolutionist, and Mao Zedong, the core of the party's first generation of central collective leadership. In this chapter, Mao Zedong accepted Snow's interview and told his own experience of loving reading in his early years.
Chapter is about the long march. Without understanding the Long March, I mistakenly thought that the so-called long march was because the Communist Party was defeated by the Kuomintang, and the red army began the long march in order to retain the remaining Red Army soldiers. In fact, the reason why the Red Army soldiers made the long march was because of Chiang Kai Shek's five encirclement and suppression. Although in the first four encirclement and suppression campaigns, the Red Army soldiers skillfully used various tactics to hold their positions, seized the enemy's ammunition and weapons as supplies, and expanded their forces. However, in the fifth encirclement and suppression, Chiang Kai Shek used about million troops, thousands of small blockhouses, a large number of heavy weapons and flying fighters. Such fierce firepower forced the Red Army to choose the long march.
Seeing this scene, I can't help but think of a poem written by Chairman Mao Zedong - "the Red Army is not afraid of the difficulties of expeditions, and thousands of rivers and mountains are only at ease. The five mountains are winding with fine waves, and the dark clouds are majestic, walking through mud pills. The Jinsha water is warm on the clouds and cliffs, and the Dadu bridge is cold across the iron rope. I like the snow of Minshan Mountain more, and the three armies are happy after the war." we should really cherish our present life.
"I have no regrets to enter China in this life, and I will be a Chinese in the afterlife." I hope that the spirit of perseverance and courage to struggle of the Red Army soldiers can be inherited forever. I also hope that what people say in the future is not only "Red Star Over China" but also "China shines on the world".
Thank you!
