Chapter 24 Chapter Eleven Jinling Dream Broken

With the defeat of the Japanese, an era came to an end, and a new historical juncture appeared in front of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party: Where should the two parties go? When the Soviet Union had just dispatched troops and Japan had not yet surrendered, both the KMT and the Communist Party had begun a massive counter-offensive—to force or accept the surrender of the Japanese and puppet troops, confiscate weapons, take over power, and occupy enemy-occupied areas. I mentioned before that the Communist Party issued counter-offensive orders and restricted the Japanese and puppet troops to surrender when the Soviet Union just sent troops.The reason why the Communist Party is so anxious is probably because it wants to take advantage of the power vacuum created by the Soviet Union’s dispatch of troops and the imminent surrender of the Japanese army, to expand its forces and control its territory in the shortest time and at the fastest speed, and use it as a position for equal dialogue with the Kuomintang. It is even a bargaining chip for armed power.The idea of ​​the Communist Party is easy to understand. Anyone who has experienced a life-and-death struggle against Chiang Kai-shek for more than ten years will find it difficult to trust Chiang Kai-shek.

When the Communist Party was one step ahead of the Kuomintang to accept surrender in North China, East China and other places, Chiang Kai-shek's action arrived-while ordering the Eighth Route Army to "garrison on the spot" and "not to act without authorization", he ordered the national army to "step up the fight" and the puppet army " It shall not be incorporated without the permission of the chairman of the committee."Although Chiang Kai-shek's movements were not slow, the national army's geographical location was at a disadvantage—most of the elite national army were in the rear (such as the southwest), and if they wanted to go to North China to receive surrender, they had to travel through mountains and rivers.However, most of the armed forces of the Communist Party are on the battlefield behind enemy lines, and when the troops come out, they will be in enemy-occupied areas.The close to the water and the land first get the moon, and the Communist Party receives more and more weapons and territories.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was thousands of miles away, saw all this and was in a hurry.He scratched his head, racked his brains, and brainstormed ideas, and finally came up with a bad move—negotiation.Chiang Kai-shek invited Mao Zedong to Chongqing to discuss the plan of "peacefully building the country and organizing a coalition government". If Mao Zedong does not come, it means that the Communist Party has no sincerity for peace, and it will have a reason to send troops to attack. If Mao Zedong came, he could not only use the negotiations to suppress the current momentum of the CCP’s armed forces to attack the city, but also send the national army to the north during the negotiations to accumulate strength for the civil war and plan ahead.

What is rare is that Chiang Kai-shek's idea of ​​"peacefully building the country and organizing a coalition government" actually won the support of two big men—Truman and Stalin. The United States originally wanted to promote its multi-party democratic politics around the world, and now Chiang Kai-shek's launch of the "coalition government" project is exactly what he wants. As for Stalin also supporting the CCP to join the "coalition government" led by Chiang Kai-shek, it was because he did not want a civil war in China, and did not want any unstable factors to affect the signed "Sino-Soviet Alliance Treaty" and the Yalta system jointly established by the United States and the Soviet Union.To put it simply, Mongolia was successfully independent, and the Northeast became the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union.Now that all the benefits you want have been obtained, then don't worry about it anymore, stability comes first, and stability overrides everything else!

October 10, 1945, National Day, Chongqing.Under the mediation of the United States and the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong signed the "Double Ten Agreement" with Chiang Kai-shek, announcing the truce between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the peaceful construction of a new country. The whole country celebrates.In the eyes of the Chinese people, with the establishment of a democratic country and coalition governance in sight, China will be at peace, and decades of division will come to an end. At the moment when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party signed the contract, the national army had already approached the Northeast with the help of the US sea and air transport forces.In name, the US aid to Chiang Kai-shek was just a continuation of various aid programs, and it was logical that Stalin had nothing to criticize.

But starting from late September, the competition for territory in Europe between the two powers of the United States and the Soviet Union not only became increasingly fierce, but the Soviet Union was still at a disadvantage.At the same time, the US Marine Corps successively landed in Tanggu, Qinhuangdao, and Qingdao.Although the slogan of the U.S. military is to assist the national army in accepting the surrender, its real purpose may be similar to that of the Soviet Union: reaching into the Northeast. The landing of the U.S. Navy in northern China was a dangerous signal, and Stalin began to feel uneasy: If the Kuomintang is allowed to successfully take over the Northeast, given the Kuomintang’s dependence on American aid, then for the Soviet Union, not only the plan to include the Northeast into its sphere of influence will be over, Moreover, the Northeast has also become a springboard for the United States to enter its own land.No, this is absolutely not possible. While the Northeast is still in its own hands, it must be handed over to the opponent of the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, and indirectly put the Northeast under its own control.

Therefore, Stalin tore up the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance" signed with the Nationalist Government, and directly ordered the CCP to move north quickly—as soon as the Soviet Red Army withdrew from the Northeast, you entered, and this place was handed over to you. To this end, Stalin did three things. First, the national army is prohibited from entering the Northeast - you cannot come until the Soviet Red Army has not retreated. Second, delay the withdrawal time - isn't your CCP army unable to reach the Northeast for a while?It doesn't matter, the withdrawal time of the Soviet Red Army will be pushed back. When you arrive, the Soviet Red Army will withdraw again.

Third, most of the weapons, ammunition and military equipment seized from the Japanese army were transferred to the CCP, and the Soviet Union took only a small part-the best part. The attitude of the Soviet Union really followed the domineering style of Tsarist Russia. The Soviet Red Army then forcibly searched and blocked the Kuomintang's party, government and military institutions in the Northeast, and firmly tied the CCP to the warship.At this time, the CCP, which did not really believe in Chiang Kai-shek and was ready to seize power by force at any time, also made up its final determination and dispatched troops to the Northeast. The leader was Lin Biao, who had just returned from the Soviet Union and had not fought in seven years.Lin Biao will write the most glorious page of his life between the white mountains and the black waters.

The current situation is exactly what Chiang Kai-shek likes to see.He didn't mean to talk about peace in the first place, and the peace talks were just a way to accumulate strength and delay the attack. In June 1946, Generalissimo Jiang made a statement: eliminate the Communist Army in the pass in three months, and solve the Northeast issue in six months.Let's fight! The cold war between the two giants of the Soviet Union and the United States in the Northeast opened the prelude to the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Generalissimo Chiang's plan was to initially "solve" the Communists within nine months.But I have to say that his plan is not feasible.Because his real strength is much weaker than he imagined, and the real strength of the Communist Party is much stronger than he imagined.

The seemingly powerful Generalissimo Jiang has three fatal weaknesses. Weakness one, the Kuomintang often has internal strife, its cohesion is not strong, and its strength is large but not strong. The direct line, the Guangxi line, Yan Xishan, the CC line, the Blue Shirt Club, the political studies line, etc., are endlessly fighting for power and profit.The Anti-Japanese War was an excellent opportunity for Chiang Kai-shek to integrate various factions, but he did not seize it.After he was defeated and fled to Taiwan, he finally got rid of the factional struggles within the Kuomintang and completely controlled the party, government, and army.

Weakness two, he did not solve the survival problem of Chinese farmers. In a country where productivity is extremely backward, farmers account for the absolute majority of the population, and land is heavily consolidated, land is the only means of production for farmers. Without land, farmers will have no way of life.It was only after Generalissimo Chiang lost to Taiwan that he understood this truth, so the first major thing he did in Taiwan was land reform. Weakness three, corruption is rampant, this is his biggest weakness. Corruption, a terrible thing, is naturally not a specialty of the Kuomintang, but a problem that will arise in a society ruled by man.Leaders have the final say on everything, and the power of leaders cannot be effectively supervised and restricted. Power without supervision and restrictions is a breeding ground for corruption. At the end of any dynasty, serious corruption is always the straw that breaks the camel's back.Because officials, big and small, are sensible people and know that the government will not be able to survive, so they all try their best to earn enough money, so corruption is out of control.There is really no need to say more about the various corrupt deeds of the Nationalist government officials, because from ancient times to the present, the performance of corrupt officials is more stable than the chemical properties of diamonds.Here is just a brief talk about the straw that broke the camel's back. It is said that on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Minister of Finance Kong Xiangxi packed up and left because of the "U.S. dollar bond fraud case".Lao Kong wandered on the banks of the turbulent embezzlement river for a long time, and finally got his shoes wet. The so-called good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.Not only did Chiang Kai-shek record the detailed amount of Kong Xiangxi's corruption in his small diary, but even Fu Sinian, a famous scholar outside the circle, knew the general plot of his corruption and stood up to report and expose him. In 1942, in order to meet the growing demand for military expenditures, the national government used US$100 million of the US$500 million in US loans to China that year as a fund to issue "Alliance Victory US Dollar Bonds" to the whole society to raise funds. As a result, Kong Xiangxi worked hard on it. More than 11.5 million US dollars was raised, and one-ninth of the total fund disappeared. In contrast, Song Ziwen, another financial expert, has a cleaner ass.According to the introduction of scholar Wu Jingping in his work "Fudan-Hoover Modern Chinese Characters and Archives Research Series", "Song Ziwen's Life and Documentation Research", in the 1940s, Song Ziwen's property was about 2 million US dollars, more than 20 Two years later, when Song Ziwen died in 1971, his non-fixed property was only more than one million US dollars, plus the real estate that had greatly appreciated in value in the past two decades, it was only seven to eight million US dollars.Of course, the fact that Song Ziwen does not engage in corruption does not mean that his source of wealth is glorious.Because a considerable part of his wealth came from the investment return of China Construction Bank Corporation under his command in the national industry, commerce and financial industry during the Anti-Japanese War. The reason why Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen are compared here is because after Kong Xiangxi was dismissed, Song Ziwen came back to power and took over the role of the other party, serving as the president of the Executive Yuan and the chairman of the Supreme Economic Council. The financial foundation that Kong Xiangxi left to Song Ziwen was about 900 million U.S. dollars (a considerable part came from U.S. loans) and 6 million taels of gold.On the surface, things look pretty good.So Song Ziwen is very ambitious, and he has the confidence to do a big job.But he didn't realize that what was in front of him was definitely not a golden road. After the Nationalist government took over the Japanese puppet regime, the first problem it faced was to unify the financial order, how to do it?Send the legendary imperial envoy—"receiving officer"—special commissioner or receiving committee member, to the occupied areas to receive Japanese and counterfeit property for the national government and recover counterfeit coins. There are various ways to receive the properties of Japanese puppets, such as confiscating, auctioning, discarding, destroying, and so on. The way to recover the counterfeit currency is much simpler—to exchange the legal currency issued by the national government itself for the counterfeit currency issued by Wang Jingwei according to a certain ratio.This method is not new. The Japanese and Wang Jingwei both played it back then. What is new is the exchange rate. The ratio of the Japanese exchanging the military vouchers issued by them for legal currency was one to one. Wang Jingwei exchanged counterfeit currency for military vouchers at a ratio of one to two. And the national government's current ratio of legal currency to counterfeit currency is one to two hundred! In other words, two hundred counterfeit coins can be exchanged for one French currency.And, it's still one size fits all.Regardless of whether the local price index is high or low, the exchange ratio is always one to two hundred.You must know that the average price index in the enemy-occupied areas at that time was much higher than the average level in the rear. For example, the price index in Shanghai was about 50 times that of Chongqing. Let's do a math problem about "robbing". Xiao Ming, a reception officer sent by the Nationalist Government, brought one-yuan legal currency to Shanghai, the occupied area, and then a Shanghai citizen, Xiao Mao, exchanged the one-yuan legal currency in Xiao Ming's hands with two hundred counterfeit coins. Question 1: Assuming that the purchasing power of one yuan of legal currency is equal to that of one yuan of counterfeit currency, how many times is Xiao Ming’s income from this business trip?How many times has Xiao Mao's property shrunk?What is the ratio of gains and losses between Xiao Ming and Xiao Mao? Answer: About 200 times, 200 times and 40,000 times. Question 2: How does Xiao Ming put two hundred times the income into his pocket? Answer: You can conceal it.Because the central government does not know how many enemy counterfeit properties and counterfeit coins there are. Countless properties are held in the hands of officials who lack supervision, and the despicable side of people will be manifested unscrupulously.If one Xiao Ming is rich in private pockets and no one cares about it, more Xiao Ming will join in, and it will spread rapidly like an infectious disease. Now the question is, who set up this insane exchange ratio? According to Zheng Huixin, a scholar of the history of the Republic of China at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, in his work "Decision-making Process on the Exchange Method of the Puppet Central Reserve Bonds after the War", this magical exchange ratio was thought up by the receiving officers.As for Song Ziwen, who was supposed to control the country's financial and economic decision-making power, he was very busy during that period and had no intention of asking about this matter.He was busy negotiating the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance" at first, and then he was busy negotiating post-war assistance with the United States. He didn't pay attention to the recycling of counterfeit coins at all, and he had an inescapable leadership responsibility for this matter. Then again, you don’t need to pay too much attention to the specific process of generating this exchange ratio. You only need to look at the ultimate attribution of benefits—receiving officials, and you can know with your heels that this absurd exchange ratio is big or small. The result of the joint efforts of small corrupt officials. The corrupt officials of the national government filled their pockets and turned into millionaires, very satisfied.However, those "bourgeois elements" in the occupied areas who were bullied by corrupt officials, the original loyal supporters of the national government, were very dissatisfied: instead of letting the corrupt rule of the Kuomintang turn us into proletariat for the Communist Party, it is better to take the initiative to join the Communist Party. Living under the clean and centralized rule of the Communist Party should not be more terrible than living under the corrupt rule of the Kuomintang and becoming nothing! The hearts of the people in the occupied areas are greatly lost! However, for the Kuomintang, this is not the worst news. The worst news is: a series of economic policies after the start of the civil war caused the Kuomintang to lose the hearts of the people in China! After the civil war began, the received enemy and counterfeit industries (equivalent to about 10 trillion French currency) were consumed, the loans and military supplies (a total of more than one billion US dollars) that Song Ziwen obtained from the United States were spent, and the cash flow left by Kong Xiangxi was also consumed. used up.Even so, military and administrative expenses remain high, and the fiscal deficit grows wildly.No way, war itself is the most expensive thing in the world, not to mention that there are so many corrupt Kuomintang officials and local warlords working together to increase administrative costs for the country? ! However, after the eight-year all-out war of resistance, the power of the people has been exhausted, and the government can no longer raise funds through the issuance of public bonds to raise military and political expenses.Under such circumstances, in order to fill the financial black hole and raise military expenditures, the national government could only borrow money from the central bank.As a result, Song Ziwen ordered the central bank to print more banknotes and increase the circulation of legal tender. People with common sense know that the inflation of legal currency (increased circulation) will lead to soaring prices, which in turn will accelerate the depreciation of legal currency, and the depreciation of legal currency will cause a sharp drop in purchasing power, and the lack of purchasing power is mostly made up by printing more money... This is A vicious cycle.As a financial expert, Song Ziwen naturally understood this truth.In order to stabilize the legal currency and the economic situation, Song Ziwen resorted to a unique trick - selling gold and US dollars, that is, clearly marked prices such as one tael of gold for 160,000 French currency, and one dollar for 2,000 French currency. Hot money, recovering part of the legal currency, controlling the inflation of the legal currency, stabilizing prices, and stabilizing the economy. Under normal circumstances, Song Ziwen's trick is also a good solution.But Song Ziwen ignored a problem, a fatal problem.He didn't expect that once the central bank's money printing machine was tied to the chariot of the civil war, it would move forward in the torrent of torrents and could not stop at all. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the circulation of legal currency was about 500 billion. By the beginning of 1947, the legal currency had increased to 3.5 trillion. However, Song Ziwen spent half of the treasury’s gold and dollar reserves, but only recovered less than 1 trillion legal currency. .That is to say, only a small part of the legal currency returned from the sell-off.In the face of the still rapidly increasing legal currency, Song Ziwen's approach has hardly had any effect. What's more terrible is that the Fuzhong Company and Yangzi Company controlled by the Song and Kong families also participated in this sell-off, snapping up gold and U.S. dollars with a total value of about four million U.S. dollars.This gave Song Ziwen's political opponents such as the CC Department and the Department of Political Science an excuse to criticize: not only did you, Song Ziwen, fail to do a good job, you actually transferred state property into private pockets! It is tolerable or unbearable!Even Fu Sinian published "Song Ziwen Must Go Away" and other great articles, telling Song Ziwen to leave quickly! When I first introduced Song Ziwen, I mentioned that he has a bad personality and is not very popular, so it is normal for people to throw trouble. No matter what, Song Ziwen could only choose to resign. After Song Ziwen left, the war continued, the legal currency was still printed, and the economic situation continued to deteriorate.As a result, the newly appointed financial experts began to think of ways.Recalling that in 1948, when the issuance of legal currency soared 1,200 times compared to the end of the Anti-Japanese War, and the total amount reached 6 trillion, when inflation was out of control, experts finally thought of a way: overthrow the legal currency Start again, that is, use the famous "golden coupons" instead of legal tender. The main operation method is as follows: One is to forcibly require the people of the whole country to exchange all foreign currencies such as gold, silver, and U.S. dollars, as well as French currency they hold, into banknotes——gold round coupons, and those who violate them will be confiscated.Everyone in the world knows that ordinary banknotes are far less reliable than hard currencies such as gold, silver and US dollars, not to mention banknotes with an uncertain future like gold round coupons, who would be willing to exchange them? The second is to freeze prices.Use national coercive means to prohibit raising prices and stockpiling goods, so as to prevent inflation and depreciation of gold coupons.Forcing a businessman whose nature is to make money to do a loss-making business, which businessman is willing to do it? How can such an economic policy, which has no regard for human nature, succeed in robbing ordinary people and destroying the jobs of businessmen? ! Sure enough, some people stood up and resisted—refusing to exchange gold dollar coupons, stopping the sale of goods, and hoarding a large amount of goods. Under such circumstances, the famous Chiang Ching-kuo "fighting tiger" incident in modern history was born.Jiang Jingguo came to Shanghai to deal with disobedient businessmen.As a result, Jiang Jingguo took care of Du Yuesheng's son Du Weiping, but because of Song Meiling and Song Ailing's protection and obstruction, he failed to get Kong Xiangxi's son Kong Lingkan, and the "tiger fight" operation failed.The confidence of the Chinese people in the gold coupons collapsed. The legal currency has fallen, and the gold round certificate has not been established, and the national economy has collapsed. The last bit of support of the common people for the cause of the Kuomintang disappeared simultaneously with the failure of the reform of the "golden coupons". For Chiang Kai-shek, the only good news is that under the duress of confiscating the violators, about two million taels of gold were recovered through the gold coupons, which were later shipped to Taiwan. In fact, through Chiang Kai-shek's diary, we found that he was very aware of the corruption of the Kuomintang, but he was timid, worried that correcting the corruption of senior officials would lead to complicated political problems, so he wanted to wait until the country was unified before slowly eradicating corruption.It is said that Generalissimo Chiang, after his defeat in Taiwan, once said a word about his anti-corruption experience-the Party will perish if you fight corruption, but the country will perish if you don’t fight corruption. Although Generalissimo Chiang understood a lot of truths after his defeat in Taiwan, they were all hindsight and did not help resolve the current situation.At this moment, the Communist Party has completed preparations for a strategic counteroffensive. The eight years of the Anti-Japanese War were the eight years of the growth of the Communist Party. Politically, the "three-three system" was implemented in the composition of the administrative organs in Yan'an - Communist Party members accounted for one third, leftist progressives accounted for one third, and middle elements and other elements accounted for one third. To put it simply, one-third are members of the Communist Party and two-thirds are non-Party people.That is to institutionalize the concept of "multi-party coalition governance" advocated by the Communist Party, which is very noble. As a result, the people of the whole country were surprised to find that this group of "communist bandits" called by the national government actually advocated democracy, and they had no shortage of ideals and beliefs! A large number of patriotic youths and intellectuals who were originally in the Kuomintang-controlled area fled to Yan'an, and came to this dilapidated inland town standing on the barren loess high slope.Among this group of people was a movie star who was once famous in Shanghai. She was tall, good-looking, divorced, and she was a quasi-a-list star at the time. Her name was Li Yunhe.But at that time, everyone was more familiar with her stage name - Lan Ping.During a performance, Lan Ping walked into Mao Zedong's life by chance, and the two, who were 21 years apart, fell in love.Later she changed her name to Jiang Qing. Economically, the government of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region no longer took the route of "struggling with local tyrants and dividing up the land", but instead relied on its own resources for military settlements.The most famous of them is Wang Zhen's 359th Brigade. They were transferred to Nanniwan, put down their weapons, picked up hoes, opened up wasteland and cultivated land, and built Nanniwan into a good Jiangnan in northern Shaanxi. The changes in the military are even greater. After taking over the Northeast, the number of soldiers and horses has increased to 1.27 million, with an astonishing momentum. Politics, economy and military are trinity, supporting and guaranteeing each other.If there are problems in politics and economy, there will be problems in the military as well. The civil war was actually a replica of the Anti-Japanese War. The Communist Party's approach to the Nationalist government was exactly the same as the Nationalist government's strategy against Japan. The national government at this time was like Japan a few years ago. The front line was too long, and the speed of the front line was much faster than that of Japan. It took over most of the country in just a few months.As for the Communist Party, which concentrated its forces in one corner, the Kuomintang did not concentrate enough superior forces to attack in a short period of time.On the contrary, the Communist Party, which does not aim at occupying land, has deeply grasped the tactical essence of "breaking ten fingers is worse than cutting off one". Its main purpose is to annihilate the enemy's vital forces, and it continues to consume the vital forces of the Kuomintang through mobile warfare. More importantly, the Kuomintang chose the decisive battlefield by mistake-the Northeast.The Communist Party has a superior military force in the Northeast, and has a strategic depth-controlling about 90% of the rural areas, and the support of the Soviet Union, so it is difficult for the Kuomintang to take the Northeast.However, the Kuomintang invested a huge force in the Northeast in an all-out effort to win, so that the defense of North China was empty.Therefore, once the Northeast cannot be held, North China cannot be held.One wrong step, one wrong step. The order of confrontation between the main force of the Communist Party and the main force of Chiang Kai-shek's five trump cards is as follows: The first decisive battle, in May 1947, was the Battle of Menglianggu. Chen Yi and Su Yu fought against Zhang Lingfu for three days and three nights. The East China Field Army surrounded and annihilated 26,000 people from the reorganized 74th Division with 160,000 people, and Zhang Lingfu died in the line of duty. The second decisive battle, in September 1948, was the Battle of Liaoshen. Lin Biao concentrated his absolutely superior forces to besiege Pan Yukun's New First Army and Liao Yaoxiang's New Sixth Army, and the New First Army and New Sixth Army were wiped out.Liao Yaoxiang was captured and Pan Yukun fled to Hong Kong. Where did Sun Liren, former commander of the New First Army go?He was dismissed from the position of army commander a year before the Liaoshen Campaign because of the factional disputes in the army. Pan Yukun, a fourth-year student from Whampoa, took over. Sun Liren later went to Taiwan. The third decisive battle, in November 1948, was the Battle of Huaihai. Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping besieged Hu Lian and Huang Wei's 18th Army with superior forces. The 18th Army was wiped out, Huang Wei was captured, and Hu Lian escaped.Later, Hu Lian defeated the People's Liberation Army in the "Battle of Golden Gate". The fourth decisive battle still took place in the Battle of Huaihai. Chen Yi and Su Yu faced Du Yuming and Qiu Qingquan, the Fifth Army was wiped out, Qiu Qingquan committed suicide, and Du Yuming was captured. The five powerful armies that fought against the Japanese in the dark are forever lying on the land of Northeast China and North China. When Mao Zedong learned that the Fifth Army was destroyed and the Huaihai Campaign was won, he knew that he would win, and he couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face. Of course he has reason to be proud.Back then, the high-spirited young scholar on the banks of the Xiangjiang River, after going through so many hardships and obstacles, finally supported millions of troops and controlled half of the country.His thoughts must have drifted far, far away at that moment... After the decisive victory in the Battle of Huaihai, the Battle of Pingjin came to an end. Fu Zuoyi, who had long been at odds with his boss Yan Xishan, chose to revolt peacefully.After that, it is advisable to chase the poor bandits with remaining bravery, and a million soldiers cross the Yangtze River. On October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China was established! Two months later, the 62-year-old Chiang Kai-shek boarded the plane at Fenghuangshan Airport in Chengdu. With tears in his eyes, he waved goodbye to the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, leaving history with a lonely figure far away from his homeland. The four-hour journey was not long. What was long was the 26 years that followed when Chiang Kai-shek lived on the isolated island of Taiwan and never returned to the mainland. Everything is just a passing cloud, the world is infinite, it is easy to see and difficult to see in other times! ... Looking back suddenly, it has been sixty years of vicissitudes, and the grievances and grievances have long gone with the wind and rain. In the turbulent torrent of history, behind the rivalry between the two heroes is actually the dream of their own country. Those who realize their ideals are great, and those who break their dreams in Jinling are also heroes. What the common people really hope for is a prosperous country and a peaceful people, with ample food and clothing.The entire history of the Republic of China is full of blood, tears and groans of the common people.If under the new historical conditions, the land of China is able to see no soldiers and no wars, it will truly be the luck of the nation and the common people! Fortunately, today's China is no longer the country that was perfunctory and bullied a hundred years ago. The hard work and dedication of all the people, the patience and hard work of several generations, have finally brought us the confidence we have today.The previous blood debt will be repaid by the invaders vomiting blood.But please remember, my friends, whether at home or abroad, whether at the ends of the earth or at the ends of the earth, China is the only reliable country that can protect the Chinese people.With the rejuvenation of the nation and the strength of the country, this ability will become stronger and stronger. I am very fortunate to be born at this time and to be able to experience the era of rejuvenation with the great Chinese nation. May you and I see the king of China in the world again in our lifetime.
