It can be seen from the published text: Two years ago, we always boasted about "the vast land and rich resources", which is a fact; soon we stopped boasting, and only hoped for the League of Nations[2], which is also a fact; now we neither boast nor believe in ourselves. League of Nations, changed to One Taste Seek God God Worship Buddha [3], Nostalgia, past, injury, present - but it is also a fact.So some people sighed and said: The Chinese have lost their self-confidence [4]. If we look at this phenomenon alone, self-confidence is actually lost long ago.I believed in "land" and "things" before, and later I believed in the "League of Nations", but I never believed in "myself".If this is also considered a kind of "faith", it can only be said that the Chinese once had "his faith", and since they were disappointed with the League of Nations, they have lost this power of his faith.

If you lose your trust, you will be suspicious. If you turn around, maybe you can only believe in yourself, which is a new way of life, but unfortunately it gradually becomes mysterious.Believe that "land" and "things" are still tangible things, and the League of Nations is slim, but this can make people realize that it is unreliable to rely on it before long. When you come to ask God to pray to Buddha, you can find it when you come to it. There is benefit or there is harm. Undistinguishable, clear, fruitful, it can make people more long long-term anesthetized themselves.The Chinese are now developing "self-deception".

"Self-deception" is not a new thing now, it's just becoming more and more obvious now, covering everything.However, under this shroud, we have Chinese people who have not lost their self-confidence. Since ancient times, we have had people who worked hard, some who worked hard, some who pleaded for the people, and some who sacrificed their lives to seek the law... Although it is the so-called "official history" that is equivalent to the genealogy of emperors and generals [ 5], and often cannot hide their brilliance, this is the backbone of China. There are so few people of this kind even now?They have confidence and do not deceive themselves; they are fighting one after another, but one side is always being destroyed, obliterated, and wiped out in the dark, which is not known to everyone.To say that the Chinese have lost self-confidence can be used to refer to some people, but if it is applied to the whole, it is simply slander.

When talking about a Chinese, one must not be deceived by the self-deceiving makeup painted on the surface, but look at his bones and spine.The existence of self-confidence is not based on the article of the champion prime minister. You have to see the ground yourself. September twenty-fifth. CC [1] This article was originally published in the third issue of the first volume of the semi-monthly "Taibai" on October 20, 1934, signed by Gong Khan. 〔2〕The League of Nations, the abbreviation of the League of Nations, is an international intergovernmental organization established in 1920 after the First World War.It advertises its purpose of "promoting international cooperation and maintaining international peace and security", but it is actually a tool controlled by imperialist countries such as Britain and France to serve their aggressive policies.In April 1946, it officially announced its dissolution.After the September 18th Incident, Chiang Kai-shek delivered a speech in Nanjing, claiming to "temporarily adopt an attitude of resignation, pending the axiom of the League of Nations."The Kuomintang government also appealed to the League of Nations many times, demanding to stop the aggression of Japanese imperialism, but the League of Nations took a position of favoring Japan.After the investigative team it sent to my country's Northeast to investigate, in the "Report of the League of Nations Investigative Team" published, it actually believed that Japan had a special status in China's Northeast, and said that its aggression against China was "justified and lawful".

[3] Praying to God and worshiping Buddha At that time, some bureaucrats and "celebrities" of the Kuomintang held "Kalachakra Dharma Conference" and "Renwang Protecting the Nation Dharma Conference" in some big cities in the name of praying for "rescuing the country from disaster". 〔4〕The Chinese have lost their self-confidence , since there is nothing left, and the country is already on the verge of spiritual disillusionment without waiting for foreign aggression." 〔5〕 "Official History" Qing Gaozong (Qianlong) ordered a total of twenty-four biographical history books from "Historical Records" to "Ming History" as official history, that is, twenty-four histories.Liang Qichao said in "The Revolutionary Case of Chinese History": "The twenty-four histories are not history, but the family tree of the twenty-four surnames."
