"Xinhai Revolution" after viewing
The film "Xinhai Revolution" tells the story of the bourgeois-democratic revolution that broke out in China in 1911 (the third year of the Qing Dynasty's Xuantong). It took place on the basis of the increasing decay of the Qing Dynasty, the further deepening of imperialist aggression, and the initial growth of Chinese national capitalism. Its purpose was to overthrow the autocratic rule of the Qing Dynasty, save the nation from peril, and strive for the country's independence, democracy, and prosperity. This revolution put an end to China's 2,000-year-long absolute monarchy and was a great revolutionary movement. The Xinhai Revolution was a bourgeois-democratic revolution in the relatively complete sense of the word in modern China. Politically and ideologically, it has brought liberation to the Chinese people that cannot be underestimated. The revolution made the idea of a democratic republic deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle was carried out in greater depth and on a larger scale with the Xinhai Revolution as a new starting point.
I watched such a movie yesterday, and after watching it, I deeply admired the positive revolutionary spirit of those revolutionaries, especially that Lin Juemin, when he was tried, the judge asked him, your appearance is also good, you are talented, and your family background is also good, but why do you still want to participate in the revolution? Such a question to ask himself, at that time the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, and always signed some unequal treaties with other countries, and it was also at such a moment that I found out that in fact, the moment when revolution was really needed, those enthusiastic people still hoped for revolution, hoping that the Chinese could live a good life, so they worked hard, so they struggled, and a large number of revolutionary fighters emerged to fight non-stop, in fact, they were right, revolution is not bloodshed or sacrifice, but to let more people have a better life, not to be enslaved by others, to be free and happy people。 In this movie, there is a classic line that I wrote down on my mobile phone at the time, the revolution is like a doctor seeing a doctor, that is, to save the whole nation, at that time, the Qing government really needed revolution, but the Qing government did not support the revolution, so in such a situation, they had conflicts and contradictions.
The Xinhai Revolution successfully overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, put an end to China's feudal imperial system for more than 2,000 years, and ushered in a new era of democracy and republicanism. On February 12, 1912, the Nanjing Provisional Government was established, a new government was established, under the persuasion and persecution of Yuan Shikai, the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty Cabinet, and other ministers, the Empress Dowager Longyu, the mother of Emperor Puyi, accepted the "preferential conditions" of the Qing Dynasty, issued the "Edict of Abdication", announced the abdication of Emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty, and authorized Yuan Shikai to organize a provisional republican government. However, in the end, Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the victory of the revolution.
One of the uprisings of the Xinhai Revolution was called the Wuchang Uprising, and after the success of the Wuchang Uprising, the whole country was shocked, and the news reached the United States, and Sun Yat-sen and the members of the League rejoiced. Huang Xing and Xu Zonghan were immediately sent to the Wuchang battlefield, which greatly boosted the morale of the revolutionary army. He did not hesitate to defend the three towns of Wuhan flying the red flag of revolution with his blood and life. After so many baptisms of blood and fire, the relationship between Huang Xing and Xu Zonghan continued to sublimate, and the two decided to become a revolutionary couple and continue to fight side by side.
This period of history was also read in our history textbooks, at that time we didn't know much about such a period of history, but we knew some of the results at that time, after watching such a movie, we felt that in fact, such a movie is very interesting, showing the activities of the revolutionaries, especially the uprisings and wars held at that time, I always felt that the Xinhai Revolution was a war without bloodshed and sacrifice, it was a silent change, but no, I also saw it very deeply in the movie, in fact, they were also using their own blood to fight, to fightThis revolution made a great contribution to changing the fate of the Chinese people who were enslaved. After the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government, under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen, a series of political and social reforms were carried out, and many decrees were promulgated that were conducive to the development of the economy, bourgeois democratic politics, and cultural education. Now that New China has been established, there is no need for revolution, but the spirit of revolution must not be forgotten, and we must conscientiously inherit it, because it is still useful and meaningful today.
At the critical juncture of the revolution, Sun Yat-sen also went overseas, overcame public opinion, and finally persuaded the Western consortium to stop borrowing loans to support the Qing court. At this time, the Qing government also had no money, a government had no money, what to use to fight, just like Yuan Shikai said at that time, war needs money, how to buy those equipment, how to buy weapons, how to fight, I really don't know how to fight such a war, it takes silver to fight, in this clip of the movie, I found out that in fact, the Western consortium is indeed a key, I don't know why, why the Western consortium will lend money to the Qing government, but in this case, the Qing government has not done it, maybe it is for those interests。
After an open and democratic election of representatives from 18 provinces, Sun Yat-sen was elected as the first president. When I saw Mr. Sun Yat-sen say that "as long as Yuan Shikai urges the Qing Emperor to abdicate, he can abdicate, and the person who forced the Qing Dynasty to abdicate will become the president of the Republic of China", my heart was deeply shocked by Mr. Sun Yat-sen's selflessness and feelings for the country and the people. He is really a good person for the people, for the interests of the people, and he can not be such a great president, so after reading it, I am also very moved, can we have such a person to fight for China, will we still be afraid? We are happy, there are so many people with lofty ideals who work hard. In the whole film, it has always been called Sun Wen, in fact, Sun Wen is Sun Yat-sen, a person with two names. In addition, the Three People's Principles he put forward are "nation", "civil rights", and "people's livelihood". The Xinhai Revolution is still of great historical significance: the Xinhai Revolution was a great bourgeois-democratic revolution in China's modern history. It not only overthrew the decadent rule of the Qing Dynasty and put an end to China's 2,000-year-old feudal monarchy, but also dealt a heavy blow to the invading forces of imperialism.
After watching such a movie, I have a deeper and more thorough understanding of such a historical event, which is really a great revolution, although I don't recognize some of the characters in the film, but that kind of revolutionary enthusiasm has been infecting me and deeply affecting me. I was also deeply touched by their spirits.
