2022 is destined to be an extraordinary year for our nation. During this year, we encountered many difficulties, but we also created many miracles, overcame many hardships and dangers, but also gained a lot of success. Of course, there were also countless sorrows.
2022 is coming soon. What do you have to say? (This article was originally written by Bo Dong, the author of the headline)
Among the most sad things, the death of Chairman Jiang, a kind and honest elder, is undoubtedly the biggest loss of our nation in the past twenty years. As a person born in the 1980s, I am sorry to say that when I was young and vigorous, I really had some doubts and misunderstandings about this old man. But more than 20 years later, looking back, I realized that some of the things I questioned and misunderstood at that time were really thanks to this honest elder who led us forward, so that we would not lose the direction of our efforts on the journey to the great rejuvenation of the nation.
When Chairman Jiang was still alive, he once made a small summary of his decades in politics in public. He said that he had never done anything big in his life, and that all he had done were trivial things. If he had to summarize these small things, he himself gave an incomplete answer.
Chairman Jiang talked about the three "little things" he did, and his voice is still there. (This article was originally written by Bo Dong, the author of the headline)
He believes that among these small achievements, the first is the establishment of a socialist market economy; the second is the decision to include Deng Xiaoping Theory in the party constitution; and the third is the important thought of "Three Represents." He also added that if there were any achievements to be made, it would be that "the military must not engage in business" and "the fight against the 1998 floods."
Let’s take a look, are these really small work achievements? This is the modesty of his old man. He himself said that he was very ashamed, but the ones who were even more ashamed should be those of us who misunderstood and questioned him back then. The establishment of a socialist market economy has led China to prosperity and strength; the inclusion of Deng Xiaoping Theory in the Party Constitution has greatly enriched the theoretical basis for our country's governance, and of course it is also a theoretical basis for a more open and global perspective; the important thought of "Three Represents" concisely and comprehensively summarizes the fundamentals and foundation of the Party's governance. Each of these three so-called "little things" is indispensable in our great journey.
Everyone should review it. (This article was originally written by Bo Dong, the author of the headline)
"The military must not engage in business" further establishes the purity of the military in protecting the homeland and the country, preventing a few people from profiting from it, affecting the image of the party and the country, and affecting the combat effectiveness of the military. The unprecedented flood disaster in 1998 was resisted by 300,000 people's soldiers who defended their homes and country with their flesh and blood. I remember that year, when the floods were flooding, Chairman Jiang was not afraid of hardships and went to the front line of flood fighting. How many hearts were inspired and how much fighting power was gathered.
However, in my opinion, there is another thing that Chairman Jiang did not say, but I think it is his greatest contribution to this country and nation. His decision must have been very difficult at the time, but he still endured some possible waves and made the decision. In the end, it brought more than 20 years of peaceful and stable development environment to the Chinese nation, and only then did the Chinese nation enjoy its current prosperity.
A major move to purify the people's army. (This article was originally written by the headline author Bo Dong)
At 23:45 in the evening on May 7, 1999, local time, and in the early morning of May 8, Beijing time, when the Chinese people were still sleeping, a B-2 bomber departed from the United States and flew to Belgrade, the capital of Yugoslavia. It headed towards No. 3 Cherry Blossom Road, New Belgrade, Belgrade. The Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia launched five joint direct attack munitions (JDAM, GPS-guided), killing and injuring more than 20 staff of our embassy in Yugoslavia.
After the bad news came back to China, more than 1.25 billion Chinese people were indignant. People spontaneously held demonstrations and went to the US Embassy in my country to express their great anger and strongly condemned the barbaric act of the United States bombing the embassy, which is a symbol of sovereignty. Faced with such a situation, the U.S. government finally downplayed the explanation that it was a mistaken bombing. It completely ignored the feelings of the Chinese people and was indifferent, arrogant and cruel.
History we should not forget. (This article was originally written by Bo Dong, the author of the headline)
At this time, Chairman Jiang is faced with a dilemma. If the anger of the people across the country is calmed down, the bad behavior of the United States that violates our sovereignty seems to be a kind of cowardice and connivance. In this case, how will history be written? What will people say about him? But if there is a head-on confrontation with the United States, whether it is economic or military, is it possible for us to win at that time? If the order for confrontation is given, Chairman Jiang's personal reputation will be preserved, but what about the development of the country and nation, and the happiness and well-being of the people?
I don’t know how Chairman Jiang spent those difficult days and nights, but I seem to be able to clearly feel the difficult choices he made. In fact, the essence of the problem is just one. Should Chairman Jiang choose the overall interests of the country and the nation, or personal gains and losses, honor and disgrace?
The spirit of fighting against the 1998 floods will last forever. (This article was originally written by Bo Dong, the author of the headline)
Later history gave us a clear answer. Chairman Jiang gave up personal gains and losses, honor and disgrace. He apparently "knocked out his teeth and swallowed his blood" and endured the doubts and misunderstandings of many people in our nation, including mine.
What was the scene like in China at that time? Of course, it is much better than China in the old era and the era shortly after the founding of New China, but it is only better vertically. In horizontal comparison, we are still a big country with a weak but large population.
The anger of the Chinese people spread at that moment. (This article was originally written by Bo Dong, the author of the headline)
In 1999, my country's GDP was only more than 9 trillion yuan, only 11% of the United States, but it had a population of 1.25 billion. Many areas in the central and western regions were quite poor, and the people's living standards were still relatively low. At that time, the United States had US$79.63 trillion, ten times that of ours. It was still the only superpower in the world with advanced science and technology and a very high level of economic development. There were many countries and regions in the world that followed its lead.
Under such circumstances, if we confront each other head-on, the consequences and the future of the country and nation can be imagined.
The "bright sword" spirit is indeed a beautiful spirit. It can inspire people's courage and boost people's morale, but is it feasible to "brighten the sword" without considering any consequences? On the contrary, fully considering the overall development of the country and the nation, being able to endure the unbearable "non-dark sword" may not look so glamorous on the outside, but it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the entire nation.
Liangjian is a kind of spirit. (This article was originally written by Bo Dong, the author of the headline)
Chairman Jiang chose to sacrifice himself to serve the overall interests of the country and the nation. He led the Chinese people, endured humiliation and released goodwill with the United States, restored old friendships, and was not afraid of the puzzled eyes and critical tone of the world. In the end, he bought a peaceful and stable development environment for our suffering nation for more than 20 years.
And this, I think, is the greatest contribution of practical significance that he has brought to our country and nation.
On November 8, 2022, the heads of state of China and the United States met in Bali. The current President of the United States Biden jogged onto the stage and shook hands with us with a smile. I don’t know if you saw this detail.
You should remember this trot.(This article was originally written by Bo Dong, the author of the headline)
I was thinking at the time, if Chairman Jiang really showed his sword back then, would such a situation still happen? Is it because we are still struggling on the poverty line and have no chance to be on an equal footing with the United States? Not to mention the 80-year-old American president trotting towards us.
More than that, we now have considerable strength to say "no" to the United States. Today's China is no longer the China of the old era, nor the China of 1999. And this is also the huge wealth that Chairman Jiang brought us by bearing the humiliation.
I'm sorry, Chairman Jiang. I would like to express my sincere apologies to you. I sincerely wish you rest in peace, be with the mountains and rivers, and live forever! It will last forever, coexisting with the mountains and rivers. (This article was originally written by Bo Dong, the author of the headline)
