The neighbor next door has changed! Afghanistan, known as the cemetery of the empire, is finally waiting for the end of the civil war and the dawn of peace. From October 7, 2001 to the present 2021, a full 20 years have passed. There are a few more decades in life. A generation of Afghans are old or killed in the war.
Invasion of Afghanistan
As for Afghanistan, although it is China’s land neighbor, we don’t understand it. My only impression of this place was chaos! And when I read the history of modern China carefully and learned about the history of Afghanistan, when I cast my sights on this land again, only sympathy was left in my eyes. Because Afghanistan’s current situation is just like the history that China once experienced, bullying by big powers, invasion by foreign powers, country fragmentation, government reduced to a foreign comprador, high-level people living and dreaming, and low-level people struggling to survive. The evil deeds committed by the invading forces such as the United States and Australia in Afghanistan are just like the evils committed by the Japanese, British and French powers on the land of China.
The war in Afghanistan
Now, Afghanistan is finally waiting for the hope of peace. But whether Afghanistan can usher in real peace and embark on a peaceful and prosperous road is still a huge question mark? Regarding the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, the general perception is that there is a bit of a brush in war, and the country is governed by politics, then hehe. How should Afghanistan be governed in the future? Where is Afghanistan?
Just now, I said that seeing Afghanistan today may be able to see a bit of the shadow of the old China. Now Afghanistan is about to end the war, just like China in 1949. Perhaps the future governance of Afghanistan may be studied in 1949. Chinese experience.
Celebrating the peaceful liberation of Peking in 1949
01 Peaceful liberation of Peking
The first step to learn is the experience of the peaceful liberation of Peking.
On February 3, 1949, the ancient imperial capital was accompanied by a grand and solemn entrance ceremony.Usher in a new life. Beijing, formerly known as Yanjing and Peiping, should have been called Ji when the city was first built. The history of the city can be traced back to the early years of in the Western Zhou , and it has been 3000 years! It was the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties that truly brought this ancient city to life. As the national capital and the seat of the capital, Beijing has carried China's dynasty for nearly 700 years! Here, the first national government established by ethnic minorities was proclaimed. It was here that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty accepted from all nations. It was also here that they fell to the hands of the great powers for the third time and turned them into purgatory on earth. Strong and prosperous, but also decayed, lonely, self-conscious.

From to the Westernization Movement to the Revolution of 1911 to the establishment of the national anti-Japanese united front, there is the shadow of an ancient city behind it. The profound history makes this city condensed with China There are too many emotions, and every change of her affects the heartstrings of the Chinese people. Anyone who destroys Beijing will bear a heavy historical debt and record it in the memory of the nation. Because of this, the peaceful settlement of Peking is so precious. Looking at the world, this peaceful liberation is also a rare experience.
What is the strategic significance behind the peaceful liberation of Peking, which is worthy of our further study?
Peking into the city style
First and foremost the first point: conform to the hearts of the people
In addition to being called the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing also had the title of Shuntian Mansion, which means Shuntian Mansion. Although there are feudal superstitions behind it, it expresses the simple pursuit of the ancients to comply with the fate of the people. The peaceful liberation of Peiping fits the hearts of the people, and it also corresponds to the ancient name of Beijing’s Shuntian Mansion. It has a wonderful sense of understanding through the ages inexplicably.
To conform to the people's aspirations means to think what the people think and what the people want. What did the Chinese people want in 1949? Peace! The long-term war has devastated this land,The hard-won peace has made the people cherish and desire even more. The peaceful liberation of Peiping was the release of a signal of peace, and as the memory of the capital of the previous dynasty and the capital for nearly 600 years, the peace signal released by Peiping can be described as a nuclear bomb level, awakening the people of the whole country and helping to solve the problem quickly. China has made an important foreshadowing.

Second and second point: Thunderbolt means, Bodhisattva's heart
Peking Peaceful Liberation is a model of combining military strikes and political struggles. It confirms the old saying that the so-called thunderbolt means bodhisattva's heart.
Behind the peaceful liberation of Peking is the result of the hard work of countless people. The most important point of this is the victory in the offensive and defensive war in Tianjin. 130,000 people cannot defend a big city, no matter how much more. What about people? This is a thunderbolt method used to deter the enemy, and it is precisely under this deterrence that the Beiping and Suiyuan methods have been produced, which has contributed to the peaceful liberation of the two places!
In the early stage of the war, military strikes were the main focus, and political struggles were the supplementary. When the superiority was gained, the heart attack was the top priority, and the siege was supplemented. The one who defeats others in battle is the one who is good and the good. Therefore, the army will attack the army, then the army will be attacked, the army will be attacked next, and the city will be attacked. The method of siege is a last resort .
The right time, choosing the right method of war, and promoting peace as much as possible, may be the essence of war.
War not only has the thrills of wartime, but also the devastation after the war
The last point: protect national wealth
The United States evacuated from South Vietnam when a large number of people fell in Saigon Fleeing is accompanied by the loss of a large number of talents and the outflow of wealth. To a certain extent, the rise of the Asian four little dragons has a certain connection with these fleeing Vietnamese.This is a huge loss for a new country that is poor and white. If it can be peacefully liberated, perhaps the loss of wealth in this country can be minimized.
The fall of Saigon
The 21st century as a whole is still an era of peace. In the era of peace, what resources are sustainable and sustainable for a small country? The answer is tourism resources! It does not require too much investment or destructive exploitation of nature. It is completely within the tolerance of a small country. For a country’s capital, there must be a certain amount of history. There are historical sites and the peaceful liberation means that these historical sites are all Can be preserved intact.
Ancient China built too many magnificent buildings, such as Afang Palace, Han Chang'an, Daming Palace, etc., but they were all reduced to ashes in the flames of dynasty change and can only be recovered from posterity A glimpse of the once magnificent. If it can be peacefully liberated, how shocking it would be for these monuments to survive to this day! For the country, what kind of wealth.

02 Shanghai Financial War
The second step to learn is the experience of Shanghai financial war.
On May 12, 1949, the Battle of Shanghai started. It took only 16 days. On May 27, 1949, Shanghai, a heavily defended fortress, was declared liberated. However, the smoke of war has not yet completely disappeared, and economic struggles The undercurrent is already raging.
In the early morning of May 28, the winning People’s Army slept on the streets of Shanghai
When Shanghai was liberated, the Central Bank still had 6,180 taels of gold left. The wealth carried away by the Kuomintang According to publicly available historical data, As many as 2.775 million taels of gold, 15.2 million silver dollars, and 15.37 million U.S. bills, these are hard-earned money of the people, but they were easily raided and shipped abroad. Banks are out of money, markets are out of stock, and hyperinflation is imminent.
As early as 1948, Chiang Ching-kuo landed in Shanghai to carry out financial reforms. The folks joked about beating tigers, but he failed miserably. During the reign of the ancient dynasty, Chiang Ching-kuo's status was properly crowned prince, but he couldn't beat the local tigers across the river. It is conceivable how deep the water was behind Shanghai in 1949. By the time Shanghai was liberated, this most prosperous city in modern China was an international metropolis built by the National Government with half of the efforts of the Nationalist Government. All industries were shattered, prices soared, and the hard-working people were impoverished and opportunistic capitalists sat on the ground to make money. The rise is a match for the doubling of the wealth of the rich in a certain country during the epidemic. The country’s identity number is not reported here, as everyone knows.
The whole of Shanghai is caught in hyperinflation, and the price soaring is appalling. The whole world is watching. The whole world does not believe that anyone can govern Shanghai well. The then US Secretary of State Acheson exclaimed that the new regime cannot solve the economy. The problem cannot solve the problem of eating for the Chinese people.
At this time, the Shanghai financial war is not only related to the fate of the city of Shanghai, but also bears the burden of whether the new regime can establish a firm foothold across the country.

Behind the Shanghai financial war, what kind of experience can we learn? I am not a financial professional, and I don’t understand the doorway. Compared with history, I have summarized a few conclusions for your reference. This conclusion is that if you want to win the financial war, the core is to stabilize people's hearts, the key is to stabilize the value of the currency, the focus is on to stabilize the price of , and the ultimate goal is the smooth operation of the market. To win a financial war, the core secret is to stabilize people's hearts. The financial market does not essentially have any value backing. It relies on the people who participate in it to buy and sell continuously. When people's hearts are stable, the financial market will also be stable. Behind this, from the currency system to the price of goods, a sufficient supply of materials is needed to ensure this kind of stability of people’s hearts.Without the support of a stable and unified huge market, no matter how prosperous the financial market is, its ability to withstand risks is also fragile. This is why the small Southeast Asian countries were swept away by the 1997 Asian financial turmoil, but they were unable to overcome stability. With a huge market in China, thanks to the unification of the country, the people’s property can be safely retained in the hands of the people.
