This is a masterpiece that discusses the future of China's Anti-Japanese War. It influenced many people at the time. Not only the Chinese, but also Japanese and even Japanese soldiers.

It is said that there was a Japanese officer who changed from a staunch militant to an anti-war because

read this article by Chairman Mao, and organized anti-war demonstrations in Japan many times.

Chairman Mao Why did write this article? I have to talk about from the anti-war situation of at home and abroad at that time. "On Protracted War" was written in May 1938, and was delivered at the Yan'an Anti-Japanese War Research Conference from the 26th to the 3rd of the following month.

In order to write this article, Chairman Mao consulted a large amount of domestic and foreign materials and war theory works . When I was writing, I didn't sleep for two days and nights. When I was really sleepy, I would wash my face and wake up. corresponds to the sentence of : "I am better than you and I work harder than you. What qualifications do you have to lie down?"

I wrote in eight or nine days . The first draft was written and revised day and night. After several times, I finally gave a public lecture on on May 26th. "On Protracted War" was officially released.

July 7th is the first anniversary of China's Anti-Japanese War. In the past year, the Japanese army has successively captured Peiping, Shanghai, Nanjing and other places. The situation of the Anti-Japanese War is still grim. Every Chinese nation struggling for the survival of its own nation longs for victory in the war every day.

However, what is the process of war ? There are two important views here, the theory of quick victory and the theory of national subjugation .

The main reason for the theory of national subjugation is that the gap in weapons and equipment is too great, and the war of resistance will inevitably fail. This is a typical weapon-only theory that denies human subjective initiative. This argument was very common at the time.

People who hold the theory of quick victory always underestimate Japan, and overestimate their own status in the hearts of others. Placing the hope of the Anti-Japanese War on help from foreign countries, and the Soviet Union sending troops instead of seeking help from itself, is doomed to be in vain. People in the world like to add icing on the cake. How many people can help when it is timely?

Although the final victory of the Anti-Japanese War must belong to the Chinese people, Why is this so? said this is too empty for ordinary people. We need to enrich it so that more people can understand why. It is of great significance to increase the people's confidence that they will win.

Based on this, Chairman Mao wrote the hugely influential "On Protracted War" , which became the beacon that led the Chinese nation to victory in the War of Resistance.
