history, but in comparison, Che Guevara is very long-lasting. He was one of the main leaders of the Cuban Communist Party and the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces. Since 1959, he has served as a senior leader of the Cuban government. But the cost of the revolution was heavy. After the defeat of Guevara in 1967, he was executed by the Bolivian government forces. Not only that, his hands were also brutally cut off and sent to the rear for identification. After his death, not only did the reputation of
not disappear, the portrait of Che Guevara also turned into a symbol of counterculture, which became popular all over the world, and people praised him for his dedication and his heroism. "Time" magazine also selected Che Guevara as one of the 100 most influential figures in the 20th century.
was born as a nobleman and entered the road of revolution
In June 1928, Guevara was born in a noble family in Argentina. Although the environment was good and the conditions were good since childhood, Argentina was corrupt at the time and the gap between rich and poor was huge, almost every day. There are poor people who starve to death.
When he was young, Che Guevara pursued "poetry and distance." During his college years, he often went out on cycling tours in pursuit of excitement and romance. The most impressive time was the journey around Latin America on a motorcycle with friends. At that time, the U.S. used Latin America as its own wealth base. A large amount of cheap labor and abundant natural resources accelerated the local polarization and the gap between rich and poor.
Along the way, Guevara not only saw the unique scenery of Latin America, but also saw the Latin American people living in fire and water, and remembered them in his heart. After the journey of
, Guevara wrote down what he had learned along the way. In the face of the suffering people, "Poetry and the distance" is no longer what he pursues. Guevara wrote in the diary: "The person who wrote these diaries had already died when they set foot on the land of Argentina again, and I was no longer me." After
, in order to change the current social situation, Guevara gave up the superior life, left the family, and came to the turbulent Guatemala. Because they were bullied by the U.S. hegemony, Guatemala’s revolutionaries just regained the occupied 8,400 hectares of land, but the U.S. refused to let go. While supporting the local counter-revolutionaries in terms of funds and armaments, they also used various high-sounding excuses against Guatemala. The revolutionary armed forces launched air strikes.
In the end, because the revolutionary forces were at a disadvantage, the United States took the land back. Even at the most critical moment, Che Guevara has always been with the revolutionary team. From a rich young master who has no worries about food and clothing to a qualified and tenacious fighter, Guevara's life experience can be described as subversive, so at a certain level, His spirit of daring to be the first and making breakthroughs has also become the vane of young people's pursuit.
overthrew the dictatorship and ushered in the curtain call of life
Because of his outstanding revolutionary status, Che Guevara was listed as a "dangerous communist" by the United States. In order to escape the pursuit, Guevara went abroad. By chance, he met the future leader of Cuba, Fidel Castro, in Mexico. The two had the same dream, and both had sympathy for the suffering people.
In 1956, under some conspiracy, the two formed a guerrilla group to resist the pro-American Baptiste regime that ruled Cuba. A single spark can start a prairie fire. With the continuous growth of the team, the Cuban armed uprising broke out in 1959, and finally achieved full success.
With the differences in ideals for the future road, Che Guevara finally left Cuba and came to the Congo in Africa in 1965, but everything was not going well. The local soldiers were lazy all day long and could not overthrow the pro-American regime. More unfortunately, during the period, Che Guevara was betrayed by his confidant and was arrested by the Americans in 1967.
Even in the face of death, the brave Guevara was not afraid. He even said to the executioner: "Shoot! Coward, what you want to kill is a man." After being shot six times in a row, the 39-year-old Guevara reached the end of his life. After his death, the body was even shown to the media. In order to verify his identity, the military doctor chopped off his hands. After the news of Guevara’s death spread, it shocked countless people and lamented the fall of a generation of great revolutionary men. Later, he began to become a hero in the Communist revolutionary movement in the Third World and a symbol of the Western left-wing movement.
sought after thought and insideTolerance is different, including a large audience of
, such a life of selfless dedication, so that Che Guevara has been praised by too many people. In the 1970s, the ideological trend of individual liberation and resistance to authority swept the entire world with the force of destruction. This pushed Che Guevara's thought of "I would rather stand to die than live on my knees" to a new level. The idea of
symbolizes the pursuit of individual freedom and is full of rebellion. In real life, Che Guevara often uses his meager power to fight against power. In the eyes of many young Westerners, it has a certain romantic heroism.
Therefore, Che Guevara is regarded as an idol and hero by them. In our current terms, it is almost the same as an "idol". His avatar was printed on anti-war flags and cigarette cases, and even rock singers sang songs with his name. Soon, Che Guevara became a global symbol.
At the beginning, the popularization of Che Guevara in our country was introduced as a fashion element through movies and western popular culture. After hearing about his deeds, many people who do not know him may also be willing to As a god in his heart, Che Guevara is collected and trusted as a "supporting force". Some of them, probably just because Guevara's looks are cool, they chose to support him and spread him.
Therefore, the "Image of Che Guevara" is no longer a single revolutionary. No matter where, there are a thousand Hamlet in the eyes of a thousand people, and all they trust are more or less heroic shadows in their hearts.
