The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue.

Have you ever heard about Warren Buffet, the second richest person in the world? Well, today I am not going to talk about him but his three kids.
For someone whose parent is such an extraordinarily successful investor, the three kids come out pretty ordinary guys. When they were young, they each received $ 10,000 a year. If they wanted to borrow more money form their father, they have to sign a written agreement. When growing up, however, they all found their lovely jobs-housewife, farmer, musician, instead of relying on their well off father.
It seems that they are unlucky to have a father who criticizes the self-indulgence of super-rich. But is it really true? No, absolutely not! In fact, they are grateful to him because they found their own passion which suits their true talent, and they are able to make money on their own.
So what could we learn from them? Three words: independence, responsibility, passion. Indeed we are fortunate to be protected by the whole family, but this cannot be the reason for us to become boomerang children.
Although we, the generation of 90s have been questioned from the day we were born: selfness and weakness, indifference and rebellion, sensitivity and pride, we are still pressing on with our creed: Yes we can. At a time when the earthquake happened in We chuan, we were praised by the whole public because of the bravery and determination we show during the process of rescuing. Yes we can. When the World Expo was held in Shanghai, the smile on volunteers’ faces impressed millions of people all around the world. Yes we can. When the two kids fell into the river, fifteen freshmen of Chang Jiang University saved them from drowning regardless of the truth that they cannot swim. Yes we can. We were there for the return of Hong Kong and Macao, the Olympic Game in Beijing, the 60th anniversary of founding of New China, and Premier Wen Jiabao who told the survivors in earthquake that “We shall overcome.” Yes we can.
As the only child in the family, however, some of us just like flowers growing in the greenhouse that take for granted, and parents will give them whatever they want, from toys to books, from watches to cell phones, from houses to cars. But apart from this, we have to be independent. Everyone is an individual. You are not your parents’ sequel. You are not your kids’ prequel. You have your own talents and you have to rely on yourselves.
Take responsibility. No one can support you in your whole life.

hello everyone!
Edgar Snow, an American journalist, went deep into China during the Sino Japanese War and interviewed the leaders of the Communist Party of China many times. He wrote "Red Star Over China", also known as "journey to the west".
"Red Star Over China" shows the unremitting efforts made by the Communist Party of China for national liberation, as well as their optimism, dedication, hard work and courageous spirit of the Red Army. Declare to the world that the red revolution of the Communist Party of China and its leaders is like a bright and shining "Red Star", and forever shines on the vibrant new China.
At the beginning of the book, it was written that many foreigners had great disputes about the Red Army, and Edgar Snow was also curious about it, so he went to China. When he came to China and saw the Red Army, snow was shocked. He was shocked by the unity of the Red Army and the firm will of the Red Army. What shocked snow was the "Red Devils". The youngest of them was years old, with an average age of years. Although they were young, they climbed snow mountains and crossed the grassland. They wrote magnificent songs of life with their unusual childhood.

hello everyone!
At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a lot of smoke and flames, but someone went against the fire, walked from the light into the dark, brought a little-known Red China to the world, and left a valuable book. He was Edgar Snow, an American journalist.
Nearly a century later, we, who live happily in the sun, won the Red Star Over China. This documentary record of the Chinese Red Army bit by bit, in the reading experience of history, harvest and growth.
This book vividly and vividly describes Red China. Although the Communist Party was encircled and oppressed by the Kuomintang outside the Soviet Area at that time, and the life in the Soviet area was very difficult, under this difficult living environment, the people still loved the Red Army very much. I think this is because the Red Army did not bully the people. Who will not love such a good army that thinks of and serves the people?
In the book, I also met many well-known leaders. For example, our greatest Chairman Mao.
My father told me the story of the Long March since I was a child. In this book, I really realized the long march spirit of the Red Army. Our Red Army soldiers never flinch, whether it is a lofty mountain or a fast river ahead. They are not afraid of difficulties and dangers and overcome many difficulties. They will never give up. This is the long march spirit of the Red Army. Since the Red Army soldiers can win, so can we.
Reading the Red Army shines on China, I feel the red world, feel the deeds of the Red Army and remember the spirit of the long march. I think this is what this work wants to tell us.
Thank you!

hello everyone!
After reading Snow's Red Star Over China recently, I was excited and realized that what can guide a person to pursue light is faith!
Snow's language is simple and sincere without too many modifying words. He not only recorded some revolutionary deeds, such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and he long, but also described major historical events, such as the long march. Let us know that although the living environment is very difficult and the living conditions are very difficult, people are still full of passion and high morale! What makes Communists so optimistic? What is supporting them strongly? The answer is faith!
Snow is a foreigner who takes risks in a difficult environment and risks his life to find the red footprint. It is also a belief.
It was with this belief that the spark ignited by the Communists finally became a prairie fire; It is with this belief that socialist China can finally stand on the world stage; It is with this belief that socialist China can bloom on the world stage.
I hope we will still be like before, like a child, with a star and a lamp to illuminate our way forward and our gray heart. After all, everyone is great with faith. Only those who have never touched the light can be so persistent in the light and the beautiful day.
Each of us should have our own faith and strive to pursue it. No matter what will happen in the future, grasp the present, don't forget our original heart, and live our most brilliant moment in the right way.
Thank you!

hello everyone!
The Red Star Over China describes a heroic history of resistance in modern China. A great revolution led by the Communist Party of China has brought about earth shaking changes in China. Thousands of flesh and blood build the great wall and share the common hatred of the Chinese soul. The most shocking chapter in this book is the long march - a legendary story.
The road of the long march was difficult and dangerous. The red army moved to more than half of China, spanning provinces. In the long road, the natural conditions were like a concealed weapon at any time, which wantonly attacked the huge team of the Red Army. The Red Army is not only faced with such seemingly simple acts as climbing snow mountains and crossing grasslands. The snow covered ridges all year round are bitter in the cold wind, and the valleys and rivers are turbulent and steep. However, in such a harsh environment, the Red Army soldiers still have the spirit of "Five Mountains meandering, small waves, Wumeng majestic walking through mud pills".
It was the firm belief and unyielding spirit of the Red Army that jointly shouldered the great revolutionary ideal.
I admire the Red Army because they put any material outside the spirit. They firmly believe that "a country without independence will have a bleak future for the nation". They awakened millions of Chinese people with the most practical actions. Their stories are well known, and their spirit shakes people's hearts.
Every Red Army soldier with only a pair of straw sandals and an earth gun, even without any education, has a common dream, so he embarked on the journey of the long march. I am deeply moved by them.
The long march spirit, like a shining red star, is shining on the world.
Thank you!

到达目的地，我们直奔向草莓园，迫不及待地去摘草莓。草莓要摘大个而且要鲜红欲滴的，有一点儿白都感到不是很好吃。
我摘了很多给小韩，因为他很小，大概三岁，我的篮里也不全是我摘的，有一些是一位戴着眼镜而且漂亮又年轻的姐姐摘的。
最后，我把篮子里的草莓分一点儿给那个姐姐，留下那些就是我的。分完之后，我洗了一下手，小韩给我个又大又稀奇古怪的草莓，好像是两个草莓连在一起生长的，我洗了来吃，哇，那么甜，我从来没有吃过这么甜的草莓，看来小韩真是一片好心啊。

hello everyone!
Under the blue sky, the red flag fluttered... Looking at the red flag reflected in the blue sky, I seemed to think of something again, so I took down a book with a red cover from the bookshelf full of books. On the cover is a line of striking English words: "Red Star over China".
Red Star Over China is a classic documentary work. It tells the story of American journalist Edgar Snow's experience of coming to China with many questions he can't understand.
The author Edgar Snow is an excellent journalist. It can be seen from the article that he also maintains his consciousness in China. With his skillful writing technique, we can use a third-party identity to understand China at that time one sidedly but intuitively.
In this book, the fragments about the Long March can be described as one of the highlights of this book. Since the failure of the fifth encirclement and suppression campaign, whether it is over the grassland or over the Lugou Bridge, I have a feeling of being on the scene when reading. In front of me, the words in the book seem to be moving pictures, telling us about the national migration
The Long March, when the Red Army talks about it, is called the "25000 mile long march". The long march has a long journey, poor environment and difficult walking, which is an amazing test of soldiers' perseverance. Indeed, the long march was a battle, a protracted battle.
However, without the Long March, China would probably be a closed and dark capitalist country. If there had not been this national migration, at least there would not be a Communist Party in China today. But for the Chinese people at that time, perhaps the Red Army was the hope, and what supported the Red Army soldiers was the hope and belief of the people.
The stars on the red flag refer to the people. The red star shining on China is the Communist Party of China!
Thank you!

Red Star over China, formerly known as a journey to the west, is an immortal masterpiece of American journalist Edgar Snow as a true desc ription of Red China. From June to October 1936, in the most ferocious and dangerous period of the Chinese revolution and war, snow ventured through layers of blockades and traveled a long way to the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia border region to find the story of Red China. He made a field visit to the revolutionary base areas in Northwest China, went deep among the Red Army soldiers and the common people, asked and handwritten, and made a deep understanding of the military and civilian life in the Soviet Area, local political reform He made extensive and in-depth investigation on people's conditions, customs and habits, wrote a large number of communication reports, became the first Western reporter to interview the red zone, and completed the writing of a journey to the West according to the first-hand materials he mastered.
The Red Star Over China has not only achieved great success in the political sense, but also become a model of similar works in the artistic techniques of Reportage Creation. The perspectives of characterization, environmental desc ription and narration have almost reached a magical level. In month, 19xx, Red Star Over China was first published in Britain. As soon as it came out, it caused a sensation in the world. In the first few weeks of its publication in London, it was reprinted times in succession and sold more than million copies. The book has been translated into more than 20 languages and spread all over the world.

hello everyone!
years ago, Red China was full of mysteries. With many questions about China's revolution and war, American journalist ed gasno went alone to this revolutionary strategic base, which was deliberately misinterpreted and tightly sealed like an iron wall. He explored Red China and compiled the true records of what he saw and heard into a book entitled "Red Star Over China".
Recently, I reread the classics, and my heart is still surging. The whole book vividly and richly describes the large and small characters and events in the red base area. By collecting the first-hand data of the 25000 Li Long March, he talked with the revolutionary leaders, and used the power of words to vividly present this magnificent and passionate years in front of us.
The scenes unfolded slowly like a picture scroll. Although there was no heavy color rendering, it was exciting.
The Communist Party of China and the revolutionary cause led by it are like a shining red star, shining not only on the northwest of China, but also on the whole China and even the whole world. years later, as the book said, the revolutionary cause has illuminated the whole of China, and China has embarked on the road of prosperity and strength under the strong leadership of the Communist Party.
When we sit in a bright room, when we accept the most complete education, when we are still busy with our lives, we may not realize that we are living a beautiful life full of sunshine and stability.
"Red Star Over China" reminds me that even in peacetime, don't forget that countless revolutionary pioneers once fought with their swords in the smoke of wolves, stood up the backbone of the nation when the people mourned the national war, and rushed through fire and water for our happy life today.
Thank you!

Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please, take a ood look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on your right. Now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. And you, in the middle? What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser Cum Laude.
"In fact, as I look out before me today, I don't see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. I don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers.
"You're upset. That's understandable. After all, how can I, Lawrence 'Larry' Ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions? I'll tell you why. Because I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not.
"Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college ropout, and you are not.
"Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not.
"And for good measure, because Michael Dell, No. 9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.
"Hmm . . . you're very upset. That's understandable. So let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. Most of you, I imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you've learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. You've established good work habits. You've established a network of people that will help you down the road. And you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word 'therapy.' All that of is good. For in truth, you will need that network. You will need those strong work habits. You will need that therapy.
"You will need them because you didn't drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to No. 10 or No. 11, like Steve Ballmer. But then, I don't have to tell you who he really works for, do I? And for the record, he dropped out of grad school. Bit of a late bloomer.
"Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, 'Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all?' Actually, no. It's too late. You've absorbed too much, think you know too much. You're not 19 anymore. You have a built-in cap, and I'm not referring to the mortar boards on your heads.
"Hmm... you're really very upset. That's understandable. So perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for you, Class of '00. You are a write-off, so I'll let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago.
"Instead, I want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you, and I can't stress this enough: leave. Pack your things and your ideas and don't come back. Drop out. Start up.
"For I can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down . . ."
(At this point The Oracle CEO was ushered off stage.)

英文版动物的故事 篇23
New York: I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5￠ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
My second story is about love and loss.
I was lucky - I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me - I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
My third story is about death.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.

hello everyone!
With all kinds of questions, I opened the door of the book Red Star Over China.
The book is divided into chapters, of which the most attractive to me are chapter - the origin of a communist and chapter - the long march.
The Communist in Chapter is China's great Marxist, a great proletarian revolutionist, and Mao Zedong, the core of the party's first generation of central collective leadership. In this chapter, Mao Zedong accepted Snow's interview and told his own experience of loving reading in his early years.
Chapter is about the long march. Without understanding the Long March, I mistakenly thought that the so-called long march was because the Communist Party was defeated by the Kuomintang, and the red army began the long march in order to retain the remaining Red Army soldiers. In fact, the reason why the Red Army soldiers made the long march was because of Chiang Kai Shek's five encirclement and suppression. Although in the first four encirclement and suppression campaigns, the Red Army soldiers skillfully used various tactics to hold their positions, seized the enemy's ammunition and weapons as supplies, and expanded their forces. However, in the fifth encirclement and suppression, Chiang Kai Shek used about million troops, thousands of small blockhouses, a large number of heavy weapons and flying fighters. Such fierce firepower forced the Red Army to choose the long march.
Seeing this scene, I can't help but think of a poem written by Chairman Mao Zedong - "the Red Army is not afraid of the difficulties of expeditions, and thousands of rivers and mountains are only at ease. The five mountains are winding with fine waves, and the dark clouds are majestic, walking through mud pills. The Jinsha water is warm on the clouds and cliffs, and the Dadu bridge is cold across the iron rope. I like the snow of Minshan Mountain more, and the three armies are happy after the war." we should really cherish our present life.
"I have no regrets to enter China in this life, and I will be a Chinese in the afterlife." I hope that the spirit of perseverance and courage to struggle of the Red Army soldiers can be inherited forever. I also hope that what people say in the future is not only "Red Star Over China" but also "China shines on the world".
Thank you!

hello everyone!
Among the books recommended by the teacher, "Red Star Over China" attracted me. The author wrote this book as a foreigner and a reporter, which shows the unremitting efforts of the Communist Party of China.
On the road of Chinese people striving for freedom and democracy, many international friends have given various forms of help to China. In the early stage of the party, due to the intervention of the Comintern and some unstable factors, the new Communist Party of China was faced with the situation of life and death for many times. However, the wisdom of the leaders has enabled the party to embark on the right path, establish an unswerving program, unite all forces that can be united, and carry out an indomitable and tenacious struggle for China and the Chinese people.
Only a government supported and supported by the people can let the country see the future. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people have not been repelled by the bayonets of the aggressors or frightened by the white terror of those in power. After countless people's bloodshed and sacrifice, more people bravely stand up and devote everything to their noble cause.
Under the circumstances of multiple attacks and blockades, the team led by the Communist Party of China is gradually growing. After the 25000 mile long march that shocked the world, no one can despise this irresistible force. All rumors about "ignorant bandits" are broken. This is a political party representing the broad masses of the people. It is a political party with persistent faith and strict discipline.
"Red Star Over China" can let us know that the Communist Party of China and its suffering, sacrifice, today's happiness comes from yesterday's struggle, and how many people's blood makes us brilliant today. History is painful. Fortunately, this situation will not happen again, but this history will always be preserved in the memory of future generations.
Thank you!
