On May 4th, 100 years ago, more than 3,000 students in Beijing raised a demonstration of the white banner parade to protest against Paris and the Chinese delegation of the Chinese delegation.China's future thoughts.This new cultural movement upgraded by the patriotic movement has brought a huge and far -reaching impact on China.Today, a century later, the blood and hard work of the country and the people, and the deep self -introspection of social culture, is still a powerful force to promote the progress of the country, which is worthy of our remembrance.And the future of Taiwan.
The fuse of the outbreak of the May 4th Movement was that after the end of the First World War, the powers in Paris sent the rights and interests of Germany in Shandong to Japan. At that time, Duan Qirui's Beiyang government intends to sign and agree.The people are angry.The Peking University students headed by Naxinhe made 3,000 more than 3,000 flags, and 13 colleges and universities were launched on May 4th.The ambassador Zhang Zongxiang and others.Cao Zhai was hit by the marching students, and Zhang Zongxiang was beaten.This parade ignited the fire of Laguhara, and there were many places of demonstrations, strikes, and strikes. Under the resentment of the nation's boiling people, the Beiyang government finally refused to sign.
On the surface, this is a protest that defends national sovereignty, but its background is that intellectuals and people who are intellectual and wise are getting angry about the weakness of the country's weakness, and longing for the country to cheer up.Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, China has signed many unequal treaties under the oppression of the powers. The Chinese have been invaded by foreigners to seize the benefits of sovereignty on their own land, and the heavy humiliation of national shame is deeply bone.At that time, 90 % of the population was illiterate China. It was a lot behind the knowledge of military, industry, science, and medicine. This backwardness also brought a sense of shame.Starting from this period, China received more Western civilizations, and the most knowledgeable knowledge elites have been exposed to the country's backwardness and humiliation. Driven by blood and mission, they began to challenge the status quo and reform the system.
This kind of reflection on China ’s Shen Yan and the pursuit of national progress are politically being a revolution led by Mr. Sun Yat -sen, the father of the founding father., Build a brand new country.Culturally, the introduction, stirring and argument of various new trends of thoughts have caused fundamental shaking to the Millennium traditional culture and thinking model.Hu Shi and Chen Duxiu used the new youth magazine as the position, and advocated the new cultural movement as Li Dazhao, Lu Xun, Liu Bannong, Qian Xuan, etc., and used Mr. De and Mr. Sai as the name of the English.Essence
At that time, the Chinese were deeply shameful about the oppression of the powers. They hated iron and steel with weak backward countries. They were generally eager for the country to strengthen the people. In this era, Paris has detonated the May 4th movement like a match, which also encouraged the traditional culture.Deeply criticized the new cultural movement.However, China's destiny is not as smooth as the expectations of the May 4th Xianxian. Although Shandong was returned to China in the end, the Shenzhou mainland was suffered in a continuous turbulence.Mainland China has fallen into two sides of the strait.With the support of the United States, Taiwan has gradually moved towards the Western democracy and freedom system. After the disaster of the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, the mainland began to open its economy and rises rapidly on the international stage.
Today, the two sides have embarked on different systems, and there are also differences in ideology and thinking models.To some extent, the two sides seem to be Mr. De and the other is Mr. Sai.Taiwan gets rid of the authoritarian system and moves towards democratization, and has obtained the world's affirmation; the one -party dictatorship of the mainland emphasizes the love of the party and patriotism, but it has achieved results in governance efficiency, economic and scientific and technological development.However, when the May 4th ancestors proposed to Mr. De and Mr. Sai, they believed that the two were two wheels that promoted national progress and civilization. They should complement each other.
The status quo on both sides of the strait is actually a competition between the two systems, and it can also be regarded as a historical game between Mr. De and Mr. Sai on the Chinese land.The advantages and disadvantages of the two systems are clearly presented in front of the world, and they can also compare people on both sides of the strait.This kind of competition does not need to be a situation where you die, and the two systems do not necessarily have to reprimand each other. If you can understand each other and gradually make the system in the system, the result may be the common progress of both parties and the distance between each other.And this process can promote the integration of the system.The May 4th leaders who shouted the reform a century ago were eager to be prosperous, social progress, and the people's well -being. Today, we are not holding the same dreams, and continue to adhere to the pursuit of May 4th to continue the national fire species.
