On November 12, a grand rally was held in Beijing to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Inheriting the legacy of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and participating in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, this commemorative meeting releases this call to the Chinese people at home and abroad.
It is a long-standing tradition on the mainland to hold activities to commemorate Sun Yat-sen’s birthday on October 1st.
On the morning of the 12th, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, delivered a speech to representatives at home and abroad at the Great Hall of the People. The nearly 4,000-word argument was full of power. He highly affirmed Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s 40 years of struggle for the revolution and commemorated his immortal contributions to national independence, social progress, and people’s happiness.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen's ideals and struggles have inspired generations of Chinese people. Today, more than a hundred years later, how should we commemorate him?
One of the answers is to revitalize China. It is undoubtedly the common aspiration of all Chinese people at home and abroad to implement modernization, bring a happy life to the people, and let the results benefit all the people more and more equitably. Since the beginning of this year, in various commemorative activities across the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong, Macao and overseas, many representative people have mentioned that most of the Chinese modernization concepts planned in the "Founding Strategy" have been realized in China. Today, China must also contribute to building a community with a shared future for mankind.
Answer sheet two, unite as one. "The revolutionary cause was initiated by the people and was accomplished by the people." Mr. Sun Yat-sen emphasized "awakening the people" and continued to promote revolutionary ideas to the domestic people and overseas Chinese throughout his life. His achievements are deeply admired. Nowadays, the Chinese people are vigorously engaged in Chinese-style modernization, and in this historical process, consolidating and developing the situation of great unity of the Chinese people at home and abroad is the proper meaning of the title.
The third answer sheet is the reunification of the motherland. Mr. Sun Yat-sen's long-cherished wish of "national reunification" has yet to be realized. He exclaimed that "'reunification' is the hope of all Chinese people." He also visited Taiwan three times in person, leaving behind a revolutionary ideological fire that inspired Taiwanese compatriots under colonial rule and made many Taiwanese people firmly hold on to the hope of returning to the motherland. Today, Chinese people at home and abroad are concerned about and long for national reunification. The important statement at this year’s conference on “fully considering Taiwan’s actual situation and fully taking into account the interests and feelings of Taiwan compatriots” will surely make all parties at home and abroad feel the mainland’s sincerity in relevant dialogue and consultation.
Mr. Sun Yat-sen worked hard all his life and emphasized that "it is entirely our own responsibility to save China." Today, the sons and daughters of China take Dr. Sun Yat-sen as their teacher and strive to revitalize China. There is no better way than to continue his unfinished work and join hands to join hands in the great rejuvenation of the nation.
