**: Growing forests towards the sun.
Let's talk about a piece of history that many people may not be familiar with today. It was a story of money, politics and faith that took place in China decades ago. Did you know that in the difficult years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China borrowed a large amount of money from the Soviet Union to support the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and its own economic construction.
At that time, the world had just recovered from the ruins of the Second World War, and the Cold War had quietly begun. China and the Soviet Union, two big countries ruled by the Communist Party, are iron buddies on the surface, but everyone understands that on the chessboard of international politics, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.
At that time, China was suffering from internal and external troubles. In order to support the backbone of the new state, the leaders decided to lend a helping hand to the Soviet Union. Then again, you think, it was really not easy to find "friends" in those days who were willing to lend you money and provide arms support!After the contract was signed and the money was in hand, the Chinese People's Liberation Army used these resources to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and began to restore and develop the national economy.
But the good times did not last long, and by the early 60s, Sino-Soviet relations began to become tense. After Khrushchev came to power, he changed course, and the two originally like-minded partners drifted apart. Khrushchev exerted pressure on China to repay its debts as soon as possible - this is not a small number, but a big thing that affects the lives of thousands of families!
Appears very decisive in this case. He instructed to pay off the arrears as soon as possible. You think, it's not easy to make such a decision in that situation. After all, paying off debt means cutting back on food and clothing and tightening your belt. But the common people are not ambiguous, although the days have become tight for a while, but everyone has straightened their backs - for the sake of national interests, for sovereign independence, and for that self-esteem and self-confidence as a country.
In the end, after intensive and careful calculation, the Chinese people paid off all the debts in a short time!It can be said that a lot of experience and lessons have been learned in financial management. Although there was a slight reduction in fiscal expenditure for the time being, it contributed to a more efficient and rational economic management system in the long run.
Looking at the motherland that is thriving today, you may feel that these historical events are far away from us. But don't forget, there are a lot of little-known, obscure, but extremely important efforts and sacrifices behind the stable life we enjoy today. That period of history has left us with a valuable lesson: no matter how difficult and dangerous the obstacles we encounter, as long as we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
And finally?Paying off debts has become one of the opportunities for the improvement of Sino-Soviet relations in the new era, and also marks a solid step forward for China in self-reliance and adherence to the principle of independence. Therefore, history is worth remembering and Xi, and it can always provide us with a beacon-like guide on the road ahead.
