In modern times, China, which was weakened in modern times, was once powerless to fight back when the great powers invaded, but today's China, which is gradually becoming stronger, is based on the fact that countless revolutionary martyrs shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for the future of China, desperately defending the rivers and mountains and safeguarding the dignity of the nation, so we often say: "Forgetting history means betrayal." ”
