Memorabilia of China in 1949
The year 1949 was a witness to history and a victory for the people. On January 15, the dawn of Tianjin appeared, and the bell of liberation echoed in the sky. On January 31, the gates of Peking were opened, and the doves of peace flew above the blue sky. Finally, at 3 p.m. on 1 October in the golden autumn, the solemn proclamation of the People's Republic of China resounded in the sky, and hundreds of millions of Chinese stood tall in the east of the world.
On October 9 of that year, the first meeting of the First National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was solemnly held in Beijing, like spring seeds sown in the field of hope. And on October 19, the third meeting of the **People's Committee** was held, like the pen of a wise man, outlining the grand blueprint of **people** and appointing the leaders of various organs of the **people** of the People's Republic of China.
On December 15, the first day of the winter day was to visit the Soviet Union. In his speech delivered at the station, he pointed out in a sonorous and forceful manner that our main task is to consolidate the world peace front headed by the Soviet Union, resolutely oppose the provocateurs of war, and develop the profound friendship between the Chinese and Soviet peoples. This is the firm stand of the Chinese people and the firm voice of world peace.
And on December 31, the Communist Party of China issued the "Letter to the Frontline Soldiers and Compatriots of the Whole Country". This document was like a good news of victory, announcing that in 1949, all Chinese mainland had been liberated, except for **, and the enemy army had been annihilated by up to 2.6 million people. This is a brilliant victory for the Chinese people, a witness to history, and a hope for the future.
China stood up
In 1949, the reactionary rule of imperialism and the Kuomintang in Chinese mainland was completely overthrown. The People's Republic of China has been firmly established, and the glorious combat mission of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Chinese people in 1950 was to liberate Taiwan, Hainan Island, and **, annihilate the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek's bandits, and realize China's complete reunification.
We will not allow the aggressive forces of the United States to gain a foothold in any corner of our territory. With the victory of the war, the Chinese people have been able and will devote their main energies to peace-building work. In 1950, the Chinese needed to overcome the post-war financial and economic difficulties and resume industrial and agricultural production and transportation. This battle was an arduous struggle, but it was also an important milestone on the road to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The year 1949 demonstrated the Chinese people's indomitable and heroic spirit, as well as their firm belief in national unity. In this battle, the Chinese people showed strong cohesion and tenacious perseverance, and finally won the victory. This victory is not only the pride of the Chinese people, but also a great victory for all mankind.
The year 1949 proclaimed the defeat of imperialism and the leading forces, proving that only by uniting and working together can we overcome all difficulties and challenges. Today, we are standing at a new historical starting point and facing new opportunities and challenges. We will continue to uphold this spirit, constantly strive for excellence, and strive for the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
