This year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). Let's look back on the glorious course we have gone through. In the early days of the People's Republic of China, China's economy was backward and people's livelihood was depressed. However, the party and the people rose to meet the challenge. In just three years, the national economic recovery, land reform, three major transformations and the first five-year plan began to change the backward appearance of China's industry and agriculture, peacefully liberated Tibet, and won the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which proved with strength that "the era when several cannons conquered China is gone forever". However, because the government and people were eager for success, they mistakenly launched the Great Leap Forward and the People's Commune Movement, and because Mao Zedong left his thoughts in his later years, he launched the "Cultural Revolution", which made our country turbulent for ten years. This chaotic situation was finally broken at the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party. Deng Xiaoping put forward the great decision of reform and opening up, implemented the household contract responsibility system and established special economic zones. China has "taken a vigorous new step", regained Hong Kong and Macao, resumed its legitimate seat in the United Nations, joined the WTO and held APEC meetings ... China stands in the east of the world as a big country like a soaring dragon!
Looking back on the ups and downs of the past 60 years, earth-shaking changes have taken place in China. Although the government and people made mistakes in the process of ruling, today, we see a powerful China. This suffering mother, dressed up by the sons and daughters of the motherland, has become dazzling. Today, we are proud of many achievements, such as the completion of the third Antarctic research station, the successful launch of Shenzhou 5, No.6 and No.7 spacecraft, many people in China won the Nobel Prize, and China scientists are leading in some high-tech fields. China is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations. With the growth of national strength, China's status in the world is getting higher and higher, and it has established diplomatic relations with many countries. Many foreigners want to get China's "green card". The rapid economic development has gradually swelled the pockets of the people all over the country, and the conditions of food, clothing, housing and transportation have improved significantly. The level of culture and art is "a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend", and many folk arts have been protected; Brilliant achievements in sports; Ranked in the top three for several consecutive Olympic Games, and the dominant events have great influence.
After 60 years' efforts, China has become the sixth country in the world in comprehensive national strength, with an average annual GDP growth rate of 10%, and stands among the nations in the world as a big country. Far from it, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games fully demonstrated the strength of our country. 2001July 3 1 day, when Samaranch announced that the host city of the 2008 Olympic Games was Beijing, the people of the whole country were boiling and looking forward to the arrival of 2008. The slogan "New Beijing, Great Olympics" put forward by Beijing is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the theme of "Green Olympics, High-tech Olympics and People's Olympics" is recognized by the world. After eight years of preparation, Beijing welcomes the Olympic Games with a brand-new attitude: the magnificent Bird's Nest, the Water Cube, the home-away service in the Olympic Village and the elegant environment in Beijing make foreigners feel the charm of a country of etiquette, and the grand and ingenious opening and closing ceremonies amaze foreigners. At the Olympic Games, China athletes fought bravely for the first place, and finally ranked first in the gold medal list with a good score of 5 1. The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games realized a century-old dream, increased economic income and improved China's international reputation. China has proved with strength that the label of "the sick man of East Asia" of China people has long been thrown into the Pacific Ocean, and since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), China has also changed from a backward country to a pivotal country.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games made the whole world appreciate the cultural and artistic style of China, an ancient civilization, and also made many foreigners sincerely admire it. Some foreigners even study China culture. I can't help wondering, our culture is so splendid, why was the country invaded by foreign powers instead of being respected before the founding of the People's Republic of China? Now I finally found the answer, that's because we are not strong enough. A country must be unified to be strong, and it must be strong to be respected by other countries. We used to be extremely powerful in history. Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty was once the largest city in the world. But since the Opium War, because we are not strong enough, our land has been severely trampled. During the September 18th Incident, due to disunity between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the three northeastern provinces fell into enemy hands. Since China's * * production party unified China, no one dares to discriminate against us. With the growth of national strength, our precious culture has also been valued by the world. If there is no new China, our country will continue to be in chaos. At that time, even if we had a glorious history, it could only be called a humiliating history. So we should thank the producers and the great people of China.
On the occasion of the 60th birthday of my motherland, I want to celebrate her birthday and wish her more and more beautiful and peaceful forever. "If a teenager is strong, the country will be strong." We should be brave after knowing shame and shoulder the heavy responsibility of building the motherland. We will forget the past, rush to the future and move towards a more brilliant tomorrow.
