Today 1st of October, 2020 is the Chinese people's National Day. It is a proud day for all Chinese people. Today China and the Chinese people celebrate its 71st National Day. Most former colonial countries oppressed and exploited by the western imperial countries for centuries will join China and the Chinese people in jubilation to celebrate this happy occasion. The success of the Chinese Revolution in overthrowing western and Japanese imperialists had provided impetus, hope and courage for these ex-colonial countries great determination to drive out the European and American imperialist oppressors and exploiters. Kudos to these ex-colonial countries for at last they really succeeded in driving out the western colonialists and imperialists and achieved independence.
The success of the Chinese Revolution did not come easy. The fight against the atrocious and evil western and Japanese imperialists was long and agonizing. The Chinese fight and struggle against the European imperialists led by England, France, Russia and Germany and the American and Japanese imperialists began in the 1830s and in the Opium Wars of 1839-1842 and 1856-1860. In these long fight and struggles China faced the formidable forces of the combine military forces of the European, American and Japanese armies. China was defeated and humiliated and the wanton brutalities and atrocities of the imperialists took the lives of more than 30 million Chinese people in addition to the great lost of properties and the lost of millions of square miles of Chinese lands and territories forcibly grabbed by England, Russia, France, Germany and Japan. The subsequent imposition of war indemnities by each and every of the imperialist countries caused China to lose hundreds of millions of Chinese silver dollars that went on to impoverish China for decades. With the success of the Chinese Revolution on October 1st, 1949, Chairman Mao Tsetung stopped this indemnity payment and ended the outrageous robbery of the Chinese people.
That first revolution against the western imperialists ended in outrageous failure. In the 1900s to1911 Doctor Sun Yatsen carried out another planned revolution against the Qing Dynasty and the western imperialists. Dr. Sun could not succeed earlier in the 1900s because just as in the Taiping Revolution of the 1850s to 1870s the western imperialist powers did not support him because they did not want to see a strong united China which could eventually curb their diabolical extra-territorial rights, their enclaves, concessions and their priviledges. Though Dr. Sun eventually succeeded in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty in 1911, his revolution was in a precarious position because western , American and Japanese imperialists still had very strong influence in Chinese politics, military and economic affairs. Many of the ex-Qing army generals assumed the power as warlords in the provinces under their command. They collaborated with the foreign imperialists for their own selfish interests and paid only lip service to Dr. Sun's national central government.
When Dr,Sun died prematurely in 1925 his chief general Chiang Kai-shek assumed full control of the Kuomintang government. Chiang Kai-shek was most incompetent and highly corrupted. His government indulged greatly in nepotism and cronyism. He placed one of his brother-in law Sung in charge of industries, trade and commerce and another Kung in charge of monetary, currency and finance. Chiang himself was in full control of politics and the military. In short national affairs was ruled in semblance as his own private family affairs. He and his most corrupted pro-American wife had great influence over him.
In the meantime the Japanese imperialism and outrageous aggression against China increased greatly under the background of a choatic disunited China where local warlords were fighting among themselves with the objectivity of hoping to achieve full national control eventually. Also western extra territoriality still exists in some Chinese large cities in Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanking, Tienjin, Amoy and Canton.
During this chaotic period providence would have it that China evolved with some of the most brilliant and intelligent patriotic force to save the country from destruction. It was the formation of the Chinese Communist Party led by founding members who were completely devoted and delegated to the build up of a strong and powerful united China that will have honour, dignity and command great respect from all both friends and enemies. The founding members of the Chinese Communist Party were Professor Li Ta-chao, Professor Chen Tu-hsiu, Chairman Mao Tse-tung, Chou Enlai, Chang Kuo-tao, Chu Chiu-pai, Chu Teh and many others of about sixty of them.
The first Chinese Communist Party Congress was held secretly on July 1921, at a girls' boarding school in the French Concession of Shanghai. In this first congress there were two different views regarding the focus of the revolution. One view led by Professor Chen Tu'hsiu followed the Russian communist concept of using the industrial workers in the cities to foment the revolution. The other view held by Professor Li Ta'chao stressed the importance of the peasantry which constituted more than ninety percent of the population which occupy the principal position and agriculture was still the basis of the national economy. He said in estimating the forces of the revolution strong emphasis must be laid on the peasantry which was a very important part. Professor Li Ta'chao was later captured and executed by the traitor warlord Chang Tso'lin on April 28, 1927. Professor Li Ta'chaos work passed on to his young assistant Mao Tse'tung who carried on the peasant struggle and put his mentor's idea into practice.
Chairman Mao Tse'tung had a formidable task in carrying out the revolution. He not only had to focus on fighting the Japanese invaders and the Chiang Kai'shek Kuomintang clique but also had to contend with the pro Soviet Russian faction who were bent on using city industrial workers to drive the revolution. It was soon learnt that city industrial workers were easily lured by the Japanese and Chiang Kai'shek and massacred in great numbers far too often. Therefore Professor Li Ta'chao and Chairman Mao Tse'tung's aggrarian peasant revolution at last won all support. It must be stated that Stalin of Russia had no intention of supporting Mao Tse'tung to achieve a strong united China. He like the imperial western countries hope China under Mao and Chiang would be forever involved in never ending struggles to the benefits of Russia which still hold millions of square miles of Chinese lands in Siberia and Outer Mongolia. At the same time Chiang Kai'shek's Kuomintang had great support from the United States which provided his armies with arms, planes and finance. On the other scale of the calculation corrupted Chiang had no support from the Chinese masses. More then ninety percent of the Chinese population both in the cities and the aggrarian countryside strongly and faithfully supported the Chinese communist cause of the revolution. This massive undivided support of the patriotic Chinese people was decisive in ensuring the success of the Chinese Communist Revolution in achieving and forging a strong and powerful united Chinese nation no longer to be trifled with by the Western , American and Japanese imperialists.
However, in this moment of great joy and jubilation in celebrating China's 71st National Day, China and the Chinese people must not forget the great sacrifice of those Chinese people and patriots who died in the cause of the revolution to save the great Chinese Civilization, the great Chinese people and nation and Chinese honour, self-respect and dignity.
On this Chinese 71st National Day on Thursday, 1st October,2020, let the country and all proud Chinese people drink three three toasts to the spirit of the selfless leaders, the soldiers in the arm forces of the army, navy and airforce which include the missile-rocketry unit, the Chinese scientists, engineers and technicians who contributed immensely to the success of the revolution and the great masses of the supportive population whose patriotic support was imperative for the great grand success of the revolution.

The above are China's First Generation leaders.
China is fortunate to be blessed with subsequent highly qualified and just as competent and delegated Second Generation leaders led by Deng Xiaoping, Third Generation leaders led by Jiang Zemin, Zhu Rongji and Hu Jintao, Wen Jiapow and Fourth Generation leaders led by Xu Jinping and Premier Li Ke Qiang.
With the rogue and banditry country of the United States now adopting very highly hostile policies to contain China's progress and development this Fourth Generation leaders are more than competent and delegated to defend China's interests and sovereignty. The US desperately wants to impose a New Cold War on China which will benefit nobody but will be very detrimental and destructive to all countries in the world including the US itself. In this US attempt to start a New Cold War it seems it is not getting any support not even from its allies. US is now using hybrid warfare to try to destroy China and it is trying to take down all Chinese scientific and technological developments some of which are more advance and well ahead of the US. China will now have to prepare for a new Long March to defend Chinese science and technology from being robbed by the hoodlums of the Evil Empire of the US.
I, Southernglory1 like all proud and peace loving Chinese people wish to toast to the glorious People's Republic of China on this auspicious occasion of China's 71st National Day. - A Toast to 'Long live The People's Republic of China.'
