Southernglory1 and all overseas Chinese and friends are proud to congratulate the People's Republic of China as the Chinese Communist Party - CCP also known as CPC - Communist Party of China, as China celebrates the CCP's Centenary - 100 Years Anniversary on1st of July, 2021.
The CCP is synonymous to the PRC as without the Chineses Communist Party there will never the People's Republic of China. The CCP has liberated the Chinese people's mind, soul, spirit, economy, industry, politics and the military. With this liberation China and the Chinese people have thrown away forever the shackles of Western and Japanese aggression, invasion, colonialism and imperialism.
The fight and struggle of the CCP is the mirror of the historical epic fight and struggle of China and the Chinese people against Western and Japanese brutal wars of aggression and invasion of China from the 1830s to 1949. The fight and struggle was long and arduous and demanded the great stoic self sacrificial spirit of every Chinese patriot. It was the national ethos that the Chinese Dragon's 5,000 years civilization, the Chinese dignity, pride and self-respect were under threat and all foreign aggressions and invasions must be resisted fiercely and persistently without end with the solidarity and unity of the national spirit of one people, one mind and one heart at all cost so as to liberate China and preserve the glorious Chinese Dragon Civilization.
The 5,000 years Chinese Civilization has survived whereas all other ancient civilizations have been destroyed by wars and mismanagement. But during the last over 100 years from 1839 to 1948 China faced the greatest danger to her survival due to internal upheavals and constant Western and Japanese wars of aggression against China.
In the 1850s to 1870s some Chinese patriots organized the Tai Ping organisation to topple the decadent Ching Dynasty and to get rid of the British and French invaders. The leader of the Tai Ping was an eccentric Chinese Christian by the name of Hung Hsiu Chuan. But the British and the French joined the Ching Dynasty to suppress the Tai Ping because they did not want to lose all their priviledges under the Ching Dynasty. In the meantime more Western powers including the United States, Russia and Japan joined in to attack China and carved away Chinese sovereign territories.
The British took away South-western Xinjiang - the Aksai Chin plateau and South-eastern Tibet , the Russians took away the Lake Baikal region including Tannu Tuva and all the lands north of the Heilongjiang River and the Maritime Province up to the Pacific coast including the Sakhalin Island, France took away Cochin China, Cambodia, Tonking and Annam, while Japan took away the Liu Chiu Dao or Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan.
In 1911 Dr. Sun Yat-Sen toppled the Ching Dynasty. But his hold on China was precarious because all the Western powers including US and Japan did not want to see a strong united China. From 1911 to 1925 China faced all kinds of dangerous intrigues from the West and Japan. Thus amidst the choas and danger to Chinese survival the Chinese Communist Party was formed to address the survival of China. The CCP was founded by Professor Li Da-Zhoa, Professor Chen Tu-Hsiu, Mao Tse-Tung , Zhou En Lai and 25 others. It was officially launched in Shanghai on 1st July, 1921 in a secret meeting in a boat in the middle of the Nanhu Lake in Southeastern China's Jiaxing City.
From the very beginning the CCP faced great dangers and obstacles both from Western powers and from internal enemies like the warlords and the highly corrupted Nationalist Party - the Kuomintang (KMT) of brainless Chiang Kai-Shek. In 1927 Chiang Kai-Shek hunted down the communists and slaughtered tens of thousands of its members in Shanghai and in other towns and cities. However, under the great leadership of MaoTse-Tung and his comrades the CCP survived and was soon destined to lead China in the momentous fight against the Japanese aggression and invasion.
After defeating the Japanese invaders in 1945, the CCP had to face a civil war against the imbecile and useless Chiang Kai-Shek who was greatly supported by the British and the Americans who were bent on destroying the Chinese communists. On April 21st 1949, the British sent a warship 'The Amethyst' to the Huangpu River in Shanghai to intimidate the CCP's People's Liberation Army (The PLA). Gun battles ensued and in an exchange of fire with the PLA's shore batteries the Amethyst was destroyed. England sent another two warships including the heavy cruiser 'London" the largest warship in the Far East to rescue the Amythyst. The PLA shore batteries routed the heavy cruiser 'London' and the other warship. For over a hundred years British and other foreign warships were able to sail up and down the Huangpu and the Yangtze Rivers with impunity. The world especially the Western powers were greatly stunned by the PLA's destruction of the three British naval ships. Soon all the Western powers moved their warships out of Chinese rivers. The PLA was able to clear the Huangpu and the Yangtze rivers from foreign warships as well as from other Chinese rivers and Chinese coast line.
For over a hundred years Western powers and Japan were able to kick China around with impunity. Now the PLA was able to give the foreign powers their own medicine.
In the meantime the Chinese civil war continued. Chiang Kai Shek's KMT was heavily supported by the Americans with military hardware and airforce. Nevertheless, in the end the CCP led by Chairman Mao and his comrades were able to win the civil war and on October 1st, 1949, Chairman Mao was able to proclaim the establishment of the People's Republic of China in Tiananmen Square.
At the time of his defeat Chiang Kai-Shek and his clique of Chinese traitors were ferried to Taiwan by American war planes. The United States then stationed its Seventh Fleet in the Taiwan Strait to prevent the PLA from capturing Taiwan to complete the unification of Taiwan with the Chinese mainland. The Americans clearly have not learnt a lesson from PLA's destruction of the British naval ships in the Huangpu River on April 21st, 1949. If the US continues to interfere in the as yet unfinished Chinese civil war it will one day surely face total disgraceful defeat and destruction from the CCP's glorious People's Liberation Army, navy and airforce.
In 1950 the Americans started the Korean War hoping to make use of Korea as a spring board to help Chiang Kai-Shek to retake mainland China. When they bombed Chinese territory across the Yalu River, China was forced to intervene in the Korean War. The Korean War lasted from 1950 to 1953. Against all odds facing superior American armory and airforce the CCP's People's Liberation Army of volunteers won great victories against the mighty American armed forces.
After the Korean War the CCP leadership realized the importance and urgency of the multiple needs of expediting the development of Chinese science and technology, industry, agriculture, the economy and the military simultaneously. This great foresight of the CCP leadership and its resolve and ability to galvanize solid support from the people enable China to build up to what it is today, a strong, rich and powerful country and nation that commands respect from both friends and enemies and that no one should try to trifle with.
The heroic deeds of the CCP in taming internal upheavals and defeating foreign brutal invaders and in subsequently building up a strong and powerful China will forever and eternally be ingrained in Chinese minds and souls as the saving stars of China and all Chinese people.
let's drink, rejoice and salute to the glorious Chinese Communist Party with three toasts. The First Toast is to the glorious CCP which will continue to rule and guide the Chinese nation to ever more greater success and achievements in the next millenium. The Second Toast is to the great resolve and iron fighting spirit of the People's Liberation Army which is the powerful guardian of the Chinese nation. The Third Toast is to all Chinese people who are the indomitable souls and spirits of the glorious Chinese Dragon Civilization.
Long live the CCP ----- Toast
Long live the PLA ----- Toast
Long live the great Chinese Civilization. ----- Toast
