On October 25, 2010, Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out at a symposium to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers' War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea: "The great War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has carried forward and carried forward the revolutionary spirit of the Communist Party of China and the People's Army. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea not only played a song of triumph, but also forged a great spirit of resisting US Aggression and Aid Korea. This is: the patriotism of the motherland and the people above all else, and the dignity of the motherland and the nation. The spirit of revolutionary heroism that is brave and tenacious, and the spirit of revolutionary optimism that defends hardships and hardships and always maintains high morale, the spirit of revolutionary loyalty to fulfill the mission entrusted by the motherland and the people, and the spirit of internationalism to fight for the cause of peace and justice for mankind." Over the past 70 years, the great spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea has traveled through time and space, always radiating bright brilliance, bringing light to the inner world of the Chinese people. We must carefully understand the scientific connotation and profound meaning of the spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and embrace the spiritual light that penetrates from the depths of history.

1. Carry forward and carry forward the patriotic spirit that the interests of the motherland and the people are above all else and are desperate for the dignity of the motherland and the nation.

Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The spirit of patriotism is the foundation of the spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and it is the origin of other spirits in the spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. Patriotism is not only a firm safeguard for the interests of the country and the people, but also a sincere love for the land and people that nurtures one's own; it is not only the recognition and pride of the motherland and national dignity, but also the mission and responsibility for the future of the country, the destiny of the nation and the happiness of the people. If the spirit of patriotism rises in the heart, it will be deeply rooted in the spirit of revolutionary loyalty, and the spirit of revolutionary heroism and revolutionary optimism will be raised. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which lasted two years and nine months, from the decision to send troops to the victory, from the beginning to the end, raised the patriotic spirit of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese People's Volunteers and the Chinese people, and effectively safeguarded the interests of the motherland and the people. The prestige of the country has enabled the newly established new socialist China to stand upright on the world stage.

The war that took place 70 years ago was imposed on the Chinese people by the imperialist aggressors. After the Korean civil war broke out, the arrogant U.S. government, believing that it had overwhelming strength, brazenly sent troops to intervene and launch an all-out war against the DPRK, and despite repeated warnings from the Chinese government, it crossed the 38th parallel, approaching the Yalu and Tumen rivers on the border between China and the DPRK, and dispatched planes to bomb the border cities and villages in the northeast of China, burning the flames of war on the new the People's Republic of China territory, and posed a serious threat to the security and development interests of new china. In the face of the United States, the number one power in the world, and the situation that is waiting for prosperity after the founding of New China, it is extremely difficult to make such a great determination to resist US aggression and aid Korea. However, in order to defend the interests of the motherland and the people, and to safeguard the dignity of the motherland and the nation, Comrade Mao Zedong made a decisive decision: "We believe that we should participate in the war and must participate in the war. The benefits of participating in the war are great, and the damage of not participating in the war is great." On October 24, 1950, at the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Comrade Zhou Enlai gave a detailed explanation of why the decision to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea was made: "If North Korea is overwhelmed by U.S. imperialism, my country's northeast cannot be stable." "If the U.S. imperialists hit the Yalu River, how can we stabilize production?" The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a just and patriotic battle. All fronts and the broad masses of the people throughout the country actively responded to the call of the party and the government and launched a vigorous movement to resist US aggression and aid Korea to support the front line and the war. The patriotic enthusiasm ignited throughout the country has formed an infinite force to share the same enemy and overcome all difficulties and powerful enemies.

2. Carry forward and carry forward the spirit of revolutionary heroism of bravery, tenacity and sacrifice of life and death.

The spirit of revolutionary heroism is the quintessence of the spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and has a hard core force that shakes people's hearts. Since ancient times, revolutionary heroism has been rooted in the spiritual blood of the Chinese nation ". In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, countless heroes emerged, and the spirit of revolutionary heroism was raised. Yang Gensi, Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun and other more than 300000 heroes and nearly 6000 meritorious collectives have cast the spiritual monument of revolutionary heroism.

During the entire War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the soldiers of the Volunteer Army, with the courage to take responsibility, the heroism of the sword, the courage to give up others, and the courage to go through fire and water, waged a thrilling struggle with U.S. imperialism one after another, and staged scenes of majestic live drama. In "who is the cutest person", Wei Wei shows us the battle of Songgufeng between volunteer soldiers and the enemy to the end. "On the hill of smoke and fire, the warriors shouted slogans and killed the enemy again and again in front of the position. The dead bodies of the enemy were piled up in front of the mountain like millet, and the blood turned the hill red." At the beginning of the new year in 2018, President Xi Jinping inspected a certain division of the Army in the Central Theater. In front of the display board reflecting the situation of the division's fierce battle against Songgu Peak during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he said with emotion that the battle was very fierce and the fighting style of officers and soldiers was very tenacious. Our army has always been energetic. In the past, there was less steel and more gas. Now there is more steel, more gas and harder bones. The Battle of Shangganling was a microcosm of the entire War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. "In the Battle of Shangganling, it became a common phenomenon to pull grenades, grenades, blasting cylinders, and explosive bags to die with the enemy at critical moments, and to lay down their lives to blow up the enemy's bunker and block the enemy's gun holes". The enemy has invested more than 60000 troops, poured 1.9 million shells and dropped more than 5000 bombs, which took 43 days and paid a heavy price of more than 25000 casualties and prisoners. The mountain top was lowered by 2 meters, and the volunteer officers and soldiers were still firmly riveted on the position. In the brave battle of "fighting bayonets in the air", the officers and soldiers of the volunteer army fought against the sky and created a miracle in the history of air warfare in the world. When summing up the experience of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Comrade Mao Zedong once said that the volunteers defeated the US military by relying on a single breath.

3. Carry forward and carry forward the spirit of revolutionary optimism that is not afraid of hardships and hardships and always maintains high morale.

The spirit of revolutionary optimism is the characteristic of the spirit of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the most marked spiritual core of the spirit of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. On the way forward, the Chinese nation has encountered contradictions and problems, difficulties and risks of one kind or another, but it has always been hopeful, unremittingly pursuing, advancing bravely in torrent, and finally overcoming all difficulties and dangers. at the same time, it has also forged a self-improvement character and belief in victory that dare to overwhelm all difficulties without being overwhelmed by any difficulties. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a contest between two countries with a serious imbalance in the comparison of national and military power. At that time, 90% of China's national economy was still at the level of modern agricultural economy, and its industrial output value only ranked 26th in the world; the U.S. economic and technological strength were both in the world. First place, industrial output value accounts for 40% of the world. It is in the contest of great disparity in strength that the spirit of revolutionary optimism has been greatly honed and carried forward, creating an example of defeating the strong with the weak.

The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, this heroic feat of tenacious victory under extremely asymmetric and extremely difficult conditions, wrote a magnificent epic in the history of human war. The U.S. military has used all new weapons except nuclear weapons, its ground forces are all mechanized, and it also controls the air and sea on the battlefield. The Chinese People's Volunteers basically rely on infantry and a small amount of artillery to fight. The weapons and equipment are quite backward. The small amount of air force that participated in the war in the later period can only cover the main transportation lines in the rear and local air operations, and cannot directly support the ground forces. They braved the severe cold of minus 30 degrees Celsius, galloped through the snow-capped mountains, one after another, and fought life-and-death with inferior equipment. When the Battle of Changjin Lake was going on, the Korean Peninsula was experiencing severe cold once in 50 years, and the temperature dropped sharply. The volunteers had no time to rest. When there was a shortage of medicine, food, and oil, they joined the freezing battlefield. Many soldiers were frozen. His hands and feet, ears and nose, even if he froze to death in the position, he still maintained a fighting posture. Smith, commander of the 1st U.S. Army Land War Division, lamented: "The Battle of Changjin Lake was fought by steel troops and steel men." Yang Gensi, a "special hero" who died heroically on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, said three words before his death: "I don't believe that there are tasks that cannot be completed! I don't believe that there are difficulties that cannot be overcome! I don't believe that there are enemies that cannot be defeated!" This is a vivid portrayal of the spirit of revolutionary optimism that defies hardships and hardships and always maintains high morale.

4. Carry forward and carry forward the revolutionary loyalty spirit of fulfilling the mission entrusted by the motherland and the people and giving everything generously.

The spirit of revolutionary loyalty is the foundation of the spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and it is the deep-seated factor that supports the revolutionary heroism and revolutionary optimism of the volunteers. Only with "revolutionary loyalty" to the party and the people can there be fearless heroism and great feats of perseverance. This "revolutionary loyalty" is absolute loyalty, "unique, thorough, unconditional, without any impurities, without any water loyalty", and "holding a heart without half a root of grass" Iron-blooded loyalty. Our army is the people's army created and led by the party, and it is also an army that has always maintained its revolutionary character. The word "revolution" embodies the adherence to the original mission, the determination of ideals and beliefs, and the responsibility of lofty responsibilities.

The wind knows the grass, the board knows the honest minister. The spirit of revolutionary loyalty is particularly evident in Peng Dehuai, commander and political commissar of the Chinese people's Volunteer Army. When the issue of sending troops and taking command was repeatedly discussed at the Politburo meeting, and the debate was heated, Peng Dehuai firmly supported Comrade Mao Zedong's opinion: "It is necessary to send troops to aid Korea, and if it is broken, it is tantamount to a few years late victory in the War of Liberation. If the U.S. military is placed on the banks of the Yalu River and Taiwan, it can always find an excuse to launch a war of aggression." Under the condition that our army does not have the experience of directly conducting large-scale battlefield contests with the US military, and any general is not sure of winning the battle, Peng Dehuai resolutely heard the order to go out, completely putting personal honor and disgrace out of his mind. Comrade Mao Zedong said with emotion after Peng Dehuai was ordered in the face of danger: "Those who have good generals will strengthen the country." In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the revolutionary loyalty of the generals led the soldiers to compete for sacrifice and dedication. They dare to sacrifice everything they have on the battlefield precisely because they have "revolutionary loyalty" to the country and the nation, the party and the people ".

5. Promoting and developing the spirit of internationalism for the cause of peace and justice for mankind

The spirit of internationalism is an organic component of the spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and an important motivation for inspiring the Chinese People's Volunteers to go to the Korean battlefield. Harmony and symbiosis are the historical genes of the Chinese nation. "Peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom" are the common values of all mankind that the Communist Party of China upholds and advocates. The Communist Party of China not only insists on seeking happiness for the Chinese people, but also insists on striving for the cause of human progress; it not only shoulders the historical mission of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but also always regards making new and greater contributions to mankind as its mission. The Korean Peninsula is linked to China by mountains and rivers. The war to resist US aggression and aid Korea not only proceeds from China's security and development interests, but also from the needs of the Korean people's national liberation cause, and focuses more on maintaining and promoting world peace.

The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was the first large-scale international local war after the end of World War II. In addition to hundreds of thousands of US and South Korea troops, the Chinese people's volunteers also face the troops of 16 countries, including Britain. The U.S. government tried to correct the name of North Korea in the name of "United Nations Army". However, no matter how many countries it gathered, it could not wash away the historical charges of imperialist invaders. The Great War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a just battle to defend peace and resist aggression. It was a just battle that upheld the spirit of internationalism. It was not just for China's own security. As Comrade Mao Zedong said, sending troops to participate in the war is "extremely beneficial to China, to North Korea, to the East, and to the world; and if we do not send troops to let the enemy press down to the Yalu River, the domestic and international reactionary arrogance will increase, which will be detrimental to all parties". This just battle not only inspired the soldiers of the volunteer army to fight more and more bravely, but also won the sympathy, support and assistance of peace loving countries and people all over the world. In the end, the division of justice won the victory of the war, disrupted the deployment of imperialist expansion of its sphere of influence, and maintained peace in Asia and the world. The victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea safeguarded the security of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the newly born the People's Republic of China, and profoundly affected and changed the political structure of Asia and the world after the end of World War II.
