On the campus of the Royal Institute of Technology in Beijing, many students are watching "Huo Qubing Defeat the Huns". It is a wonderful movie and a bloody battle. Many young students feel as if their blood is boiling.
At the same time, a strong sense of national pride and identity also arose spontaneously, so that on the second day, the entire school was filled with words and phrases written by these students expressing their patriotic feelings.
"The great Chinese nation!"
"Unyielding spirit, constant self-improvement!"
"I love you, my motherland, and I am proud of you!"
"Why would you die to serve your family and country!"
"A good man should carry a three-foot sword to protect his family and country and kill all the bandits!"
"Women are weak, but they can be loyal to the country like Hua Mulan!"
On campus, students continued to discuss last night¡¯s movie, using poems, songs, etc. to express their inner feelings.
For the first time, I truly and deeply identified with my own nation, my own heritage and my own motherland.
For these young people who are thoughtful, educated and knowledgeable, they are more able to accept their own identity and identify with their own identity and nation at this moment.
This kind of thinking was called the awakening of national consciousness in later generations!
Many people may find it strange that the people of Ming Dynasty used to say that they were people of Ming Dynasty. Isn¡¯t this the awakening of national consciousness?
In fact, this can really only be regarded as a rudimentary awakening of national consciousness.
¡°Everyone just knows that they are Han Chinese, but they don¡¯t have a specific understanding of what Han people are, or what kind of profound awareness they have in them.
This has been true from ancient times to the present. In fact, it is not only true in the East, but also in the West and even around the world. Before the national consciousness awakens, the biggest manifestation is a mess of scattered sand.
For the past dynasties, before the national consciousness did not really awaken, the invasion of foreign nations may only be affected by people in the frontier region, for people in other places.
Even if they are of the same ethnic group and the same country, other people will not have any feelings or emotional fluctuations, and they cannot feel that this is an invasion of their own nation.
Even if an invader comes to your home, as long as the other party does not destroy your life, it doesn't matter if a foreigner becomes the emperor.
This point was very clear when the Manchus entered the customs.
A large number of Han people not only did not fight against these Qing troops, but even helped them to suppress the Qing Dynasty, helping these Qing troops to bring down most of the country.
Why is this?
There may be various reasons, etc., but in the final analysis, it is that the national consciousness has not truly awakened, and everyone has no awareness in this regard. It does not matter whoever becomes the emperor, it does not matter whether he lives or dies.
This situation continued until the late Qing Dynasty. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces attacked Beijing, they encountered no resistance except the Qing army. The local people were even hired by the invaders to help transport supplies and provide food. The coalition forces acted as guides, built ladders, etc.
Some even became mercenaries, hired by the invaders, and pointed their guns at their own people.
why is it like this?
Some people may say traitors and lackeys, but this is not very accurate.
¡°In a true sense, the national consciousness is still not awakened. Everyone has no awareness in this regard. They think that whoever gives money can be a slave. It¡¯s the same anyway.
This situation lasted until after the Revolution of 1911, the May 4th Movement, and the Anti-Japanese War, when national consciousness gradually and truly awakened.
Only then did the Chinese people truly realize what is a nation and what is a family, a country, and a world.
¡°This is how we finally defeated the invaders through the arduous people¡¯s resistance war, won the arduous war, defended our country, and continued our own heritage and fire.
¡°If it weren¡¯t for the awakening of national consciousness, we might not have been able to win the eight-year war of resistance at all. You have to know how many traitors and lackeys there were at that time. They were working for the devils and harming their own people.
However, due to the awakening of national consciousness, the common people were willing to do everything they could to support, and the entire nation was able to mobilize its strength. In the face of huge disparities in all aspects, they finally fought hard and ushered in victory. .

It can be said that if it were not for the awakening of national consciousness, would this be possible to win?
?They were full, and their weapons and equipment were completely inadequate. The Tatars repeatedly went south, plundering border passes, burning, killing and looting.
However, the civil servants above the imperial court, who have great power, know clearly that they should rectify military affairs, pay attention to border defense, and allocate more money and food for support.
But they did not do this. Because of the opposition between civil and military officials, they even continued to suppress the military generals, constantly reduced the openings of the border troops, embezzled the food and wages of the border troops, and so on.
When doing these things, they had no trouble in their hearts, and they did not even think about the entire Ming Dynasty at all, because in the eyes of these officials, even if the imperial court died, it would not be up to them to change the dynasty. These civil servants came to rule.
Therefore, the strength of the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with them. What they care more about is how much power they have, how much money they have, and whether their family can become stronger as a result.
This is a typical manifestation of the lack of awakening of national consciousness.
Of course, after the awakening of national consciousness, there are still many such people, but more and more heroes continue to emerge who sacrifice for the country and the nation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
