My thoughts after watching "The Legend of Sino-Japanese War"
After watching the movie "The Legend of Sino-Japanese War", I was moved by Deng Shichang's deep patriotism.
The movie describes Japan’s wanton provocations in China’s territorial waters in 1894. Beiyang Minister Li Hongzhang strongly advocated peace. Deng Shichang, the commander of the "Zhiyuan", took the initiative to volunteer. During the naval battle, Deng Shichang took over the command of the flagship and led the officers and men of the "Zhiyuan" to fight bravely and beat the enemy to pieces. Later, because the shells had been fired, Deng Shichang made a major decision: collision After making this decision, no one on the ship retreated. However, when chasing the "Yoshino", they were unfortunately hit by a torpedo and all the officers and soldiers died heroically.
Watch. After watching this movie, I feel that Deng Shichang has a heroic spirit. He is not like Mr. Fang in the movie, who is afraid of death and shrinks when encountering enemies. Deng Shichang is not only strong and unyielding. , and looked forward to death. According to Teacher Feng, when the "Zhiyuan" was hit by a torpedo, Deng Shichang was not dead yet, because when he saw his warship being sunk by Japan, he decided to sink with the ship and die to serve the country. After Teacher Feng's introduction, Deng Shichang's image in my mind suddenly became several times higher. In this movie, I felt that not only Deng Shichang had national backbone, but Mr. Lin and the sailors beside him also had that of Deng Shichang. When Deng Shichang decided to sink the enemy ship "Yoshino", the sailors had a mentality of dying together with the enemy.
In addition, I learned the core of the failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 by reading the information. The reason was the corruption of the Qing government. In 1894, it was the 60th birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi, the supreme ruler of the Qing government. The Qing government had set up a special celebration office a year earlier. The 60th birthday celebration of Empress Dowager Cixi was extravagant, and only one banquet was spent. She spent 230,000 taels of silver, 520,000 taels of silver for singing, and 230,000 taels of clothing and materials such as dragon robes. Her birthday, November 7, happened to be the day when the Japanese army captured Dalian. The war was critical and the important town was lost, but Empress Dowager Cixi was still in the palace. The Central Palace was congratulated, a banquet was given to the ministers, and Emperor Guangxu and his ministers were allowed to sit and listen to the opera for three days. They did not care about state affairs. The supreme ruler was so corrupt. How could a corrupt government not be defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894? Victory will not lead the country to prosperity!
Now, our country is strong, and its strength depends not on others, but on the diligence and efforts of generations of people! . Of course, there are also the heroes who have sacrificed their lives and blood on the battlefield. If we want our country to continue to be strong, then from now on, we should work hard and grow up to serve our motherland.
