The practical significance of the Revolution of 1911

The Revolution of 1911 not only has epoch-making significance in China’s modern history, but also has historical inheritance with the current social reality of China. Therefore, it has both historical and practical significance.

The noble feelings of revolutionary patriots inspire future generations to continue their struggle. The forefathers of the Revolution of 1911, represented by Sun Yat-sen, had a revolutionary spirit and patriotism that did not hesitate to sacrifice, risk their lives, disregard death, and have awe-inspiring righteousness. They are representatives of the advanced elements of the Chinese nation and inspire future generations to continue to strive and contribute to the progress and development of the motherland.

Sun Yat-sen’s advocacy of the people’s servant spirit can serve as a model for those who come after us. Sun Yat-sen took office as the president of the Nanjing Provisional Government, claiming to be a servant of the people and advocating putting the people first. This was a revolutionary breakthrough for China's officialdom since it had a class society. Sun Yat-sen's public servant spirit and integrity are the precious political and spiritual legacy left to future generations by Sun Yat-sen and the Revolution of 1911.

The national construction blueprint conceived by Sun Yat-sen still has practical significance. With the great ideal of building China in mind, Sun Yat-sen formulated a preliminary blueprint for "revitalizing China" and realizing China's modernization. Sun Yat-sen's theoretical creation and practical activities are closely related to the Revolution of 1911. The blueprint for national modernization he designed still has practical significance today and is a precious legacy that should be cherished by future generations.

The Revolution of 1911 put forward the concept of the Chinese nation and the proposition of national unity, which provides a reference for us to deal with actual ethnic relations. The Revolution of 1911 started with the national revolution. Needless to say, the revolutionaries once proposed anti-Qing ideas. In the specific environment of modern China, the feudal ruling class, represented by the Qing emperor's relatives, bowed their knees externally and suppressed internally, which has become an obstacle to China's progress and development. Without overthrowing the feudal rule represented by the Qing emperor's relatives, China would not be able to achieve national independence and national prosperity. From the perspective of national revolution, Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary proposition was to overthrow the feudal dynasty and oppose the feudal ruling class itself, not a specific nation. After Sun Yat-sen founded the Communist Party of China, he immediately proposed the idea of ??"five-ethnic peace and harmony" of Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan people, which was to realize the great unity of the Chinese nation and build a unified multi-ethnic country. The introduction and popularization of the concept of the Chinese nation, the concepts of national unity and national equality, are precious legacies left to modern Chinese people by the Revolution of 1911, and are of very positive significance.
