Background of the slogan "Revitalizing China"

The slogan of "rejuvenating China" was first put forward at the end of the Qing Dynasty 19, that is, from the Sino-Japanese War to the Boxer Rebellion (1894- 1900). In these five or six years, several different political factions issued a loud voice of "rejuvenating China". After the Opium War, China gradually became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country under the aggression of foreign capitalism. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, imperialism stepped up its aggression, scrambling to divide its sphere of influence in China, and engaged in the criminal activities of dividing up China. The threat of national subjugation and extinction is imminent, and the national crisis is unprecedented. This situation has aroused deep anxiety and great anger among the people of China. "Forty million people shed tears. Where is China at the end of the world? " (Tan Sitong: "A Song that Moves the Earth") People are thinking and exploring ways to save the country from the sinking of Shenzhou in grief and indignation.

The slogan of "rejuvenating China" was put forward under such a historical background.
