透视中国：庆祝“双十节”的大陆人 - BBC Chinese
October 1 is the People's Republic of China's "National Day", but some users have no desire to celebrate the Chinese mainland. They are in the "Double Ten Day" wait nine days later, that the Republic of China's National Day.
A Shandong users on the microblogging wrote: "Many people are in a circle of friends dazzle with today's 'National Day', but I think today is the motherland of Good Friday, the day of our nation is in completely the decay of the soul , lost root .10.10 Double Ten is the birthday of our country, I hope one day you can justifiably celebrate this day! "
A Hunan user said: "Double Ten is coming, although I was in serious trouble red continent, but I yearn for Taiwan's Kuomintang blessing, bless the Republic of China a happy National Day.!!"
Another Zhejiang netizen asked: "Guojun brothers, when reclaim their lost homeland?"
In recent years, every early October, you can see a lot of similar remarks on the Chinese mainland's social media platforms.
This is not just a few casual users complain. In fact, it reflects the Chinese mainland has been quite common at the moment miss the thoughts Republic.
This stream of thought as early as 30 years ago in the big Lu Mengsheng, over the past decade to become even more spectacular, "Republican hot."
So why are there so many people miss the Republic of China mainland it?
War History
Chinese Communist Party in 1949 to overthrow the ROC government, seized power in mainland China. To emphasize its seizure of power and the legitimacy of the ruling communist regime naturally Republican freshmen should put a dark picture, calling it "the evil of the old society."
However, after the end of the Cultural Revolution, the CCP need for united front against Taiwan, to a certain extent, ease the control of the Republican history, especially the history of the war research.
CPC had previously been claimed that the KMT is not Japanese, winning the war of the Communist Party. But after 1980, although the CCP still insist claimed to be "the mainstay of Sino-Japanese War," but began to allow the media about the military exploits of the war.
The consequences of doing so is the Chinese authorities unexpected. Only the Communist Party had learned from textbooks with "Sparrow War", "mine warfare," "Tunnel Warfare" beat the Japanese people, once heard Battle of Shanghai, Taierzhuang victory, China Expeditionary Force to go to Burma's tragic history, feeling the shock is imagined.
In many people's minds, the KMT leader Chiang Kai-shek and all of a sudden from the "not anti-Japanese," the scum of the nation, became a national hero bloody war.
"Opposing Taiwan independence."
2000, Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party defeated the Kuomintang in the general election, advocates Taiwan's formal independence Chen Shui-bian became president.
For decades the KMT and resort to arms in opposition to Taiwan independence issue found a common goal. Overnight, the KMT from denial "return to the embrace of the motherland," the separatists became "oppose separatism," the Patriots.
The CCP has been seen as a thorn in the flesh of the "Republic of China" the country, compared to those who dream of establishing independence "Taiwan country", at least with the "Chinese" word, and therefore it is not so "reactionary" the.
Since then, the mainland-based media with the KMT to Taiwan's "pan-blue" parties reported more positive, but the publicity department of the history of the Republic of restrictions on the media published content is further reduced.
Therefore, public awareness from the mainland media to the public image of the Republic of increasingly rich and diverse, from a single color "dark old society" gradually evolved into a colorful, ideological diversity, plump figure, the master of giving birth to a wonderful era.
"Republic of China fever"
Part of the political thaw, prompting Chinese mainland academics, the media and the public off a wave of nostalgia for the Republic. From 2006, I started a "Republican hot" argument on the mainland media.
On the Chinese Internet, but also large numbers of the Republic of China and the Kuomintang's "fans." These often ROC flag or the KMT party emblem as an avatar of the users, no secret of his patriotic feeling. But their love is not the People's Republic of China, but the Republic of China.
In the eyes of those who miss the Republic of China, freedom of thought and freedom of expression far more than any Republican since 1949, and the democratic thought and practice of the Republic of China for Taiwan's democratization planted the seed.
There mainland scholars have pointed out, in the early Republic, and from 1928 to 1937 the "golden years", the Chinese economy had rapid growth, but after decades of China's reform and opening up economic miracle is just "return to history."
CCP has always claimed that the establishment of People's Republic of China in 1949, so that the "Chinese people have stood up." But mainland scholars said publicly that China as early as a result of the war on the Republic of China on the international stage, "stand up", and no relationship with the Chinese Communists to seize power.
"COMING" strikes
So many people miss the former, not good news for those in power. Communist Party propaganda department has set the tone, which is "historical nihilism" and must be suppressed.
2010, when he was "Beijing Daily" president of Mei Ninghua in the "red flag presentation," issued a document, advocated "unequivocally opposed to historical nihilism."
The article said that it was "for the development of Chinese history has been proved by a number of historical conclusion 'overturn' ...... traitor, reactionary ruling figures in history have now been finalized for the speak of smb gracefully."
"Some people actually claim that swooning, the Republic of hard times is the 'golden period' in Chinese history. These are clearly upside of history and fiction."
Has a major general of the National Defense University professor Xu Yan in the People published an article criticizing "some ulterior motives who" take "in the history of this metaphor," means, "to take 'COMING' type of blow to the birth of New China, the Chinese revolution."
"Global Times" also published an editorial in 2012, stressing that "beautification KMT regime is a blatant lie."
Backyard fire
Clearly, the CCP has turned public opinion see the danger, trying to reverse when the negative consequences for the United Front and relax propaganda to control.
However, everything is too late. Diverse history and national identity has been formed, it is impossible to return to official repair history of world domination in the past.
In the foreseeable future, some people in mainland China will continue to miss the Republic of China as a way to express their dissatisfaction with Chinese rule.
CCP's united front strategy does seem to play a role in Taiwan's Kuomintang, but inadvertently promote the spirit of the Republic of China on the mainland and the revival of national identity, and thus the legitimacy of the Communist regime posed a challenge fundamentally.
This "backfire" results, is probably Beijing's policy makers anticipated.
