在纪念红军长征胜利80周年大会上的讲话 Speech at a Ceremony Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Long March 2016年10月21日 October 21, 2016 同志们： Comrades, 今天，我们在这里隆重集会，纪念中国工农红军长征胜利80周年。 Today, we are gathered here to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Long March by the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army. 红军长征的那个年代，中国处在半殖民地半封建社会的黑暗境地，社会危机四伏，日寇野蛮侵略，国民党反动派置民族危亡于不顾，向革命根据地连续发动大规模“围剿”，中国共产党和红军到了危急关头，中国革命到了危急关头，中华民族到了危急关头。 The Long March took place at a dark time in Chinese history, a time when China had been reduced to a semi-colonial, semi-feudal country, when crisis lurked in all corners, and when the Japanese aggressors brutally invaded our lands. The reactionary Kuomintang (KMT), ignoring the peril of the nation, launched a series of large-scale “encirclement and eradication” campaigns in an attempt to wipe out the revolutionary bases of the Communist Party of China (CPC). This was a critical moment for the CPC and the Red Army, for China’s revolution, and for the Chinese nation. 面对生死存亡的严峻考验，从1934年10月至1936年10月，红军第一、第二、第四方面军和第二十五军进行了伟大的长征。我们党领导红军，以非凡的智慧和大无畏的英雄气概，战胜千难万险，付出巨大牺牲，胜利完成震撼世界、彪炳史册的长征，宣告了国民党反动派消灭中国共产党和红军的图谋彻底失败，宣告了中国共产党和红军肩负着民族希望胜利实现了北上抗日的战略转移，实现了中国共产党和中国革命事业从挫折走向胜利的伟大转折，开启了中国共产党为实现民族独立、人民解放而斗争的新的伟大进军。 |
