[Long-form entry in the essay contest commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Long March victory]
Look back on modern times: the great powers bullied us and our people suffered terribly. The warning bells still ring in our ears. Look at the world today: tensions simmer around us, and the world is in turmoil. This is no time to assume all is well!
There are always people who seek to destroy the peace we fought so hard to win. They use every means at their disposal to plunge your homeland into war, and they are far more devious than you could ever imagine!
We need people willing to match wits with these villains and make sacrifices, even with their lives!
Come and see how they start wars, and how we put a stop to them!
