    That's acceptable. Without a system, who says that national salvation and the reconstruction of civilization are necessarily contradictory? The War of Resistance required not only guns and cannons, but also spirit. A nation that doesn't know why it's fighting or for whom it's fighting, even with guns and cannons, is nothing more than a rabble. A nation that recognizes the value of its civilization and is aware of its historical mission, even if it falls behind temporarily, will ultimately rise again. — *The Republic of China: The Age of Enlightenment*
