Features: The journey of China towards modernization dates back 150 years to the Opium War. Initially, it was a forced path towards modernization, which also meant forced colonization. To escape the fate of colonization, patriotic intellectuals actively sought the path that modernization should take. Modernization has been the trend of thought for nearly a century and a half, as well as the historical mission of the Chinese nation. The old China, burdened by poverty and weakness and heavy historical baggage, faced immense difficulties in moving towards modernization. After generations of persistent struggles spanning over a hundred years, the Chinese people rose. The broad patriotic intellectuals and hundreds of millions of people felt deeply inspired and produced a strong sense of pride and liberation.
