The Gate
Our ancestors did not originally have doors. People created doors for defense. Everyone is either outside the door or inside it, and the Creator has arranged it so cleverly. Those outside want to come in, and those inside want to go out. Those who should enter do, and those who should leave do; those who should enter do not, and those who should leave do not; those who should not enter come in, and those who should leave go out. Thus, coming and going, going and coming, endless!
Some things are clear at a glance. Once separated by a door, they become hazy, illusory, and all the more tempting. The clouds outside the door are charming, yet one longs to step into the unfathomable world within. Even shadows are mistaken for beautiful dreams. The warmth of the small world inside the door is cherished, yet one yearns for the distant mirage outside. Even the vast desert is mistaken for a land of gold. In truth, both inside and outside the door can be equally beautiful, but human curiosity is too strong, and imagination too rich.
Some doors that should not be closed are ultimately not closed tightly. The peasant uprising opened the gates of Xianyang and the Qin dynasty, but Emperor Gaozu of Han closed them again. Generation after generation, doors open and close, close and open—has it ever stopped? Thus, the entangled and inextricable grievances between inside and outside the door have staged an endless series of dramas. The gunfire of the Wuchang Uprising finally broke the gates guarded by the imperial guards. The gates that should have been closed were not properly closed, becoming a page of both humiliation and heroism in the modern history of the past century.
The Opium War, despite the fierce battles of generals like Lin Zexu and Guan Tianpei, ultimately led to the "opening of doors." Later came the Treaty of Nanjing, the Boxer Indemnity, the Nanjing Massacre—China suffered in deep suffering. The doors were built by ourselves, keeping others out while also confining ourselves to a small world. We do not let others see us, but what do we not let them see? We cannot see others, but what do we not see? Perhaps the idioms "narrow-mindedness," "frog in a well," and "self-seclusion" have endured for so long because of this! No wonder the phrase "close the door behind you" is everywhere. Why is there no sign saying "open the door for you"? It seems the Chinese love to close doors!
"The garden is full of spring colors, but a branch of red apricot peeks over the wall." The reform and opening-up policy formulated at the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee brought prosperity, prosperity, and happiness to the motherland and its people. Of course, opening doors is not easy. Although fresh air is beneficial to people, mosquitoes and flies that spread diseases also take the opportunity to sneak in, and yellow mists of vice also drift in. Therefore, while opening doors, screens and disinfection equipment must also be installed.
"The road is not picked up, and the door is not closed at night" may still be a dream for humans now, but it will eventually become reality. Since the sickle and hammer began to create a new world on July 1, 1921, twenty-eight years later, they broke the door of chaos, and they will also open a path leading to communism.
