1April 20, 949, the all-out civil war has come to an end, the Kuomintang army was completely defeated and refused to sign a peace agreement. On April 2 1 day, Mao Zedong and Zhu De issued an order to March to the whole country, ordering the whole army to resolutely, thoroughly, cleanly and thoroughly annihilate all Kuomintang reactionaries who dared to resist in China and liberate all China.

That night, a million mighty divisions of the China People's Liberation Army crossed the Yangtze River in three ways on the front line of more than 1,000 miles from Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province in the east and Hukou, Jiangxi Province in the west. On the evening of 23rd, the Third Field Army of East Road Chen Yi occupied Nanking. Mao Zedong was so excited when he heard the news that he wrote this poem.

Seven laws: the People's Liberation Army occupied Nanjing

Author: Mao Zedong

Zhongshan is windy and rainy, and millions of heroes cross the river.

Tiger's dragon card is better than in the past, upside down and generous.

It is advisable to chase after the poor bandits with the remaining courage, not to learn from the overlord.

If the sky is sentimental, it will grow old, and the right way in the world is vicissitudes.

Vernacular translation:

The revolutionary storm shook Nanjing, the capital of the Chiang dynasty. The People's Liberation Army broke through the natural barrier of the Yangtze River with millions of heroes and went straight to Nanjing, the base area where Chiang fought hard for three and a half months.

Nanjing, an ancient capital famous for its grandeur and precipitousness, has returned to the hands of the people. It is more beautiful than before. This earth-shaking change is enough to make people sing generously and rejoice.

We should take advantage of this good opportunity to pursue the remnants of the enemy and liberate all of China. Don't learn from Xiang Yu, a tyrant of Chu who indulges his enemies for fame and wealth and leads to his own failure.

If nature has knowledge, it will abide by the unchangeable law of ups and downs. Constant variation, development and progress are the inevitable laws of the development of human society.

Extended data:

In the poem: "If the sky is affectionate, if the sky is old, the human path is vicissitudes", which reveals that constant revolution, constant reform and continuous progress are the inevitable laws of human development.

The sentence "If the sky is sentient, it will be old" comes from the poem "Song of Golden Copper Immortal" written by Li He, a poet in Tang Dynasty. Mao Zedong borrowed it to write this poem, giving it a new meaning: the four seasons of nature change and run endlessly, which makes the metabolism of everything in the world never stop, which conforms to the development law of objective things.

Constant development, constant revolution and reform are the normal laws of human society. It is clearly pointed out here that the historical events described earlier, that is, the collapse of the Kuomintang and the victory of the China Revolution, are the objective and inevitable laws of social development, revealing that "the socialist system will eventually replace the capitalist system, which is an objective law that is independent of human will."

It is not only this paradox, but also points out that the argument of "carrying out the revolution to the end" mentioned above is an objective truth that completely conforms to the law of social development. The revolutionary people responded to Mao Zedong's call to carry the revolution through to the end and wipe out the Kuomintang reactionaries completely, which is the "right way" of governing the country and completely conforms to the law of historical development.
