Appreciate the excellent articles (continus 1)

"May Fourth" movement has not been continued in the past 90 years, despite its epoch-making, still it is not obsolete. Its advocacy of "democracy and science," to the spirit of the Chinese people, not only pointed out the path of salvation and prosperity, but summarized in the most refined language, development and progress of the modern civilized world, the basic principles and the way forward. The main points of the "May Fourth" spirit are: First, the people are the masters, with respect for human rights and universal values; the second is practical, according to the evolution of the scientific laws of things. For the "May Fourth Movement," the pioneer spirit of these two points affectionately called "Mr. Science and Mr. De" (Democracy and Science in English from the first syllable of the homonym.)These two teachers to guide human survival and progress, an important role of the world has been recognized. But these two teachers are the twin brother of the civilized world, indivisible, equally important, lack of perspective which is a matter of opinion will not work. Because for people "democracy and science," have internal relations, and interaction between the two benefits, deeply. Humans can adapt, even to some extent control the transformation of the objective world in order to facilitate survival, and development depends on scientific wisdom. Though this is not self-evident, it easier to understand and accept. By the spirit of democracy and guidance to promote the scientific development of human society, including various groups, associations, ethnic, national and international harmony, the importance of the common progress of all people has not been recognized. In addition, there is a perhaps a more important reason, that democratic reform involves the transfer of political power vested in, often hampered by vested interests, and move forward. They will find all kinds of excuses and even by the use of violence strangle democracy.


Perhaps the most the difficult Audition is: Why did millions of people with high ideals of the best of life, energy, go through fire, especially fighting for democratic freedom, prosperity and harmony in China, could have met so much opposition in their country, such large man-made obstacles and difficulties?


Ancient and modern history proved that both the scientific and technological development works, but also attach importance to building democracy in a country, the pace of progress be comes very quick. After the world entered the era of civilization, in the developed countries, science and democracy is often one after another or by the simultaneous development of each other.

By not talking about science, you cannot speak of democratic regimes, so you are not able to resist foreign powers, and cannot win the trust of the people, and sooner or later be eliminated by history. Talk about science, without democracy, often ended in failure. IN Hitler's Germany, the technological level is high, but his fascism, Holocaust, and external aggression and expansion, both international and domestic, finally the loss of popular support, leading to a melt down. As so, it is also technology developed by Japanese militarism, a military power, to try to take in the Asia Pacific region, with the brutal killing of the people in affected countries, led to foreign occupation by the United States after finally surrendering.
