有许多历史人物或历史形象，塑造了每个民族的发展。例如，日本军队犯下的南京大屠杀给中国人民带来了无尽的痛苦，同时也给日本政府带来了永恒的耻辱。同时，美国陆军提出中国在二战结束的助手已经作用了这两个国家之间的贸易与合作。尽管这两国曾经历过冷战，英语论文范文，中国与美国的团结和友谊不会被打破。我想从超过百万的历史图像中塑造这个世界，我想从拳击比赛中选择一张照片，并在这篇文章中讨论这一事件。 There are many historical figures or historical images that shape the development of every single nation. For example, the NanJing Massacre committed by Japanese army has inflicted endless pain on Chinese citizens, at the same time, it has brought the eternal shame on the Japanese government. Also, the aide that American army offered to China at the end of the World War Two has influenced the trade and cooperation between these two countires. Although these two countries had been through cold war, the bond and friendship between China and the United State of America will not be broken. Out of more than millions of historical images that shape the world, I would like to choose a picture from the Boxer Rebellion and discuss the event in the .
In this picture, a large group of brave Chinese men were suffering because they fought against the foreign power solely by kungfu, arrow and knife. The army that was fighting against the boxers carried the flag of Britain. The British army was strong and united. Right before the event from the picture, the Chinese boxers had been burning down foreign churches, robbing off any foreigners or any Chinese who believed in foreign religion. In the end, the foreign army and citizens could not bear it anymore so that they formed the army of eight nations to fight back the Chinese boxers. In the picture, Chinese boxers believed that their strong bodies can endear the arrow just like Achilli. However, many sharp arrows and bullets had been shot through their bodie. So, most of the boxers are either suffering or dying.
In fact, this picture was taken during the Boxer Rebellion. The Boxer Rebellion has several names, for example, sometimes it is called Boxer Uprising or Yihetuan Movement. This even happened at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the Chinese government was all vulnerable and corrupt. This Boxers Rebellion was not any formally form army. On the contrary, it was solely “initiated by the Militia United in Righteousnes.” (David J. Silbe, 8) These group of boxers are not really trained or educated soldiers but they are depicted by the Chinese textbooks as patriotics who are brave to fight against the foreign imperialism and other Chritian missionary activities. However, this even was ended terribly by the unprecedented alliance. (David J. Silbe, 25) This unprecedented alliance was formed by “powerful military powers such as France, Germany, Hungary, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Rusia, Australia and the United States.” (Osprey Publishing, 23 )
This boxer Rebellion should start with the background to the siege of Peking. Therfore, to simply put in this way. The Chinese boxers gathered together in North China in the summer of 1990 simply because there is a growing hatred of foreigners and the intruders of the country. (Peter Harriton, 1 ) also, the movement was also due to the economic hardships that foreign intruders brought on because the armies of the Great Britain and of America had been taking money from the Qing Dynasty. During that time, although many countries were studying science and geogrephy so that they were well infromed with phenomenon such as poor harvest. However, for the Chinese farmers and workers, they were ignorant of such knowledge so they were superstitious. The majority of them firmly believed that the poor harvests were brought on by the “foreign devils.” (Peter Harriton, 1 ) To put a long story short, the Boxer Rebellion was the last trial that Chinese citizens put on before the Qing Dynasty to cast off foreign intruders and to preserve the Chinese culture and Chinese religion, given that the constant “visiting” of foreign intruders have brought too many other culture and religion in Peking.
However, what happened in the picutre can be traced back to a decade ago, when the endless foreign intervention had seriously annoyed the Chinese government. During the late 19th century, after the western couties finished the Napoleonic Wats, the victorious nations were looking for chances and places to expand their foreign markets. Some of the western coutires atarted to acquire foreign lands by force. The tradgidy of Chinese government started with the Great Britain. Around 1860, the British army had tried to open the Chinese market because it needed to sell enough weeds to make money. Later on, its ambition got too strong that it started the Opium War, which caused many deathes. They started this war soley because they were not satified with the disagreement about the port of Canton. After the opium war, China has literaly begun to decline.
