President Hu Jintao gave a precise answer during recent celebrations in China. He said:
“The revolution of 1911 greatly freed the minds of the Chinese people, opened the flood gates for progress in China and explored a path for the development and progress of the Chinese nation.
Some compare history to a great river, flowing day and night unceasingly.
Some say the progress of history is like mountaineering. To climb higher and reach the summit, you must go step by step.
The 1911 Revolution is important in the sense that it represents an irresistible current and a significant step in the course of the Chinese history.
It’s remembered as a seminal event that carried the Chinese revolution into a new stage.
To be specific, the 1911 Revolution’s importance is three-fold.
第一,辛亥革命推翻了满清腐朽统治,扫除了中国历史前进道路上的一大严重障碍,结束了中国长达两千多年的君主专制制度,建立了共和政体。这是一个了不起的胜利。
First, the revolution overthrew the corrupt Qing Dynasty.
This action removed a major hurdle holding back China’s progress:
· It put an end to more than 2000 years of autocratic monarchy in China.
· It set the Chinese people on a course to build a republic.
· All these were great achievements that in hindsight have utterly transformed China during the past one hundred years.
