从1931年“九·一八”事变开始,日本帝国主义疯狂加紧对中国的侵略,妄图变中国为它的殖民地,全国人民面临亡国灭种的严重危机。中国共产党呼吁“停止内战,一致抗日”,倡议建立抗日民族统一战线,各界人民纷纷响应,抗日救亡成为不可抗拒的历史潮流。但是,蒋介石顽固推行“攘外必先安内”的误国政策。国民党爱国将领张学良、杨虎城顺从人民意愿,于1936年12月12日,发动西安事变,并在中共及多方努力下,迫使蒋介石接受停止内战,联共抗日的主张。事变的基本历史教训,对目前完成和平统一祖国的大业有现实意义。 Beginning with the “September 18” incident in 1931, the Japanese imperialists were crazy about stepping up their aggression against China in an attempt to turn China into its colony, and the entire Chinese people were facing a serious crisis of nation-ending genocide. The Chinese Communist Party called for “ceasing civil war and unanimously resisting Japan,” advocating the establishment of an anti-Japanese national united front, and people from all walks of life have responded in response to this and the anti-Japanese national salvation has become an irresistible historical trend. However, Chiang Kai-shek stubbornly pursued the policy of “mistaking for the country to be the first to be allowed to enter the country outside the borders of the country.” KMT patriotic general Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng obeyed the will of the people and launched the Xi’an Incident on December 12, 1936. Under the efforts of the CPC and various parties, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to accept the idea of ​​stopping the civil war and the Communist anti-Japanese war. The basic historical lessons of the incident are of practical significance to the accomplishment of the great cause of peaceful reunification of the motherland.
