97 years ago today, June 14, 1928 (April 27, 1928, the lunar calendar), was the birthday of Cuban revolutionary leader Che Guevara. Che Guevara Che Guevara was born on June 14, 1928 in Rosario Province, Argentina. He studied medicine at the University of Buenos Aires, MD. In 1955, he met the Castro brothers while in exile in Mexico and participated in the "July 26th Movement". In 1956, he waged an armed struggle with Castro in Cuba and served as column commander and in charge of quartermaster work. After the victory of the revolution, he was awarded the title of honorary citizen of Cuba and served as director of the Industry Department of the Agrarian Reform Commission, president of the National Bank, minister of industry, and secretary of the Secretariat of the National Leading Committee of the Cuban Unified Revolution Organization. In 1965, he resigned from Cuba's military status and all positions inside and outside the party, and went to other countries to continue the anti-imperialist struggle. After a period of activities in Zaire, he entered Bolivia in 1966 to engage in "guerrilla center" activities. He was captured and killed in October 1967. In July 1997, the remains were transported back to Cuba for burial. His book "Guerrilla Warfare" is widely circulated in Latin American countries. On June 14, 1928, Che Guevara was born in Rosario, Argentina, a capitalist and manor owner family. He graduated in March 1953 and obtained the qualification of a doctor. At this time, he decided to work in a shelter for leprosy patients in Caracas, Venezuela. When he bid farewell to his parents at Buenos Aires Station, he said meaningfully: "An American soldier bids farewell to you. In December of the same year, he arrived in Guatemala. At that time, President Arbenz was implementing certain anti-imperialist and anti-feudal measures, which was therefore opposed by the United States. Che Guevara stood up to defend the Arbens regime and actively served the Arbens democratic government. He once called for the establishment of militia groups to deal with reactionaries at home and abroad. After the failure of the Arbenz regime, he was blacklisted by the CIA and fled across the border to Mexico. At this time, Fidel Castro, the leader of the Cuban revolutionary movement, came to Mexico in search of a base of activities. One night in June 1955, Che Guevara and Castro met at 49 Emparan Street in Mexico City. The two hit it off and talked about various international political issues all night long. In the end, Che Guevara agreed to join the Cuban expeditionary force being planned. At two o'clock in the evening on November 25, 1956, eighty-two members of the Cuban Expeditionary Force quietly boarded the yacht Granma in the Port of Tuxpan in the Gulf of Mexico and began to sail for Cuba. As one of the first two members of the Granma roster, Che Guevara sang the Cuban national anthem and the "Hymn of July 26" with everyone. Due to the strong winds and high waves, most people became seasick. After seven days and seven nights of intense fighting, on December 2, they finally arrived at a place called Bellick on the beach of Cororados in southeastern Cuba. As soon as they landed, they were attacked by enemy aircraft. The troops of Batista's government immediately followed him. The troops did not have time to rest before they began to deal with the enemy. As a military doctor, Che Guevara treated injuries and participated in combat. He not only suffered from asthma, but also was injured in the battle on December 5. After many hardships, the troops moved to the mountainous Maestra Mountains to open up guerrilla bases. On January 14, 1957, when he won his first battle at the mouth of the La Plata River, Che Guevara showed a firm revolutionary stance and tenacious will to fight. He often completes tasks brilliantly. On May 28, 1957, he participated in the famous Battle of Uviro, showing outstanding military talents. After the battle, he stayed behind to take care of the wounded and overcame difficulties to lead them back to the army. From then on, he emerged and was soon promoted to the Second Column (later called the Fourth Column. At that time, there were 75 people and three platoons under them, equivalent to commanders of a company. In July, he was awarded the rank of major. After that, he commanded many battles such as Buesito and Ombrito, working closely with Castro's troops, forcing the enemy to withdraw from the Maestra Mountains. In May 1958, the guerrillas repelled one of the enemy's largest offensive and then turned to counterattack. On August 31, Che Guevara led a team of troops to break through the enemy's numerous obstacles and advance towards the province of Las Villas. They are responsible for cutting off the enemy's main lines of communication and disrupting the election organized by the enemy. At the end of December, in the battle to attack the transportation hub of St. Clarat, Che Guevara led a column of less than 300 people to invade and liberate the city, which was guarded by tanks, artillery and thousands of infantry, putting the enemy in a state of collapse. Then, the guerrillas marched eastward and liberated the capital Havana. Che Guevara entered the city loaded with flowers and honors, becoming a legendary guerrilla master. After the victory of the Cuban Revolution, Che Guevara was declared a Cuban citizen by the new government on January 9, 1959. In September of the same year, he was appointed director of the Industry Department of the National Committee for Agrarian Reform. From November 1959 to February 1961, he served as President of the National Bank. From February 1961 to 1965, he served as Minister of Industry. From 1962 to 1965, he served as a member of the Secretariat of the National Leading Committee of the Organization of the United Revolution of Cuba. He has visited more than 30 countries including Egypt, India, Japan, Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, Algeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He visited China in November 1960 and February 1965. After the victory of the Cuban Revolution, Che Guevara summarized his experience in guerrilla warfare and wrote books such as "Guerrilla Warfare","Guerrilla Warfare: A Method", and "Memoirs of the Cuban Revolutionary War", systematically proposing "Guerrilla Centralism" and "Continental Revolution" and other ideological theories. He believes that the most basic means of seizing power is "guerrilla warfare", that is,"irregular path of armed struggle." Guerrilla fighters are the most effective members of the vanguard and the reformers of society. The victory of the revolution must be achieved by the guerrillas. In April 1965, Che Guevara mysteriously "disappeared" from Cuba. It turned out that he had supported some revolutionaries in Latin America and tested his theories in countries such as Guatemala, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Haiti and Argentina, but all failed one by one. Therefore, he decided to take action personally, return to guerrilla struggle and launch revolution in Latin America. On April 1, 1965, he sent a letter to Castro, resigning all positions inside and outside the party and his military rank in Cuba, preparing to go to "some other mountainous areas of the world" to fight. In June, he led a small team of about 125 Cuban guerrillas to the Kinshasa region of Africa, pseudonym "Commander Tatu", to support the rebels there and want to establish a new Cuba in the heart of Africa. However, the rebels suffered many setbacks. Che Guevara believed that it was not suitable for establishing a guerrilla center here, so he withdrew the Cuban guerrillas. In September, Che Guevara decided to establish a guerrilla center in Niakahuasu, Bolivia. Niakawasu lies in a canyon surrounded by hundreds of steep mountains in the province of Santa Cruz. The canyon is full of lush tropical plants. They plan to use this as the center and turn the Andes into the Maestra Mountains. In November 1966, Che Guevara disguised as a bald, bespectacled Uruguayan businessman and flew from Montevideo to La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, via the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. He claimed to be a special envoy of the Organization of American States and was going to conduct social investigation work and arrived in Niakawasu by car. He was here to train a group of guerrillas and then launch guerrilla activities. However, because his activities did not receive support from the Bolivian Communist Party, it was difficult to recruit Bolivians. When the guerrillas went out on a march after preliminary training, they were quickly discovered and surrounded by government troops. As a result, the guerrillas exposed themselves prematurely and had to engage in arduous dealings and battles with the government troops. In August 1967, due to the traitor's whistleblower, the guerrillas 'secret warehouse was seized and the communication network in the city was also destroyed. The guerrillas' situation has since become more difficult. Che Guevara led his army to charge left and right. The situation could not be changed. Coupled with the increase in the number of wounded and sick people, the troops had to split into two groups to break through. On August 31, the guerrilla fighters led by Joaquin were ambushed by the enemy while crossing the Masikuri River and all died heroically. Sixteen guerrillas led by Che Guevara were surrounded in the Yuro Canyon. At 1 p.m. on October 8, the guerrillas slid down the canyon to prepare to break through. But the enemy's encirclement was close, and with the dense sound of machine guns, Che Guevara was shot and injured in the leg. As he bandaged the wound, the enemy had appeared in front of him. Che Guevara calmly gave his name. The enemy immediately escorted him to the nearby village of Laigra. The enemy headquarters immediately sent in by helicopter senior officers and CIA agents. At dawn the next day, the commander of the enemy's military district and other leaders arrived by helicopter to confirm whether the captured person was Che Guevara and interrogate Che Guevara. Che Guevara was fearless in the face of danger and firmly replied to the enemy: "Revolution is immortal." Seeing that they could not bring him to submission, the enemy, with the consent of the Bolivian President and the U.S. Embassy in Bolivia, killed Che Guevara on the afternoon of October 9. On October 15, 1967, the Cuban authorities confirmed the death of Che Guevara and designated October 15 as "Guerrilla Day." On October 18, Cuban people mourned Che Guevara in Revolution Square. Fidel Castro, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and Prime Minister of the Revolutionary Government, delivered a eulogy and spoke highly of Che Guevara's life, calling him "an unparalleled fighter" and "an unparalleled leader." Che Guevara's famous saying I think revolution is immortal. On October 8, 1967, Che Guevara was wounded by government troops and arrested. The interrogator asked: "What are you thinking now?" Che said so. Let us face reality, let us be loyal to our ideals. A famous saying by Che Guevara printed on his chest by a student in Paris in 1968. I am Che Guevara. On October 8, 1967, he was unfortunately shot in the leg and was arrested while bandaging the wound. Che calmly said that wherever there is poverty, there will be me! The Soviets were addicted to the arms of their female secretaries and gave up continuing the revolution; in order to pursue their ideals, they gave up everything they had, bid farewell to Castro and left until they won forever, unwilling to die for their motherland. On July 3, 1997, Che's remains were found in Bolivia. Aleda quoted a famous saying from his father during his lifetime, please listen to the voices of the people! Che has opposed bureaucracy all his life and loved the people. Let me risk making people laugh. Let me say it out. What guides real revolutionaries forward is great love. When the news spread that "Che died trying to help the poor", no matter how high the reward was, the Bolivian farmers who had once whistled out of fear never reported on the guerrillas or even took the initiative to protect them. How can I turn my face in the face of other people's suffering? Che is a person who truly lived for his ideals until the final victory. Argentina, a biographical film about Che Guevara's life named after Che Guevara's famous saying "until the final victory" was premiered in Buenos Aires. 40,000 people gathered at the capital's football stadium. Singing from all over the world commemorated football is not only a sport, but also a revolutionary tool. Che has always been the goalkeeper because of asthma, he said: "But this problem football will bring incalculable psychological benefits to those people. They are usually treated as beasts rather than people. "As long as there is any injustice anywhere in the world, it causes the strongest anger. Che is a real citizen of the world. If the button was in the hands of the Cubans, the missile would probably have been fired. Che said this during the Cuban Missile Crisis and became the focus of controversy. This is a complex issue.
