(中英双语)2011年中国政府白皮书中英对照版----中国的和平

19世纪中叶，西方列强用炮舰打开中国封闭的门户，内忧外患导致中国逐步成为半殖民地半封建社会，国家积贫积弱、战乱不已，民不聊生。在民族存亡的危急关头，无数仁人志士前仆后继，苦苦追寻变革救亡之路。

In the mid- 19th century, Western powers forced open China ' s door with

gun boats. Internal turmoil and foreig n aggressi on gradually turned China into a semi-co lonial and semi-feudal society. The country became poor and weak, and the people suffered from wars and chaos.

1911年的辛亥革命，结束了统治中国几千年的君主专制制度，激励中国人民为争取民族独立和国家富强而斗争。然而，这些探索和斗争都未能改变中国半殖民地半封建的社会性质和中国人民的悲惨命运。中国共产党肩负民族的期望，带领中国人民进行了艰苦卓绝的奋斗，于1949年建立了中华人民共和国，实现
