Hunan was relatively quiet until 1910 when there were uprisings against the crumbling Qing dynasty, which were followed by the Co unist's Autumn Harvest Uprising of 1927. It was led by Hunanese native Mao Zedong, and established a short-lived Hunan Soviet in 1927. The Co unists maintained a guerrilla army in the mountains along the Hunan-Jiangx border until 1934. Under pressure from the Nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) forces, they began the famous Long March to bases in Shaanx Province. After the departure of the Co unists, the KMT army fought against the Japanese in the second Sino-Japanese war. They defended the capital Changsha until it fell in 1944. Japan launched Operation Ichigo, a plan to control the railroad from Wuchang to Guangzhou (Yuehan Railway). Hunan was relatively unscathed by the civil war that followed the defeat of the Japanese in 1945. In 1949, the Co unists returned once more as the Nationalists retreated southward.
1850年，太平天国起义在广西南部爆发，起义蔓延至湖南，并进一步向东蔓延至长江流域。最终，曾国藩率领的湘军进军南京，并于1864年镇压了起义。
1910年前，湖南一直相对平静，后来爆发了反对正摇摇欲坠的清朝的起义，接着是1927年的秋收起义，领导者是湖南人 ，并建立了短暂的湖南苏维埃政权。1934年前，一直在湖南江西交界的山区打游击。在国民党军队的压力下，他们开始了著名的长征。离开后，国民党军队在第二次中日战争期间抗击日军，一直守卫着长沙，直到1944年陷落。日军当时发动一号作战计划，企图控制武昌至广州的铁路。1945年日军战败后，湖南在内战中并未遭受多大损失。1949年，国民党撤往南方，再次回到长沙。

感谢分享秘史navneetkumarbakshi
Hello Suchisree,
Life is a long process of continuous learning. Incidentally I am being sent all this information by the Chinese which I wouldn't have bothered to look for. We would have never learnt about these places and known about them.
Navneet生活是一个持续不断的漫长学习过程。偶然地，我收到中国读者发来的信息，这些信息原本我是不会去找的，我们本来永远不会了解这些地方。

One thing amazes me of China which I have learnt from your blogs- China is such a beautiful blend of culture and modernism.Old charm and values blending so well with modern architecture and development. Just shows you can embrace the new with out eroding the old values !!
Beautiful pics,lovely info- always a treat to read your blogs
regards
从你的博文了解到的中国，有一点让我惊讶，即中国如此完美地融合了文化和现代主义。古老的魅力和价值与现代建筑和发展完美地融合在一起，它表明你可以在不损害旧有价值观的情况下拥抱新的价值观！
看你的博文就是一种享受。navneetkumarbakshi
yes indeed Vijay there is such a smooth blend of modernity with culture that you can help but marvel at their aesthetic sense and rationale. Even though most of what I bring here these days is not seen by me but the pictures don't lie. It's not that the people are clicking some pictures of good places and sending to me, my own brush with the truth is what bowled me over.
Navneet现代与文化平滑地融合在一起，你不禁会惊叹于他们的美感。虽然这些天发上来的图片并非是我亲眼所见，但图片不会撒谎。读者也不会专找好的地方拍，然后发给我。

hi,i notice each blog these days,though seldem reply them.
but the pics of this bolg call up memories of my journey in Changsha,even it was abot 8 years ago when i went to Changsha the last time.
thank your blog ,and thank Zhengiao.
这些天，我关注你的每一篇博文，不过很少留言。
本文的图片唤起了我长沙之旅的记忆，上次去上海大约是8年前。
谢谢你撰写博文，谢谢郑晓。navneetkumarbakshi
Thanks Aaron for coming here and leaving the comment. It is not necessary that everyone who visits my blog post must leave a comment. Thanks to Zheng iao but let's see when I get to visit Changsha.
Navneet并非每个访问我博客的读者都必须留言。谢谢郑晓，看看我什么时候会造访长沙。

Navneetji,
Please convey my hearty thanks to Zheng iao for the chronologic historical data furnished in a brief package with seducing photographs. But his narration abruptly stopped at 1949. I thought he would have gone a bit further to explain how Mao Zedong took over entire China. Thanks for having a good friend in China and projecting lovely scenery of China.
I visited Beijeing in April, 2013 and I have also posted a blog on Great Wall of China in this site under Travel category which you may like to see if you wish.
请代我向郑晓转达忠心感谢，他简明扼要地按年代介绍了湖南的历史，并配上了诱人的图片。
然而，他叙述到1949年就戛然而止了。我以为他会进一步解释毛是如何打下全中国的。多亏了在中国有这么一位好朋友，展现了中国的美景。
2013年4月，我造访了北京，也在本站的旅游分类下发了一篇关于中国长城的博文，或许你会有兴趣看。navneetkumarbakshi
Hello Bankim Ji- Most of the text in the bolgs on China is searched by me as the Chinese who write to me and send the pictures have very limited knowledge of English but all of them are enthusiastic about telling of the achievements their country has made. They don't give as much credit to Mao and whether he was right or wrong is debatable. By snatching away the land from the feudal lords and distributing it among the poor, he really acted like a messiah.
Navneet本文的大多数关于中国的叙述是我从网上搜的，因为给我写信的中国人的英语知识非常有限，但他们都热衷于讲述他们国家所取得的成就。他们并未给毛多大赞许，毛是对是错是有争议的。剥夺封建地主的土地，然后分给穷人，他就像是一个大救星。

Great, Changsha is changing very well and more beautiful, I went to Changsha first in 1996. Now JUZIZHOUTOU is very beautiful. So I will decide to visit Changsha this year secondly by bullet train
棒极了，长沙大为改观了，变得更漂亮了。1996年时，我第一次去长沙。如今，橘子洲头非常漂亮了。我决定今年第二次造访长沙。这次是坐高铁。navneetkumarbakshi
Oh really? Is there a bullet train for Changsha? I will also like to travel in the bullet train. Last time when I travelled to Wuhan the train was running at 250 Km/Hr. At what speed does the bullet train run?
哦，真的吗？真的有通往长沙的高铁？我也喜欢坐高铁。上次去武汉坐的火车的速度为250公里每小时。高铁跑的速度是多少？

Changsha high train station is one station of beiing to guangzhou high train line including major stations below: beiing, shijiazhuang, zhengzhou, wuhan, changsha, guangzhou.

长沙高铁车站是京广高铁上的一个车站，京广高铁的大站有：北京站、石家庄站、郑州站、武汉站、长沙站和广州站，跑的速度是300公里每小时。今年春节，我坐高铁去了郑州和武汉。

Uni from Naning
我的家乡在长沙附近。过去几年，长沙追赶的速度是惊人的。长沙被称为中国的“娱乐之都”。navneetkumarbakshi
Hello Uni,
Which is your hometown? Why is Changsha called The entertainment capital of China? I will definitely come to see it one day :) Nice to hear about the response. Did you post the blog and my message for suggesting the Sub-sections of the blogging portal?你的家乡在哪里？为什么长沙被称为中国“娱乐之都”？总有一天，我必将造访长沙。

I saw the statue of Chairman Mao, this is an entertainment city. Many people like TV programs from this city. Thank you for your share
我看到了的雕像。长沙是娱乐之都。许多人喜欢看长沙的电视节目。感谢分享。

I think it's too exaggerate to call Changsha "the entertainment capital of China"
我认为把长沙称为中国的“娱乐之都”太夸张了。
ymcao
changsha is my hometown, hunan's characteristic is four distinctive seasons, and hunaner like eating pepper. therefore, hunan people have fiery nature, bearing hardship and stand hard work.
长沙是我的家乡。湖南的特征是四季分明，湖南人喜欢吃辣椒。因此，湖南人性情暴躁，能吃苦。navneetkumarbakshi
Hello Hunanes. Fiery nature? Are they hot tempered also :) ? So that means I should be careful when I meet you or another person from Hunan.
Navneet性情暴躁？也脾气暴躁？ :) 也就是说，以后要是碰到你或者碰到其他湖南人，我应该小心就是了。

It is sacrilegious to compare Mao with Mahatma Gandhi.
把毛和圣雄甘地比较是亵渎神明的行为。
