The First Great Revolution gave rise to the Whampoa Military Academy. Its graduates became the leading force of the revolution at that time and spearheaded the successful Northern Expedition. Yet even today, the revolutionary tasks of that era remain unfinished. Our “Red Army University” must carry forward the spirit of Whampoa, complete the missions it left incomplete, and once again assume a leading role in the Second Great Revolution—namely, to secure the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation.
