China's tragic spirit is exactly China's tragic fighting spirit . Provoking and carrying forward China's tragic spirit in fact equals to provoking and carrying forward China's tragic fighting spirit. No matter whether it was the mythical bird jing-wei trying to fill up the sea with pebbles, which has already died but still strived to fight against something as a soul or the Foolish Old Man removing the mountains, with very limited and deficient personal strength but the descendants advancing wave upon wave, this was the concrete behavior of tragic spirit that Chinese nation refused to compromise and fought against the evil to the end.

Justice strength reaches perfection in morals without any offence and injustice. Justice strength at last wins over and eliminates evil force and reaches historical progress and ethical progress unity by means of untiring efforts and struggle in the continuity of this kind of real world reunion. Say briefly, China's tragedy is the ruin of the tragic personage's human body, but its spirit is immortal. Reunion in essence displays this sort of immortal spirit and uncompromising fighting concretely.And what really clears up China's tragic spirit is the fate mythology of this kind based on literature and art . Though the fate mythology from literature and art most probably displays at the beginning of some artistic works, sometimes it appears in the end as well.
