On the high cliff, there is a small grass and a big tree. One day, a storm suddenly hit, and the strong wind seemed to swallow everything. The grass bent down and allowed itself to be hit by the strong wind, no longer resisting; but the big tree did not move at all, still standing tall and tall. Before it was about to be blown away, the grass asked the big tree: "Why are you so tenacious?" The big tree smiled lightly and said: "My roots are much deeper than yours!"
Although this story is small , but it tells us a truth: Only when the roots are deep can the leaves flourish!
Throughout history, there have been countless literati and scholars who have been famous throughout the ages, generals and soldiers with outstanding martial arts skills, and enlightened monarchs who have won the world. They are all practitioners of "deep roots". The famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi spent all day and night forgetting to eat and sleep in order to practice calligraphy well. I was so focused on writing that the steamed buns were dipped in ink without even realizing it, so I ate it in one bite. If he hadn't practiced hard day after day, how could he have written the astonishing work "Preface to the Lanting Collection"? Zu Ti, a general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was very ambitious when he was young. In order to serve the country, when he heard the rooster crow in the middle of the night, he would get up, draw his sword and practice martial arts, and exercise hard. If he hadn't practiced martial arts assiduously, how could he have stood out and become a famous general? Tang Taizong Li Shimin can be said to be a wise king of his generation. During his reign, he worked hard to govern, recruit talents, win the hearts of the people, and lay the foundation of the country, so as to create the prosperous situation of "Government of Zhenguan". Historical experience reminds us that only when the roots are deep can the leaves flourish!
Facing the present, China is rising rapidly. This giant dragon stands in the east of the world and is about to create a new era of glory! In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's comprehensive national strength was still very weak, but we were not discouraged and actively carried out peaceful diplomacy with other countries. Finally, China resumed its legal seat in the United Nations in 1971. Since the reform and opening up, our country has always focused on economic construction, and has always adhered to the Chinese path while experiencing rapid economic development. It is the hard work of generations of people that has made our country stronger and stronger, and the construction of the "Belt and Road" can now achieve such dazzling results. The rise of China tells us that only when the roots are deep can the leaves flourish!
Looking to the future, the historical responsibility of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation falls on our shoulders. In the learning process, we must pay attention to the basics and accumulate more knowledge so that we can contribute more to the motherland in the future. In life, we must also pay attention to details. In every little thing, hone your will and improve your abilities.
The wheel of history is always moving forward slowly. On the road to pursuing dreams, we must not only look up to the stars, but also keep our feet on the ground. When the road ahead is too smooth, don’t forget to stop and tell yourself: Only when the roots are deep can the leaves flourish!
