Staring at the bright red national flag, the red national flag is rising slowly, waving in our gaze. She embodies the soul of the nation and inspires our spirit. Once upon a time, our nation and country suffered so much humiliation and suffered so many disasters for this flag. As a weak country with no diplomacy and the strong preying on the weak, the Qing Dynasty had no choice but to pull out the emperor's dragon robe and hang it on the flagpole. It was made a laughing stock by the Western powers. The seventeen-star Wuchang Uprising flag announced the end of history and opened up a new world. But among the heroes competing, you sing and I appear on the stage. No one’s flag can make the people feel proud. On the contrary, the Stars and Stripes, the Union Jack, the Plaster Flag, and all kinds of tiger and wolf flags have occupied our land, staining the sky of the motherland, and enslaving the suffering people. In Mr. Lao She's works, students in occupied areas, forced by bayonets behind them, raised the enemy's flag to celebrate the enemy's victory. What a heartbreaking and tragic scene it was! In the war years, the red flag summoned heroes and heroines to sacrifice their lives and shed blood for it. Fifteen-year-old Liu Hulan raised her hand in front of the red flag and swore that she had no regrets; Sister Jiang and her comrades embroidered the five-star red flag with tears in their eyes. Be brave and loyal; thousands of heroes hold the red flag, brave the hail of bullets, and rush towards death, with only a simple red flag covering behind them. Today, the bright five-star red flags are flying everywhere in the blue sky of the motherland; in the international arena, the five-star red flags are rising high; in front of the United Nations building, the five-star red flags are fluttering in the wind. This year the five-star red flag will celebrate its 50th birthday, and it will also fly over Macau. The martyrs should look back with a smile and be comforted. There are descendants who will carry the flag, and we are the generation of flag-bearers across the century. The five-star red flag is the symbol of the motherland. No matter how the situation changes, our attachment to the motherland remains unwavering. If faced with thousands of choices, we will embrace you without hesitation. Use the sound of your wind and rain as language; use the shape of your nature as words; use your land as skin color; use your five mountains as bones; choose your hard work as pain; choose your happiness as joy. The national flag, our eternal faith! Promote patriotism and be determined to make progress for the country. Patriotism is loyalty and love for the motherland. Throughout the dynasties, many people with lofty ideals have had strong thoughts of caring about the country and the people. They have taken national affairs as their own responsibility, served one after another, remained unyielding in the face of difficulties, defended the motherland, and cared about people's livelihood. This valuable spirit has enabled the Chinese nation to endure through disasters. The content of patriotism is very broad. Loving the mountains and rivers of the motherland, loving the history of the nation, caring about the fate of the motherland, fighting bravely in times of crisis, and sacrificing one's life for the motherland are all manifestations of patriotism. In the five thousand years of development of the Chinese nation, the Chinese nation has formed a great national spirit with patriotism as its core. It is precisely because of their deep love for the motherland that the hard-working and intelligent Chinese sons and daughters have jointly opened up a vast territory and created a splendid culture. We, who are responsible for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, must love the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and actively safeguard the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the motherland. No inch of the motherland’s territory must be lost or occupied by division; we must love the history and culture of the motherland and improve our national self-esteem. and self-confidence, and strive to create a more brilliant national culture. Today, our country has entered a new historical period. Joining the WTO has brought our country closer to the rest of the world. Opportunities and challenges coexist. We will face more and more new situations and new problems. To advance the great cause of my country's reform and opening up and accelerate the process of socialist modernization, we need to continue to carry forward the fine tradition of patriotism. Only in this way can the Chinese nation regain its glory and make greater contributions to human civilization and progress. If young people are prosperous, the country will be prosperous; if young people are strong, the country will be strong. We must adapt to the requirements of the development of the times, correctly understand the history and reality of the motherland, enhance patriotic emotions and the sense of responsibility for revitalizing the motherland, and build national self-esteem and self-confidence; carry forward the great Chinese national spirit, hold high the banner of patriotism, forge ahead with determination, and strive for self-improvement. Hard work and tenacious struggle truly turn patriotism into a journey of serving the country.
Study diligently to revitalize China today, and contribute your own strength to create a glorious future for the motherland tomorrow
