Carry forward the revolutionary spirit and inherit the tradition.

Today, at this solemn flag-raising ceremony, we stare at the national flag stained with martyrs' blood, and feel that our thoughts have returned to that arduous and eventful autumn: old China was traumatized by war, bullied by imperialism, and its people suffered suffering and humiliation. There used to be an eye-catching sign in front of the park in old Shanghai, which said, "Chinese and dogs are not allowed in." Foreign ships wandered in Huangpu River, overturned China civilian ships and drowned China people. At that time, foreigners did whatever they wanted in the land of China, and China people had lost their basic human dignity. When the motherland was in danger, countless patriots stepped forward and sacrificed their blood for the independence and reunification of the motherland and the liberation of the people. From Qiu Jin, the heroine who spared no expense to buy a treasure knife and mink for wine, to Zou Rong, who is full of blood and thrifty, she can still transform Bi Tao; From Sister Jiang to Liu Hulan; From Huang Jiguang to Dong Cunrui ... countless heroes wrote heroic patriotic movements with their lives. Don't they know the value of life Don't! They cherish their lives very much, but they deeply understand that as China people, it is their responsibility to defend and save the motherland when it is in danger. For the liberation of the motherland, the martyrs shed blood in the war, stood firm in prison and stood upright on the execution ground. They exchanged their lives and blood for the rebirth of the Chinese nation.

Although the heroes have laid a solid foundation, their career is not finished yet. Compared with developed countries, China is still poor and backward. In order to realize the dream of a strong nation and make the ideals of martyrs come true, every descendant of the Chinese people is duty-bound to shoulder the historical responsibility of building a prosperous and strong motherland. Yes, China is still very poor at present, which is why we need to explore and build a beautiful home. America used to be poor. American cowboys never had Coca-Cola when they developed the west, but their descendants didn't complain, wait and see, or escape and betray. With the efforts of generation after generation, they have become rich and powerful. China, a poor country, needs this kind of car-scrapping, inheriting and realizing the wishes of martyrs. We must work hard and strive for self-improvement Who doesn't want their motherland to become stronger and stronger? Who wouldn't want to proudly call themselves China people abroad? The motherland is the root of the nation, and patriotism is the soul of the nation. Any great nation in the world regards patriotism as its spiritual pillar and source of strength.

The train of the times has entered the 2 1 century, and the new century has injected new connotations into patriotism. Patriotism is no longer nothing, and patriotism is no longer manifested as bloodshed and sacrifice for the motherland. Today, we are here to talk about patriotism. I think we should first settle down in our work, study, love our school and dedication. Imagine that a person who doesn't love his job, his school and his study of scientific and cultural knowledge can talk about patriotism.

Today's world is a high-tech competition field, and the competition will be higher and higher after China's entry into WTO. As China people, especially contemporary middle school students, we should actively and diligently study scientific and cultural knowledge and master science and technology. This is not only the need of China's modernization, but also the need of our personal survival and development. However, knowledge is beyond our dreams. If we reach out, we can only study hard today and accumulate over time. Students, today's patriotism is to study hard and become a pillar of the country as soon as possible; Teachers, today's love and dedication to the school is the best measure of patriotism. Isn't it the best embodiment of patriotism to train outstanding talents who can support the backbone of the Chinese nation for the motherland?

"You must know that learning is difficult, but you should care about diligence." Teachers and students, let's seize the day and work hard. Let's comfort the martyrs who are buried under the pine tree with excellent results.
