Patriotism: the most basic value criterion of citizens

Chen ying

Patriotism is people's deep attachment and love for the motherland, and the corresponding practical actions. Patriotism is the most basic values and moral standards that every citizen should follow, and it is also the glorious tradition of the Chinese nation. For thousands of years, Chinese sons and daughters have held high the patriotic banner, emerged countless patriotic heroes and people with lofty ideals, and recited countless patriotic poems. Patriotism has long been integrated into the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. Patriotism, as the core of Chinese national spirit, has always been a powerful driving force to unite all ethnic groups and all walks of life, supporting the great practice of Chinese national unity, struggle, development and prosperity.

We are patriotic, because our motherland is magnificent and vast, because our motherland has a long history and splendid civilization, because we were born and raised in Sri Lanka, and every move of our motherland affects our hearts. In the long historical process, the people of China have experienced hardships, always been brave and unyielding, and worked hard to create brilliant economic, political and cultural achievements. All this has left a deep imprint on everyone in China, casting China's heart. Just like the song "My China Heart" sings: "Although the dress is old, the heart is still China's heart; My ancestors have put a Chinese seal on everything. " In the historical practice of the growth and development of the Chinese nation, we deeply understand the importance of the country and the necessity of patriotism, and understand that the fate of individuals is basically the same as that of the country and the nation: without the country, there will be no home, no personal freedom and happiness, and even no personal life and safety; Only when the country is independent and strong can individuals be free, rich and happy. As Dr. Sun Yat-sen said: "The country carries people's ships, and ships sail in the sea. When encountering storms, we should unite as one, help each other and seek economic benefits. " It is from this close relationship between individuals and the country and their profound understanding of this relationship that the people of China have a strong moral feeling for the motherland, and this strong patriotic feeling has been transformed into action and practice. How should we further carry forward the spirit of patriotism today when cultivating and practicing the socialist core values?

Patriotism means loving the people. We should respect our ancestors, who created China today; I love my hometown, my teachers and my friends. They all grew up in China like me. They are closely related to us, supporting and developing today's society. We should serve the people with a grateful heart and strive to repay the motherland, the society, the people and the people's livelihood. Patriotism and love for the people should start with filial piety, especially caring for special social groups such as the elderly who are lonely and lonely, and enthusiastically helping people in need. In particular, when emergencies and major disasters occur in the country, we should pay close attention to them, stand forward, take risks and do our best to contribute; Resolutely oppose the disintegration of all hostile forces at home and abroad and resolutely fight against all acts that harm the interests and honor of the motherland.

Patriotism means loving every inch of the motherland and cherishing the people's hard work and innovative spirit. The Chinese nation has recognized the importance of the natural environment since ancient times, emphasizing "harmony between man and nature" and "harmony between people" and paying attention to caring for ecology; China's traditional culture has always emphasized that "a porridge and a meal are hard to come by; Half a silk and half a wisp, it is difficult to think about matter. " These farsightedness have been confirmed by the environmental crisis, smog and water pollution caused by population expansion and industrialization in the world today. Protecting the environment can no longer wait, nor can it be shirked. We should inherit and carry forward the fine tradition of loving the motherland's great rivers and mountains, take immediate action, carry forward the fine tradition of simplicity and frugality of the Chinese nation, strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, make the sky blue and clear, and promote and guarantee the sustainable development of China's economy and society.

Patriotism means loving the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation. The excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation is a rich treasure house, which includes the philosophy of literature, history, science, technology and art. What is particularly worth cherishing is the spirit of "striving for self-improvement, respecting morality and carrying things", "independence and self-improvement", "respecting morality and being kind, and being United and friendly", which is the root and soul of our nation. The excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation is the cultural foundation and ideological support of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause, which is of great significance for enhancing our road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence and constantly creating a new situation in Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause.

The most important thing about patriotism is to love Socialism with Chinese characteristics. It was socialism that saved China and Socialism with Chinese characteristics that developed China. In modern times, the Chinese nation once fell into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal situation where people bullied and trampled on it, but it rose rapidly. After decades of unremitting efforts, the people of China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, held high the banner of patriotism and guided by Marxism, achieved a historic leap: national independence and people's liberation, established a new China where the people are masters of their own affairs, and established a basic socialist system; Carry out reform and opening up, build Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and gradually realize a historic leap from adequate food and clothing to a well-off society. Today, our motherland is changing with each passing day, with economic development, political stability, cultural prosperity, social harmony and remarkable improvement in people's lives. The Chinese dream of "national prosperity, national rejuvenation and people's happiness" is accelerating. Our motherland has never been so powerful and lovely as it is today. Living in such a country, as China people, can we not feel happy and proud? Can you serve the motherland without greater determination and enthusiasm?

To cultivate and practice the value principle of patriotism, we first need to study hard and work hard, especially to link our personal future and destiny with our motherland.
