Preface to Speech on Promoting Traditional Virtues

Carry forward the national spirit and be a great China person.

Dear teachers and students:

Hello everyone!

This afternoon, the teachers and students of our school gathered here again, because September is our national spirit month every year, and the theme is "carry forward the national spirit and let it be passed down from generation to generation."

When it comes to national spirit, it is necessary to turn over the long history of China for 5,000 years. We can see an ancient history in which an ancient oriental nation is constantly developing and growing, and also a modern history full of struggle and humiliation.

In ancient times, before some western countries appeared, the industrious and intelligent people of China had invented gunpowder, compass, papermaking and printing, and entered a relatively developed stage of civilization; When Qin Shihuang unified China and practiced unified writing throughout the country, civilizations in many parts of the west had not yet originated ... Yes, our country is an ancient oriental civilization with thousands of years of development history, our Chinese nation is an excellent nation with thousands of years of traditional culture, our China is great, and our China people are great, right?

However, when we look at the history of China in the last 100 years, we feel heart-wrenching pain: at that time, our country was backward in military and science and technology, but many western countries developed rapidly. They took a fancy to our beautiful mountains and rivers and envied our vast territory and rich resources. They used the gunpowder we invented in China to blast the door of China and invaded our country: they burned and looted our country at will, and they poisoned us with opium. They want us to lose our fighting spirit and strength and be their slaves willingly. Like robbers, they burned our Yuanmingyuan and robbed us of countless national treasures. They treat our people as bacteria experiments and rule our people like livestock. At the most dangerous time of the Chinese nation, we did not bow to the western powers. We United and started a hard struggle. We fought with blood and life for the reunification of the motherland, for being the master of our own country, and for holding our heads high-Mr. Wen Yiduo of China Revolution bravely raised the flag in the face of enemy guns and shouted: Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world; Zhou Enlai studied hard for the rise of China; Mr. Lu Xun used the pen as a weapon to awaken the people of China to resist; Li Dazhao founded the China * * * Production Party and led the people throughout the country to fight for freedom and liberation; Nie Er, a revolutionary musician, created March of the Volunteers, which inspired the people of China who didn't want to be slaves to stand up and cast a new Great Wall with their flesh and blood. Huang Jiguang, Qiu, Liu Hulan and other people's heroes shed blood and sweat for the revolution and went through fire and water; The industrious and brave people of China, under the leadership of the * * * Production Party of China, are striving for self-improvement and unity, braving the enemy's gunfire and striving to create a new century. ...

1 949 65438+1October1,the new China was established! The people of China won the victory of the revolution by virtue of their national spirit of loving the motherland, being hardworking, brave, indomitable and constantly striving for self-improvement. Bright five-star red flags are flying in the motherland, and March of the Volunteers has become our national anthem. We are no longer oppressed slaves! The people of China have stood up! However, we dare not forget that painful history and the bloody lesson of "being behind will be beaten". For more than 50 years, we sang march of the volunteers every day and continued to struggle. Last year, we defeated SARS with comprehensive national strength and successfully launched the manned spaceship Shenzhou 5 with science and technology ... Encouraged by the national spirit, we began to build a well-off society in an all-round way and are realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This is a new undertaking, a great undertaking, and a responsibility and a heavy burden for each of us in China.

In the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation, there have been many heroes and people with lofty ideals. "Xiu Yuan Road is long and its Xiu Yuan is awkward, and I will go up and down." Qu Yuan's scientific spirit of pursuing truth has inspired many Chinese sons and daughters to serve the motherland. "Poverty can't move, power can't bend, and wealth can't be immoral." Mencius' teachings inspired and made many great China husbands and national heroes. The story of Yue Fei's loyal service to the country, Lin Zexu's feat of eliminating opium in Humen, Sun Yat-sen's mind of "the world is public" and Zhou Enlai's belief of "studying for the rise of China" all remind us of the touching history of the Chinese nation. From the four great inventions in ancient times to the flying of the Five Gods today, how many great myths have China people interpreted? The national spirit of China people is the crystallization of China's 5,000-year history of civilization. The national spirit of the people of China is composed of countless lofty spirits, such as Yao Shun's spirit of surrender, Su Qin's spirit of stabbing stocks, Su Wu's spirit of herding sheep, Kong Rong's spirit of letting pears, Qu Yuan's spirit of seeking heaven and lying on the moon. As Mr. Lu Xun said: "Since ancient times, we have had people who have worked hard, people who have worked hard, people who have defended the people, and people who have sacrificed their lives for the law ... This is the backbone of China." Yang Liwei, the first "space messenger" in China, became the first China visitor in the vast space with superhuman quality and courage, and he once again stood up the backbone of China people. When Shenzhou 5 remains in our memory as a glory, Shenzhou VI and Shenzhou VII will soon come into our sight. At present, Yang Liwei and his colleagues have put into intense training to make full preparations for the next flight. We believe that more China people will carry forward our great national spirit with practical actions, so that our national spirit can be passed down from generation to generation.

However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. To realize the great cause of national rejuvenation, everyone in China needs to start from their own jobs and small things. We are also constantly inheriting, cultivating and carrying forward the great national spirit with our own practical actions. We learn from Lei Feng and help everyone in need with practical actions. We use a cup of light green tea and a thoughtful greeting to honor our parents and inherit the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. We respect teachers, respect morality, be civilized and polite, and reflect our manners everywhere. We study hard, improve our quality in an all-round way, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with practical actions. Influenced by traditional culture, we also look at the world and receive international education. Every one of our classmates shines with the brilliance of national spirit.

When we are sitting in a spacious and bright classroom, reading excellent poems at all times and in all countries, should we reinterpret the fighting spirit of the ancients? When we read "like fireflies, like snow", should we cherish today and turn it into mine? When we swim in the Internet age, should we be proud to know what's going on in the world and read thousands of books without leaving home? Students, look at every teacher around you. They work hard every day. While guiding you to learn knowledge, they also teach you how to be a man. Our teacher, in order to cultivate your good hygiene habits and meticulous quality, she personally mopped the floor with the students and checked the discarded scraps of paper drawer by drawer, because she knew that the students were hygienic at school today and would protect the environment outside the school tomorrow. Some of our teachers volunteer to tutor underachievers, because they know that teachers' efforts will moisten students' hearts like a trickle, and tomorrow students will, like teachers, dedicate their abilities and wisdom to society when the motherland needs them; How many teachers, despite their hoarse and sore throats, try their best to teach well, because they know that the value of life lies in the classroom. Only a vibrant classroom can stimulate energetic learning and ignite students' yearning, admiration and pursuit of civilization. Tomorrow's students will realize the truth, goodness and beauty, guide a civilized spirit and become the pillars of the motherland ... the spirit embodied in these ordinary teachers. The national spirit is passed down from generation to generation. Students, today, you learn to study, increase your knowledge, exercise, hone your will, cultivate civilization, cultivate your sentiment, experience practice, cultivate your passion and increase your wisdom on campus. But ten or twenty years later, you will have to complete the historical mission of building the motherland and rejuvenating China. Therefore, you should inherit and carry forward the national spirit and make comprehensive preparations. From now on, you should start from a small place, let the national spirit be reflected in every link of study and life, and achieve self-study, self-reliance, self-improvement, self-care and self-care; Study hard, observe discipline, care for the environment, be helpful and lead a totally clean life; You should behave in a civilized way, don't eat snacks, don't litter on campus, and take care of everything on campus; You should learn from Lei Feng, form good moral habits, behave in a civilized way, create a new image and touch your life.

Finally, let's jointly carry forward the national spirit of loving the motherland, unity, peace, diligence, courage and self-improvement, so that the Chinese national spirit can be passed down from generation to generation! China's traditional culture has a long history and is profound. The times have endowed our national spirit with newer and wider contents. "The past is gone, count the romantic figures, and look at the present." As long as we all start from now, from ourselves, from small things, aim high, be down-to-earth, inherit Chinese culture and carry forward the national spirit, we will certainly be a great China people!
