Dear fellow citizens,
As we approach the middle of this year, we must reflect on the past 12 months and take stock of the challenges we have faced and the opportunities that have been available to us. In this context, I would like to share my thoughts on the theme of “爱国” that has recently emerged in the Chinese society.
“爱国” is a deeply rooted emotion in Chinese culture, which dates back to the time of the Qin Dynasty. It is a sense of loyalty and attachment to one’s country that has been passed down from generation to generation. In today’s world, this sentiment is no longer limited to the traditional values of loyalty and nation-building, but has expanded to include a broader range of activities and attitudes.
One of the most important aspects of爱国 is the sense of national pride and identity that it cultivates. It involves recognition of the country’s strengths, achievements, and traditions, as well as a commitment to building a better future for ourselves and for future generations. This sense of pride and identity is not only an important aspect of national pride, but it also plays a crucial role in shaping our values, beliefs, and behavior.
Another important aspect of爱国 is the sense of dedication and commitment that it requires. It requires us to work together, to support our country’s policies and efforts, and to contribute to its development and growth. It requires us to be open-minded and respectful of different opinions and perspectives, and to value the diversity of experience and knowledge that we bring to our country.
In conclusion，爱国 is not just a feeling, but a way of life. It involves a deep sense of loyalty, commitment, and pride that goes beyond just personal opinions and preferences. It requires us to work together, to support our country’s policies and efforts, and to contribute to its development and growth. As we continue to face challenges and opportunities in our country, we must remain committed to爱国 and work together to build a better future for ourselves and for our country.
