Looking at the account that has not been updated for a long time, there are suddenly more comments.
Clicking on the content of the comment, I can't laugh or cry a little.
An article written in 2021, because it was Christmas Eve, had more views again.
The reason is that in 2021, I wrote an article titled "There is no Christmas after Changjin Lake, but patriotic feelings should not be defined in this way".
I understand that some emotional readers are excited about the text, and even can't help but leave a message in the comment area.
Christmas Eve and Christmas are coming, so let's take a look.
They came from all over the world and held out day and night on the border line. "I am willing to use the youth of my generation to defend the prosperous China!"Thank you, salute!
In the face of the flood and extinction, the Western choice was to select a pair of each species and hide in Noah's ark.
In the face of the flood and the extinction of the world, the eastern Dayu passed the door three times without entering, and led everyone to dig and dredge the river and successfully "control the water".
In the face of difficulties, two philosophies and two attitudes, this seems to be naturally engraved in our DNA, so our interpretation of Christmas Eve is that our safety is guarded by our people's soldiers, and it is obtained by thousands of people who stick to their posts, and it is also obtained by countless ancestors who shed their blood.
Every tranquility we enjoy and every inch of mountains and rivers we have stepped on are all won for us by our ancestors with the belief of victory, so we are very fortunate and should be cherished.
So you see, what is the definition of Christmas Eve for us?The same is the guardianship, do we pin our hopes on myths?No, we believe more in the happiness created by our hands.
Insert a cold knowledge that is not too cold, there is no tradition of giving apples on Christmas Eve in the West, in fact, think about it, apples are given to each other because of the homonym "peace", which is very strong color of peace and joy in the East, which is naturally unique to us. Kind Chinese will always add all kinds of blessings of peace and joy to the beautiful festival.
Do you remember the "Halloween" in Shanghai some time ago?
Compared with the Western theme of horror elements, emphasizing all kinds of fright, with a strong dark tendency, when Halloween landed in Shanghai, what did we see?It's a variety of cosplays, what is the most out of the circle?It's this Ying who imitates Na Ying, and it's an amateur blogger who imitates Xiang Tai.
We played out of flowers, but also played out of joy, looking at the ** comment area of the fire abroad, many netizens left envious and praising comments, they sighed that we could play unscrupulously at night during the curfew, and sighed that we had all kinds of joyful cosplay
This is what I think of as "definition".
I understand the patriotic enthusiasm of netizens.
Because December 24 is the day of victory in the Battle of Changjin Lake for us, and it is the night of victory for the volunteers.
That is not in line with our interpretation of "peace" once.
Remember, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are not exclusive to the United States, nor are they exclusive to any of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, etc.
Therefore, compared with the Western style, we have our own interpretation, understanding and memory points of this day.
Christmas has a Chinese flavor Compared with the boycott of some friends, I think it is a little too worried, we can be pleased to see that our national style, we can see the young people's respect for traditional culture, our lovely ancestors, really left a valuable wealth.
Therefore, the biggest impression I have in China is that China has a huge charm, and it can "sinicize" foreign culture, and the fancy cosplay of Halloween is not "foreign skin, Chinese stuffing".
In addition, the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution by consensus to designate the Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) as a United Nations holiday.
As a traditional Chinese folk festival, the Spring Festival is not only a day for family reunion, farewell to the old and welcome the new, inheriting the concepts of Chinese civilization such as peace, harmony and harmony, but also carrying the common values of all mankind such as family harmony, social tolerance, and harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
We have self-confidence, and we have more confidence in confidence.
So, I think it's a cultural exchange, and I also think that patriotism is not a boycott of the festival but a new definition.
