After an extraordinary 2023, we have ushered in a new year. On the first day of 2024, in the warm atmosphere of the whole country celebrating New Year's Day, the "Patriotic Education Law of the People's Republic of China" was officially implemented, clearly incorporating patriotic education into the national education system.
Patriotism is the deepest and most enduring emotion in the world, and it is the source of a person's morality and meritorious service. Mr. Sun Yat-sen said that the biggest thing in being a man "is to know how to love the country." * The General Secretary noted: "To promote the spirit of patriotism, we must take patriotic education as an eternal theme. "It is of great and far-reaching significance to better inspire and mobilize all the people to work hard and move forward bravely and resolutely by carrying out patriotic education among all the people in accordance with the law, inheriting the national spirit, strengthening the national concept, strengthening and uniting all patriotic forces, and making patriotism a firm belief, spiritual force and conscious action of all the people.
During the festive season, we cannot fail to mention "home" and "country". "Home is the smallest country, and the country is tens of thousands. "The prosperity and strength of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation must ultimately be reflected in the happiness of thousands of families and the continuous improvement of the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Only when every household is good can the country and the nation be good. At the same time, we must also realize that only when the country and nation are good can the family be good.
The happiness of tens of millions of families comes from everyone's struggle. As the general secretary said in his New Year's message, "the hard-working farmers, the hard-working workers, the entrepreneurs who dare to break through and dare to fight, the children of the soldiers who defend the family and the country, people from all walks of life are sweating, and every ordinary person has made extraordinary contributions!""God rewards hard work. We have worked hard for ourselves and our families, not only reaping direct rewards, but also contributing to the motherland as a member of society, becoming a trickle of great development forces, so as to indirectly contribute to the happiness of ourselves and others from a macro perspective.
To strengthen patriotic education, inherit and carry forward the spirit of patriotism in the new era, it is necessary to let every Chinese establish a clear concept, unify love for family and patriotism, integrate the realization of personal goals and dreams of family into the national dream, and let the 1.4 billion Chinese sons and daughters think in one place and work hard in one place -- "To realize the Chinese dream, we must take the Chinese road, carry forward the Chinese spirit, and unite Chinese strength." "We must understand the history of the Chinese nation, uphold the Chinese cultural genes, and have national pride and cultural self-confidence;We must always think of the country and the people everywhere, so that "those who benefit the country love it, and those who harm the country do evil," closely link our ideals with the future of the motherland and our own life with the destiny of the nation, take root in the people, and dedicate ourselves to the country.
In today's chaotic world, the evolution of changes in a century is accelerating, and the number of uncertain and unpredictable factors has increased significantly. The realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is in a critical period, with calm and turbulent waves. The closer we get to the goal, the more complicated the situation, and the more arduous the task, the more we must consciously integrate patriotism, the will to strengthen the country, and the dedication to the country into the struggle to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, build a strong modern socialist country, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Patriotism and hard work. Patriotism cannot stop at slogans, patriotism is concrete and practical, and it needs to be written with struggle. No matter what field we are in or what industry we are engaged in, we must do what we need to do in a down-to-earth manner. By making patriotism a firm belief, spiritual strength, and conscious action, and by making concerted efforts and forging ahead courageously, we will certainly be able to gather the majestic power of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation, and work hard and unite along the broad road of Chinese-style modernization to create new and greater miracles.
