On April 19, 2008, in the République square in Paris, a sea of ​​red gathered. At least 5,000 Chinese wanderers who stayed in France wore uniform patriotic T-shirts, held national flags, rallied and gave speeches... Some of them were in Paris, some of them were in Paris. All of them from other provinces will gather here today to cheer and cheer for the upcoming Olympic Games in the capital of the motherland in their own way.

In response to the attitude of the Europeans, especially the French people towards China's Tibet issue and the Beijing Olympics, the French Chinese originally planned to hold a 10,000-person parade in Paris on April 19 to express their position. However, such a large-scale parade was not approved by the Paris police, so the parade had to be changed to a meeting. But no matter what form it takes, whether in Paris, London, Europe, or China, the Chinese nation's unifying gesture of unity is clearly revealed at this controversial moment. Not only the people of the world have seen it, but the Chinese themselves have also clearly seen that the Chinese nation has never lacked true cohesion. In the face of criticism and challenges from the outside world, the descendants of Yan and Huang will definitely hold together and not bow their heads. This in itself is a powerful and terrifying force. the power of.

However, how to find an outlet for such a huge force is a question that the Chinese people need to calm down and think about. The rallies and marches are exciting, but they don't really solve the problems that exist in us. Western media may have a tendency to demonize China, exaggerating and distorting some facts, but we cannot deny that there are still many problems in our country, and it is definitely not blameless. Therefore, Xinhua News Agency's latest editorial "Doing one's own business well is the greatest patriotism" in my opinion is a rational voice that guides the Chinese people from the power of the patriotic enthusiasm in their hearts to the real thing, and becomes a country that takes off in China. fuel.

All careers in the name of nobility must start with the most trivial, down-to-earth and even seemingly humble things.

I happened to watch "The Children of Yellowstone" today because of Chow Yun-fat and because I am also a child of Hubei. However, at such a moment, the touching and inspiration of such a story can only be described as shock.

George Hook - I prefer to call his Chinese name He Ke. As a British war correspondent during World War II, he originally came to China with the opportunity of maintaining peace and revealing the truth, but in Nanjing he witnessed the Japanese soldiers treating the people of Nanjing with his own eyes. Brutal killings, escaping from death again and again in the gaps in the battlefield, he finally arrived in Yellowstone, where he met a group of orphans who lost their families in the war, so he began to let go of the lofty mission of "reporting the truth to the people of the world", starting from the most trivial. Starting from small things, he loves these children in troubled times with his own words and deeds, and also interprets what is a real pacifist and what is a real humanitarian.

In this film, you can see the atrocities of the Japanese army against the Chinese people, and you can also see the indomitable resistance of the Chinese people. But what impressed me the most was the note that Li left to He Ke - "If you don't fight, you will be defeated in a hundred battles." I am amazed that a foreigner can have such a deep understanding of Chinese culture. There may be hatred, but the way to overcome hatred is to resolve it with the most plain and sincere love. Hogg sticks to such simple principles, and takes a different approach to what he had intended to do in miserable China. Until the end of the war, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, but his kind heart and the love of peace filled in it would never disperse.

In my opinion, such a film is appropriate in the current situation. We should not forget those international friends who fought great battles with the Chinese people, nor should we forget that the pursuit of peace and friendship for all mankind knows no borders; we should not forget that while shouting the slogan of China's rejuvenation, everyone The mission on our shoulders should not forget the little things that seem trivial; we should not forget that we must fight - sometimes fighting requires strength, but we should not forget more sophisticated weapons, It is tolerance and love in the hearts of people...

because history has taught us that wars will end and love will remain.
