I used to think that life was a very boring process. Apart from the minor episodes in the process, it was just the sun that came back and forth to me. This feeling is especially obvious when I use the remote control to adjust the TV from one station to that station, and then back from that station, but cannot find any program I want to watch. That hazy, numb and empty feeling!
But 2008 is destined to be an extraordinary year, in which passion is ignited again and again.
In April, the Beijing 2008 Olympic flame arrived in London. On the TV screen, so many overseas Chinese gathered on the streets of London. Under their yellow skin, the blood of the Chinese nation flows. They held banners such as "Go China" and "Go Olympics" and spontaneously formed a human wall to resist interference from lawless elements. In front of the camera, a female international student being interviewed was already crying. Look at the scene, how many people have the same expression as her! That century-old dream will come true in the motherland that I have longed for; the sacred fire that is about to be lit in Beijing will light up the sleepless nights of countless Chinese homesickness. The powerful motherland will always be the strong backing for them in a foreign land. In 2008, it stands proudly on the rivers and mountains!
The passion in my heart was ignited by the patriotism of the Chinese sons and daughters.
May brings a bit of the lazy atmosphere of late spring and early summer. The ground shook. That afternoon, I vaguely learned the news from other people’s conversations. Earthquakes are not uncommon, and I don't pay much attention to them. But when I browsed the news online, the data about the Wenchuan earthquake was so shocking. As time goes by, I see a China united as one. Medical staff left their families behind and rushed to the earthquake area as quickly as possible. Armed police officers and soldiers carried out rescue operations in extremely dangerous conditions. Entrepreneurs who usually show their stinginess poured in their money to help. There was a long queue at the blood donation office. The government Policies to assist people in the disaster areas were immediately introduced... At that moment, all public opinions that were unfavorable to China were silenced, and a strong and calm China stood in the hearts of people around the world. The collective strength is conveyed in everyone's heart, and the motherland is a home that cannot be collapsed. The wall built with love is stronger than anything else, and it embodies the strength of all Chinese people.
The passion in my heart was ignited by the Chinese people who are united and have great love despite the great disaster.
During the Olympics, I didn’t get to see many complete games because I had to go to school, but I don’t regret it, because what I like to watch the most is the award ceremony. Regardless of the nationality of the champion, even if no Chinese wins a medal, all Chinese spectators in the stadium will stand up when the national anthem is played, and the audience will be solemn. The champion turned around with the bouquet and waved to the people in the stands. Everyone had a smile of joy on their faces. It was a sincere smile from the heart. Cheering for others reflects a Chinese style. Chinese people greet guests and friends at home and abroad with incomparable national pride and self-confidence.
I hide my thoughts in reverie. China, China, is really a great word. How can such a country be far from being truly powerful? I seemed to see a giant dragon hovering on the top of the east. In front of me was the dazzling sun, and under my feet was the vast land, extending to the end.
The fire of passion is burning in my heart. 1.3 billion passions form the backbone of China’s unfailing.
