When I first heard General Secretary Hu's exposition on "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces", I had an indescribable feeling, just like a long drought comes with rain, because it solved a difficult problem that has puzzled me for many years and I don't know how to deal with it. I have always felt that since the theory of opening up and invigorating the economy was put forward in the early 1980s, China's economy has developed by leaps and bounds and its gross national product has improved by leaps and bounds under the impetus of the market economy.
However, while the economy is developing at a high speed, the improvement of the overall quality of our people is far behind the pace of economic development, which has caused various abnormal phenomena in today's society. Money worship and worship of foreign things have seriously dragged down the economic development. The exposition of "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" put forward by General Secretary Hu correctly grasped the crux of the problems arising from the times, put forward solutions to the problems, clearly distinguished the boundaries between honor and shame, and provided extremely important reference for all citizens to establish a correct socialist concept of honor and disgrace.
Among the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces", I want to talk about the article "I am proud of loving the motherland and ashamed of endangering the motherland", because if "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" is the correct socialist outlook on life, values, world outlook and honor and disgrace, then "I am proud of loving the motherland and ashamed of endangering the motherland" is the general outline of this discussion, and the other seven articles are all around this article.
But now I want to ask such a question. What should we do to love our motherland in today's society? As we all know, in ancient times, "loyalty to the monarch and patriotism" was the first concept that everyone should remember; In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, fighting Japanese aggression meant loving the motherland, but in this peaceful era of rapid economic development, what is loving the motherland? From primary school to university, every school has never stopped educating us about patriotism. The heroic sons and daughters who shed their blood for the motherland are remembered by us and constantly inspire us. However, the era of heroes has gone away from us after all. These educations are not of great practical significance to us, nor can they clearly guide today's young people, thus resulting in two kinds of extreme people in today's society. One is represented by "cynics", who are extremely resistant to countries such as Japan and the United States, but they will not let go of things from these countries. I think this is wrong. After all, people's technology is more advanced than ours, so we should introduce it in order to learn and use it. The other is represented by "Hahan and Hari", who are crazy about everything in these countries and even forget their nationality, which is of course even more undesirable.
In fact, there are many behaviors in today's society that can be called patriotism, such as: doing one's job well is patriotism; Paying more taxes for the country and paying taxes on time is patriotism; Even planting a tree on Arbor Day can be regarded as an act of loving the motherland. To sum up, I think that loving the motherland in today's era should be reflected in: starting from every little thing, winning glory for the motherland through our own efforts, not discrediting the motherland, contributing to the development of the motherland, and striving to make the motherland take off as soon as possible. This is what every citizen should do.
It's easier said than done. Nowadays, many people think that people with high academic qualifications have high quality and know more about patriotism, but they are not. I am here to tell you a true story: one of my classmates is studying in the United States now. He works in the post office. His boss is David, a lovely little old man. Most people who come to this post office know him. Sometimes a customer forgets to put a stamp on a letter, and he will post it at his own expense. He is a helpful person and is not obsessed with money. One morning at work, the post office received a postcard, which was sent to a China girl who used to live in David's house, but the girl returned to China last year1February. I don't know why someone suddenly sent this card recently. Originally, this kind of postcard only had to be written "Everyone is gone" and then put back in the mailbox, but David suddenly got angry. My classmate felt very strange and asked him what happened. Then David began to say to him with indignation:
It turned out that this girl suddenly came to the post office a year ago and said that she wanted to find a job. At that time, there seemed to be only another China girl Zhou Xing who worked in the post office, so Zhou Xing told David that someone was looking for a job. David thought the girl was Zhou Xing's friend, so he let her come to work without saying anything. Soon after work, the girl said that she wanted to find a house to live in, because she was going to graduate and wanted to attend the graduation ceremony before leaving. But now that the house contract has expired, it is difficult to find a short-term house for several months. She asked if she could live in David's house. David happened to have an empty room in his house, so he let the girl live in it. After seeing the room, the girl asked for a new bed and carpet ... as if David were the landlord. David was puzzled at that time: Why did you treat me as a friend when you first asked to move in? A minute later, I immediately became your landlord and wanted to help you change this and that. But David quit his job and kept buying new carpets and beds ... but he promised to charge the girl rent. But the more troublesome thing is behind. Since the girl moved in, she has been telling David what to do, regardless of others, just for her own convenience. For example, a girl told David that she needed refrigerator space to put things, so David helped her make room. The girl also asked David: Why did you buy so much milk? ! Take up so much space in the refrigerator? David thought, this is my house. I like fresh milk. Besides, I only bought two bottles. David said that Zhou Xing, another China girl who lives in his home, said that she couldn't believe the way the girl spoke to David and his wife. This is just one of many things. Later, David and his wife finally couldn't stand it. They asked the girl to leave. The girl said yes, but it takes time to find a house, and David agreed. A few days later, maybe Monday or Tuesday. The girl told David that she wanted to advance her salary, because David usually pays her salary when she goes to work on the last day of the week, which is Saturday. David wrote her a check in advance, and she deposited it in her account that afternoon. The next day, David came home from work and found that the girl's house was empty, only a pile of garbage was left, and the rent had not been paid before. When David angrily ran to the bank and tried to stop the check, it was too late.
Later, my classmates also learned that the other party who sent the postcard was a debt collection company, and they also wanted to pay the girl another sum of money to apologize. It is conceivable that this girl has had a bad influence on the image of international students in China and even China, and there are many international students like this. Therefore, in order to love the motherland, we should not only improve our academic qualifications, but also improve our comprehensive quality. This is the way everyone should go.
For us young people who have just joined the work, loving the enterprise should be the embodiment of loving the motherland, because only when the enterprise develops can we pay more taxes for the country and promote economic development. I am determined to take "eight honors and eight disgraces" as the motto in the future, start from my own shortcomings, start from small things, start from details, pay attention to every bit of work, take the honor and disgrace of the enterprise as my own honor and disgrace, be honest and trustworthy, be diligent and love the people, and unite to help my colleagues. While doing a good job, we should also learn to charge with the spirit of the company's "two sessions" in a targeted manner to contribute to the company's future development.

Love the motherland
The motherland is the mother who nurtures us and the cradle of life. We should be proud that we are from China. Our motherland has a long history of 5,000 years, and a large number of heroes have emerged in the long river of history. They fought to the death with the enemy for every inch of the motherland. Because of them, our efforts and sacrifices, our motherland has become rich and strong. Therefore, we should always say to ourselves, "I am from China, and I am proud of it!"
The spiritual world of mankind is like an unattainable mountain. It is the responsibility of every climber to climb this mountain, because there is the great spirit of the Chinese nation on the peak, which is the ideological essence formed by the Chinese nation in the long-term struggle: unity, peace-loving, hardworking and brave, and self-improvement. We should always remember.
We should cultivate patriotism from an early age. President Mao Zedong advocated the lofty ideals and goals of learning. He once said that some people seem to study hard, but the purpose is to dress and eat for themselves in the future, for their own personal interests and for personal fame and fortune. This is a hopeless man. We should always seek the truth of saving the country and the people, study hard to transform the country and society, and make contributions to our country and nation.
Patriotism should start with small things first. When raising the national flag, young pioneers should salute the team, and students who are not young pioneers should pay attention. We should cherish the red scarf in our daily life and be proud of being young pioneers. You should wear a red scarf at school. You can take it off on the physical education class, fold it and put it in your schoolbag. Put the red scarf on the bed when you get home, so that you can wear it when you get up the next day. Red scarf should be cleaned regularly and kept clean. Although these are just trivial matters in daily life, they fully reflect their patriotic consciousness.
Secondly, patriotism should establish lofty aspirations, establish and cultivate correct ideals and beliefs, be full of hope for one's own future, and be determined to work hard for one's own future, so as to build the motherland into a country with three civilizations: material civilization, political civilization and spiritual civilization, and then advance to the ideal position that the * * * production party attaches importance to. Therefore, we should cherish and seize every second of childhood, exercise and cultivate noble morality, master rich knowledge, and make preparations for building the motherland and rejuvenating China.
It is also necessary to improve their own quality, with creative consciousness, efficiency consciousness, enterprising spirit, scientific spirit, democratic legal concept, labor concept, independence and self-protection ability, and comprehensively improve their ideological and moral quality, scientific and cultural quality and physical quality. By then, we will truly become a new generation full of vigor, swagger, study hard, practice boldly and be brave in innovation. This book has given me great inspiration and taught us how to be patriotic, how to contribute to the motherland and benefit the people. Let's move towards the goal of "caring for the motherland and growing up healthily"!

Proud of loving the motherland and ashamed of endangering the motherland —— On establishing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace
The socialist concept of honor and disgrace advocated by Comrade Hu Jintao is "eight honors and eight disgraces", which firstly emphasizes "being proud of loving the motherland and being ashamed of endangering the motherland". This is the inheritance and development of the excellent moral tradition of the Chinese nation, a clear manifestation of the spirit of the times, an important content of establishing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, and of great practical significance for inspiring the national spirit with patriotism as the core, for rallying the strength of the whole nation, and for striving for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
It has a long history. No matter how many vicissitudes and great changes have been experienced, Chinese sons and daughters have always adhered to their incomparable loyalty and infinite love for the motherland. Countless people with lofty ideals have made unremitting efforts and perseverance for the prosperity of the motherland and the dignity of the nation, sacrificed their lives for justice, and worked hard for the country. Together, Qi Xin has created a splendid Chinese civilization and written the glorious history of the Chinese nation. As Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out, "China people have their own national pride and pride. It is the greatest glory to love the motherland and contribute all one's strength to the construction of the socialist motherland, and it is the greatest shame to damage the interests, dignity and honor of the socialist motherland. " Patriotism with love for the motherland as its core content is the inexhaustible spiritual power and traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, a great force to promote China's social and historical progress, a spiritual pillar of the people of all ethnic groups, and a glorious banner to inspire the people of the whole country to unite and struggle.
Love my China and my motherland. It is China's * * * production party that led the people of China to advance wave after wave, and made our motherland embark on the road of prosperity, democracy and civilization. Facing the complicated and changeable international environment and profound domestic environment, and facing the right and wrong of "loving the motherland" or "endangering the motherland", everyone in China should stand under the banner of patriotism without hesitation, firmly establish the concept of "being proud of loving the motherland and ashamed of endangering the motherland" and resolutely oppose any act of endangering and splitting the motherland. Every * * * party member and every leading cadre should take the lead in firmly establishing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, be a model of loving the motherland and the people, unite and lead the broad masses of the people, and work hard to safeguard the unity and unity of the motherland and build a prosperous, strong, democratic and civilized socialist country.
A nation should emphasize national justice; Every citizen should put the national interest first. Only in this way can a nation stand on its own feet among the nations of the world and a country be prosperous and strong. To know Rong Ming's shame and love the motherland, we should focus on patriotism education, guide the broad masses of cadres and people, especially teenagers, to strengthen their moral cultivation, be proud of loving the motherland at all times, and be ashamed of endangering the motherland, especially consciously link their own future and destiny with that of the motherland, and condense their patriotic enthusiasm into the great cause of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Concentrate on working together for the prosperity and reunification of the motherland, form a good fashion of loving, loyal and dedicated to the motherland in words and deeds, and create a good atmosphere of "being proud of loving the motherland and ashamed of endangering the motherland" in the whole society.
