Nowadays， some countries are still trapped in the plight of the epidemic， which is in sharp contrast to China’s “prosperous land and safe people”． I don’t mean to laugh at any country or to gloat over their misfortune． But it is worth learning that the Chinese can put the overall situation first， “sacrifice the small families for everyone”， and comply with the government’s management measures， when the personal interests conflict with the national ones．

When it comes to the feelings for home and country， I have to mention a doctor from Hunan Province whom I got to know at the Asian University in South Korea． Although his family was poor， his grades were excellent and he earned scholarships all the way through doctorate． His life was very simple， but he studied very hard． I had lost all information about him after I went to study in China， until by chance， I learned from other friends that the doctor has graduated and returned to China． I thought he would use his diploma to find a high－paying job to improve his family situation and living standards， but my friend’s words made me respect the doctor instantly． My friend said， “He went back to his hometown in the country and has become a village teacher．” The doctor had often talked about “Study for the rise of China” and “Education is the last thing to sacrifice”． I never took it seriously， thinking he was just joking and never expecting him to do so． Never had I expected that I could also feel the family and national feelings engraved in the bones of the Chinese people in an ordinary rural student．

“I have no regret to be a Chinese in this life， and I still want to be a Chinese in the next life．” This is a comment I often see in China’s online media， whether on TikTok or Weibo． It sincerely expresses Chinese people’s love for the motherland and the pride of being Chinese． Great China， towering China． Despite of wars and vicissitudes， the Chinese people have inherited the Chinese soul， and will pass it on to future generations， without stopping．
