In July 2001, Beijing bid for the Olympic Games, my sophomore year, in Hefei, when the school was not yet on holiday, several classmates crowded in front of the TV set waiting for news.
The school was strictly controlled, requiring that we must be bedridden after ten o'clock, but a few of us violated the rules and quietly hid to watch the live broadcast.
To tell the truth, the atmosphere at that time was not good, for the Olympic bid, there were many people complaining on the Internet, some thought that the people were hurting money, some thought that the application could not be done, in short, it was classified as thankless.
At first, I thought a few of us were concerned about the end result.
However, when Samaranch read the word "beijing" in a thick voice on the TV, the sound coming from the window momentarily confused me, and I found that the whole building cheered.
Soon, we reacted and started jumping and screaming.
He also crouched down on the window and cried wolf to the outside world, completely ignoring the school's rules.
Subsequently, the entire dormitory area was drowned out by cheers.
I don't know who started, and we started singing the same song hard:
"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind
How loud the victory song was
Sing our dear motherland
From now on to prosperity and prosperity..."
The song is sung over and over again.
Immediately after, the road outside the school also began to be lively, some people put the national flag obliquely on the door of the car and whistled past, followed by the motorcade is also planted with different sizes of national flags, the people in the car shouted, also singing the motherland, the body jumped with the song, as if it was also singing.
As we passed by our dorm room, we yelled at them and they yelled at us, and for the first time I noticed that the deformed face wasn't ugly either.
All kinds of cheering and singing until 1 o'clock at night, finally slowly calmed down, only to remember, MB, the next day to take the exam.
Later, when I went to the Internet to understand, I found that the whole country was roaring and singing that day.
Don't you guys not care about the Olympic bid? Doesn't it mean that the Olympic bid is a waste of money?
This is China.
No way, there is always a moment that makes you want to sing about the motherland, even if she is not perfect, not rich, and even makes you want to complain, but this is the place where I was born and raised, this is the China that Chinese!
In January 2011, when tensions broke out in Libya and civil war broke out, the personal safety of many ordinary people in Libya was not guaranteed, including tens of thousands of Chinese compatriots.
Many of these overseas Chinese are working abroad, and there are also some international students and tourists. In the face of sudden war, under normal circumstances, it will only be reduced to "refugees".
Refugees, for Chinese, are a word that is unfamiliar, but for people living in Libya, it may only happen overnight.
At that time, there were not a few foreigners in Libya, and eventually we Chinese all withdrawn. Of course, there are many foreigners who can't leave there until later, and they become refugees, and their lives and deaths are unknown.
For this evacuation, the Chinese government mobilized 200 passenger planes and evacuated tens of thousands of overseas Chinese to China in just 10 days.
The phrase "Chinese go first" has excited countless Chinese.
In the process of evacuating overseas Chinese, everyone sang the national anthem, held up the national flag, and constantly waved and cheered.
On the Internet, there is an article titled "Libyan evacuation witnesses tell you that reality is more burning than < Wolf Warrior 2 >", and the author is the first-hand witness of the evacuation.
He wrote: "In the days when we were trapped, I never thought of the word 'refugee', nor did I think that the word could be associated with myself, although at that time we may have been considered refugees, but I always believed that we could return to our homeland."
I think this may be the sense of security that the state brings to us, which is deeply embedded in the bones, embedded in the souls of Chinese, making us feel that the word "refugee" and Chinese will not have any connection in any way, and the facts have indeed proved this. ”
China is not the strongest in the world, but the Chinese government is definitely the most concerned about the people in the world.
Why should I sing about you, because you not only raised me, but also reassured me all the time!
In June 2021, the Sultanate of Oman, a low-profile Middle Eastern country, has about three thousand or so Chinese living there. During the epidemic, some people have been vaccinated in China, but about 2,000 people have not been able to be injected because of their long-term work and living there.
In the case of the epidemic raging madly, the protection of these people has become a big problem.
You know, except for a few developed countries and China, other regions can not achieve vaccine popularization at all.
For some small countries, even if they have money, they may not be able to get vaccines, and the rich in these areas have to fly to other countries to get vaccinated.
According to media reports, in the black market of some countries, Chinese vaccines were once speculated to tens of thousands of yuan.
As a result, it is almost impossible for Chinese in Oman to obtain the vaccine from the local level.
However, not long ago, the local Chinese feedback that it had been marked.
It turned out that in order to protect the safety of these more than 2,000 people, the Chinese government sent 100,000 vaccines to Oman in one go, donating them free of charge, the only condition was: "We must Chinese first!" ”
The Omani government readily promised to send the best doctors in the country to vaccinate Chinese in good faith.
Willing to work 50 times harder to get 1x protection, this is our government.
How would we feel if we were one of those two thousand people?
Netizens sighed,
Although China is a country with a population of more than 1.4 billion people,
But the state does not neglect the needs of a few individuals because we are too many.
Even the two thousand compatriots in the small country of Oman are always remembered and protected by our motherland.
How could this not bring me to tears!
Yes, at the critical moment, the motherland is the people's backer.
In order to provide protection for Overseas Chinese citizens, the Chinese government has been promoting the COVID-19 vaccination program, known as "Spring Seedling Action", around the world since May this year.
According to incomplete statistics, as of June 29, 2021, the "Spring Seedling Action" has assisted more than 1.7 million overseas Chinese citizens to receive Chinese and foreign COVID-19 vaccines in 160 countries.
In order to ensure that all overseas citizens can get the injection, the Chinese government provides dozens of times the vaccine to these countries for free, and the only requirement is to "let the Chinese first"!
The motherland has never been just plains, mountains, rivers, she has nurtured us, remembered us, here are our roots, our souls, here pinned on our hopes, our dreams.
In 2001, 2011, 2021, whether it's ten years, twenty years, or a hundred years, we love here, sing here.
We pray that this country will grow stronger and stronger, because we believe that wherever we go, the Five Star Red Flag will do everything in our power to give us safety and dignity!
I have heard some people say that on the U.S. passport, there is a sentence that reads: "No matter where you are in the world, the mighty United States of America is always your strong backing, remember that you are a U.S. citizen."
At the same time, they did not forget to smear that Chinese passports read" please strictly abide by local laws and respect the customs and customs there."
Later, I learned that the people who spread this rumor had never taken a Chinese passport or a U.S. passport.
The Chinese government has never put its domineering words on its lips, but she has told you with her actions that no matter where you go, the motherland is your backer.
No matter how far you fly, the motherland is your eternal confidence.
