Zhang Yimou has had a strong sense of national consciousness and responsibility since he was a child, and he has made great contributions to the inheritance and development of Chinese culture. Although he was later involved in the "superbirth" incident and faced a huge fine, he did not evade responsibility, insisted on paying the penalty money, and did not change his Chinese nationality. This fully reflects his patriotic spirit of "paying tens of millions of dollars for the motherland rather than being a Chinese."
Patriotism starts from sticking to one's heart
After achieving great success in her acting career, Tranquility chose to develop in the United States and married an American actor, but the two later divorced. Although she could have renounced her Chinese citizenship at all, she did not do so.
Because her feelings for the motherland in her heart have never changed. This spirit of sticking to one's heart and not forgetting one's original intention is admirable.
Patriotism starts with small things
Fei Yuqing gave up love and was unwilling to give up his Chinese nationality. He chose to return to China to develop his career and never changed his nationality. Just like his singing, Fei Yuqing uses practical actions to interpret what is called Chinese heart.
Patriotism starts from the heart
Donnie Yen grew up in the United States and has American citizenship. However, after he chose to return to China for development, he took the initiative to apply for a change of nationality and become a Chinese citizen. This fully shows that he has a heart and knows the country and is ashamed.
Patriotism starts with insisting on speaking Chinese
The fundamental reason why Jay Chou can sing popular Chinese songs is that he insists on writing in his native language. He openly stated that he was a Taiwanese singer and refused to use English. This reflects his responsibility as an artist to inherit Chinese culture.
Patriotism starts from little things
Jackie Chan not only does not change his nationality, but also requires that his family members and descendants cannot change their Chinese nationality. Under his influence, generations of Chinese celebrities have not forgotten their roots and inherited Chinese culture. This spirit of leading by example is really worth learning from every Chinese.
Patriotism is not just a matter of verbal language and superficial form, but must be practiced through practical actions.
Zhang Yimou, Ningning, Fei Yuqing, Donnie Yen, Jay Chou, Jackie Chan and other artists used their life choices and practical actions to interpret what is called true patriotism.
Their lofty patriotic sentiments are awe-inspiring. In this eventful autumn, the Chinese should inherit and carry forward their patriotic spirit, start with themselves, start from small things, and protect our common homeland with practical actions.
