A few days ago, the child suddenly asked me, what is a hero for Dad? Is Xiang Yu a hero? Is Ultraman a hero? Is Superman a hero? Can I be a hero?
A series of questions, although I know the meaning, but for a primary school student, how to tell him in a way that he can understand, so that he can establish a correct cognitive view, I think I need to guide him with practical actions.
So I took him to see "Chosin Lake", and the whole movie was tested, and the whole time was very quiet.
After watching the movie, I asked him, are you saying that the volunteer soldiers are heroes?
The son thoughtfully replied in the affirmative: Yes.
So what do you mean by hero?
Dare to fight, not afraid of death, is a hero.
Yes, no. I said to my son, I ask you, bandits also fight, are they also heroes?
My son's cognition obviously did not understand, and I continued to ask, do you say that Xiang Yu is a hero?
Everyone said that Xiang Yu was strong in martial arts and overthrew the violent Qin, of course he was a hero?
Then you know that after Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong, he burned the Xianyang Palace, burned it for three months, and pit hundreds of thousands of Qin Dynasty soldiers and robbed a lot of treasures.
That Xiang Yu is not a hero? The son was stunned again.
During the pandemic, we were at home. Government personnel, doctors on the front line, risking their lives for everyone's safety and health insistence on working, are they heroes?
They certainly were, and they were playing on TV all the time.
Well, think about it, what exactly is a hero. In fact, this problem also requires my serious consideration, so I sorted out and consulted the information.
Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and established the first unified centralized state, unifying the script, unifying the currency, and unifying the weights and measures. The Great Wall was built in the north, resisting the Xiongnu and the Great Wall, attacking Lingnan in the south, the land of Baiyue, and expanding the territory, forming the original territory of China.
At the end of Qin, the mighty and powerful clouds rose, although the three families of Chu could perish in Qin, where there was oppression, there was resistance, this spirit deserved praise, but the disasters and injuries brought by it made it difficult to calm, the country fell and divided, the people were displaced and even their lives were difficult to protect, foreign tribes (Xiongnu) invaded, burned and looted, such a person will also be respected as a hero?! Is it to encourage children to behave like this to learn?
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country was in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt, but foreign countries were at home, and everyone longed for peace, not to mention the new China that had been fighting for hundreds of years and was poor and urgently needed to be built. For the sake of the country and the people, the volunteer army marched into Korea to defend the country against foreign enemies. There are many people who have given their lives, and many people who have been left with disabilities. The instructor in "Chosin Lake" said: If we fight the war, our descendants will not have to fight. Yes, in the next few decades, except for local wars on the border, no one dared to invade us in the form of force. They are heroes, everyone is a hero, a hero who should be remembered and celebrated.
The protagonists in "Meritorious Service" are for the development of the country and the people's lives, some of them throw their heads and spill blood, some risk their lives to insist on scientific research, and some still make outstanding contributions in ordinary posts. They are also heroes, role models that we should learn from, heroes that the next generation should know and be proud of, and perhaps one day become heroes like them.
Ultraman fights monsters and defends the earth, is a hero of mankind, but you can't do what they do; Superman is also a hero, but we are human beings, we can't go to heaven and earth, water and fire are not invaded, this kind of hero can only stay in film and television works. Too far away from us!
What is a hero, maybe today we sing and worship the people, one day through the effort you and I will also become you! Heroes are not condescending and ungrounded. They are like us, flesh and blood, and perhaps they come from us.
Such an answer tells the child that he does not know whether he can understand, but believe in them, will become more and more confident, more and more good at thinking. In their hearts, the hero will definitely have more and richer!
