China is a multi-ethnic country. There have been conflicts and wars between ethnic groups in history, and there have been many divisions in China's history. However, after every storm, the motherland is always unified. There are political, economic, social and historical reasons, but patriotism, as a moral norm, occupies an important position in people's minds, and people are unwilling to split the motherland.

Unity and unity became the common goal pursued by people during the separatist period. Today, Taiwan Province compatriots cannot return to the embrace of the motherland for various reasons. As college students, we should unite under the banner of patriotism and contribute our youth and strength to the reunification of the motherland.

(2) Patriotism is the mobilization force to defend the motherland.

China has been invaded by foreign countries many times in its history. At the critical moment when the Chinese nation is facing the threat of survival, great patriotism has pushed the people of China to create heroic patriotic achievements.

Today, some developed capitalist countries, led by Japan and the United States, are increasingly threatening China. As the saying goes, "if you fall behind, you will be beaten." As college students, we should arm ourselves with knowledge and use it to build our motherland. Once a foreign enemy invades, we should not hesitate to take up arms against the invaders and shed our blood to defend our motherland.

(3) Patriotism is an inspiring force to build the motherland and win glory for the country.

Our motherland once had an extremely civilized past, but in modern times, some internal and external factors led to the backward situation in China today. After the founding of new socialist China, under the leadership of China, patriotism encouraged people to win glory for the motherland and strive to make the motherland prosperous and strong.

In short, whether it is to resist the invasion of foreign enemies or to safeguard the unity and unity of the motherland; Patriotism is not only a great spiritual strength, but also an essential spiritual quality of our contemporary college students, whether it is to build a prosperous motherland or win glory for the motherland internationally.

We must take some measures, seek new ways and means, stimulate college students' patriotic enthusiasm, make their feelings rise to faith, help them establish a sense of mission and responsibility to devote themselves to the motherland, and turn ideals into actions.

1. Give full play to the role of classroom teaching as the main channel.

Classroom teaching is the main channel to cultivate college students' patriotism. Specifically, it refers to the regular classroom teaching activities of Marxist theory courses, ideological and moral courses and other related courses in the form of public compulsory courses with the teaching plan as the guarantee. Flexible use of the correlation between Marxism and ideology and morality, highlighting the purpose, planning and pertinence of patriotism education.

To stipulate the teaching content, class hours and student assessment methods, so as to make patriotic education regular and institutionalized. Teachers study the contents of teaching materials and educational methods, combine the latest situation and policies at home and abroad, and carry out patriotic education with the times, so that students can receive patriotic education and baptism easily and happily.

In addition, patriotism education for students is not only the responsibility of teachers of ideological and moral courses, but also the responsibility of teachers of other courses. In fact, every course involves some patriotic education to a certain extent, and every teacher should make great efforts to dig deeper, and at the same time, he should lose no time in repeatedly educating students about patriotism in class.

For example, through the education of China's modern history and basic national conditions, students' sense of hardship will be enhanced, and their sense of responsibility and mission to defend and build the motherland will be enhanced.

During the winter and summer vacations, organize more related activities to let students feel patriotic in practice. To embody patriotism in practical activities, we must first educate students to adhere to socialism in practice according to their ideological understanding; Secondly, in view of the lack of social responsibility of some students, we should guide students to deeply understand the national conditions, social conditions and people's feelings in practice, so that students can find their own position in society and enhance their sense of social responsibility and historical mission.

Third, in view of students' lack of affection for workers and peasants, their spirit of hard struggle and their weak sense of labor, we should guide students to make extensive contact with the masses of workers and peasants in practice and carry out education combining with them.

Patriotism has played an important role in both ancient and modern society. Although there are still many problems in college students' education, as long as we firmly develop college students' patriotism education and work together with Qi Xin, we will be able to solve the problems, truly promote the development of college students' patriotism education and play a powerful role in the future.
