If there were no COVID-19 epidemic in late winter and early spring, I'm afraid people at home would not notice the scale of international students in China, let alone know that there are so many "little international students" overseas.
More than eight months have passed, and I still remember the crying expression of the mother of a foreign student in a British primary school. After the outbreak of overseas epidemic, Britain carried out the so-called "universal immunization", which threatened the life and health of international students in Britain. Parents at home are very worried, so they can only turn to the state for help collectively.
At that time, netizens had great differences about whether the country should send charter flights to pick up these international students. Most netizens think that these young students are going for the nationality of the paper, and they don't agree that the state will send a chartered plane to pick them up.
Yes, some students studying abroad pursue the nationality of other countries. It is even more obvious that those young international students are not aiming at the quality of primary and secondary education abroad, but just to accumulate time to live and study in other countries. It is extremely unlikely that they will return to China to serve the motherland after their studies, and it is even more likely to join other countries' nationality.
Strictly speaking, I really despise people who give up their motherland and swear allegiance to join other countries' nationalities, and then talk about patriotism. Even if these people take patriotic actions after acquiring the nationality of other countries, I don't believe they are truly patriotic.
Then, there are more and more students studying abroad in our country, so it is more and more urgent to strengthen patriotic education for them and promote their return after their studies. So how to strengthen patriotism education for international students? I think preschool education should be emphasized.
We must strengthen patriotism education for the whole people. Why should we put this in the first place and add the word "affirmation"? This is a question of patriotism.
Through the patriotic education of the whole people, the state cultivates the people's national spirit and feelings of home and country, guides all people to love the motherland and the Chinese nation, puts national and collective interests and national spirit first in study, work and life, and understands that only when there is a country can there be a home.
Then our people, as parents, will naturally pass on this idea to their children and guide them to love their country, have a strong sense of national pride, and then love their motherland.
Patriotism education should start with dolls, and a child born from the womb is a blank sheet of paper, waiting for parents, schools and society to portray it. If strong patriotism is instilled in children from an early age, then children will feel that our motherland is great and important, and our nation is proud, and patriotism will easily take root in children's young hearts. Children who grow up in such an environment will still love their motherland whenever they study abroad. Even if you succeed in studying abroad in the future and work abroad for a certain period of time, you will still love your country and eventually return to your motherland.
On the contrary, if the concept instilled in children from childhood is that the west is developed and the United States and Britain are very good, then children will always miss the developed countries in Europe and America, lack true feelings for their motherland and nation, and even have contempt.
We should give full play to the role of international student organizations. This point does not belong to the pre-position of patriotism education for international students, but is regarded as the post-position. To tell the truth, they have all become international students. If they are not deeply patriotic, strengthening education at this time will greatly reduce the effect. However, it is not too late to mend. Overseas students should also strengthen patriotism education overseas. At this time, we should give full play to the role of international students' organizations in China, guide international students through such organizational education, and enhance their patriotism.
In addition, as parents of international students, we must play an active role. Parents and international students are related by blood, and parents' attitude directly affects and determines the patriotism of international students. No matter how good the patriotic education for international students is, parents say, "Just stay abroad and don't come back." All previous patriotic education may be equal to a circle.
To sum up, to strengthen patriotism education for overseas students in China, we should start with patriotism of the whole people, parents and dolls. When children have developed strong patriotic feelings, even if the destination country gives them higher treatment and better conditions, they will not love their motherland.
