What is a cat's duty? Eat fish? Obviously not, catching mice is its vocation, but when it can enjoy big fish and big meat, it completely forgets its vocation. This is similar to those who forget their origins as soon as they have a career, those who forget their poverty as soon as they have a good day, and those who forget to help their old friends as soon as they make new friends who can help them. For such people, interests always come first, and the principle of being a man can be completely abandoned. How many city people look down on rural people now, just because they have low cultural knowledge and uncivilized living habits, they spoil rural people and insult them. Don't such people forget? The last three generations, who is not from the countryside?
Throughout the ages, people who forget their roots have no good end. A movie star who wore a military flag because he forgot his nationality was criticized by people all over the country. Some corrupt officials were severely punished by party discipline and state law because they forgot the fundamentals of serving the people; Not to mention the war years, traitors who forgot their ancestors' surnames finally got a tragic end.
On the contrary, those who have always been self-aware and never forget their roots have always been respected and praised by people. Hua, a famous mathematician, was hired as a tenured professor by an American university. He has his own house and car and lives a rich life. However, he cares about his motherland. 1950, he resolutely gave up his rich life in America and returned to his motherland. He also wrote an open letter to China students studying in the United States, urging them to return to China to participate in socialist construction. In his letter, he revealed a childlike heart that loves China: "Friends! Although Liangyuan is good, it is not the hometown of longevity. Go back to Xi ... For the sake of the nation, we should go back ... "Although mathematics has no national boundaries, mathematicians have their own motherland. No matter how capable and capable a person is, he will never forget his motherland or his roots. It is in this spirit that many Chinese sons and daughters have given up their superior living conditions abroad and returned to the motherland for the sake of the construction of the motherland, because the fallen leaves have returned to their roots. As Professor Hua said: Mathematics has no national boundaries, but mathematicians have their own motherland.
In real life, a person who abides by his duty will also have the harvest and happiness he deserves. Li Ling, known as "the most beautiful rural headmistress after 80s", stayed when others left. She was still farming when others were harvesting. She carries the children's heavy dreams. She sowed the seeds of hope in spring, and educated and trained more than 300 children of different ages, most of whom were children of migrant workers. This rural female teacher has won the respect of everyone and touched the whole of China.
No matter how great you are, no matter how great you are, don't be so arrogant that you forget your roots. Once you forget your roots, your decline is not far away, so none of us can forget our roots.
