Rational patriotism is a sincere understanding of the supremacy of national interests. Facing the brutal butcher's knife of Japanese fascism, it is the highest interest of the Chinese nation to be loyal to opposing aggression, defending territorial integrity and safeguarding national dignity. It is the recognition of this supreme interest that the Chinese nation, regardless of north and south, regardless of people, old and young, United under the banner of the Anti-Japanese War, formed a powerful anti-Japanese national United front, achieved unprecedented national unity, and buried the crazy dream of Japanese militarism annexing China in the sea of Wang Yang in the people's war. In today's era, building a well-off society and making the country rich and strong is the highest interest and common goal of all China people. To achieve this goal, we must let all the vitality of labor, technology, management and capital compete to generate, and let all the sources of creating social wealth fully flow in.
Rational patriotism means persistent adherence to great beliefs. Whether it was the Japanese invaders' "three-light policy" or the invaders' brutal slaughter of cities, whether it was during the period of strategic defense when the enemy advanced and I retreated, or during the arduous period of strategic stalemate, the people of China were always United as one, United as one, and died. After eight years of tenacious fighting, they finally won an all-round victory in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Today, our goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way and realizing the country's prosperity cannot be smooth sailing, and we will continue to encounter such difficulties and bumps. This requires us to firmly believe in winning, persist in development, give full play to the strength and wisdom of the whole people, improve the comprehensive strength of the country and the quality of life of the people, and firmly grasp the initiative of development and international competition.
Rational patriotism is the rational action ability to safeguard the core interests of the country. If you lag behind, you will be beaten, and development will be strong. Today, we should safeguard, realize and develop China's core interests in the era of openness and globalization. As responsible citizens, we should observe the world from a broad perspective, from the perspective of China and from the perspective of China. Rational patriotism and narrow nationalism are completely different. In the era of globalization, there are cooperation and competition between countries, and the friction and conflict of various interests is almost the normal state of this era. For the conflicts and contradictions of interests between China and other countries and regions, we should have the correct judgment ability and rational behavior ability, not impetuous, not blindly obedient, not arrogant, not selfish, not using the topic to make irrational behaviors that undermine social stability and harm national interests, but to make our actions really conducive to the orderly, healthy and stable development of the country. Only in this way can we truly seize the development opportunity, truly safeguard the fundamental interests of the country and realize the lofty ideal of strengthening the country, enriching the people and rejuvenating the nation.
China is a big country going to the world, which has great influence on the world. China people's patriotism should also be broad-minded, broad-minded and inclusive. The patriotism of young students is to learn skills in a down-to-earth manner, cherish good learning opportunities in peacetime, and turn patriotism into a learning motivation. The patriotism we advocate must be conducive to the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation. Only by rational patriotism, our patriotism will not be influenced by external stimuli, our passion will not be used by conspirators, and patriotism will become a spiritual resource to promote social harmony and national interests, thus benefiting everyone in society. Only by carrying forward rational patriotism can we realize the glorious dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and finally win the respect of the world.
