2. The place where the emigrant once lived.

A country has two meanings: one is the motherland and the other is the country. There are differences and connections between the motherland and the country. So, does patriotism love the motherland or the country? In order to understand the difference and connection between loving the motherland and loving the country, we must first understand the motherland and the country. The motherland should be a living place opened by ancestors and a "fixed territory" formed by endless generations. Therefore, from the cognitive concept of national traditional culture, people usually refer to "a fixed territory" as the motherland, and give this territory a special meaning of endless life, worship, cherish and defend from generation to generation.

Therefore, China is the motherland of every Chinese son and daughter.
