During the summer vacation, my mother taught me a very nice song-"Country". Whenever I sing "I love my country, I love my home", I will think of the propaganda slogans "Patriotism, Innovation, Tolerance, and Virtue" seen in the streets. I know that this is our Beijing spirit.

I asked my dad: "Why does 'patriotism' rank first in the spirit of Beijing?"

My dad told me: "The spirit of a city should reflect its most unique characteristics. Beijing is the capital of China and a symbol of the country, so 'patriotism' best embodies the core of Beijing's spirit." After patiently explaining, he asked me with a smile: "But you are so young, you don't know what it is. Are you patriotic?"

"Huh, you underestimate me! Who said children can't be patriotic? I clearly remember the feeling of joy when I climbed the Great Wall for the first time and looked down at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. I will never forget the excitement I felt when I came to the Olympics to cheer for the athletes of my motherland and saw the five-star red flag rising. I will never forget the excitement and excitement when I saw the "Shenzhou 9" spacecraft successfully returning to the motherland on TV... Patriotism is this kind of feeling that comes from the heart, just like loving your own parents." I retorted unconvinced.

"Are you patriotic or do you love your family?" Dad continued to ask me with a smile.

Of course I love my home, because here are my beloved relatives and beloved pets; I also love the "new home" of the school, because here are my beloved teachers and dear classmates; I also love Beijing as a place. "Home", because I personally experienced the "7.21" heavy rainstorm and witnessed the true love between people in the disaster; I also love the "big family" of the motherland, because she has fifty-six people who love each other. nation, a vast and magnificent territory of 9.6 million square kilometers, and thousands of "little families" who love her... Thinking of this, I also smiled and answered my father in song: "'I love my country. I love my family, because 'a family is the smallest country, and a country is home to millions of families.'"

I smiled proudly when I saw my dad who was so happy to surrender.
