Does anyone have a patriotic story that is neither long nor short?

The story of Zhou Enlai - never forgetting patriotism in every conversation

Many students often think that the spirit of patriotism must be expressed in bravely killing enemies on the battlefield or creating huge wealth for the motherland. However, our infinite love for the motherland can actually be reflected in our words. Premier Zhou has once again set an example for us.

Once, Premier Zhou Enlai held a press conference in Beijing, which was attended by many Chinese and foreign reporters. "Now, reporters, please ask questions!" As soon as Zhou Enlai finished speaking, a Western reporter stood up impatiently and stammered in Chinese: "Excuse me, Prime Minister, are there any prostitutes in China?" Regarding this dissatisfaction, Zhou Enlai calmly asked the question with good intentions, stared at the reporter, thought for a moment, and solemnly replied: "Yes!" This question and answer caused a commotion in the audience. The reporters were in a frenzy. Zhou Enlai then said: "Chinese prostitutes are in Taiwan Province of China!" As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause. Everyone knows that if we insist that there are prostitutes in China, then we have to recognize that Taiwan is Chinese territory. If we do not recognize that Taiwan belongs to China, then China will naturally not have a problem with prostitutes.

Of course the reporter was not convinced, and then asked: "Excuse me, how much money does the People's Bank of China have?" In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this sentence was of course a mockery of China's poverty. Zhou Enlai replied humorously: "The funds of the People's Bank of China are 18 yuan, 80 and 8 cents!" This answer shocked the reporters in the audience, and the audience was silent, all listening to Zhou Enlai's explanation. Premier Zhou cleared his throat and said loudly: "The denominations of RMB issued by the People's Bank of China are: 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 2 yuan, 1 yuan, 5 jiao, 2 jiao, 1 jiao, 5 cents, 2 cents, 1 cent Waiting for ten kinds, the total is 18 yuan, 8 cents and 8 cents per pound!" He paused for a moment and continued: "The People's Bank of China is a financial institution headed by the Chinese people and backed by the Chinese people. With excellent credit, stable currency value and strong strength, it is the most reputable currency in the world!" The Prime Minister's words once again aroused warm applause from the audience. The Western reporter was speechless and had to sit down with a blushing face.

The Prime Minister uses his sharp and witty mind to defend the dignity of the motherland. This national backbone is the best embodiment of the spirit of patriotism.
