Combining history and reality, let’s talk about how to carry forward the spirit of patriotism under the current situation.

In contemporary China, whether it is establishing Japan as a target for venting emotions or publicizing the patriotic cases of certain overseas Chinese, a small disturbance can set off a wave of patriotic frenzy. Patriotism occupies the mainstream of contemporary Chinese social trends.

This makes me recognize this country and this nation less and less. This is this nation. During the Anti-Japanese War, there were often more than a dozen Japs and two to three hundred traitors. This is this nation that was able to exempt Japan from huge war reparations when the country was starving. This is this nation, and its elites are able to hold American green cards. The same nation, but wearing two completely different masks, no wonder the more I look at them, the more dazzled I become.

Occasionally looking through the history of the Song Dynasty, I discovered that during the 60 years of Fengboting’s unjust imprisonment, Yue Fei was an official taboo in the Southern Song Dynasty, and anyone who said anything casually was a serious crime. It was not until Song Xiaozong that he was rehabilitated. Later, as the official evaluation of General Yue Fei became higher and higher, Yue Fei also changed from a sinner to a totem of patriotism. There are many examples of this in Chinese history. As far away as Yue Fei, as close as Yuan Chonghuan, when Yuan Chonghuan was executed by Ling Chi, the people in Beijing competed for his meat to vent their indignation against the "traitor". The attack on Yuan ended until Emperor Qianlong vindicated Yuan. Reading history to this point, one cannot help but feel angry.

Those officially designated are patriots. As long as he has the power, Qin Hui can write a historical appraisal for Yue Fei. Use power to judge truth, and use imperial power to determine the history of rape. I see! With this as the key, Chinese-style patriotism can be largely understood.

In modern China, where the mountains and rivers are turbulent, the Confucian belief that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" has been infinitely amplified by reality. As a result, the Enlightenment was interrupted by the patriotic movement, in which the country undoubtedly played an important role. Patriotism has become a powerful tool for the country to manipulate public opinion and deflect domestic conflicts. The country has its own hands, Yuan Chonghuan can have an affair with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Qin Prime Minister can resist Jin Dongliang. In the case of absolute asymmetry of information, public opinion has always been the target of manipulation. Public opinion is not being raped, but clearly being raped.

China has never lacked the tradition of freedom and human rights, so China’s patriotism took a wrong path from the beginning. In China, patriotism in the modern sense is clearly malnourished. Patriotism without freedom, human rights, and fraternity is a Boxer-style mob, the SS under Hitler. For a nation, this kind of patriotism is an anesthetic and a bag of poison. The original meaning of patriotism is love. , but it has become hatred in China. This is our sorrow, and this is China's shame. Pseudo-patriotism is like a mirror, reflecting the pale face of China's enlightenment thinkers.

Let us get back on the right path. "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" must become "Everyone is happy, the country is responsible". Let the country become the bearer of responsibilities and let citizens become the owners of rights. The existence of the state is predicated on the consent of citizens. Only when the state becomes a night watchman, and only a competent night watchman, can it exist, and can its existence be approved and authorized by the citizens. Such a state is sovereign In a country of the people, this is the only legal country.

The country originally exists to protect the freedom, equality, and human rights of its citizens. If we want to be patriotic, first of all, the country must be legal, and secondly, the country must be competent and competent. Cute. If these two points do not exist, we will only indulge it if we love it, which is harming it and being irresponsible to ourselves.

If we just accept controlled education and media propaganda, Being blindly fanatical is not called patriotism, but just cockfighting on stimulants. If we are blindly fanatical just because we are influenced by the actions of the people around us, this is not called patriotism. It is just called blind obedience, impulsiveness and emptiness. If we are blindly fanatical because we can Being in the limelight and reaping benefits without any risk, followed by blind fanaticism is not called patriotism, but cowardice, vanity and speculation. Pseudo-patriotism will not only harm yourself, but also China.

Patriotism is not about boycotting Japanese goods, but about understanding that to surpass Japan, we must first respect Japan and learn from Japan. Respect is the expression of self-esteem, and learning is the forerunner of transcendence.

Patriotism is not about boasting about our ancestors. What we have created is what we can leave to future generations. Patriotism is not about clamoring for the liberation of Taiwan by force on the Internet, but trying to understand why Taiwan is separated from the mainland and taking a look at what inspiration Taiwan's political change process has for us. Patriotism is Bravely defend your own freedoms and rights. In this way, the country will understand that its power has boundaries, and it will become competent and lovable. Patriotism means working hard, creating wealth, and realizing your greatest potential. In this way, I can support myself and support myself. Family, feed the country. Patriotism means telling the truth and doing practical things. If the country does not let me do this, I must stand up bravely, criticize it, improve it, and rebuild it. Patriotism means that when the country infringes on my rights, someone must stand up Come out to protect your own rights and interests. If you do this, my personal freedom and rights will be protected, and our country will become legal, civilized, and lovely. This is the greatest patriotism
