The weight of the word "patriotic"

The road is long and far away, and the eager heart walks in the desert as in the pasture.

There was a sweet and witty interview with academician Liang Sili, the younger son of Liang Qichao and one of the founders of China's missile control system, on CCTV's Xiaocui Story.

Mr. Liang Sili went to the United States to study in 1941. Because of the Second World War, he was cut off from his family at the age of 17 and lost his economic source. He had to wash dishes in restaurants and canned peas in food factories. After 8 years of work-study and hard work, I majored in radio, and later read automatic control, and successively obtained masters and Doctor degrees.

In 1949, when he learned that the People's Republic of China was about to be founded, he did not consider all kinds of advantages and preferential treatment to stay in the United States and did not worry about the "royalist" descendants of the family, with a pure and simple patriotic heart, resolutely returned to China to participate in the construction of new China. The action of this intellectual confirmed two lines of Hugo's poem: "People can not live without bread, people can not live without the motherland."

On his way home by boat, he listened to the radio every day and finally heard the announcement of the founding of New China. The radio said the flag of Tiananmen square is only a "five-star red flag," Liang Sili returned with his compatriot, can't imagine how is a "five-star", then find out a piece of red cloth to stick the big five-pointed star in the center of the red cloth, the corners of four small stars on the red cloth, they are "five-star red flag" in such an imagination, in the ship's deck, opened a human A celebration of laughter.

There is no need to detail how many grievances and injustices he suffered in the political campaigns after his return. Just one thing. Once during his visit to the United States, he met his old schoolmate in Seattle, who was also Chinese and an expert in missile research. At that time, his annual salary was 3 million US dollars, but Liang Sili's annual salary was less than 10,000 RMB. In the interview, Trav asked him aggressively: You don't care about other injustices, but this must be a big stimulus to you, right?

Liang Sili, 85, was very calm and composed when asked questions. "The missile developed by that student may have been aimed at China at that time; I developed the missile, but to defend the motherland. I'm very proud of it!" All the guests responded with warm applause, and I shed tears.

"Patriotism", these two words of great importance, enabled Mr. Liang to maintain a philosophical attitude under any circumstances. The SMALL CUI TAKES OUT A PIECE HE DEPARTS HENAN WHEN RAISE A PIG'S PHOTOGRAPH: THE MISSILE EXPERT OF A TIE WHITE APRON STANDS BESIDE PIGPEN, THE PIG IN THE CIRCLE SEES HIM ESPECIALLY ACTIVE, THE TWO FOREPAWS OF A PIG BUILD ON THE WALL OF THE CIRCLE, SPECIAL FUNNY. When Mr. Liang saw this photo, he said happily that he always grasped the quality of pigs, and also grasped the quality of pigs. From breeding to delivery, from fattening to market, he strictly controlled the quality one by one but did not dare to kill pigs. He was comfortable talking about these bitter memories.

The greatest inheritance from his father, he said, was patriotism. He said many times, "My father once said, What is the use of living in distress like living in the desert? That's what I think. One should live an optimistic life."

After listening to the interview with Academician Liang Sili, I saw an old intellectual's patriotism, ambition to strengthen the country, and heart for serving the country. Also makes me deeply understand: "patriotic", is not an empty slogan, is not the speech in the "platitude", it is the life very concrete very vivid belief and pursuit. "Patriotic" two words, not general red ink blue ink can come out, is written with blood, sweat, and tears.
