"Frugality cultivates virtue" is a famous saying of Zhuge Liang. Diligence and thrift can not only accumulate wealth, but also cultivate the spirit of hard work and enterprising qualities. The rise of any nation and the prosperity of any country in the world are all achieved through long-term hard work. The tradition of diligence, thrift, and hard work is also the "family heirloom" of the Chinese nation. Today, we advocate rational, moderate consumption and low-carbon living habits, and the "family heirloom" cannot be thrown away.

On June 1, 2008, a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup were what General Secretary Hu Jintao had for lunch when he was in the earthquake-stricken area of ??Gansu. The tent where the general secretary ate was a canteen for soldiers, built in a remote high-altitude mountain village in the earthquake-stricken area of ??Gansu. The soldiers' lunch was relatively sumptuous, but General Secretary Hu Jintao only ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetable soup. Seeing this TV picture, many people's eyes were filled with tears, and feelings of reverence arose spontaneously.

Chairman Mao Zedong once profoundly pointed out: "It will take decades of hard work to make our country prosperous and strong." After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, Chief Designer Deng Xiaoping warned the entire party: " Hard work is our tradition, and we must pay close attention to the education of hard work and simplicity in the next sixty to seventy years. The more our country develops, the more we must promote the spirit of hard work and entrepreneurship, which will also help to overcome corruption.” When General Secretary Hu Jintao was studying and inspecting in Xibaipo, he once quoted the words of Xue Xuan of the Ming Dynasty to warn everyone: "Frugality and simplicity are the virtues of man, luxury and luxury are the great evil of man."

Look at us now, Walking into the school canteen, the food is quite rich, including chicken legs, pork chops, and large ribs. Compared with General Secretary Hu Jintao’s food, we all eat better than him, but some of us throw it away after taking one bite. What a waste! Don't they know, "Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work?"

Now every child is the apple of their parents' eyes. When they have food, they open their mouths, when they come with clothes, they can stretch their hands. If you don’t eat it, you can only throw it away, so each of us must take action, be diligent and frugal, and don’t waste food, which is the most shameful waste. Students, we must learn from General Secretary Hu Jintao and not waste food.

Sima Guang once said: "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality." This is the alarm bell sounded by the ancients to us, so we must be diligent and frugal. Those farmers are struggling under the scorching sun. How hard it is to work! They work hard without complaint, but what they get in return is our waste. All people should maintain the style of "hard work, diligence and thrift".
