Patriotism is the basic morality of a citizen and a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. Traditional Confucian culture emphasizes "sacrifice one's life for righteousness", which means to defend national sovereignty at the expense of personal life for the sake of national interests. To a certain extent, patriotism is the need to ensure people’s right to survival and freedom. Under the socialist system, the connotation of patriotism has undergone qualitative changes from the past. In the feudal era, the rulers emphasized that people were patriotic, but the essence was to safeguard imperial power. The people lived in the country, but the country did not belong to the people. Under the socialist system, the people's democratic dictatorship is implemented, the country belongs to the people, and the people are the masters of the country. In this way, citizens' patriotism actually means loving their own regime and defending their fundamental interests.
Every citizen should be themselves, promote civility, make achievements in all walks of life, respect others, realize themselves, and not be rude or blindly obedient. This is the best way to be patriotic.
Patriotism is an attitude, not a pair of fists; patriotism is a reason, not an iron rod; patriotism is about making one's country better, not about hurting one's own people; patriotism is not about venting anger , but to love the rule of law first and to ensure that our basic civil rights are respected and defended. Violence is not a passport to our patriotism, and it will not bring that beautiful island closer to us.

When the Japanese army failed to persuade them to surrender, they fired random shots and Yang Jingyu, who was only 35 years old, died heroically. The cruel Japanese army cut open his body. When they saw that there were only weeds and cotton wadding in his stomach, the invaders, who were overwhelmed by the anti-Japanese coalition forces led by Yang Jingyu, were all stunned.
