Translation: Patriotism is loyalty and love for the motherland. Throughout the dynasties, many people with lofty ideals have had strong thoughts of caring about the country and the people. They have taken national affairs as their own responsibility, served one after another, remained unyielding in the face of difficulties, defended the motherland, and cared about people's livelihood. This valuable spirit has enabled the Chinese nation to endure through disasters. The content of patriotism is very broad. Loving the mountains and rivers of the motherland, loving the history of the nation, caring about the fate of the motherland, fighting bravely in times of crisis, and sacrificing one's life for the motherland are all manifestations of patriotism. In the five thousand years of development of the Chinese nation, the Chinese nation has formed a great national spirit with patriotism as its core.

We, who are responsible for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, must love the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and actively safeguard the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the motherland. No inch of the motherland’s territory must be lost or occupied by division; we must love the history and culture of the motherland and improve our national self-esteem. and self-confidence, and strive to create a more brilliant national culture.

To advance the great cause of my country's reform and opening up and accelerate the process of socialist modernization, we need to continue to carry forward the fine tradition of patriotism. Only in this way can the Chinese nation regain its glory and make greater contributions to human civilization and progress.
If young people are prosperous, the country will be prosperous; if young people are strong, the country will be strong.
