When I took my children to go shopping, Dabao asked: "Mom, come and see, there are five-star red flags on the streets. Why are there any hangings at the door of every store?" I felt that my answer was a little pale. When I got home, I checked some information. It turned out that

hello, Hello everyone, I am your Doushui mother.

Almost overnight, the streets and alleys of the city were covered with red flags, and their cool figures could be seen everywhere. Taking the child to go shopping, Dabao asked, "Mom, come and see, there are five-star red flags on the streets, why are there any hangings at the door of every store?"

"Because during the birthday of the motherland, hanging five-star red flags is a manifestation of patriotism. Everyone is using the same action to commemorate this special day." When I heard the child ask this, I thought for a while.

I felt that my answer was a little pale. When I got home, I checked some information. It turned out that " National Flag Law " has relevant explicit provisions: on important festivals and anniversaries such as National Day, International Labor Day, New Year's Day, Spring Festival and National Constitution Day, enterprises and institutions, Village Committee, residents' committee, and residents' courtyards (buildings, communities) should raise the national flag if conditions permit.

can raise the national flag when holding major celebrations, commemorative activities, large-scale cultural and sports activities, and large-scale exhibitions.

Science and popularize some historical knowledge. I told my children stories about the national flag and National Day . Some of them have experienced them personally, and some have not experienced them, but the emotions flowing in their hearts are the same.

The first story: the first five-star red flag rising in New China

child, this story is a bit far away, and even the mother's mother was not lucky enough to witness it, but it is truly the origin of National Day.

In some videos and materials, this scene has been depicted:

On October 1, 1949, the sky was blue and the autumn was clear and cool. Accompanied by the high and exciting "March of the Volunteers " and 4 salutes 28 times, Chairman Mao stood on the Tiananmen Gate Tower and pressed the button. Tiananmen Square raised the first five-star red flag of New China, declaring to the world that China stands tall in the east of the world!

The first story in "My Motherland and Me" tells the story of the winding and raising flags on the eve of founding ceremony .

Lin Zhiyuan, the design and installer of the electric flagpole played by Huang Bo, and his colleagues, with the heart of craftsmanship, simulated the automatic rising scene many times, finally overcame difficulties and ushered in an exciting moment: the five-star red flag rose slowly with the national anthem, and the striker was pressed steadily on the metal ball. People cheered and Lin Zhiyuan shed tears.

At present, the first five-star red flag raised at the cross-border ceremony, together with the flagpole and automatic lifting device, has been treasured in the National Museum of my country. We have to go and see it when we have time.

The second story: Hong Kong's return to the motherland

I remember that on June 30, 1997, my grandparents and I had dinner early, sat in front of the TV waiting for the live broadcast of "Central Mother" - Hong Kong's return to special report.

Because from midnight on July 1, the Chinese government will begin to resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong. Hong Kong, which has experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes, has finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.

While everyone was waiting, the changes in Hong Kong were constantly playing on the TV, and the excitement of the wanderers' desire to return.

html At exactly 0:00 on July 1, as the majestic national anthem sounded, the national flag of the People's Republic of China and the flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region slowly rose together.

The audience was in full bloom, and many people's eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and the thunderous applause lasted for a long time.

The third story: National Day 70th military parade

child, the third story, you know this if you don’t say it. In 2019, on the National Day of the 70th anniversary of the motherland, my mother watched the military parade with you.

That day, Tiananmen Square was crowded with people, and the grand occasion was amazing. Mom and you are waiting by the TV early in the morning and watch this grand ceremony with 1.4 billion Chinese people.

I remember that during the parade, different teams formed by the PLA uncles thousands of meters on the ground walked through Tiananmen Square in turn. Various equipment and fighter in the sky cut through the sky. Faced with such a formation, you kept exclaiming and exclaiming: "It's so handsome, so cool."

Mom was also excited to see it. When she saw the chairman and the army pay tribute to each other, thousands of people shouted: Serving people. My mother felt very honored to be born in China at that moment.

Just like the comments from many netizens posted on Moments: Entering China without regrets in this life, and the eternal style has been talked about today.

child, what you don’t know is that an empty car behind the military parade made hundreds of millions of Chinese people cry.

marks the parade vehicle of the 1949. Is it an empty car? No, it carries the great heroic spirits of the martyrs, revolutionaries, and founding elders.

Many netizens posted on the circle tribute: This prosperous era is as you wish!

Message to children

Children, tell you these three stories. They are just "little waves" and precious moments that emerge in the long river of our New China history.

There are many such moments, such as: in 2001 we officially joined WTO , in 2003, China achieved China's manned space flight for the first time, in 2006, the full opening of Qinghai-Tibet Railway , and Chinese athletes stood on the stage of receiving world awards...

Every time at this time, the five-star red flag will rise slowly with the familiar national anthem melody.

Speaking of this, I can’t help but thinking about a question: What is the national flag rising? Is it just a piece of red cloth? No! It raises a symbol of honor and identity, which is filled with a strong sense of national pride and cultural identity.

This is why when we look up at the red flag, we always feel emotions in our hearts and our eyes can't help but wet. This reminds me of a poem by Ai Qing: Why do I often have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply.

National Day is not just a day for leisure and fun during long holidays. Children, never forget . Today’s years are peaceful and peaceful, and it is someone who is carrying the burden for us. “ We must always be grateful and pay tribute to our predecessors.

At the same time, as a primary school student, the country gives you high hopes for young people. A strong youth means a strong country. You must set your ambitions and keep in mind your responsibilities and missions. Take practical actions to serve the motherland, give back to the love of the motherland, and maintain the quietness and peace of the motherland.
