Patriotism This is the 50th day. Why could China survive and thrive after suffering pains and losses brought by a series of wars?One factor at play is patriotism. When being a freshman, I was deeply influenced by a teacher, who is dedicated to education. Even though possessing enough money and abilities to go abroad, he still opted to stay in China and embarked on the path of education.Though he could have engaged in other more lucrative industries, he still chose to be a teacher just in order to enhance the qualities of Chinese college students, which are the masters of China's future . From him, I could feel a strong sense of patriotiosm, which also reminds me of the late Premier-Zhou Enlai and other patriotists. All of them put their country first. I need to learn from them and go all out to contribute to my country. I am grateful to everyone, especially to my family, friends and teachers.
