Recently I watched a movie called Home Coming (《万里归途》). It's about China saving its people from other countries.
A war breaks out in a country in North Africa. Millions of Chinese people are in danger. They look forward to coming back to China and seeing their families. The Chinese government (政府) begins to help them leave right away.
One thing touched me the most. When Zong Dawei, the main character, finally gets back home, it is Chinese New Year. The sound of fireworks (爆竹) is everywhere. This is a happy moment, but because of his experiences (经历) in North Africa, Zong is often scared of these sounds.
The contrast (对比) between the gunfire in war and the fireworks in peace (和平) taught me the cruelty (残酷) of war, the hard-won peace and the hard work of my motherland to let us live a safe life. It not only lets me feel the power of our motherland but also makes me feel proud of being Chinese.
After seeing the movie, I've made up my mind to work hard, hoping that I can work for the development of China in the future.
