“I have attended the flag-raising ceremony every year on National Day since the second year of senior high school, and this year is no exception”, said by Pan Yanni, a student from the College of Engineering, who arrived at the East Stadium early. She said, “I was in tears once again just now as I am proud to be born in this great nation. We are lucky to be a Chinese and as a youth we should take responsibility of the times. We should always remember to seize the day and live it to the full, and work hard to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.”
“It is the brilliant Chinese red that lights up the fire of faith in my mind, illuminates the darkest moments of my life and leads me on the way home. The moon is the hometown, and peace of mind is the way home. ” All the students from Horticulture Class 2004 read aloud the speech by Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou after flag-raising ceremony. “This is the second year that our class participate in the National Day Flag-raising Ceremony,” said Liu Zixuan, the organizer of the event, “Ms. Meng’s return to China a few days ago has generated a lively discussion and a strong sense of national confidence and pride among the students, so I thought of a meaningful way to make every student know better that our happy life today gives the credit to the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the strength of our country.” She felt an all-consuming sense of patriotism in the flag-raising ceremony on National Day.
Lin Ziqiao, a second-grade elementary student at the affiliated school, also attended the ceremony with his mom. Lin, a Young Pioneer, said, “I feel very proud to watch the raising of national flag. I will study hard and strive to be a successor of socialism in future.”
“Happy Birthday, Motherland!” On the East Stadium, teachers and students from the affiliated school expressed their wishes to the motherland unanimously. Ms. Lu Huan introduced, “Today we take the children here to cultivate their patriotism from a young age.”
