爱国，不只是豪情壮举

平时听过、读过、看过的爱国英雄故事很多，在以前，我总是把注意力集中在他们的豪情壮举，比如岳母刺字、林则徐焚烟、董存瑞手举炸药包、黄继光舍身堵枪眼、杨利伟走出“神州”号航天舱的一瞬间，但是现在我不这么认为了。

There are many patriotic hero stories that I have heard, read and read. In the past, I always focused on their heroic deeds, such as mother-in-law stabbing, Lin Zexu burning cigarettes, Dong Cunrui holding his explosive bag, Huang Jiguang sacrificing himself to block the eye of the gun, and Yang Liwei walking out of the Shenzhou capsule. But now I don't think so.

爱国需要英雄，但爱国不只是豪情壮举，特别是在当今的和平建设年代，爱国有着多种多样的方式，甚至简单、普通到人人可为。比如，如果我们坚持节水和节电，坚持不用一次性筷子，这样就能减少国家资源的浪费，省得国家每年要掏很多钱去进口石油和粮食等等，省下来的钱就可以为人民做更多的好事；比如，如果我们合理处理自己的废品垃圾，不随地乱扔废弃物，就能减轻国家的环境污染，提高全民族的身体健康水平，造福子孙后代；比如，我们都认真遵守交通规则，就能缓解交通堵塞，避免交通事故，做到既不伤害别人也不被别人所伤害，每个人和他们的家庭就能更和谐幸福；比如，我们现在认真努力地学习知识，煅练身体，长大了就能更好地报效祖国，岳飞要是小时候不认真学习本领，哪会有他以后的英雄壮举呢？董存瑞如果参军后不认真学习爆破知识，不知道非得把炸药包顶起来贴在敌人碉堡上才起作用，他就是再勇敢也不起作用啊！杨利伟如果不坚持煅练身体不努力学习操控本领，就不能入选航天员，就没资格进航天舱，当然也就谈不上走出航天舱了！还有，在购物时，尽可能选购国产商品，就能支持中国的企业快速发展技术进步，把中国的产品卖到世界发达国家去，赚他们的钱缔造我们的幸福。

Patriotism needs heroes, but patriotism is not just a heroic act. Especially in today's era of peace building, patriotism has a variety of ways, even simple and common to everyone. For example, if we insist on saving water and electricity, and we insist on not using disposable chopsticks, we can reduce the waste of national resources, save that the country has to pay a lot of money to import oil and food every year, and so on, the money saved can do more good for the people; for example, if we deal with our own waste properly and do not litter everywhere, we can reduce the national environment Pollution can improve the health of the whole nation and benefit future generations. For example, if we all abide by the traffic rules carefully, we can ease the traffic jams, avoid traffic accidents, do not hurt others or be hurt by others, and everyone and their families can be more harmonious and happy. For example, we can learn knowledge and exercise our bodies carefully and grow up to be better To serve the motherland well, if Yuefei didn't study his skills seriously when he was a child, how could he have heroic feats in the future? If Dong Cunrui doesn't study the knowledge of blasting seriously after joining the army, he doesn't know that he has to put the explosive bag on top and stick it on the enemy's blockhouse to work. He just can't work no matter how brave he is! If Yang Liwei doesn't insist on forging and practicing his body and doesn't work hard to learn the manipulation skills, he can't be selected as an astronaut, so he is not qualified to enter the space capsule, and of course, he can't go out of the space capsule! In addition, when shopping, we can buy domestic products as much as possible, so as to support the rapid development and technological progress of Chinese enterprises, sell Chinese products to the developed countries in the world, and earn their money to create our happiness.

总之，爱国是实实在在的东西，不是摸不着看不见，不是非要到战场上去，爱国需要的是点点滴滴，而不只是豪情壮举。

In a word, patriotism is a real thing. It is not invisible. It is not necessary to go to the battlefield. What patriotism needs is little by little, not just heroic deeds.
