: Should not we set a rule here to avoid the political craps like this?? It is making people sick!!
As we know, that films can tell us a lot about the country where they were made. I have learned much about my mother country--China from a Chinese film named "The Long March". This film told a real story about how the Chinese soldiers overcame many difficulties during their long march and finally reached their destination in 1930s. The soldiers are the representatives of Chinese people. I was moved and encouraged by this film.
: First, I learned that Chinese people have the great characteristic of sticking to their goals firmly till they get them no matter how many difficulties they will meet. In the film the soldiers went through grasslands, climbed snow mountains in terrible weather condition. They were not frightened, on the contrary, they went on and on bravely towards their destination and conquered the obstacles one by one. This is a spirit that I should learn from them to do my work in order that I could success in the future.
: Second, I learned that Chinese people are optimistic people. In the film the soldiers met enough difficulties to make them feel frustrated or even make them quit the march. However, they didn't. They even made jokes at the difficulties. For example, in the film, a soldier found their only food was ruined by a heavy rain, he didn't feel sad, instead he said if he had known he wouldn't eat the food he would donate it to the animals in the mountain, because it was also a tough work for the animals to find food for them there. This is another spirit I should learn from them so that I could face to difficulties easier in the future.
: Moreover, I learned that my mother country is a very big country. In the film the soldiers travelled 12500 kilometres through several provinces, what's more, that's only a part of south western China. China is as big as 9600000 square kilometres. I am so proud of being a Chinese!
: I learned much from this film. It indicated that Chinese people are great people, and that's why China is getting stronger and stronger in the world. I love my mother country, I love China!
