For a long time, children in Chinese schools have published a lot of short essays. I read almost every one of them carefully. The children’s essays describe their (her) knowledge, their ideals, and their (her) hobbies. , their (her) joy is full of childishness, childishness and innocence, and each exercise is marked with the last name of the tutor. As an old woman who is over seventy years old, I feel that the leaders and teachers of the Chinese school have done a great thing, and the parents of the children have also done a great thing. Our motherland has a long history of five thousand years, and our national culture is extensive and profound. No matter what country we live in or where we live in the world, we have the responsibility and obligation to pass on the great Chinese culture. The teachers of Huanghuang Chinese School, as well as those lovely parents, are doing such a meaningful work. They are training their children to learn English while also learning Chinese culture. Their hard work is worthy of praise. The Chinese nation is a nation with a splendid culture. The Twenty-Four Histories record many heroic deeds, as well as many tragic changes in the palace curtains, disasters caused by Xiaoqiang, and battles for the heir. Starting from the "Book of Songs" of the Zhou Dynasty, poems, lyrics, songs, and poems are like a vast ocean, vast and boundless. Tang poetry and Song poetry are even more vast, allowing us descendants to enjoy them endlessly in our lifetimes. Su Dongpo, the great poet of the Song Dynasty, is highly praised The "water melody song" of the human population...people have joys and sorrows, as well as the ups and downs. This matter is difficult to complete in ancient times and has become a masterpiece through the ages. In nature, it is often "uncompleted in ancient times". Human society and everyone's life will also be "uncompleted in ancient times". Dongpo layman wrote the true meaning of life and all things. Li Bai and Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty are even more well-known to every household. Li Du's poems are the expression of ambition, the emotions and expressions of the poet's conscious mind. Li Bai has left more than a thousand poems and Du Fu's poems, as well as many literati, poets and talents from ancient times to the present. The countless exquisite poems and good articles left by them are diverse in form, rich in content, exquisite, subtle, tactful, smooth, profound and long. After reading, they are endlessly memorable and arouse our understanding of the national culture, moral character and learning of our motherland. Questions, associations and inspirations from literature and art. Besides, China’s four famous masterpieces are a folklore picture of Chinese society. One “Dream of Red Mansions” alone condenses the rise and fall of China’s feudal society... All of these are treasures in the cultural treasure house of the motherland. We appreciate them from a cultural perspective and taste these precious cultural heritages left by our predecessors. As descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, we should be proud of them. As descendants of a nation rich in cultural flavor, we will be proud of them. From a historical perspective, from Emperor Qin to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Song of the Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China to the present day, our motherland has had many national heroes worth praising and experienced many bloody storms in its long history. These should give our next generation of children at least a rough understanding, because we are the descendants of Yan and Huang. I have no intention of advocating retrospection. Modern technology is changing rapidly, and children must learn and master science and technology. However, I believe that whether they study medicine, electronic engineering, economics, management, international trade, geological surveying, aerospace technology, etc., they should not forget the splendid culture of their ancestors, which is a bright pearl. Children should pass it on. I greatly appreciate those parents who allow their children to speak Chinese when they return home. While being educated in the United States, their children can receive some traditional education of the Chinese nation and understand and feel the fine traditions of China. This is a meaningful thing worthy of everyone's efforts. Thank you to the organization of the Chinese school. Organizers and teachers, they are doing things that are beneficial to our future generations. I hope that through his or her efforts, it will be a great blessing for the Chinese people if they can cultivate many writers and scientists such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Li Shizhen, Lu Xun, Yang Zhenning, Qian Xuesen, etc. among many children. What I said above is purely my personal opinion. Please correct me if it is inappropriate.
