Some old words have been said over and over again, but I still have to say them.
Do I have confidence in my own nation? There was a time when I didn't have much confidence in my own nation.
Those who have read my first book should be able to tell that I used to be a nationalistic youth. I had a deep sense of loss towards my country, and I resented the government for not fighting hard enough. That was my mentality before 2012. I didn't avoid this, because that was the real me.
I didn't have much ability, my education wasn't high, and my ability wasn't strong. I muddled through the golden age of my twenties and thirties. At that time, I dreamed of getting rich, but I could only watch others get rich. At that time, society was filled with all kinds of negative news. I only saw the dangers of society and my own insignificance. It was difficult to balance that kind of psychological gap.
Even now, I'm not a saint. Writing books is just a fantasy to make a living. In life, I'm just an ordinary person. But in just a few years, society has changed, and my own mentality has also changed.
Everyone is unconsciously in a social tide. Our current social tide is the steady rise of the Chinese nation.
It's said that China is a construction maniac. While I enjoy the convenience of all kinds of infrastructure, I admire those who work hard for the construction of our country. Because I know that I definitely can't bear any hardship, so I have to respect those who suffer.
I also know that when I'm dissatisfied with this, unhappy with that, and cursing like an idiot, there are a lot of people who are silently contributing.
We are proud now, and feel that our country is strong. But this strength isn't built by today's bragging, but by the hard work of the past few decades.
Verbal national confidence is useless, and verbal patriotism is also very childish. If words could strengthen a country, Jiang bald head wouldn't have been chased to Taiwan.
True national confidence depends on how much a person is willing to sacrifice for the country — — just like doing business, people with true confidence are willing to spend real money to invest, because they believe that their investment will be rewarded. It's useless to say more to people who are not sincere.
After saying so much, I want to end with a foreigner's words (I don't know if I will be scolded for not having national confidence) — — Don't ask what the country has done for you, ask what you have done for the country.
