Today is the annual National Day. Today is the birthday of our great motherland, October 1st. In the early morning, my father and I were walking in the street, and this atmosphere was everywhere. The national flag is hung in front of every house. I asked my father inexplicably, "Why do people hang the national flag?" Dad smiled and said to me, "This is a blessing for the motherland. The national flag is a symbol of the country. When there is a major event in the country, all state units must fly the national flag. " Later, my father said to me, "The national flag of each country has different meanings. Just like our national flag in China, the background color is red, which symbolizes that revolutionary martyrs are dyed red with blood. In order to raise the national flag, many revolutionary martyrs gave their young lives, such as Huang Jiguang, who blocked the enemy's muzzle with his chest for the victory of the war; Dong Cunrui used his body as a support for gunpowder and blew up the enemy's bunker-they exchanged their lives for the liberation of New China. In memory of them, the background color of the national flag is red. The top left of the national flag is dotted with five yellow five-pointed stars, symbolizing the great revolutionary unity under the leadership of the * * * production party. The five stars use yellow to symbolize the bright stars on the red land. I nodded deeply and said, "It turns out that the red star and red flag have such great significance!" Suddenly, that familiar song rang in my ear. The red flag flutters, flutters. Empty volunteers fly higher and higher like white clouds. You are my pride, five-star red flag. I'm proud of you. Cheer for you, I bless you, your name is more important than my life! Yes! Countless revolutionary martyrs shed their blood for our happy life today. Today, shouldn't I study hard and work hard for the prosperity of my motherland?
