The spirit of Chinese is a book written during late Qing Dynasty whose aim is to stick up for Chinese image. It played an important role to spread Chinese traditional culture and change foreigners‘tune to China.

Comparing China with European countries, Gu Hong min showed Chinese characteristic that gentle, faithful and deep. What’s more, it told public that how Confucianism influenced and held the whole China, just like pastors and policemen in western country, which is described particularly.

I think The Wandering Earth is a good example to explain something. The Wander Earth is a movie that was on during the Chinese New Year, which aroused a big discussion. It told the story that sun will not be expanding until it blast and human has to take earth to another place.

It is different from foreign film that a gifted man can save the whole world. It more focus effort that the human made. So it only happens from Chinese perspective. Because of Chinese people, the world must be warmer and warmer.

At the end of the movie, a child song ancient poetry that a person stood on the stone and wanted to see the ocean’s ending, where was coverd grass and flowers. And the poem felt content. I was so moved that brusted out crying. I suddenly knew the spirit of Chinese people, always gentle, always
