Since then, the flag -raising ceremony has become an indiscriminate part of her life. Whenever the national anthem is playing and the flag rises, Qiu Ruihong feels sincere pride and pride.

On July 1, 2022, the Hong Kong Education Worker Federation and the Hong Kong Flag Raise Team will jointly hold a large -scale flag -raising ceremony to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong. As the instructor of the flag -raising team of Huang Chubiao School, Qiu Ruihong will guide the school's flag -raising team members to raise a five -star red flag on the campus.

Become a flag -raised bearer: the dream is true

When the Chinese Women's Daily reporters were connected to Qiu Ruihong's call, she was working busyly. "Our flag -raising team is rehearsing for the 25th anniversary of the return of the motherland on July 1. I am also very excited as a instructor. "

Qiu Ruihong has done it for 20 years. In 2002, in order to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong, Huang Chujiao, the Hong Kong Federation of Education Federation, established the first primary school flag -raising team in Hong Kong. Qiu Ruihong in the fifth grade was selected as a member of the flag -raising team by the teacher. Four words: "The dream is true."

When Qiu Ruihong first went to elementary school, she was full of longing for the sacred ritual of the national flag. "When I was a kid, I saw the flag -raising ceremony of mainland schools. Four students each held a corner of the national flag and moved forward neatly. Looking at the national flag, the respect and love of the motherland and the flag made me very touching. "Since then, the dream of making the flag bearer has laid seeds in Qiu Ruihong's heart. "Later, I also saw the flag -raising ceremony of the PLA's army in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong police in the Golden Bauhinia Plaza, which made me very envious. I hope that I can also have the opportunity to take on such a heavy responsibility and raise the national flag." Qiu Ruihong said.

After being selected as the flag -raising bearer by the teacher, Qiu Ruihong and his classmates had worked hard for several months. Until the flag -raising ceremony on July 1, 2002, Qiu Ruihong still remembered his feeling that he first raised his national flag to the air that day. When the national flag, you can feel the weight. The national flag slowly rises in the national anthem. I feel that my love for the country is more real and strong. "

Back to his alma mater: Students are more enthusiastic about the flag -raising ceremony

After graduating from elementary school, Qiu Ruihong was promoted to Huang Chubiao Middle School. She has been in contact with the teacher of the elementary school flag -raising team, and often returns to elementary school to help training.

On the other hand, she also suggested to the establishment of the flag -raising team to the middle school. The teachers are glad to see that some students have made such meaningful ideas and agree with her proposal. The flag -raising team has learned from various techniques and other techniques to lead students to train together.

During the ritual of raising the flag again and again, Qiu Ruihong's feelings for the flag -raising team became more and more profound. Even in the year of the college entrance examination, she did not withdraw from the flag -raising team, but has been training with her classmates.

During college, Qiu Ruihong often took the time to return to his alma mater instructor and sister. After graduating, she returned to her alma mater and became the instructor of the school's flag -raising team.

From the first batch of flag -raising bearers to the flag -raising team, Qiu Ruihong's most obvious feeling is that students are more enthusiastic about raising the national flag. "Now more and more students who register for the flag -raising team. In the past, we only selected in grades fourth, fifth, and sixth. It will also be selected to the third grade. "

Behind the enthusiasm of the students, Qiu Ruihong feels that one of the important reason is that the school attaches great importance to the flag -raising ceremony every Monday. The ceremony, this actually cultivated the sense of honor of the students in the subtle way. "

In 2016, Qiu Ruihong participated in the flag -raising ceremony in the Golden Bauhinia Plaza as a member of the Hong Kong Flag Squad.

As a representative of the younger generation, he expresses his love for the country." The moment of the national flag rose, Qiu Ruihong was excited to be excited. The ground shed tears.

Qiu Ruihong infects the students with her own actions. She often communicates and talks with the children of the flag -raising team. "I will often ask my students," What do you feel after participating in the ceremony? Education is better to let students experience it by themselves. They feel when they look at the national flag and sing the national anthem, which is what he really gains in ideology. "

The flag raising ceremony is a patriotic class

During Qiu Ruihong's words and training and training, the children better understood the meaning of the flag -raising ceremony, and the emotions of the country continued to deepen. Liang Zi Teng, the captain of the flag -raising team, felt, "It is a particularly glorious thing to join the flag -raising team. From Mr. Qiu, I learned the spirit of patriotism, unity, and tolerance." The motherland, the national flag is our pride, I can raise the national flag by myself, I am very happy. "

In addition to being the instructor of the flag -raising team, Qiu Ruihong also serves as a teacher in the school and Mandarin lessons in the school. In daily teaching, she also actively popularizes the traditional culture of the motherland to her classmates. "Students like to learn ancient poems. I When teaching, the history behind the author will be introduced one by one, and the school will often organize students to organize poetry recitation activities to allow students to understand the past of our country in poetry. "In Qiu Ruihong, the teacher's view, the teacher The role of the role is very important for strengthening the promotion and inheritance of national education. "Because for students, every word and deeds of the teacher may affect them." Qiu Ruihong told reporters that Huang Chubiao School also has a very important subject called "moral education and nationals and nationals Education, this lesson is mainly to teach students how to be a good citizen, allow students to understand the history and current situation of the country more comprehensively, as well as future development. "Teachers should first study and understand our country and national conditions, and then give students correct and positive education." Qiu Ruihong said.

In 2019, Qiu Ruihong, as a teacher with the team, led several students to participate in the "2019 Together of the Heart and Tongshi Wanli" jointly sponsored by 14 Hong Kong Youth Uniform Group, including the Hong Kong flag -raising team and the Hong Kong Red Cross Youth Team. Starting every year in 2002, it aims to let Hong Kong youths understand the achievements of Chinese culture and the Mainland, while deepening their understanding of national history, economy, culture, and people's livelihood. At that time, she took the classmates of the flag -raising team to Tiananmen to see the flag -raising ceremony. She also climbed the Great Wall and visited the Great Hall of the People. "On the day of watching the flag -raising, we got up at 3 am. The feeling of watching the flag -raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square is really different. The feeling of dignity and sacredness makes me unforgettable."

Starting on January 1, 2022, Hong Kong's primary and secondary schools and kindergartens must be held every week to hold a national flag, and each class will be raised to the flag.

For Qiu Ruihong, the flag -raising ceremony is a patriotic class, and it is also a inheritance. From the first generation of primary school students to the flag -raising bearer, it can affect more students in the flag -raising ceremony. She feels that the responsibility on her shoulder is major Essence "I hope that students can understand the meaning in the ceremony of the flag -raising ceremony," Qiu Ruihong said with a smile.
