Motivation that inspires me to move forward
Zhang Yishuo (Master’s degree student, School of Computer Science, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications)
After watching “Merchants”, I have a more true understanding of the stories of these heroes who burned all their enthusiasm and lives for the motherland. Yu Min is a person who touched me a lot. After learning that New China needed a hydrogen bomb, he resolutely gave up the opportunity to study abroad and started studying hydrogen bombs as a pawn. This kind of will and courage deeply impressed me. Admire. A hopeful nation cannot live without heroes. These heroic spirits have become a powerful driving force for us to move forward courageously.
Characters are amiable and respectable
Ji Yunguang (Graduate student, School of Art and Media, Beijing Normal University)
At first, I chose to watch “The Meritorious Merit”. I was attracted by the short video of the eight “Republic Medal” winners from the young to the old. The leading actors are all actors I am familiar with, but when they slowly approached, they became another kind and firm “contributory” appearance. After just a few short steps, I was amazed by the analog imaging technology. Then began to “chasing drama.” “Meritorious” is a TV series that our young viewers love to watch. You can repeat the scenes and plots of the characters. It is a masterpiece that makes me feel the power of the motherland, the loveable and lovely merits, and encourages us to remember history and strive forward.
