Some of the old sayings have been repeated over and over again, but I'm going to say them anyway.

Do I have confidence in my own nation? There was a time when I didn't have much confidence in my nation.

Anyone who has read my first book will be able to feel that I was once an angry young man, with a deep sense of loss for the country and an indisputable resentment for the government. That was the mentality before '202, and I don't shy away from that because that's who I am.

I don't have much ability, I don't have a high degree of education, I don't have strong ability, and I spent my golden age of 20 to 30 years old. At that time, I dreamed of getting rich, but I could only watch others get rich. At that time, the society was full of all kinds of negative news, and I only saw the sinister nature of society and my own insignificance, and it was difficult to balance the psychological gap.

Even now, I'm not a saint, and writing books is even more obscene. In life, he is an ordinary person. But in the past few years, society has changed, and my own mentality has also changed.

No one is consciously in a social tide, and our current social tide is the steady rise of the Chinese nation.

It is said that China is an infrastructure maniac, and while I enjoy the convenience of various infrastructures, I admire those who work hard for the construction of the motherland. Because I only ask myself if I can't endure any hardship, I have to respect those who suffer.

I know that when I am dissatisfied with this, unhappy with that, and scolding like a fool, there are many people who are paying in obscurity.

We are now proud and feel that the country is strong, but this strength is not what we boast about today, but it has been built up step by step by hard work over the past few decades.

Verbal national self-confidence is useless, and verbal patriotism is also very naïve. If the mouth cannon could strengthen the country, Jiang Guangtou would not have been driven to Taiwan.

True national self-confidence is based on how much a person is willing to pay for the country - just like doing business, a person who is truly confident is willing to spend real money to invest, because he believes that his efforts will be rewarded. It is useless for those who pay lip service to say more.

Having said all this, I want to end with the words of a foreigner (I don't know if I will be scolded again for not having national self-confidence) - don't ask what the country has done for you, but what have you done for the country?

All the money I earned by my hard work was deposited in the bank, not converted into dollars. Every time I buy a stock fund, I am cut like a leek, and every time I don't learn a lesson, I support the country's economic development without regrets. I'm still writing to create happiness for my compatriots in my spare time, and I'm not racking my brains to emigrate and flee the country - although I haven't done much to contribute to the country, I think I have national self-confidence. After all, my abilities are limited and I can't ask too much.
