刘西明撰文指出:民族自尊心是指一个民族保持自己民族的优秀品质,维护自己民族的尊严,珍爱自己民族荣誉的心理感情。也是个人对国家、对民族所负的道德责任感。它既是一种信念,又是一种社会舆论;既是高尚的道德意识,又是重要的政治原则。它要求人们,无论在什么情况下,都坚信自己民族的力量,维护自己民族的利益,保持民族气节,不卑躬屈膝,不妄自菲薄,为了国家的尊严,民族的荣誉,英勇奋斗,百折不挠。一个人要有人格,一个国家要有国格。我们中国人,历来就有强烈的民族自尊心。历史上岳飞抗金,林则徐“禁烟”以及汉代使节苏武拒降不屈,无不表现了他们热爱祖国山河的崇高民族气节。无产 Liu Xi-ming’s article states: “National pride” refers to the psychological feeling that a nation preserves the excellent quality of its people, preserves the dignity of its people, and cherishes its own national honor. It is also an individual’s moral responsibility to the country and to the nation. It is both a belief and a public opinion; it is both a noble moral consciousness and an important political principle. It requires people, no matter under what circumstances, firmly believe in the power of their own nation, safeguard the interests of their nation and maintain their national integrity, do not bow to their knees, never make their own contribution to their country’s dignity and national honor, and work tirelessly. A person must have personality, a country must have a personality. We Chinese have always had strong national pride. Historically, Yue Fei’s resistance to gold, Lin Zexu’s “No Smoking” and his ambassador to the Soviet ambassador to the Soviet Union, Wu Suduo, all showed their loyalty to the noble national ethos of the motherland.
