As China grows stronger, more and more foreigners begin to learn Chinese traditional culture and learn to speak "Chinese". As a Chinese, many of us Uyghurs do not speak Mandarin, and are not ashamed or disapproving. Isn't this funny? Isn't this worth our thoughts?

Having worked at the grassroots level for many years, I have deeply experienced the convenience of being able to speak Mandarin to my work. In work and life, I always tell myself subconsciously, try my best to communicate with colleagues and relatives in Mandarin. As the current "de-radicalization" work is in full swing, I have strengthened my confidence in speaking Mandarin well. However, besides me, there are many cadres and employees of ethnic minorities who, as public officials, cannot communicate fluently in Chinese. At work, due to obstacles in speaking Mandarin, I can't help speaking in Uyghur. * National public officials are an outstanding class of Uyghurs who are knowledgeable and educated. Their words and deeds are related to the expectations of the masses and the orientation of their work, and they have an immeasurable social influence. To learn to use a language, you must have a good language environment. If national public officials can persist in "speaking the national language" in public and use Chinese to communicate and express, it will create a positive atmosphere for learning the national language, and then make the masses aware of the importance of learning the national language, which is bound to promote Uyghur The upsurge of national language learning.

Conversely, if public officials of the country cannot insist on "speaking the Mandarin" in public, then the masses will unknowingly weaken their enthusiasm for learning Mandarin, which is bound to cause a series of negative effects.

As a township civil servant, every time I watched the five-star red flag rise during the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, a deep patriotism surged in my heart. Whenever I raised my right fist and solemnly took an oath, I felt a strong sense of responsibility. All over the body. Every flag-raising ceremony is a "patriotism" education. Every time I see the bright five-star red flag fluttering in the wind, it strengthens my confidence in learning Mandarin.

Our public officials take the lead in learning and using Mandarin, which is spreading the positive energy of patriotism! Learning and using the country’s common spoken and written language is conducive to cultivating citizens’ patriotism, strengthening the "five identities", and enhancing the centripetal force and cohesion of the Chinese nation. It is the most basic requirement of patriotism for Uyghur cadres and the masses to learn the standard spoken and written language of the country. It is also a concrete manifestation of actively adapting to the new situation, keeping up with the new era, and embracing modernization. The traditional culture of the Chinese nation is the common spiritual wealth of our 56 nations. Only by mastering the national spoken and written language can we enhance our "cultural confidence", better resist the infiltration of religious extreme ideas, and better adapt to the development trend of the new era.
