Who represents the motherland?

Fifty-six ethnic groups in China represent the motherland, and the Chinese national spirit represents the motherland.

In the negotiations between countries, the government of China represents our motherland.

When a foreigner or other country acquires the sovereignty of the host country, if the foreigner is effectively integrated into the nation of the host country, it is generally called national integration, and the country it rules is still regarded as a part of the motherland.

If foreign nationalities cannot integrate into the host country and are not recognized by the aborigines, their rule will be regarded as colonization, only as a specific historical period of the country, not as a part of the motherland.

The first generation of immigrants often have deep feelings for the motherland and live in a strange country because of war or poverty, but most of them are difficult to adapt to the local living environment and have no sense of belonging to the immigrant country. Old overseas Chinese generally believe that the Republic of China founded by the founding father is the motherland, and generally takes Chinese mainland's ancestral home or place of departure as his hometown.

The descendants of immigrants have a worse understanding of the motherland than the previous generation. A new generation of Chinese in developed countries can't speak Chinese, they are quite strange to their hometown and have no concept of "motherland".

Immigrants born and raised here don't think it is necessary to identify with the motherland, that is, they don't agree with the so-called "motherland". Some people in China even think that their motherland is not China at all. Because the descent identity of the next generation of hybrids born by China natives in immigrant countries is rather vague, and most of them only take their place of birth as their motherland.

Patriotism includes an attitude of being proud of the achievements and culture of the motherland; Strongly hope to preserve the characteristics and cultural foundation of the motherland; A sense of identity with other compatriots in the motherland. Strictly speaking, nationalism is an ideology, and it often preaches that patriotism is a necessary and appropriate attitude.

Patriotism implies a layer of moral norms, that is, it implies that "the motherland" is a moral standard or values. Patriotism also means that individuals should put national interests above those of individuals and groups.
