江西省九江市匡庐星瀚高级中学2023-2024学年高一下学期期末考试英语试卷
The movie Home Coming《万里归途》took the lead in the box office (票房) during the National Day holiday in 2022.
It tells a story that happened in North Africa. After a war breaks out there, two Chinese diplomats (外交官) are ordered to help evacuate the overseas Chinese. After completing the first task successfully, they learn that another group of Chinese citizens (公民) are still in great danger. Realizing that these people will die if they don't give a hand, the two men travel through the war area. They risk their lives to help over 100Chinese citizens go to a safe place. The movie not only shows how the two diplomats protect the people with courage, but also shows their deep love for the country and people.
Home Coming reminds many people of a similar real event which truly happened in Libya in
2011. Chinese Embassy (大使馆) helped the evacuation of more than 30, 000 Chinese citizens. Behind this event were many efforts of Chinese diplomats. After watching the film, a man recalled his personal experience. "We are the lucky ones because we have a strong country and are well protected," he said.
Home Coming is a success partly because of the growing national pride and confidence Chinese people have in our country. A comment (评论) reads, "Chinese passport might not get you anywhere you want, but it can always bring you back home."
