They wouldn't have been able to wait for the old man who came after them, and they certainly wouldn't have the life they have now.

Therefore, she is grateful for the country's policies, which allowed her to persevere and meet the old man.

Thanks to the country's policies, she was able to encounter the current system.

So without a country, there would be no Su Ran as we know her today.

She wasn't talking nonsense; she herself had experienced how well the country had treated her.

The popularization of nine-year compulsory education and the establishment of scholarships and grants are all rewards from the state for students.

Su Ran understood what it meant to achieve mutual success.

Therefore, she would always step forward without hesitation whenever there was a way to help the country.

She doesn't care what others say about her; she's happy to throw money at the country.

The old woman's eyes were full of admiration. She knew about the girl's past and felt sorry for her experiences. She also knew why the girl was expressing her gratitude, but at such a young age, she had accomplished so much, far surpassing other young people.

"Little girl, the country will always protect you. Choices are two-way, and achievements are mutual. China will always be your home."

"There may be minor conflicts at home sometimes, but you must believe that China is biased towards fairness."

“There is a lot of criticism online, and some people abroad are also watching you. Little girl, what you need to do is protect yourself. The country will not allow any Chinese citizen to be bullied.”

"As long as China exists, home is home!"

As Su Ran listened to the old man's words, how could she not understand the meaning behind them?

His words and actions clearly revealed his desire to protect himself.
