今年是新中国成立70周年，这漫长的岁月里，我们共同见证了祖国由贫穷走向繁荣昌盛。
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Throughout these long years, we have witnessed the country's transition from poverty to prosperity.
听爷爷说，他们小的时候，大家都很穷，住着破烂的茅草屋，有的人家住平房，上面的瓦一片好一片坏，一到下雨天，屋子里全都是水。那时要买布需布票，经济条件好的人家过年时扯一块新布，花钱请裁缝给孩子做新衣，一件衣服新三年，旧三年，缝缝补补之后还得给弟弟妹妹穿；普通人家除了床、桌子、凳子就什么也没有了，黑白电视机就算是宝贝中的宝贝了。

看着祖国越来越强大，我情不自禁地想说：祖国，我为你骄傲！
