阅读下面的短文，根据短文后的要求答题。
What does it mean to be a Chinese? According to a survey, more than 40% of Chinese people believe the Chinese love the country and their family. At the same time, about 1/3 of foreigners describe the Chinese as hard-working and creative people.
From 1931 to 1945, millions of soldiers lost their lives in the war against Japanese aggression. (A) And after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, plenty of people, including scientists and workers, worked day and night for the development of China.
While the love for the country joins the people together, family plays a big role in traditional Chinese culture. “My Chinese friends get married and have babies when they get to a certain age. And Chinese friends think about their family first when they choose a job or give up one.” said Aaron Cedillo, an English teacher in a school in Beijing.
(B) , the characters of being hard-working and creative are also well-known. Sherry Wang, Malaysian student, used the package delivery（快递）on weekends as an example of how hard- working Chinese people are. “It seems those men never need to rest.” she said. A foreign university professor has found some Chinese students in the lab could always come up with new ideas. “I'm really surprised.” he said.
The past seventy years witnessed（见证）China’s rapid development. During the process, the international community, including Chinese people themselves, have got a clearer understanding of Chinese characters.
