The World is Flat 世界是平的
Historical statistics show that humankind have been making joint efforts to bring forth a harmonious and inclusive world, a global village conceived in Liberty and dedicated to breaking various boundaries.
In 1863, President Lincoln mounted a platform and addressed the civilian people who were engaged in a civil war and endured great suffering. He said it’s altogether fitting that the living should dedicate a portion of the battlefield to the dead who consecrated and hallowed this ground; that it’s highly resolved that the living can’t detract the power to nobly carried on the unfinished cause so the dead shall not have perished in vain; and that it’s up to the living to remove the division between the Union side and slave-owning Confederate side.
At the 19th CPC (the Communist Party of China) National Congress, Chairman Xi called on comrades to collaborate to create a community with a shared future for mankind, which is realistic, rewarding and influential. To implement this proposition and assist African countries to combat Ebola outbreaks, China sent specialists in infectious disease to relieve (step into one’s shoes) MSF’s volunteers. They drove the clinic’s vans carrying the sick, disinfected the wards covered by blood and vomit, tackling this tragic epidemic against all odds.
In a larger sense, problems like culture shock, discrimination against minorities are still casting a shadow on mankind’s mutual benefits and causing losses that nothing can compensate for, so it’s absolutely vital for us not to take any chance and to give the last full measure of our devotion to break these boundaries.

历史统计数据表明,人类一直共同努力创建一个和谐包容的世界,一个孕育于自由之中并致力于打破各种边界的地球村。
1863年,林肯总统登上一处平台,向参与内战并经受巨大苦难的平民致辞。他说,生者该把这片战场的一部分献给那些圣化神化了这片土地的逝者,这是完全合适的;他说,人们都下了最大的决心,为崇高地坚持未竟事业不让逝者白白死去,生者不能减低努力;他还说,消除北方联盟和蓄奴的南部邦联之间的分裂,这件事落到了生者身上。
在19届中国共产党全国代表大会上,习主席呼吁同志们合作创建人类命运共同体,这一呼吁是切实可行,富有意义,影响深远的。为贯彻这一提议,帮助非洲国家抗击埃博拉的爆发,中国派遣传染病专家去接替无国界医生组织的志愿者。他们驾驶诊所的小货车运送病人,给满是血液和呕吐物的病房消毒,克服重重困难应对这次悲惨的疫情。
从更广泛的意义上来说,像文化冲击和歧视少数族裔这样的问题依然为人类的共同利益蒙上阴影,造成无法弥补的损失。因此我们决不能心存侥幸,并竭尽最后一丝力量来打破这些界限,这是绝对重要的。
