Further Thinking
Watch this video and tell me what the video talk about?
The video is about the introduction of Mozi. Now, let’s read an online post about Mozi and find out more about why he is inspiring.
3a Read an online post. Who does the writer admire? Why?
To me, one of the most inspiring people in Chinese history is Mozi (about 468–376 BCE). It is said that Mozi was a soldier, good at woodwork, and was the inventor of the kite. But in fact, above all, he was a great thinker.
Mozi lived during the Warring States Period. Back then, many kingdoms were fighting against each other.

The writer admires Mozi.
In these wars, the common people were always hurt. To Mozi, this had to stop, so he spent his life trying to bring peace.
His idea of love was one reason that Mozi wanted peace. It was important to him that everyone should show the same kindness and care to everyone else, whether they were family, friends, or strangers. He also believed states should avoid attacking one another.
n. /ˈkaɪndnəs/
conj. /ˈweðə(r)/

Because he tried to bring peace and cared for all.
Though Mozi lived more than 2,000 years ago, his ideas live on. I think he is still great inspiration to many people. Now, more than ever, people around the world need to hear the message of peace and love, and work together to build a community of shared future for mankind.
