Have you heard that there was once a statue of Confucius placed at the United Nations Government Headquarters?

On October 25, 1971, the United Nations passed Resolution 2758, which restored the legal status of the Republic of China in the United Nations and recognized Taiwan as a province of China. At that time, a huge painting of Confucius' quotations had been hanging in the United Nations Hall. After the Chinese representative officially entered the United Nations, he followed the instructions of Premier Zhou Enlai and asked the third United Nations Secretary-General U Thant to remove him. Wu Than immediately expressed his disapproval and pointed out that Confucius is not only the cultural ancestor of China, but also the world's leading philosopher and educator. Therefore, his quotations are the cultural heritage of all mankind. Huang Hua, the first United Nations Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, conveyed a sentence from Premier Zhou and brought two other quotations from Confucius. U Thant understood and immediately had the old quotation taken down. After standardized processing, another quotation was soon hung. This process has been spread by a group of people with ulterior motives. As a result, today's people, including many people at home and abroad who do not understand the truth, such as democrat Wu Mi, were once angry, believing that the Chinese government itself had destroyed thousands of years of It comes from cultural traditions, so there are constant scoldings. The fact is: the quotation of Confucius hanging at that time was: "We are all brothers within the four seas." And Premier Zhou's meaningful words were: "We are all brothers within the four seas, so how about sisters who are half of the world's population?" The quotations from Confucius that were later hung up following Premier Zhou's instructions were: "Zigong asked: Is there anything I can say that can be carried out throughout my life? Confucius said: Forgive me. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." - Confucius Disciple Duanmu asked his teacher: "Is there a sentence or a word that can be used as a guideline for life?" Confucius replied: "That is 'forgiveness'. 'Forgiveness' means one's disdain, unwillingness, and disdain." Don’t impose things or wishes that should or cannot be done on others!” Another quote from Confucius is: “Harmony is the most precious thing.”
