When I read this chapter, I couldn’t help but sigh with emotion - "equality" is such an ordinary word, but also such a noble and rare word!

In the eyes of the Manchu emperor and his Manchu civil and military officials, foreigners were not human beings, which aroused dissatisfaction among foreigners led by Britain.

In the eyes of China's corrupt bureaucrats, ordinary people and the poor people at the bottom of society are not human beings! In their eyes, only those who are officials are human beings - whether they are honest officials who are the targets of the struggle, or corrupt officials who are complicit in the crime. They don't treat the poor people as human beings at all. They shout around and do their best to humiliate and oppress them. Any kind of personal dignity is only given to people with status. In their eyes, the common people and the poor are just the servants who work for them and the slaves who serve them. In their eyes, the common people have no personality, just like the foreigners in the eyes of the Qing emperor. They can only kneel at their feet and kowtow. share!

Little did we know that the foreigners in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty were no longer the foreigners they used to be. They opened the door to China with their strong ships and cannons. They demanded that the Manchu Qing Dynasty treat each other as equals. Envoys were stationed in the country and demanded the opening of treaty ports...

It was once recognized that foreigners were also human beings, thus pioneering the equal diplomacy in China's history!

Since the founding of New China, the Constitution has stipulated that everyone is equal before the law, and the law protects the legitimate rights and interests and personal dignity of every citizen from infringement! However, in the years when corrupt officials were in power and corrupt officials were rampant, equality for everyone was basically an empty talk. It was "difficult for ordinary people to get in, find words to say, and get things done." Corrupt officials were accustomed to riding on the heads of the people and tyrannizing them. For ordinary people, the word "equality" is almost like a fantasy and is out of reach.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has been "shooting tigers and swatting flies", and corrupt elements who played power and oppressed the people have been dismissed one after another. Times are developing and society is progressing. Under the background of the "Chinese Dream" in China, ordinary people have kept pace with the times with the motherland, straightened their backs, and learned to use legal weapons to protect their legitimate rights and interests. He is no longer an ignorant, timid and fearful little sheep who is willing to be slaughtered.

The common people and their miserable people have really become adults!
