This is a speech with many words "dream, change", including personal destiny and national destiny, about China and about the United States. At the end of the speech, Bai used the metaphor of telescope to describe the lack of mutual understanding and communication between China and the United States in the past many years. He said that the two countries used to look at each other through binoculars, but China saw the enlarged United States, and the United States turned the telescope upside down, and they saw a shrinking China that kept making mistakes. "I have always had a dream. Why do you want to look at each other with a telescope? " "I hope many Americans have the opportunity to see China." Yale University, known as the "cradle of the president", is obviously a real place where crouching tiger hides dragon, and it can even be said without exaggeration that it has influenced the historical process of the United States. In the past 20 years alone, three consecutive American presidents, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, have all graduated from Yale (and the story that Hillary Clinton, the new American Secretary of State, met and fell in love with Clinton in the Yale campus library is well known by many people), which has also set a record in American history. It was not until Obama, a Harvard graduate holding high the banner of change, became the new president of the United States that Harvard students rejoiced. Because in the United States, there has always been a saying that "Harvard precedes the United States", while Yale University, founded in 170 1, has "retired" to the second oldest institution of higher learning in the United States.

In Yale, where the style of study is open, scholars, politicians and elites from all over the world give speeches almost every day. However, it is obvious that Yale University has made "careful" arrangements for this lecture, and set the lecture venue in Luce Auditorium named after Yale graduate Henry Luce. Henry Luce is the founder of Time magazine and one of the most famous American journalists in the 20th century. The Luce Auditorium also welcomed a reporter from China for the first time. The popularity of the speech exceeded the imagination of the film crew. Not only are the aisles crowded with teachers and students, but some people are turned away by campus organizers because they are late. Because Yale students have always been famous for their personality and sharpness, and sometimes even a little "arrogant", Yan Song was obviously prepared to get hit by a brick in advance, and he played a little joke with the students, "You are welcome to throw shoes, but it is better to have two. Please remember that my shoe size is 43 ".

After listening to Bai's speech, I actually watched this video after class. Some words of Bai deeply touched me. What impressed me most was that "in the past many years, China people have been looking at the United States through binoculars, expanding the United States and thinking that the United States is good, and everything is better than China;" The Americans seem to be looking at China through a telescope, but they turn it around and shrink China. " . I think what Americans see is only some dark and unhealthy social phenomena in China society, but they regard China as "low"!

Many people used to think that China was inferior to the United States. Everything in America is good, both good and bad. Of course, I am no exception. But now I have gradually changed such an extremely naive view. However, what I want to say is, don't forget that you are a "China person". You were born in China and raised in China. You may leave this land in the future, or you may never go to the United States and become an American. Therefore, as China people, we should be proud that we are from China. China people should have their own sense of national pride and responsibility. We should strive to revitalize China, but we should not always praise the United States and belittle our country.

Although I am still young, I am shocked by the changes in China in recent ten years. I see that China has been striving to make1300 million people live a better life, increase everyone's income, improve the happiness index of every family, and fulfill the due responsibility of a country for every China person. I deeply feel that China feeds one-fifth of the world's population with limited land, and farmers in China can rely on state subsidies to grow grain; When China citizens are affected by the war abroad, China can mobilize the national strength to carry out the century-long migration of tens of thousands of people; On the merchant ships in the distant Somali waters, you can see the China Navy escorting you; In the near future, there will be China's own space station in the mysterious space. As China people, what reason can we not be proud that we are from China?

In the historical process of every country, all kinds of problems and contradictions will appear, which is the inevitable result. I have to admit that the development level of the United States is indeed better than that of China, and the technical level in some fields is much more advanced than that of China. But we are still working hard, problems and contradictions will be gradually solved and resolved, and China will get better and better. Of course, this is what everyone in China wants to see.

In the international community, China cannot do without the United States, and the United States cannot do without China. I hope these two countries can develop harmoniously and benefit each other. To borrow Bai's words, face to face between China and the United States is better than back to back. The second lesson of Ranli's humanitarian law
