It’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—Change the World, Change Ourselves.
It’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. Not long before about 10 Doctors in Beijing university and Qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ,because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.
Frankly speaking, I don’t quite agree with ed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. (examples) why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture.
There are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in China. On the one hand, some of the western holidays which we Chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as Father’s Day and April Fool’s Day etc. On the other hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in China. Overwhelmed by such a trend,Chinese unconsiciously get involved in western holidays and culture.
With the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becomes faster and more and more important. We are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? The answer is definitely no. What we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate Chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. Only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture. Only by educating can we preserve and promote the wealth that ourancesters left for us.
At last I’d like to share a famouse saying of Gandhi with all of you ,that is:If you want to change the world, then you must change yourself first.”
我很高興能站在這裡,現在我speech-Change世界,改變自己。 引人注目的是,西方的節日日益變得越來越流行,而中國的傳統節日都是受冷落。在不久的將來大約10醫生在北京大學和清華大學宣佈,我們應該拒絕入侵的西方節日,因為他們認為西方節日作為一種挑戰我們的傳統節日和文化。 坦白地說,我不完全同意他們。事實上,我們不應該忽視甚至拋棄我們的傳統節日作為中國擁有輝煌的歷史和燦爛的傳統。(例子)。但是我們為什麼不能吸收西方文化的意義。 有明顯的原因,一些西方節日在中國非常受歡迎。另一方面,一些西方的節日,我們中國人不合理和有意義的事情,比如父親節,愚人節等等。另一方面,普遍的全球化使得中西文化在中國的流行。被這一趨勢、中國unconsiciously捲入西方節日和文化。 摘要隨著世界的發展,文化交流不同國家和民族之間變得更快和更非常多,藝術設計多重要。我們確實是來自不同的國家,但我們是公民相同的世界,所以不同的民族優秀傳統文化中找到財富是地球上的每個人都…我們唯一的方法來保護我們的'傳統文化,就是拒絕外國的文化嗎?答案是絕對不行。我們應該做的就是不遺餘力地教導中國人瞭解並珍惜我們的輝煌的傳統,而不是拒絕外國文化。只有通過教育才能將我們的信心和勇氣向我們的文化。只有通過教育才能保持和提升的財富,我們祖先留給我們。 最後,我想說的一個著名的分享與你們在一起。甘地,那就是:如果你想要改變世界,那麼你必須改變你自己。”
