　　Goodmorning,ladiesandgentlemen:

　　BeforewesternandChinesecivilizationcameintoclosecontact,ChinesepeoplehadalwayslongedforalifedepictedintraditionalChinesepaintings.Thosepaintingspresentaharmoniouscoexistenceofpeopleandotherlifeforms.RegardedastheessenceofancientChinesephilosophies,harmonyhasbeendeeply-rootedinthemindsoftheChinesepeople.Ontheonehand,ithascontributedtotheuniquecontinuityofChinesecivilization.Ontheother,Chinesepeoplebecametoomuchcontentedwiththeirachievementstodesireanyfurtherchanges.Asglobalizationdeepens,itisboundtoaffectouridealofharmony.

　　First,globalizationurgesChinatospeedupitsmodernization,whichthreatensourregardfortheharmonybetweenManandNature.Forinstance,manydamsandhydropowerstationsarebeingbuiltforeconomicbenefitsattheexpenseofthewell-preservednaturalhabitats.However,ecologicalmalpracticeofsuchkindgoesagainstthenotionofharmoniouscoexistenceinancientChinesephilosophies.Morethan2,000yearsago,longbeforetheconceptofenvironmentalprotectioncameintobeing,DuJiangWeir,agreatirrigationprojectwasbuiltinsouthwesternChina'sSichuanprovince.Itsucceededbothincontrollingfloodsandinfacilitatingtheagriculturewithoutposingathreattotheenvironment.

　　Moreover,globalizationhasbroughtwithitintensecompetition.Traditionally,moderationisagoldenprinciple,presidingoverinter-personalrelationsinChina.Today,however,motivatedtocometothetop,somepeoplebecomesoself-centeredthattheychoosetosacrificelove,friendshipandevenfamilyties.

　　Lastbutnotleast,diversecultureshavemetinChinaasaconsequenceofglobalization.Therefore,aclashofculturesbecomesinevitable.Unfortunately,thepastdecadeshavewitnessedahugelossofculturalheritageinChina.IncitieslikeBeijingandXi'an,hundredsofcentury-oldChinese-stylehousesarebeingdemolishedtomakeroomforskyscrapers,shoppingmallsandeight-laneexpressways.

　　Fromtheseexamples,weseethedisharmonybroughtaboutbyglobalization.Yetitisnotglobalizationthatistoblame.Aslongasweapproachglobalizationwithharmonyinmind,itsbenefitwilloutweighitscost.Takemyhometown,Hangzhou,forexample,thankstothestrenuouseffortsmadebythemunicipalgovernmentinachievingeco-development,variouswaterbirdshavereturnedtotheWestLake,callingithomeagainafteryearsofmigrationelsewhere.Fromthelakebank,weseeskateboardersandtrickcyclistsshowingofftogetherwithpeopleflyingkitesandkickingshuttlecocksontheplazanearby.AlthoughtheycomposeapicturequitedistinctfromtraditionalChinesepaintings,thispictureconveysamodernsenseofharmonyinthiseraofglobalization.

　　Ladiesandgentlemen,toconclude,IwouldliketoquotefromBritishphilosopherBertrandRussell.IncontrastingChineseandWesterncivilizations,heobserved:

"Thedistinctivemeritofwesterncivilizationisthescientificmethod;thedistinctivemeritoftheChineseisajustconceptionoftheendsoflife.Itisthesetwothatonemusthopetoseegraduallyuniting."AsweseethetremendousprogressChinahasbeenmakingdrawingonexperienceabroad,wemayalsoexpecttheChinesetraditionalvalueofharmonytoenrichtheworld.IlookforwardtothetimewhenRussell'sprophecycomestrue.

　　Thankyouverymuch.
