黑龙江 杨矛:The Dream We Have(中学组)

  Some days ago, I saw a picture in a newspaper. In the picture is a frightened girl. The four-year-old girl has just become motherless and homeless, and is lying in the arms of a doctor. Her pink clothes are bloodied and her hollow eyes are staring at something only she can see.

  People can always see images like this on TV.

  We see little children begging food and water from soldiers.

  We see dead bodies of common people deserted in the dust of bombing.

  We see heavy smoke rising from the burning cities, covering the solid blue sky.

  Every time we see these sad scenes, the only word that bursts out of our heart is "Peace, peace, peace!" But where on earth is the real, sweet peace?

  Actually, peace has always been the most beautiful wish of all the humans on the globe, but when we look back on the human civilization, there are millions of war nightmares flashing before our eyes-tears in mothers` eyes, birds standing on burnt logs, cameras in dead journalists` hands, wastelands after inhumane killings.

  Faced with all these terrible sights, our hearts are weeping. We are wondering why killings are found everywhere when we know peace is our desire. We are wondering why we can't bring an end to wars which are making us suffer. We are wondering why we have to destroy our only home instead of making efforts to decorate it.

  Maybe we haven't found the answers to these questions, but we'll try to pursue them. Maybe peace is still far away, but we still hold strong belief in it.

  We have a dream that one day the sky will no longer be covered with the clouds of bombing, so that white doves can fly freely.

  We have a dream that one day the earth will never cry, and the world will be full of the fragrance of flowers.

  We have a dream that one day all the people in the world, no matter they are white or black, yellow or red can join their hands together like brothers and sisters.

  We have a dream that one day there will be true harmony of humans and animals, without famine, without diseases, without pollution, without conflicts and without killings.

  Just as a famous song goes, "Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me, and for the entire human race."
