Good afternoon dear ladies and gentlemen. It is my great honor to stand here and giving the speech on the title of: We are the world.

　　A long time ago, the individual was surrounded by nature so abundant that its immensity was amazing. All victories have been victories over nature, from the wild beast menacing the cavemen to the distance separating community. The wild beast has been conquered, and so has the distance. We can say that all science grow out of the conflicts between man and nature. For thousands of years we had created such a miraculous world with great development of science and technology. Computers are widely used in every area. Knowledge economy has become extremely popular and it is improving at a fantastic rate. All kinds of achievements have brought great benefits both to our work and our life.

　　Meanwhile, "the time of the finite world" has come, meaning is simply that nature no longer exists in the classic sense of the term; it lies within the hands of man. In the end, it means that there are no more oases to discover, no more frontiers to open up, and no more creatures to conquer. The discovery will become disappearance.

　　We are living in a world seething with tensions and racked by violence. The world has gone through two world wars in a short span of 30 years in the first half of the century left human beings with not only serious destruction but also thought-provoking lessons. The scourge of terrorism is yet unchecked. Drug abuse has spread like the plague. Crime has been internationalized. And nuclear weapons are within easy access. Clean air and water is being polluted and the rare animals are being killed. These crises are all issues of global proportion affecting the very survival of our human beings.

　　Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever stopped to notice all the blood we've shed before, have you ever stopped to notice the innocent children dead from war, and have you ever stopped to notice we have turned the holy land to the bleeding world.

　　Let's stop doing so my friends, and listen to the sound of the earth and the melody of our life. For you and me, for our later generations and for the crying nature. Because we are the world, we are sharing one and the same planet. Thank you.
