The country is at war. If a country is busy hurting each other at home, 就没有精力去发展了。So peace is everything. Who can bring peace, who can bring prosperity, I think who are doing a great job. A lot of people think that if you are a little bit westernized, 好像我们学习英语你就是不爱国了。 That’s different. When you learn English and understand more about the world, you will be even more proud of your country, because we are in a really great period of time. We are tired of this war. We want harmony. As long as the status quo can remain, I think that’s what we want. There is no reason that we want it to change. So far so good. So just keeps it going on.

 

Things look different from different ways. Language sounds different from different Perspectives.

小麦老师解读：He has tried his best. 委婉的表示他已经尽力了。
