In October 2003, the first Chinese citizen saw his homeland from outer space and the mythology and dreams of thousands of years became a reality.2003年10月，中国人第一次从外太空亲眼看到了自己的国家，那数千年的神话和畅想，变成了真实的注视Our songs of how the earth is our garden and our pride in surviving our long history suddenly became more vivid and clear.那些关于地球是个家园的歌颂关于自己在漫长历史里生存下来的骄傲这时刻比别的时候更加清晰具体中国CHINAWho are the Chinese? 我们是谁What makes us who we are? 我们在想什么But even before this momentous chapter in our history, Chinese people have always regarded themselves from multi-faceted angles.早在创造中国历史的这一刻之前，中国人也从未中断过从其他角度审视自己的国家。
Is tradition a burden or kind of a driving force for development?传统是一种背负还是一种推动发展的动力Do we take our cultural heritage too seriously or not seriously enough?文化的传承是太受到关注，还是太漫不经心Do you see conflict or fusion, nostalgia or visions of the future？你看到的是冲突还是融合，是回忆还是未来？Opening the door with confidence开放而有自信30年前，一扇世界上最的的窗户打开了……这个国家，旋即迎接了令人眼花缭乱的变化 In 1979, China opened the biggest window in the world to the outside and China suddenly dazzled people with the panorama of change. 或许有人认为，在这样巨大的物质和信息刺激下，想保持镇定都非常困难Some may argue under such huge material andmental stimulation, it would be hard to maintain equilibrium.在我心目中，中国是一个包容性非常强的国家In my mind, China is a country that has very strong inclusiveness.她是一个很有文化的一个国家She is a country with rich culture.又有历史的沧桑感，但是又在日新月异的变化着She has a long history, but also changes everyday..但是接下来30年间发生的事情，却让全世界都看到一个有着悠久历史底蕴的文化在面临全新变革之时，能够展现出怎样的包容性和应变能力But after 30 years, the world hasseen how much China’s profound history and cultural essence has given, lead us to flexibility and unity when facing fast transformation.(龙永图 WTO谈判中国首席代表)：加入世贸以后，整个国力的增强使得中国人更加自信，也更加开放After China’s accession to the WTO,Chinese people are getting more and more confident because of the increasing national strength.人们不得不承认，中国在和全世界接轨的同时，保持着自己鲜明的特色Observers must中国近几年教育发展的可以用天翻地覆来形容Recently ,the development of Chinese education is amazing在逐步的完成从应试教育到素质教育的转变。
The exam-oriented education is changing to quality-oriented education step by step.我们的教学越来越丰富，我们的孩子得到的教育也越来越多元化。
It will be more and more kinds of method for teaching and our children will get diversified education 能源的增长，以及责任心的增长。
As energy needs have increased, so has China’s international environmental responsibility. 中国人已经懂得，任何增长也不值得拿牺牲自己美丽的家园和后代的未来来换。
Chinese people know that our beautiful country and our children’s futures are too high a price to pay for economic growth.Development with sharing发展而能共享很难说出这是欧洲的什么地方吧A leading European city? 这里是上海。
It’s actually Shanghai. 出现在中国街头的外国人中，游客正在被大批真正在中国生活和工作的外籍人士所取代。
In China today, foreign professionals are arriving with tourists to be the largest overseas group.(M)我因为商业贸易每年来中国两次，感受到中国人都非常好……I came here twice a year for businesses, and feel Chinese people are very nice...(M)我们现在生活在身边的外国人越来越多了……I've been in China and studied in university. There are many opportunities in business...(M) 中国的每一个部分，你都能看到这样不同的文化，我认为这是亚洲最好的地方……Every part of China, you have like different culture, I think it is the best place in Asia...(M) 感觉现在生活在身边的外国人越来越多了……The number of foreign people around us is increasing. (F)中国现在已经很国际化了……China has been very international...尤其是在北京奥运会、上海世博会以及广州亚运会的促动下，越来越多的外籍人士正在把中国作为自己事业的新起点The Beijing Olympics, the Shanghai Expo, the Guangzhou Asian Games, the fact that more and more foreigners are starting their careers in China.(曾子墨知名主持人)在奥运会期间，我想全世界的中国人，无论生活在地球的哪个角落，你都会觉得特别的自豪。
(Zeng Zimo Well-known television host) During Olympic Games, I think every Chinese who live all over the whole world no matter where ever you live which corner of the earth, you will be proud of being a Chinese.经济发展的成果还使中国得以更好的担当世界公民的使命。
As such the results of sustained economic development have all enhanced our growing status on the world stage. 而在国内，阶层之间如何共享国家的发展，则被当做稳定社会的第一要务来思考和实践。
Sharing the fruits of development among the different sectors of society has been our first priority in our thoughts and actions. 在北京，农民工的孩子现在拥有了自己的班级甚至学校。
In Beijing, migrant workers’children have their own special educational arrangements. 发展利益的合理分享将不懈的被追求下去。
Sharing the benefits of growth in a reasonable way is an unwavering goal we must pursue.(M) 我们国家现在正在提倡走城乡一体化的道路……Our country is encouraging the urban-rural integration...(M) 各个阶层都能享受国家的福利……All levels of the society can enjoy the benefits from government...(M) 社会保障制度也越来越完善……Social insurance system is also improving... Multiculturalism with shared prosperity多元而能共荣While living some 5.000 km apart, the 55 ethnic minorities in the far North, South, East, West of China, over thousands of years, have mixed with Han culture and added to our cultural richness and diversity. Our new-found prosperity has given minorities more choices to enhance traditional lifestyles and increase mobility and communication. Minorities enjoy relative liberal regulations allowing them to pass their unique heritage on to their children. Such unique freedom further adds to our country’s rich cultural diversity and odditiously blends the imaginations of east and west, ancient and modern.Painting, sculpture, music, architecture, movies, Chinese arts are unified by a clear national identity. China is more encouraging of unique individuals and styles. Such diversity is the corner stone of our brave and open-minded future.Freedom with responsibilityChina today is home to 780.000.000 mobile phone users and 420.000.000 Internet users. And everyday many millions communicate and express themselves to a modern technology. Chinese netizens are becoming accustomed to influencing regional and global opinions.From all over the globe, Chinese netizens are showing their instant compassion and eagerness to strengthen the society by helping those most in need.Our people’s optimism and gener osity is born of huge loyalty and love for their country.Expanding democracy with stable authorityUnderstanding a little of Chinese history shows that recent years have involved compression or even skipping over important stages of development. Heroes of China have always struggled during complex stages of development to build democracy. It’s not hard to imagine how hard this has been. Today around 900.000.000 people in the Chinese countryside enjoy village voting rights. The world applauds such training for democracy. After all, before flourishing nationally, free elections must begin at the village level. The National People’s Congress remains China’s supreme legislate body. Since the late 1970s, far fair and more transparent margin elections have been used to elect NPC delegates. Here the most important decisions in the country are made.This is China’s period of greatest change. A proper legal framework is starting to replace the habit of personal relationships as the principle weapon and defense the people’s interests.Economic differences with mutual respectDuring an economic takeoff, difference between rich and poor can sometimes be seen. Is this something Chinese should worry about? Much Chinese new wealth calls a rags-to -riches story.And people remember, not so long ago, they had only a dream in their pocket. People can transform from poverty to richness in a single day but it will never change the respect and love between people. And everyone who has a dream deserves respect. Improved living conditions ensure everyone can contribute to public service initiatives.Prosperity with prudenceChinese people are shifting from being consumers of materials to non-material goods. Besides buying cars and houses, people are buying a modern life style.As saving money has long been a national virtue, China can back its development with strong financial reserves. When celebrating China’s 60th anniversary, the government also demonstrated the value of thrifty. The Shanghai Expo is similarly leading the way in recycling.Chinese people understand future happiness must be built on the foundation of the past. Chinese people have never cherished their cultural heritage more than today, nor felt more its lingering charm which is why after so many generations we are still here. From tradition to revelation, inspired by the future, Chinese people are creating an even newer way of thinking: building this generation’s new common spirit.。
