Chapter 19 With the inspiration record 36

Many people have great fears now; I have great fears too. What many people fear is that the term "Chinese" will be eliminated; what I fear is that Chinese people will be squeezed out from among the "people of the world". I thought that the term "Chinese" would never be eliminated; as long as the human race remained, it would always be Chinese.For example, the Egyptian Jews[2], no matter whether they still have the "national quintessence" or not, now they always call them Egyptian Jews, and the name has not changed.It can be seen that there is no need to work hard to save the name.

However, if you want to grow together and earn a position in today's world, you need to have a fairly advanced knowledge, morality, character, and thinking to be able to stand firm: this requires a lot of hard work.And the nationals with many "national essences" are especially laborious and troublesome, because they have too many "national essences".Too much essence is too special.If you are too special, it will be difficult to grow together with all kinds of people and earn status. Someone said: "We must grow specially; otherwise, why are we Chinese!" So they have to be squeezed out from the "people of the world".

So the Chinese have lost the world, but they still have to live in this world for the time being! — This is my great fear.

(2) Egyptian Jews are Jews (also known as Israelites or Hebrews).They first lived in Alexandria, Egypt and other places. In 1320 BC, their national leader Moses led them to leave Egypt and go to Canaan (Palestine) to establish a country.Because they came from Egypt, they are called Egyptian Jews.By AD 70, the Jewish state was the Roman Empire
