Chapter 261 To Overseas Friends and Compatriots

I just wrote the above few words, my memories and feelings of love are like a wave of tide rolling in from a calm sea, hitting the big and small "past events" reefs on the beach, and suddenly spewing out bright and high Spray! In my life, I have studied, lived, and visited many countries overseas... In this world, there are people and landscapes that I have dreamed of almost everywhere. Every time I think of it, it is like a kind and beautiful picture. Before my eyes, what I want to write is really a thousand words!But this letter is not addressed to a certain person, where should I start writing?

First of all, I want to tell you about my recent situation.I am physically older than when I was with you, but mentally I am much younger, and my life is much more comfortable.In recent years, my country has really been "smooth in government and harmonious in people". I am very satisfied with our leaders.Because most of them are more like "public servants" than "sirs".Under their leadership, one billion people worked together, farmers, who accounted for eight tenths of the total people, became rich, our intellectuals, women and children were valued, and the energy resources of our vast land were developed, etc. Wait, of course, compared with developed countries, our living standards still have a gap, but for the first time in my life, I see everyone is so optimistic and excited!

Speaking of myself, shortly after returning from a visit to Japan in 1980, I suffered from a cerebral thrombosis, and later suffered a fracture to my right leg, and have never left my home since then.What saddens me the most is that I missed many opportunities to visit you abroad and meet you again!But every time my overseas friends and compatriots come to Beijing, they will bring souvenirs to see me.This moved me to tears.But also because he often receives customers, he was warned by the doctor! I still hope that my overseas friends and compatriots often come to China to see, not to see me, but to see the changes in China in recent years, as well as our living and working conditions. If there is anything that should be improved, please feel free to point out .I want us all to have more frequent exchanges, deeper understanding, and deeper sympathy.Because promoting human progress and maintaining world peace should be the sacred mission of our generation!Don't we often talk about this subject?

Finally, please allow me to use a small section of the People's Daily Overseas Edition to wish my overseas friends and compatriots smooth work and good health!Your sincere friend Bing Xin
