中国国家形象片（英文版）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. Our songs of how the earth is our garden and our pride in surviving our long history suddenly became more vivid and clear.Who are the Chinese? What makes us who we are? But even before this momentous chapter in our history, Chinese people have always regarded themselves from multi facets and angles. Is tradition a burden, or kind of driving force for development? Do we take our culture heritage too seriously, or not seriously enough? Do you see conflict or fusion, or visions of the futureChapter 1 Opening the Door with Confidence 开放而有自信In 1979，China opened the biggest window in the world to the outside, and China suddenly dazzled people of panorama with the panorama of change. Some may argue that under such a huge material and mental stimulation, it would be hard to maintain equilibrium.But after 30 years, the world has seen how much Chinas profound history and culture ascent has given, leave us the flexibility and unity when facing fast transformation.Observers must admit in its meeting with the world, China has preserved its own special character. 30 years opening has been a time of bravely facing the new and stepping forward on a path of our own choosing. Several respected international reports bring us No.1 in terms of public confidence in the future. Is this confidence underlined by GDP growth, or thousands of years of culture, or the efforts of many millions of people? We believe China will deliver an answer before too long.Chapter 2 Growth with Sustainability 增长而能持续Over two thousand years ago, the great Chinese philosopher Mencius observed the refraining of overfishing will ensure fishing last forever. And also cutting woods according to seasons ensures healthier forest. Such century with all the wisdom now goes by the name sustainable development.In China today, you can see GDP increasing, personal income increasing and with that the increase of peoples dreams. You can also see people sharing the increase of educational opportunities.As energy need have increased, so has Chinas international environmental responsibility, Chinese people know that our beautiful country and our childrens futures are too high a price to pay for economic growth.Chapter 3 Development with Sharing 发展而能共享A leading European city?

Sharing the fruits of development among the different sectors of society has been our first priority in our thoughts and actions. In Beijing, migrant workers children have their own special educational arrangements. Sharing the benefits of growth in a reasonable way is a unwaivering way we must prusue.Chapter 4 Multiculturalism with Shared Prosperity多元而能共荣While leaving five thousands kilometers apart, the 55 ethnic minorities and the far north south east and west of China over thousands of years have mixed with culture and added to our cultural richness and diversity. Our newfound prosperity has given minorities more choices to enhance traditional lifestyles and increase mobility and communication. Minorities enjoy relatively liberal regulations allowing them to pass their unique heritage on to their children. Such unique freedom further adds to our culturys rich cultural diversity. And auditiosly(?) blends the imaginations of east and west, ancient and modern.Paining, 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.Chapter 5 Freedom with Responsibility 自由而有秩序China today is home to seven hundred and eighty millions mobile phone usersand four hundred and twenty million internet users.

Its not hard to imagine how hard this has been.Today, around 9 hundred million people in the Chinese countryside enjoyvillage voting rights. The world applauses such training for democracy, afterall, before flourishing nationally, free elections must begin after(?) villagelevel.The National Peoples Congress remains Chinas supreme legistive body. Sincethe late 70s, far fairer and more transparent have been used to elect NPCdelegates. Here the most important decisions in the country are made. This is Chinas period of greatest change. A proper legal framework isstarting to replace the habit of personal relationships as the principalweapon and defence for peoples interest.Chapter 7 Economic Differences with Mutual Respect贫富而能互尊During an economic take-off, difference between rich and poor can sometimes beseen. Is this something China should worry about? Much Chinese new wealth tells a ride-to-rich story (.?). And people rememberthat not so long ago they have only a dream in their pocket.
