Title: Building a Harmonious Society
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning! Today, I am here to talk about the importance of building a harmonious society. In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, it has become crucial for us to work together and create a society where everyone can live in peace and harmony.
First and foremost, a harmonious society fosters social stability and economic development. When people live in harmony, they are more likely to trust and cooperate with one another. This leads to a stronger sense of community and a more conducive environment for businesses to thrive. In a harmonious society, conflicts are resolved peacefully, and people can focus on their personal growth and contribute to the overall well-being of the community.
Secondly, a harmonious society promotes social equity and inclusivity. It ensures that every individual, regardless of their background or social status, is treated with fairness and respect. In a harmonious society, there is no discrimination based on race, gender, or religion. Everyone has equal opportunities to education, healthcare, and employment. This not only improves the quality of life for individuals but also strengthens social cohesion and solidarity.
Furthermore, a harmonious society encourages cultural diversity and exchange. It recognizes the value of different cultures and traditions, and promotes mutual understanding and appreciation among different groups. When people from diverse backgrounds come together, they bring with them unique perspectives and ideas, leading to innovation and creativity. This cultural exchange enriches society and fosters a sense of global citizenship.
Lastly, a harmonious society prioritizes environmental sustainability. It recognizes the importance of preserving our natural resources and protecting the environment for future generations. It promotes sustainable development practices such as renewable energy, waste reduction, and conservation of biodiversity. By living in harmony with nature, we can ensure a healthier and more sustainable future for all.
In conclusion, building a harmonious society is essential for social stability, economic development, social equity, cultural diversity, and environmental sustainability. It requires the collective effort of individuals, communities, and governments. Let us strive together to create a society where everyone can live in peace, prosperity, and harmony. Thank you.

Title: Cultivating Harmony in Society
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon! Today, I would like to discuss the importance of cultivating harmony in our society. In a world filled with challenges and conflicts, it is crucial for us to foster a sense of harmony among individuals, communities, and nations.
Firstly, cultivating harmony promotes empathy and compassion. When we strive to understand and respect one another, we create an environment of trust and support. This encourages individuals to help and uplift each other, leading to a more caring and harmonious society. By practicing empathy, we can bridge the gaps between different perspectives and build stronger relationships.
Secondly, cultivating harmony promotes effective communication and conflict resolution. When we listen to one another with an open mind, we can find common ground and reach agreements peacefully. By promoting dialogue and understanding, we can prevent conflicts from escalating and find solutions that benefit all parties involved. This fosters a society where differences of opinions can be embraced and resolved through peaceful means.
Furthermore, cultivating harmony encourages personal growth and development. When individuals feel supported and valued in their communities, they are more likely to pursue their passions and goals. A harmonious society provides a nurturing environment where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential. This leads to a happier and more fulfilled society as a whole.
Lastly, cultivating harmony strengthens social cohesion and resilience. When people work together towards a common goal, they form strong bonds and a shared sense of purpose. In times of crisis or adversity, a harmonious society is better equipped to face challenges and overcome obstacles. By uniting our strengths and resources, we can build a resilient society that can withstand any hardships that come our way.
In conclusion, cultivating harmony in our society is crucial for promoting empathy, effective communication, personal growth, and social resilience. It requires individuals to embrace diversity, practice empathy, and work together towards common goals. Let us strive to create a harmonious society where everyone is valued, respected, and empowered. Thank you.

和谐社会英文演讲稿
Let me begin by thanking you, Mr. Levin, for your kind invitation and the opportunity to come to Yale to meet young friends and teachers of this world-renowned university.Coming to the Yale campus, with its distinctive academic flavor, and looking at the eager young faces in the audience, I cannot but recall my great experience studying at Qinghua University in Beijing 40 years ago. Indeed, what happens during one's school year will influence his whole life. I still benefit greatly from the instruction and my interaction with other students.
Yale is renowned for its long history, unique way of teaching and excellence in academic pursuit. If time could go back several decades, I would really like to be a student of Yale just like you.
Yale's motto “Light and Truth,” which is a calling for human progress, represents the aspiration of every motivated young man and woman. Over the past three centuries, Yale has produced a galaxy of outstanding figures, including 20 Nobel laureates and five American presidents. The words of Nathan Hale, an American hero and Yale alumnus, “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country,” have also inspired me and many other Chinese. I sincerely hope that Yale will produce more talent and contribute further to the social and economic development of the United States and the cause of human progress.
Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends.
The Chinese and Americans have always had an intense interest in and cared deeply about each other. The Chinese admire the pioneering and enterprising spirit of the Americans and their proud achievement in national development. As China develops rapidly and steady headway is made in China-U.S. cooperation, more and more Americans are following with great interest China's progress and development.
Understanding leads to trust. Today, I would like to speak to you about China's development strategy and its future against the backdrop of the evolution of the Chinese civilization and China's current development endeavor. I hope this will help you gain a better understanding of China.
In a history that spans more than five millennia, the Chinese nation has contributed significantly to the progress of human civilization. But its course of national development has been an arduous one. In particular in the 160 years and more since the Opium War in 1840, the Chinese people have fought courageously and unyieldingly to rid themselves of poverty and backwardness and to realize national rejuvenation, thus profoundly changing the destiny of the Chinese nation. Ninety-five years ago, the Chinese people launched the Revolution of 1911 that overthrew the feudal autocracy which had ruled China for several thousand years and opened the door to China's progress.
Fifty-seven years ago, the Chinese people succeeded in winning liberation after protracted and hard struggle and founded New China in which people became their own masters. Twenty-eight years ago, the Chinese people embarked upon the historic drive of reform, opening-up and modernization and have made phenomenal progress through unremitting efforts.
Between 1978 and 2005, China's GDP grew from $147.3 billion to $2.2257 trillion. Its import and export volume went up from $20.6 billion to $1.4221 trillion and its foreign exchange reserve soared from $167 million to $818.9 billion. During this period, the number of its poor rural population dropped from 250 million to 23 million. The above review of the profound changes in these 160 years shows one thing, namely, by carrying out persistent and hard struggle, the Chinese people have both changed their own destiny and advanced the cause of human progress.
On the other hand, I need to point out that, despite the success in its development, China remains the world's largest developing country, with per capita GDP ranking behind the 100th place. The Chinese people are yet to live a well-off life and China still faces daunting challenges in its development endeavor. Therefore it requires sustained and unremitting efforts to transform the country and make life better for its people. In the next 15 years, we will strive to make new progress in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way that will benefit China's one billion and more population.
We aim to raise China's GDP to $4 trillion by 2020, averaging $3,000 per person. By then, China's economy will be better developed and its democracy will be further enhanced. More progress will be made in science and education. Its culture will be further enriched, the society will become more harmonious and the people will lead a better life.
To realize these goals, China has adopted a new concept of development in line with its national conditions and the requirement of the times. That is, to pursue a scientific outlook on development that makes economic and social development people-oriented, comprehensive, balanced and sustainable. We will work to strike a proper balance between urban and rural development, development among regions, economic and social development, development of man and nature, and domestic development and opening wider to the outside world. Greater emphasis will be put on addressing issues affecting people's livelihood, overcoming imbalances in development and resolving key problems that have occurred in the course of development. We will pursue a new path to industrialization featuring high technology, good economic returns, low resource-consumption, low environment pollution and full use of human resources. We will bring about coordinated economic, political, cultural and social development. And we will endeavor to ensure sustainable development by boosting production, improving people's life and protecting the environment.
This concept of scientific development is based on the experience China has gained in its modernization drive and put forth in response to the trends of the times. It is also rooted in the cultural heritages of the Chinese nation.
The Chinese civilization is one that has continued uninterrupted for more than 5,000 years. The distinct cultural tradition of the Chinese nation that developed in the long course of history has exerted a strong influence on contemporary China, just as it did on ancient China. Putting people first, keeping pace with the times, maintaining social harmony and pursuing peaceful development: these values that are being pursued in China today are derived from its tradition. But they also give expression to the progress of the times.
The Chinese civilization has always given prominence to the people and respect for people's dignity and value. Centuries ago, the Chinese already pointed out that “people are the foundation of a country; when the foundation is stable, the country is in peace.” Nothing is more valuable in the universe than human beings. The ancient Chinese emphasized the value of serving the people, enriching them, nourishing them, and benefiting them. We are pursuing today a people-oriented approach toward development because we believe that development must be for the people and by the people and its benefit should be shared among the people.
We care about people's value, rights and interests and freedom, the quality of their life, and their development potential and happiness index because our goal is to realize the all-around development of the people. Ensuring the right to survival and development remains China's top priority. We will vigorously promote social and economic development, protect people's freedom, democracy and human rights according to law, achieve social fairness and justice and enable the 1.3 billion Chinese people to live a happy life.
The Chinese civilization has always given prominence to unremitting self-improvement, reform and innovation. As an ancient Chinese motto puts it, “As Heaven keeps vigor
