Dear Mr Hugo,
Hello!
After reading your letter to Captain Butler about the British-French Allied Expedition to China, I was moved by your broad mind and noble character. China is a plundered country. It is natural that we condemn robbers and evil. However, in a country ruled by "bandits", you speak for a bullied country and openly protest against the robber behavior of your own government. It's admirable that you put justice first regardless of your personal safety. On behalf of my country, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you! Although you are dead, I hope you can hear the sincere words of thanks from China students more than a century later in heaven!
Looking at broken walls in Yuanmingyuan and thinking of the heinous crime of British and French allied forces destroying Chinese civilization, I deeply feel that a country must develop and be strong if it is not trampled and manipulated by others. It pains me to think about the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government and the impudence of Empress Dowager Cixi who "measured the material resources of China and won the favor of the country". I would like to ask such a A Qing government, such a ruler, China can not be subject to others? Now, it is gratifying that, through the struggle of countless people with lofty ideals, China has finally ushered in national independence and national liberation; After the efforts of three generations of leaders, they finally embarked on the road of national rejuvenation. Mr Hugo, if you see the prosperity of China today, your noble heart will also show a knowing smile.
China is an ancient civilization with 5,000 years of splendid culture. The people are hardworking and kind, and many warm-blooded men have left immortal poems of patriotism. The poet Lu You famously said, "I dare not forget worrying about my country"; Lu Xun, a litterateur, wrote the clank oath of "I commend Xuanyuan with blood"; And Wen Tianxiang also left the eternal swan song "Who has never died since ancient times, we should manage our own history". Although I can't compare with them in literary talent and ambition, I also know that loving the motherland is the purest, keenest, noblest, strongest, gentlest and most sacred feeling. Although I am only one of the sentient beings, I am insignificant, even like a grain of dust, a drop in the ocean. But I firmly believe that as long as the people of Qi Xin work together and unite as one, China will be strong again and Yuanmingyuan will be brilliant again!
Dear Mr Hugo, thank you for standing on the side of human civilization and upholding justice for China, so that the people of China can see the dawn of human civilization in the dark world. Thank you for cherishing the achievements of human civilization and respecting its creators. Thank you for your sympathy and support for the people of China. Your dependence on the world makes the people of weak countries no longer lonely. Thank you for your philanthropic spirit and just conscience, and let the desperate people of China see that there is still a trace of kindness and loftiness in the world! Finally, on behalf of my motherland, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you again! I hope there will be no more war, plunder and barbarism in this world!
May you rest in peace under the grave!
I am here to convey
welcome
