Only with peace and stability can human beings realize their dreams better. Historical experience tells us that peace need to be striven for safeguarded. Peace can be hopeful only when everyone cherish and maintain it and always remember painful lessons of the war. History is the best teacher who keeps a fair of the paths that all countries have traveled and provided enlightenment for their future development. Chinese people are particular about “Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you” all long. Peace is to China what air is to people as well as sunshine is to all things growing.
