“The first day of summer, with everything in full bloom.” In this beautiful season, guests from over 100 countries have gathered in Beijing, to discuss the important matter of the establishment of the One Belt One Road Cooperative initiative, in a significant move. Today, with all these talented and distinguished people gathered, both young and old, I’m hoping we can put our heads together for greater efficiency, and for everyone to speak their minds, in order to make suggestions for the promotion of the One Belt One Road initiative, so that this momentous project can bring wealth to every citizen.

有猛虎，才能创造慷慨悲歌的英雄事业；涵蔓耿介拔俗的志士胸怀，才能做到孟郊所谓的“镜破不改光，兰死不改香”！

当然，你说的没错，所有的文化一定和社会形态密不可分。同时，孝悌文化经孔孟儒学的发挥，及历代帝王的提倡，也确实是深入民心。

dāngrán ，nǐshuōde méicuò ，suǒyǒu de wénhuà yīdìng hé shèhuì xíngtài mì bùkě fēn 。tóngshí ，xiàotì wénhuà jīng kǒngmèng rúxué de fāhuī ，jí lìdài dìwáng de tíchàng ，yě quèshí shì shēnrù mínxīn 。

Of course, you're right. All culture has an intimate relationship with social structures. At the same time, the culture of filial piety and fraternal duty, as expressed by Confucius, Mencius and the Confucian school, and promoted by successive emperors and kings, has really been deeply implanted in people's minds.
