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. 1234
