摘要

The thing that impressed me most was that The Internationale was the first song at the gala at the Bird's Nest and the last song at the Tiananmen Square on July 1. On that day, many people were singing The Internationale in Chinese. I was singing it in English and a man right in front of me, a professor from France, was singing in French. Diplomats, too, were singing the song in their own native languages. And what their singing demonstrated, at least to me, is that throughout much of the world, China has many friends who work together in a common way toward achieving benefits, not just for China, but for people around the world.
