A few corrupted guys is worse than any earthquake

Throughout history, the strongest countries at certain era must have high percentage of patriots.

No matter these countries had invaded others or recovered from loss of war, such support is the only factor.

An old Chinese saying, when country is in trouble, any man should respond. Of course, no matter how the country would face, there were some bad sheep. They might not be traitors, but they might be so selfish to care their own benefit. The most common sin is corruption.

We all know that corruption is not limited to one country. Every country in the world, developed or not, big or small, rich or poor, is not short of corruption.

This time I am not talking about why China always face unfair compliant. I shall leave it for the future.

There are thousands, millions and even billions patriots right before our eyes. Some are heroes Some are good officers.

But during recent press release events, they always asked about how to guarantee the use of funds etc. This hidden reason is corruption. I feel sad for them.

To show respect to heroes by all means or tons of medals cannot change the bad image made by a handful of corrupted officers. This is worse than any earthquake.

This year is the best time to start a campaign to fight against corruption. The root of corruption is the attitude of people.

Why? Why one wants to get money? Being rich will be respected by most people. Who would not like to be respected?

Of course, if you are a hero or a great leader, you will be respected. But it costs a lot of hard work and perhaps a lot of sacrifice.

Let all children know that if they receive anything from their parent, no matter how insignificant it will be, if the money is earned by their work, it is a godsend. If the money comes from untold source, no matter how nice it will be, it is a shame. Not only shame for the children, it is a shame to their country, it is a shame to their heroes.

Why children only? Well, the elders cannot be taught anymore. If the elders know this, they will not behave like fawningly to those rich ones.

I use to say such manner is worse than a prostitute. A prostitute offers her body to one who pay and that means she have exchange for money. Those behave fawningly to rich one have no money received and that means they offer their soul, their dignity for nothing.

在人類歷史中，最強的國家必定是在該時代有高比率的愛國者。無論是侵略其他國家或是在戰敗後重建，這是唯一的原因。中國的古訓有說【國家有難匹夫有責】。當然，無論國家的情況如何，也必定有一些壞份子。他們未必是叛國，但他們是極之自私只為個人的利益著想。最普通的是貪污。

我們都知道貪污並不是在某一個國家。世界上所有國家無論是發展與否，大與細，富裕或窮困都不乏貪污的人。

這次我不是談中國受到不公平看待的問題。我會在將來討論。

這次在我們眼前的是千千萬萬以至億計的愛國人士。有些是英雄。有些是好官員。

但在最近的發佈會時，他們總會被問及如何捐款用途的保障問題。言下之意絕對是認為有貪污的機會。我為他們的遭遇感到難過。

向英雄致敬或無數的獎牌都不能改變少數貪污官員做成的壞聲譽。這些傷害比地震更甚。
今年是推動消滅貪污的最佳時期。貪污的根源是人民心態。

為什麼？為什麼一個人需要金錢呢？有錢就會受大部份人尊敬。誰會不喜歡受到尊敬呢？
當然如果你是英雄或是一個偉大的領袖，你一定會被人尊敬。但代價是相當的努力甚至不少犧牲。

告訴所有兒童如果他們父母給他們任何事物，無論是如何渺小，只要是父母工作得來的錢，都是極佳的愛。如果錢的來源是不明不白，無論是如何貴重，都是他們的羞恥，都是他們國家的羞恥，都是對他們尊敬英雄的羞恥。

為什麼只對兒童呢？成年人已不可教了。如果成年人明白，他們就不會見到有錢人時變成那麼奉承的像子。

我經常說這些奉承有錢人的行為比不上妓女。妓女向付款的人獻身但她們收到金錢作為交換。奉承的人沒有錢收而獻出他們的靈魂他們的尊嚴。
