新华网联合国9月23日电 国家主席胡锦涛23日在美国纽约出席第64届联大一般性辩论时发表题为《同舟共济 共创未来》的重要讲话。讲话全文如下:
同舟共济 共创未来——在第64届联大一般性辩论时的讲话(2009年9月23日,美国纽约)中华人民共和国主席 胡锦涛
主席先生,各位同事,女士们,先生们:
当今世界正处在大发展大变革大调整时期,和平、发展、合作的时代潮流更加强劲。世界多极化、经济全球化深入发展,多边主义和国际关系民主化深入人心,开放合作、互利共赢成为国际社会广泛共识,国与国相互依存更加紧密。
同时,国际金融危机影响仍在持续,世界经济复苏前景还不明朗,全球失业和贫困人口数量上升,发展不平衡更加突出,气候变化、粮食安全、能源资源安全、公共卫生安全等全球性问题进一步显现,恐怖主义、大规模杀伤性武器扩散、跨国有组织犯罪、重大传染性疾病等非传统安全威胁依然存在,一些热点问题长期得不到解决,地区局部冲突此起彼伏,国际形势中的不稳定不确定因素给世界和平与发展带来严峻挑战。
面对前所未有的机遇和挑战,国际社会应该继续携手并进,秉持和平、发展、合作、共赢、包容理念,推动建设持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界,为人类和平与发展的崇高事业不懈努力。
第一,用更广阔的视野审视安全,维护世界和平稳定。在人类历史上,各国安全从未像今天这样紧密相连。安全内涵不断扩大,传统安全威胁和非传统安全威胁相互交织,涉及政治、军事、经济、文化等诸多领域,对各国构成共同挑战,需要采用综合手段共同应对。安全不是孤立的、零和的、绝对的,没有世界和地区和平稳定,就没有一国安全稳定。
我们应该坚持互信、互利、平等、协作的新安全观,既维护本国安全,又尊重别国安全关切,促进人类共同安全。坚持联合国宪章宗旨和原则,坚持用和平方式解决地区热点问题和国际争端,反对任意使用武力或以武力相威胁。支持联合国在国际安全领域继续发挥重要作用。坚持平等、互利、合作精神,保障全球经济金融稳定。坚持反对一切形式的恐怖主义、分裂主义、极端主义,不断深化国际安全合作。
全面禁止和彻底销毁核武器,建立无核武器世界,是中国的一贯主张。国际社会应该切实推进核裁军进程,消除核武器扩散风险,促进核能和平利用及其国际合作。
第二,用更全面的观点看待发展,促进共同繁荣。在经济全球化深入发展的大背景下,各国发展息息相关。没有发展中国家普遍发展和平等参与,就没有世界共同繁荣,就无法建立更加公正合理的国际经济秩序。受国际金融危机冲击,发展中国家外部发展环境恶化,经济增长普遍减速,发展遇到严重困难。
我们应该把促进共同发展作为解决全球发展不平衡和实现可持续发展的重要途径。联合国应该加大对发展问题的投入,促进经济全球化朝着均衡、普惠、共赢方向发展,努力营造有利于发展中国家发展的国际环境。国际金融机构应该把新增资源首先用于帮助发展中国家脱困,以更加灵活多样、更加便利快捷的方式提供贷款支持。国际金融体系改革应该着力提高发展中国家代表性和发言权。
我们应该采取负责任的应对国际金融危机举措,坚定反对保护主义,积极推动多哈回合谈判早日取得全面、均衡的成果。发达国家应该向发展中国家开放市场、减免关税,兑现官方发展援助和减债承诺,特别是加大对最不发达国家援助力度,重点解决其面临的饥饿、医疗、教育等问题。
发展中国家应该立足自主发展,探索有利于实现发展、消除贫困的发展模式。发展中国家之间应该扩大贸易和投资合作,相互开放市场,提升南南合作水平。
第三,用更开放的态度开展合作,推动互利共赢。在气候变化、粮食安全、能源资源安全、公共卫生安全等全球性挑战面前,任何国家都不可能独善其身。加强国际合作,是应对挑战、确保和睦安宁的必由之路。我们应该树立共赢理念,把本国人民利益同世界人民共同利益结合起来,扩大各方利益汇合点。
气候变化是人类生存和发展面临的严峻挑战之一。国际合作是应对气候变化的关键。我们应该坚持《联合国气候变化框架公约》及其《京都议定书》主渠道地位,坚持共同但有区别的责任原则,坚持“巴厘路线图”的授权,推动哥本哈根大会取得成功,努力实现互利共赢。
粮食和能源问题事关各国民生、发展、稳定。我们应该加大农业投入,发展先进技术,抑制市场投机,增加粮食援助,加强农业和粮食合作。加强能源开发利用方面的互利合作,加紧研发新能源和可再生能源,构建先进能源技术研发和推广体系,实现能源供应多元化。
甲型流感持续蔓延,已成为国际社会共同面临的全球性公共卫生挑战。中国愿为发展中国家防控甲型流感提供力所能及的帮助。
第四,用更宽广的胸襟相互包容,实现和谐共处。不同文明交流借鉴、兼容并蓄,是社会进步的不竭动力。国家不分大小、强弱、贫富一律平等。我们应该承认各国文化传统、社会制度、价值观念的差异,尊重各国自主选择发展道路的权利。积极促进和保障人权,加强对话,消除隔阂。倡导开放包容精神,使不同文明和发展模式在竞争比较中取长补短、在求同存异中共同发展。
主席先生、各位同事!
中国人民即将迎来中华人民共和国成立60周年。60年前,中国人民经过长期艰苦奋斗实现了民族独立、人民解放,建立起人民当家做主的新中国。30年前,中国人民开始了改革开放和社会主义现代化建设的伟大历史征程。中国社会迸发出前所未有的活力和创造力。而今的中国,综合国力显著增强,人民生活总体上达到小康水平。中国发展对世界和平与发展作出了重大贡献。
历史是继续前进的基础,是开创未来的启示。我们清醒地认识到,中国仍然是发展中国家,我们在发展进程中遇到的矛盾和问题无论规模还是复杂性都世所罕见。中国要全面建成惠及十几亿人口的更高水平的小康社会,进而基本实现现代化、实现全体人民共同富裕,还有很长的路要走。中国将继续从本国国情出发,坚持走中国特色社会主义道路,坚持以经济建设为中心,坚持改革开放,全面推进经济建设、政治建设、文化建设、社会建设以及生态文明建设,真正做到发展为了人民、发展依靠人民、发展成果由人民共享,努力实现以人为本、全面协调可持续的科学发展。
中国的前途命运日益紧密地同世界的前途命运联系在一起。中国越是发展,对世界的贡献就越大,给世界带来的机遇也越大。中国将始终不渝走和平发展道路,始终不渝奉行互利共赢的开放战略,坚持在和平共处五项原则的基础上同所有国家发展友好合作。中国过去、现在、将来都是维护世界和平、促进共同发展的积极力量。
中国作为一个负责任的发展中大国,历来把促进共同发展作为外交政策的重要内容,尽力向其他发展中国家提供支持和帮助,已兑现对联合国《千年宣言》所作承诺。截至目前,中国向120多个国家提供了援助,累计免除49个重债穷国和最不发达国家债务,对40多个最不发达国家的商品给予零关税待遇。
国际金融危机发生以来,中国在面临巨大困难的情况下,保持人民币汇率基本稳定,为维护国际贸易健康发展发挥了重要作用。我们积极参与国际金融公司贸易融资计划,向国际货币基金组织提供融资支持并主要用于帮助发展中国家。我们同有关发展中国家签署双边货币互换协议。我们设立“中国-东盟投资合作基金”,为上海合作组织成员国提供信贷支持,积极参与东亚区域外汇储备库建设。
为进一步帮助发展中国家,中国还将采取以下举措。
——继续加强对受国际金融危机影响严重的发展中国家的支持,认真落实有关增资融资计划,加强贸易和投资合作,增强有关国家抵御金融风险和可持续发展能力。
——继续落实中国在联合国千年发展目标高级别会议上提出的帮助发展中国家加快发展的举措,促进联合国千年发展目标的实现。
——继续落实中非合作论坛北京峰会确定的各项援非举措,增加对非援助,减免非洲重债穷国和最不发达国家债务,扩大对非贸易和投资,在农业、卫生、教育、防灾减灾等领域向非洲国家提供人力和技术支持,加大面向非洲的人力资源培训。
——继续参与和推动地区货币金融合作,维护地区金融和经济形势稳定,促进地区金融合作和贸易发展。
主席先生、各位同事!
同舟共济、互利共赢是时代对我们的客观要求,也是实现各国共同发展繁荣的必由之路。让我们携起手来,共同分享发展机遇,共同应对各种挑战,为建设持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界而不懈努力!
谢谢各位。

VIEW TIBET WITH OPEN VISION

Since Democratic Reform was launched in Tibet Autonomous Region in 1959, tremendous changes have taken place in this region. Great progress has been made in every area to enable Tibet to enter the best period of its development. What does this plateau look like? Let them tell you their stories about a real Tibet...






Indian journalist: Tibet, dream destination
As a journalist based in Nepal, Sudeshna Sarkar was excited when the world's highest railway service connecting Beijing with Lhasa was inaugurated two years ago. "It was like a dream coming true," the Indian journalist said, "Tibet is a dream destination for Indians. Every year, thousands of Indian pilgrims brave high altitude sickness and the biting cold to undertake the parikrama of the sacred Kailash mountain in Tibet."

American naturalist's story of Tibetan antelopes
"Changes can be found everywhere in Tibet, in wildlife's population, in local culture, in people's mind and government policies," said Schaller, 76, the vice-president of the Science and Exploration Program at the International Wildlife Conservation Society.
"The Chinese government has taken effective action to fight poaching and saved large number of the animal.Most of their habitats have been listed national-protected area. It's really a great achievement China has made."

American hotel-runner: Tibetan ethnic culture continues developing Modernization doesn't mean globalization or Americanization; instead, to be itself is the main principle for Tibet's development by any means, said Laurence Brahm, an old China hand from the United States.
"I found such a small sustainable economic development pattern in China's western minority areas has contributed to protecting native ethnic cultures and helped local people tap new sources of income according to local conditions. It's worth learning for those living on both sides of the Himalayas."

French reporter: railway leads Tibet into modernization
Tibet has splendid landscapes, temples, Buddhist monks, the Potala Palace and the Himalayas which dominate the roof of the world... Now that people can reach Tibet by train, tourists have flocked there.
The Qinghai-Tibet Railway was a technical and humanistic feat. Thousands of people had to work against all odds and overcome many problems, including breaking through permafrost and working under intense sunlight. In order to protect the fragile eco system, viaducts cross over sensitive areas.

New York music fan: Rock with Tibetan Buddhist culture
Eric Crown, a music fanatic from New York, once made a trip to Tibet's capital of Lhasa in quest of creative inspirations. He exclaimed in delight that in Tibet, he discovered something more important than what he was pursuing- the remarkable hospitality of the Tibetan people.
Immersed in incenses fragrance and surrounded by devout prayers, the man seemed to be suddenly fired with a steady flow of music inspirations.

Nepali businessman: Tibet benefits from modernization "The local people have benefited from the modernization, which itself won't change the Tibetan ethnic culture. Foreigners are fond of Tibet's aged architectures and handicrafts. However, it doesn't mean that Tibetans should not improve their living standards while continuing to follow their traditions."
"China and Nepal are friendly neighbors. The Chinese people pay close attention to the interests of those Nepali who come to China for business, providing them with favorable treatment."  

Visitors share their experiences about Tibet
"Tibetans are very warm and loving. Each time I visited the school to meet the students, I was warmly greeted. They also presented me with Hada. It was this love of the students that encouraged me to make a trip to Tibet. And I made it."
"A trip to Tibet has always impressed Americans, but what attracted us most was the good services along the way provided to tourists."

"Tibet Diary": Tibet in American eyes
"I want to give some advice to people who visit Tibet: open your mind and cast aside your connatural concept on Tibet."
"I heard a Tibetan said that the help and financial assistance from the rest part of China to Tibet are indeed beneficial... I'm glad that such words could be heard directly from an ordinary Tibetan."

Frenchman living in Lhasa with French romance
"Welcome to our Happy Café to enjoy hot coffee, Lhasa beer..." Frenchman Fabrice greets everyone coming to his coffeehouse with a French-style hospitality.
When asked why not cooperate with others in running this café, the young man, pointing to his business license hung on the wall, said that he just wanted to tell others in this way that foreigners can also run their own businesses in this city.

Frenchman: Lhasa just like my hometown Annecy
"Tibet's capital of Lhasa is a leisure city, teeming with the flavor of life. Enjoying all kinds of convenience from its abundant living resources, I just feel at my hometown," French young man Emilien said with a smile.
All these high-tech achievements applied to people's daily life have striken a balance between economic development and environmental protection.
"It's really amazing!" he said.

Rumanian Ambassador: Right to education great progress in Tibet
What is worth special mentioning is that Tibet also has a university. Guaranteeing the local people's right to education has been an aspect of great progress in Tibet since the Democratic Reform.
Our Chinese friends asked us to visit any place as we liked, but not to disturb the worshippers. I was impressed by such care, which seemed to be a simple act but reflected great respect to religious belief and traditional customs.
Dutch scholar: People won't always be taken by Dalai's story
In recent years, with the bloom of the Tibetan ethnic culture, volumes of literatures have been published. And the Tibetan ethnic culture has been well preserved and passed on, Chen Shan Hwei, a Dutch-Chinese scholar,said in an interview with Xinhua.
Chen's husband Jan Willem Nienhuys said that reports in the western media "were written with an idea about the situatioin in Tibet and China which is quite different from reality."

Indian newspaper applauds China's democratic reform achievements in Tibet
The democratic reform in China's Tibet Autonomous Region abolished the theocratic system, did away with feudal serfdom and slavery, emancipated about a million serfs, and laid the basis for the modern development of the region as a part of the Chinese socialist system, an Indian newspaper said.
"History shows that resistance to anti-feudal reform was deeply entrenched in his ancient regime -- fusing the causes of separatism and the preservation of feudal serfdom and theocracy," said the editorial written by the newspaper's chief editor Narasimhan Ram.

Foreign media: serfs emancipation brings about great changes to Tibet
The website of the British paper The Times said in a story on the emancipation day that "It is an unsubtle message that Beijing rule has brought a prosperity and freedom unknown previously."
In a story, the Associate Press said that "Chinese rule has brought economic development, higher living standards and infrastructure to the remote Himalayan plateau where people traditionally eked out a living by farming and herding."

Russian reporter: Tibet's progress follows harmony notion "Tibet really has done a good job in development of modernization and protection of historical relics. In my opinion, this follows the concept of harmony." wrote Evgenij-Solovev, Beijing office head of Russian newspaper Russkiye Vedomosti.
"During my stay in Lhasa, I communicated with some locals. Those religious people talked freely, proving they enjoy full freedom of religion."

Russian reporter: Tibetans enjoy true religious freedom
"The Tibetan people were enjoying true freedom of religion after the abolishment of the feudal serfdom system." Vsevolod Ovchinnikov, a renowned Sinologist and chief reporter in China for former Soviet newspaper Pravda said in Moscow.
"I noticed, during my stay there, I, together with other foreign journalists, met Dalai Lama.When answering my questions, Dalai Lama expressed his gratitude to the Central People's Government for its protection of the freedom of religion in Tibet."

Former Mexican official: Wish Tibet better future!
"It seems to me that those who have never been to Tibet have no right to speak, for they don't know what Tibet really looks like; neither do they know all the efforts made by the Chinese Government for Tibet's construction and development. " Ismael Sergio Ley Lopez, the former Mexican Ambassador to China, said in Mexico City.
"A happy life can be found on people's faces as a result of economic integration of Tibet and the rest of China. From their smiles, I can read the happiness in their innermost hearts."


Foreigners asked to visit Tibet to experience traditional culture
Syroezhkin, chief researcher of the Presidential Strategy Institute of Kazakhstan, praised highly the protection of traditional Tibetan culture in Alma-Ata, capital of Kazakhstan.
"Influenced by the western media, I once doubted if the traditional culture had been well protected there. But now, what I want to say to all of you is that the Tibetan ethnic culture is in a good state of preservation. I hope those who really care about Tibet will be able to go there and solve the 'mystery' in their hearts."

Korean reporter: Trip to Tibet is unforgettable "In mid-September 2006, I flew from Beijing to Xining and then took a train to Lhasa, Tibet. This was an unforgettable trip that I had dreamed of for so long." "Lhasa has already been built into a modern city."
"I felt that Tibet has a stable society and the Han people and the Tibetans are living together harmoniously. Earth-shaking changes have taken place in Tibet over the past 50 years. Enjoying freedom of religious belief, the Tibetan people still preserve their religion and traditions."

Australian councilor: "Achievements for everyone to see"
"Tibet has made achievements in various fields," said Michael Johnson, Member of the Australian Parliament, in Canberra.
"Lhasa was so beautiful! Against the blue sky, white clouds and white snow, the Potala Palace appeared grand and majestic. With fragrant delicacies, bright-colored Tibetan dresses and Tibetan songs lingering in my ears, I was attracted to the unique charm of the Tibetan culture."

Foreigners get new view of Tibetan regions "What I saw here is quite different from what the Western media reported," said Mark Hiew, an Australian freelance writer, who visited a number of monasteries in Tibetan regions in 2007.
"When I was there, I was free to visit monasteries and local areas, and it didn't look to me like they were being outwardly oppressed at all. I saw stupas and prayer flags everywhere," he said.
Korean reporter: Lhasa's progress far beyond imagination
Lhasa's progress is far beyond imagination, Chang Sejeong, chief of Korea Central Daily's China Bureau, told People's Daily in Beijing.
"As a plateau city with an altitude of thousands of meters, Lhasa, though less developed than Beijing and Shanghai, has grown more rapidly than I expected. There, the cell phone signal is as good as in any inland city. You can surf the Internet smoothly and enjoy good sanitary conditions."

Brazilian scholar: Tibet sees notable progress since democratic reform
Tibet has achieved remarkable economic progress and undergone profound changes since 1959 when its democratic reform began, a Brazilian professor told Xinhua.
"There has been an accelerated growth in the tourism and infrastructure sectors in Tibet, as evidenced by the construction of Lhasa airport and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway," he said.

Tibet's biodiversity little known: U.S.-based Himalayan nature expert "Tibet has 40 percent of its land under conservation management, but its biodiversity and conservation successes are little known outside the region," said Robert Fleming, a Himalayan nature historian who works at the U.S.-based conservation group Future Generations.
"The Tibet Autonomous Region is one of the most innovative and successful conservation areas in the whole world -- certainly it is the leader for all of China with the most cost-effective approach."

Spanish Tibetologist: "What I see and hear in Tibet differs from Dalai Lama's propaganda"
"What I have seen and heard in Tibet completely differed from the distorted propaganda by the Dalai Lama," a renowned Spanish Tibetologist has said.
"I can speak Chinese and the Tibetan language and communicate well with the local people, so I can get first-hand materials about the region,"

French traveler: Tibetans are free, happy, sincere
Monmar Francis, a travel lover, still has a fresh memory of his Tibet visit. "Drive-travel in Tibet is impressive and miraculous, "
"I'm a man living on wheels to travel the world...And I think drive-travel in China's Tibet is the most impressive and miraculous."
"They are really free and happy!"

U.S. PhD student's romance with Tibet
A PhD Candidate of University of California-Los Angeles Heddabo Caiji told about her romance with Tibet in an interview by People's Daily in Los Angeles.
"After the performance, we kept in touch with each other and gradually I fell in love with this young Tibetan man...For the first time, I was able to have a close touch with the Tibetan culture."

Japanese reporter tells you a real Tibet
Japanese reporter Serita Shinichiro of Kyodo News Agency received an interview Monday by People's Daily about his journey to Tibet.
"For the first time I visited Tibet as a reporter. It's really a good opportunity to experience Tibet myself. In Lhasa, I was really fascinated by peaceful streets...It's evident that what painstaking efforts the Chinese government has made to eliminate the serfdom."

Russian reporter: "I read happiness in their life"
Maria Chaprytina of Russian News and Information Agency expressed her appreciation on Tibet's prosperity after a four-day visit. "How beautiful it is! Four days were too short for me to get an eyeful of the Tibet Autonomous Region."
"There is an interesting phenomenon that although the living standard in Lhasa is rising higher and higher, the local people still have the habit of saving money, never waste a penny at all. "

Swedish photographer: Ethnic culture in Tibet well preserved
Jan-Thomas Stake, a famous Swedish photographer, related his travel in Tibet when interviewed by the People's Daily in Sweden.
"When I zoomed in the Tibetans one after another, I could read such friendliness and placidity in their eyes...Many friends asked me about this trip. I told them Tibet is as beautiful as the paradise. It is a plateau of pure poetry with a long and unique culture and real happy life."

Leading Indian journalist checks reality in Tibet
A prominent Indian journalist rejected Tibetan independence "propaganda", saying the region's economic growth was good and atmosphere was "relaxed".
"Problems are largely in the minds of some sections abroad, 'make-believe Tibet', and the propaganda of the pro-independence movement of Dalai Lama," Narasimhan Ram, editor-in-chief of The Hindu, a leading English-language Indian daily, said.
Tibet in foreigner's eyes: from "propaganda" to "public relations"
China's move to arrange foreign reporters on a Tibet media tour shows its concept of foreign publicity has changed from one of "propaganda" to one of "public relations," according to a reporter of Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao.
"A Le Figaro reporter's birthday fell on the day. To his pleasant surprise, he received a birthday cake and a piece of hada -- a piece of silk presented to distinguished guests -- from the deputy secretary of TAR government."

Democratic reform: View Tibet with open vision A British visitor who asked to be anonymous said he has lived in China for eight years. He indicated his hopes that the western people, especially the young, should keep an open mind to learning about Tibet. "They should check the truth before they jump at a conclusion …"
"What they know about Tibet are but high mountains, blue skies… that's romantic, you know. The truth is under the complexity that you have to look into it."

Reporters witness great changes in Tibet A reporter from South Korea's SBS said "Seeing and hearing for myself changes that occurred to people living in here, I can tell local people's livelihood has been improving," he added.
A RAI reporter from Italy said: "Via introductions made by the Tibet Autonomous Regional Academy of Social Sciences, we have learned that the government has done a lot of research on the protection of Tibetan culture and has been working on it. That is a long and arduous task, but the government has done a really good job."

WORLD HARMONY ORGANIZATION SUPPORTS GLOBAL WATER MANAGEMENT BY SOLAR POWER

World Harmony Organization Supports Global Water Management by Solar Power


Dear Friends,

By popular demand from you, it is time World Harmony Organization turns to our task of Harmony with Nature and becomes Green. Harmony with Nature is essential and necessary for sustainable development and will herald Harmony Renaissance to lead mankind to the next wave of creative energy following European Renaissance.

World Harmony Organization was launched 2006 (attached) as a not for profit public benefit think tank (attached) with a mission to provide the theoretical support for a United Nations Harmony Culture. We are honored to have received the immediate support of many world leading figures. These include Noam Chomsky (America's conscience), James Fallows (Editor in Chief of "Atlantic Journal"), Hon. John Prescott (Deputy British PM and First Secretary), Eric Chipps (Chipps Management Consultant), and the Hon. Noel Brown (President of "Friends of United Nations"). Our publications were warmly received by world leading media including "Xinhua News" and "Foreign Affairs" journal.

In less than four years, WHO published 5 books and more than 100 essays in our registered domain WWW.SCRIBD.COM/FCWFUNG Harmony Renaissance, Harmony Diplomacy, Harmony Consensus, and 12 Virtues and Mystic Animals of Harmony Renaissance. Our essays and books are carried by Amazon and many major world news media websites. Our readership has reached millions and continues to grow. Among some of the important milestones that have made an impact on Harmony Renaissance are:

1) Harmony Renaissance theory that established harmony as a dynamic balance. Harmony is a universal common value. Renaissance is action. Together Harmony Renaissance bring life to Harmony.

2) Harmony Diplomacy theory that established Harmony as the golden rule for Global Governance.

3) Harmony Renaissance Song (attached) sung by World Harmony Singers at the 2008 United Nations, Staff Day Spring Festival.

4) Harmony Renaissance Preamble and Declaration speech (attached) at April 26, 2008 United Nations, Staff Day Spring Festival.

5) Harmony Renaissance 12 virtues and mystical animals animation announcement (attached)

With the above momentum, we are ready to turn to Harmony with Nature by your popular demand. We choose to devote our scientific team expertise on solar power to the worthwhile and imminent task of Global Water Management, starting with a California north to south water diversion and treatment project. (This will be part of the platform for Jerry Brown's 2010 Governor re-election campaign; (see attached Jerry Brown 2010 letter). To prepare for this important green task we need seed funding to start. Since the beginning, WHO has raised $46,000 by my own effort. Now it is time for the team to join in to raise additional essential funding for our commitment and undertaking. With your help, we will form a consortium of U.S. solar companies to do a pilot solar power-water management project with DOE as observer (see attached call for feasibility document). Your support and contribution in funds, time and effort will be most appreciated. Thank you for your vision and consideration.

INTRODUCTION TO WORLD HARMONY RENAISSANCE

INTRODUCTION TO WORLD HARMONY RENAISSANCE


I am honored by your appreciation of the importance of Harmony Renaissance. Harmony is the universal truth. It is mankind's highest common aspiration; it is the natural law of physics; it is nature's preferred way of propagation; it is the underlying operating principle of the universe. Without harmony the universe would not be eternal, it would have self destructed. On this earth, mankind, nature and all species are governed by this law of dynamic balance. This universal harmony truth was announced to the United Nations on April 26, 2008 in my World Harmony Renaissance Declaration as the underlying U.N. Harmony Culture. It was supported overwhelmingly by many U.N. accredited NGOs including "Friends of United Nations".

I am attaching for your review "Praise for World Harmony Renaissance" listing quotes from world renown literary giants no less than Noam Chomsky, James Fallows and Hon. John Prescott. Without being immodest, my first book "China's Harmony Renaissance: What the World Must Know" has been read by millions on the web. It was also announced twice by the leading world affairs journal "Foreign Affairs", once in March/April 2007 and once in May/June 2007.

Harmony belongs to the world. Renaissance is revitalization. Together Harmony Renaissance will liberate mankind from ideology struggles and religious strife. It will release the next wave of human creative energy that mankind is waiting, necessary for continuing scientific development beyond European Renaissance, which brought us democracy and modern science as we know today.

PRAISE FOR CHINA’S HARMONY RENAISSANCE

PRAISE FOR FRANCIS C W FUNG, CHINA’S HARMONY RENAISSANCE
Excerpt from Jan 2007 speech by Hon. John Prescott, Deputy Prime Minister and First Secretary of State, United Kingdom:There's been a great deal of talk about harmony in recent times. In fact, the academic, Francis Fung, has argued in his recent paper "Chinese Harmony Culture: Old and New - Promise for a Less Confrontational World" that China is witnessing a harmony renaissance. He claims that great debates are happening today in China over whether Socialism with Chinese characteristics can be Socialism with harmony. And Fung maintains that China's harmony socialism will provide an alternative model, as the leading system of governance in the 21st Century.
Morgan Steacy, York University, Department of East Asian Studies, Canada I have been reading professor Fung's letters and articles on harmony renaissance, and have become completely enraptured by the hope of future possibility that they bring. My main area of study lies squarely within Dr. Fung’s realm of thought insofar as ascertaining the facets of Chinese thought that may be able to ameliorate the social situation of my country and the world at large. I am certain that I would be able to contribute to your organization with great success.
Peter Neumann, Partner Faegre Benson, Shanghai, China
It is wonderful to see the concept of a "harmony" paradigm being promoted in the media. So much of Western cultural history has been based on a conflict paradigm (crusades, competition for scarce resources, clash of civilizations, political struggle, etc.). It is extremely important to open people's minds to unity, universal love and harmony as governing principles of society, the world and the universe.
Eric Chipps, Chipps Management Consultants, San Francisco, CA, USAIn today’s world of international conflicts, religious strife, North and South disparities, terrorism, extremism and unilateralism, harmony renaissance is the only common value universal solution. The tide of Harmony Renaissance is inevitable. All present will become pioneers of Harmony Renaissance. Harmony advocates non-violence. Its’ premises are tolerance, acceptance, respect, equity, patience and humility. As powerful as we are we will not have nobility and hope unless we practice humility. This is the new global awareness. Harmony is the conduit to facilitate multi-directional cultural flow not just from West to East and North to South. Harmony is the all-embracing unifying force for unity in diversity.Dr. Fung has initiated the World Harmony Organization in North America and has already attracted interest and support. It is a growing influence in North America, Europe and China from important figures in academic and social circles, economics and politics, as well as a growing number of concerned citizens in many countries.

奖品将是一座和谐复兴门楼的立体雕像。本质上,人类经神圣的生门来到这个地球。和谐复兴门楼象征着人类将在廿一世纪步入和谐世界。和谐复兴门楼的最后设计,将从世界各地提交的样稿选定。目前,我们设想以高科技设计一个寓意和谐,颂扬12个和谐美德的生动模型。欢迎国际杰出艺术家提供意见,参与设计,共襄盛举。如蒙惠赐,请电邮到设想到 contact@www.worldharmonyorg.net

GLOBAL HARMONY AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT

GLOBAL HARMONY AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT

World Harmony Organization proudly announces our Global Harmony Award (GHA). The award will be conferred to a distinguished world citizen who has made significant contributions to world harmony for the year. Harmony is the order of nature. Harmony is the operating principle of the Universe. The universe cannot be eternal without harmony. There is no higher order of unity to unite mankind under one faith. Harmony Renaissance is the inevitable tide that will unite all mankind under the banner of unity in diversity.

Our Award Review Committee will base our selection criteria on the Twelve Harmony Renaissance Virtues. They are: TOLERANCE, ACCEPTANCE, RESPECT, KINDNESS, FORGIVENESS, HUMILITY, GENTLENESS, PATIENCE, EQUITY, NONVIOLENCE, GREEN ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION. The award will be given every year beginning 2008.

World Harmony Organization (WHO) will initiate the Global Harmony Award this year. We welcome that U.N. will take over as agreed and carry on the Global Harmony Award tradition to the future. In subsequent years we will initiate Global Harmony Literature, Visual Arts and Music Awards. The Global Harmony Award will remain the crown jewel award of the highest Harmony Renaissance Honor.

The award statue will take the shape of a Harmony Renaissance (HR) Gate. By nature, human come to this earth through our own sacred birth gate. This HR Gate symbolizes that mankind will enter the World of Harmony in 21st Century. The final design of the HR Gate will be selected from worldwide submissions. Currently we envision a high tech design that will extol the Twelve Harmony Virtues in a lively and meaningful manner. We welcome design submissions by distinguished international artists. Kindly submit your design to contact@www.worldharmonyorg.net

HARMONY RENAISSANCE SONG
HARMONY RENAISSANCE

Lyrics: Francis C W Fung. Music: Terry J. Rucker

Yin and Yang in Dynamic balance creates...Harmony.

Ultimately, yin contains yang,

Ultimately, Soft overcomes hard,

Ultimately, gentle triumphs over violence.

Ultimately harmony will surely come.

I wish the world would respect, different cultures,

I wish the world would accept, diverse ideologies,

I wish the world would respect, different beliefs,

I wish the world could sing in perfect harmony.

Gentle people prefer harmony over conformity.

Petty people prefer, conformity over harmony.

The sea accepts hundreds of rivers,

It can only grow if it contains.

Unity in diversity, Harmony Renaissance for World Harmony
