Harry S.
Truman: The Truman Doctrine Mr.President, Mr.Speaker, Members of the Congress of the United States: The gravity of the situation which confronts the world today necessitates my appearance before a joint session of the Congress.
The foreign policy and the national security of this country are involved.
One aspect of the present situation, which I present to you at this time for your consideration and decision, concerns Greece and Turkey.
The United States has received from the Greek Government an urgent appeal for financial and economic assistance.
Preliminary reports from the American Economic Mission now in Greece and reports from the American Ambassador in Greece corroborate the statement of the Greek Government that assistance is imperative if Greece is to survive as a free nation.
I do not believe that the American people and the Congress wish to turn a deaf ear to the appeal of the Greek Government.
Greece is not a rich country.
Lack of sufficient natural resources has always forced the Greek people to work hard to make both ends meet.
Since 1940, this industrious, peace loving country has suffered invasion, four years of cruel enemy occupation, and bitter internal strife.
When forces of liberation entered Greece they found that the retreating Germans had destroyed virtually all the railways, roads, port facilities, communications, and merchant marine.
More than a thousand villages had been burned.
Eighty-five per cent of the children were tubercular.
Livestock, poultry, and draft animals had almost disappeared.
Inflation had wiped out practically all savings.
As a result of these tragic conditions, a militant minority, exploiting human want and misery, was able to create political chaos which, until now, has made economic recovery impossible.
Greece is today without funds to finance the importation of those goods which are essential to bare subsistence.
Under these circumstances, the people of Greece cannot make progress in solving their problems of reconstruction.
Greece is in desperate need of financial and economic assistance to enable it to resume purchases of food, clothing, fuel, and seeds.
These are indispensable for the subsistence of its people and are obtainable only from abroad.
Greece must have help to import the goods necessary to restore internal order and security, so essential for economic and political recovery.
The Greek Government has also asked for the assistance of experienced American administrators, economists, and technicians to insure that the financial and other aid given to Greece shall be used effectively in creating a stable and self-sustaining economy and in improving its public administration.

Mr. Speaker, members of the 77th Congress:
I address you, the members of this new Congress, at a moment unprecedented in the history of the union. I use the word “unprecedented” because at no previous time has American security been as seriously threatened from without as it is today.
Since the permanent formation of our government under the Constitution in 1789, most of the periods of crisis in our history have related to our domestic affairs. And, fortunately, only one of these-the four-year war between the States-ever threatened our national unity. Today, thank God, 130,000,000 Americans in forty-eight States have forgotten points of the compass in our national unity.
It is true that prior to 1914 the United States often has been disturbed by events in other continents. We have even engaged in two wars with European nations and in a number of undeclared wars in the West Indies, in the Mediterranean and in the Pacific, for the maintenance of American rights and for the Principles of peaceful commerce. But in no case has a serious threat been raised against our national safety or our continued independence.
What I seek to convey is the historic truth that the United States as a nation has at all times maintained opposition-clear, definite opposition-to any attempt to lock us in behind an ancient Chinese wall while the procession of civilization went past. Today, thinking of our children and of their children, we oppose enforced isolation for ourselves or for any other part of the Americas.
That determination of ours, extending over all these years, was proved, for example, in the early days during the quarter century of wars following the French Revolution. While the Napoleonic struggle did threaten interests of the United States because of the French foothold in the West Indies and in Louisiana, and while we engaged in the War of 1812 to vindicate our right to peaceful trade, it is nevertheless clear that neither France nor Great Britain nor any other nation was aiming at domination of the whole world.
And in like fashion, from 1815 to 1914-ninety-nine years-no single war in Europe or in Asia constituted a real threat against our future or against the future of any other American nation.
Except in the Maximilian interlude in Mexico, no foreign power sought to establish itself in this hemisphere. And friendly strength; it is still a friendly strength.
Even when the World War broke out in 1914 it seemed to contain only small threat of danger to our own American future. But as time went on, as we remember, the American people began to visualize what the downfall of democratic nations might mean to our own democracy.
We need not overemphasize imperfections in the peace of Versailles. We need not harp on failure of the democracies to deal with problems of world reconstruction. We should remember that the peace of 1919 was far less unjust than the kind of pacification which began even before Munich, and which is being carried on under the new order of tyranny that seeks to spread over every continent today.
The American people have unalterably set their faces against that tyranny.
I suppose that every realist knows that the democratic way of life is at this moment being directly assailed in every part of the world-assailed either by arms or by secret spreading of poisonous propaganda by those who seek to destroy unity and promote discord in nations that are still at peace.
During sixteen long months this assault has blotted out the whole pattern of democratic life in an appalling number of independent nations, great and small. And the assailants are still on the march, threatening other nations, great and small.
Therefore, as your President, performing my constitutional duty to “give to the Congress information of the state of the union,” I find it unhappily necessary to report that the future and the safety of our country and of our democracy are overwhelmingly involved in events far beyond our borders.
Armed defense of democratic existence is now being gallantly waged in four continents. If that defense fails, all the population and all the resources of Europe and Asia, Africa and Australia will be dominated by conquerors. And let us remember that the total of those populations in those four continents, the total of those populations and their resources greatly exceeds the sum total of the population and the resources of the whole of the Western Hemisphere-yes, many times over.
In times like these it is immature- and, incidentally, untrue-for anybody to brag that an unprepared America, single-handed and with one hand tied behind its back, can hold off the whole world.
No realistic American can expect from a dictator’s peace international generosity, or return of true independence, or world disarmament, or freedom of expression, or freedom of religion-or even good business. Such a peace would bring no security for us or for our neighbors. Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

with more and more cars coming into our families，we are happy that it has greatly improved our life. but unluckily，it has also brought many problems，such as heavy traffic and traffic accidents.
traffic safety is everybody's business. we must obey the rules. for example，we must walk on walk side，when we cross zebra – crossing，stop and look right and left，then go across fast. don't play football on the road .we can tell our parents not to drink before they drive，not to run through red lights，not to talk and laugh while driving etc.
we can say cars are coming into our life，but only when everybody thinks traffic safety is everybody's business can we be safe driving on roads and walking on sidewalks.

The slogans are shouting over and over again, the life is still continuing, the extravagant story is still spreading, what is the root of the evil, what we should do in the end, and we continue to discuss, and I have some of my own views and cognition.
The slogan is shouting, but it is not loud enough and the slogan is profound, but it is not enough to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The slogan is hardly seen in the corner of the people. The story of saving is seldom happening. It is inevitable and can be imagined. It is not enough to move the heart of the people, and it is not easy to be seen by people. Here, this is the sadness of our propaganda work!
The big word banner is not noticed. It is not frugal to publicize slogans like the tortoise just born. Do you need to be thrifty in this area? This is frugal. Will other extravagance and waste attract others attention? Will there be a thrifty story? Our leaders have already dared to drink more than 10000 yuan of Moutai to hide in the corner to sing the national anthem. Do our ordinary people still not know thrift? Its nothing for a person to be thrifty, but we have hundreds of millions of people going together, who can stop it, we can enjoy this kind of life really happy, some places can not even afford to eat. Compared with them, we have no doubt that we are happy, but how many people are sighing under happiness? Do we care about that food or something? Thats the harvest of autumn, the result of the starvation of the farmer.
Hope to arouse the attention of the society! Thrift and frugality come along the virtue of our Chinese nation!

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. It’s great to be here. First of all, thanks for your coming. Tonight, what I am gonna talk about is innovation. Who can tell me what is innovation? We all know that, since 1978, China has been through the greatest changes brought by the reform and opening-up. So what we can see from the reform and opening-up? The power of innovation. That’s why I am here. I am here to show you my Chinese dream.
I want to talk about the future and how we're going to win it. If we want to make innovation. But firstly, we should make sure that China is a place where we can make it if we try, where we can go as far as hard work and big dreams will take us. We understand that it’s not going to be a cakewalk, this competition for the future, which means all of us are going to have to do our best. We are going to have to win the future by being smarter and working harder and working together. Innovation is the spirit of our country, the motive force for our country’s prosperity.

Dear teachers and students：
hello everyone!
Dream is ideal, ideal is desire. I think dreams are the purest, most beautiful, most lovely and most appreciated thing in people's hearts. In this way, my dream also has unlimited value, so my task is to pursue and realize the purest thing in my heart.
My dream is to help others and make them happy. This dream is really small. Compared with other people's police and doctors, it is just a small sand submerged in the desert. But I am willing to be a volunteer. As the saying goes: help others and be happy yourself. After all, through my unremitting efforts, my sand will slowly converge and become a desert larger than the Sahara desert.
Of course, dreams are like this. Let people strive to pursue them, whether they are big or small. My dream is so small, small and insignificant, but it makes me full of blood, pursue it all the time, and make me eager to realize it. Maybe that's the dream.
I am keen to pursue my dreams. Although I have encountered many difficulties on the way to pursue my dreams, as long as I actively deal with them, what can't be resolved?
Let's sing the poem of He Qifang: I am full of ideals and desires for life. With this attitude to meet the future, success may be waving to you.
Thank you!

Our country many cities have produced fog, the visibility is very low, so this time the traffic accident rate increases, we haven"t got the security guarantee.
Today, my home is also suffered heavy fog, the window of white, what also can"t see. My home is fog, the air quality is greatly decreased, in order to prevent the body health must wear a face mask to go out.
Today I walk on my way to school, the hateful haze let I almost hit against the tree. Pedestrians in a hurry to walk, large and small are wearing masks. Car kept honking, like to the accompaniment of dust, mist in the headlights, fog haze of dust in the dancing joyfully, from automobile exhaust vent curling into the sky, more than a piece of tail gas, is more than a haze, our safety is more dangerous.
Sky is not blue, trees are not green, white cloud is away, the culprit is the human oneself! Human ah! Return the previous green homes to us!
