Speech
of Dr. Hong at Oct. 21
The "Love of the World, Peace Cultural Goodwill
Group" which I am leading, is visiting Egypt for a period of two
weeks. This goodwill visit symbolizes amity, love and peace. We are
very glad to have this opportunity to share with this beautiful country
and friends of Egypt the beauty of traditional culture and the essence
of ancient Chinese culture with the philosophy of yin and yang. We have
brought you the wishes from our country, hoping that, through people-to-people
and heart-to-heart communication, to promote friendship of the people
of the two countries.
Culture, the crystallization of wisdom of our ancestor, serves as a
communication bridge that connects people and countries, and it crosses
ethnic, national, language, and religious boundaries. International
cultural exchange is not only a trend but also an avenue to international
cooperation and world peace. The Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy exhibits
rich ancient cultural heritage in its modern art performances. Through
these performances, we hope to shorten the distance between people,
to inspire the origin of world love and in turn to attain our goal,
world peace.
The "Love of the World, Peace Cultural Goodwill Group" has
brought with it the Bell of Peace. We hope the sound of the Bell will
awaken people's wish for peace and may people be filled with world love
and strive to build a better world for all humanity.
It is indeed a rare opportunity that we get together here. We would
like to share with you the essence of Chinese culture. I believe that
it will leave you with an unforgettable memory. I wish you success and
good health. Thank you.
