made you choose the hardest path
for yourself.
Do you know what's hardest for me?
Your dignity.
Your privacy.
I know these things are...
more precious than life itself
to an intellectual.
Am I right?
The new China has only been
established for 5 years,
and there's so much to rebuild.
Some things
we haven't done well,
and some cadres have been insensitive.
These are objective facts.
But overall,
the new China is making good progress—
it's positive and upbeat.
So,
you need to be more optimistic,
alright?
For those of you doing great things,
the times and history
may allow you to make mistakes.
No mistakes should be allowed.
We must avoid them as best we can.
I heard from Fu Zihe
that thanks to your persistence,
made you choose the hardest path
for yourself.
