10 painful lessons for the world from this sadst Qingming Festival!

Lesson one: Bureaucracy is a widespread phenomenon. 　　It must be admitted that the pandemic is a mirror that reveals truths. When Wuhan was tragically locked down, the rest of the world was still calm, with only sporadic cases in Europe and the United States. Everyone **thought they had done enough, but it turned out that they were mostly just talking without taking action. Otherwise, there would be no tragedies in Italy, no sorrow in Spain, and no chaos in the United States. We must admit that bureaucracy and formalism, regardless of whether they occur in the West or the East or in what kind of system, are a universal phenomenon worldwide. For so-called achievements and to create an illusion of peace, some politicians delay things as long as they can ； In some **, even testing requires approval on a queue. But the consequence of delay is the spread of the epidemic. Bureaucracy and formalism really kill people.

Lesson one: Bureaucracy is a universal phenomenon. 　　It must be admitted that the pandemic is a mirror that reveals truths. When Wuhan was tragically locked down, the world was still peaceful, with only sporadic cases in Europe and America. Every ZF thought it was doing enough, but it turned out that they were mostly just talking without taking action. Otherwise, there would be no tragedies in Italy, no sorrow in Spain, and no chaos in the United States. We must admit that GL-ism and formalism, regardless of East or West or institutional context, are a widespread phenomenon around the world. To cover up the truth, some politicians delay things as long as they can ； In some **, even testing requires approval on a queue. But the consequence of delay is the spread of the epidemic. GL-ism, formalism – they really are deadly.

Lesson two: Ignorance is not an obstacle to survival; arrogance is. 　　The most typical example is masks. All Chinese people wear masks, while many in the West mock them. In the West, where masks were invented, wearing masks seems to have become a matter of principle. It is shameful to wear a mask, while it is proud to not wear one. The most science-oriented Western countries, after the loss of countless lives and the spread of massive epidemics, finally realized the importance of masks. Americans now also need to wear masks; if they don’t have masks, scarves will do. Ignorance is not an obstacle to survival; arrogance is. Ignoring science and being arrogant – all of this comes at a price in blood!

Lesson three: Only drastic measures can truly reflect a Bodhisattva’s heart! 　　Really, it’s hard for us to imagine what would have happened to the epidemic in China if Wuhan had not been locked down so decisively What would have been the outcome of the epidemic in Wuhan if Leishenshan and Huoshenshan Hospitals had not been built so rapidly? If 40,000 medical workers had not generously gone to Hubei, could the province have weathered this crisis? Every decision affects the fate and even the life and death of countless people; yet in times of crisis, drastic measures are necessary to show compassion China’s first half was thrilling; we could see it very clearly ； The second half of the world is more thrilling, and we can see it more clearly. A incompetent general can truly exhaust an entire army.

Lesson four: Development is the ultimate key! 　　It’s truly unimaginable what kind of disaster such a long period of **stagnation** would have been for our economy without 40 years of development through reform and opening up In India, Modi was forced to impose lockdowns; one of the key reasons for this was India’s weak infrastructure. Should an epidemic break out on a large scale, there would inevitably be a strain on medical resources, leading to tragedies of unimaginable proportions. Therefore, \"if India fails to manage these 21 days properly, it will regress by 21 years.\" When the pandemic struck, the most unfortunate were those who were the weakest**. Therefore, development is the key; without it, nothing else can be considered.

Lesson five: Viruses don’t care about politics either. 　　In response to the slander by some French politicians, the Chinese embassy in France published an article stating that some people are actually envious of China’s achievements in governance, jealous of the effectiveness of China’s system, and resentful that they are not able to outperform China Thus, they deliberately label China as \"authoritarian,\" arguing that no matter how well China performs in various areas, it is not worth emulating. But the measure of isolation has proven to be the most effective way to stop the spread of the virus; whether it’s a \"dictatorial\" approach or not, it can be used regardless. As Mr. Deng Xiaoping said, whether it’s a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch mice, it’s a good cat. Viruses don’t care about politics either. Yes, viruses don’t care about politics – what a painful lesson!

Revelation 6: There is no time of peace; someone is always carrying a burden as they move forward. 　　I don’t want to say more about it; there are too many heart-wrenching stories. During the defense of Wuhan, many medical workers stepped forward without seeking compensation, regardless of life or death! What is a national hero? This is a national hero. Since ancient times, there have been those who work hard without complaint, and those who fight for the people’s interests – they are the backbone of China! Such a backbone can be found not only in China. In many places, retired doctors return to the battlefield, and elderly people willingly give up their ventilators… People’s hearts are connected; kind-hearted individuals always shine with the light of humanity. Today, we must especially remember those who gave their lives for it.

Revelation 7: There are always fools who fall into the same pond twice. 　　The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that one cannot fall into the same river twice ； There is a British proverb that says a fox cannot be caught in the same trap twice. But according to Murphy’s Law, as long as there is a way of choosing that leads to disaster, someone will definitely make that choice. This is a cruel world; I don’t want to say more—the lesson is far too painful. Without profound reflection, we will inevitably fall into the river again and again. As the Turkish proverb goes, only a fool falls into the same pond twice. Aren’t there many such fools around us? They also often think they are the smartest.

Revelation 8: Final success depends on the worst one. 　　The whole world is working to control the pandemic, with many countries imposing lockdowns. To be honest, it is impossible to completely eradicate the virus. According to some experts, the ultimate goal of virus transmission is not to eliminate humanity, but to coexist with it. Perhaps, in the end, it is the real winner, bothering humans from time to time. To truly control the epidemic, it does not depend on those who do their best, but on the worst among them. From this perspective, it truly is a community with a shared future for mankind ； Therefore, the United States must also step up its efforts; if the U.S. fails, the whole world will suffer as well.

Enlightenment 9: Cruelty is the pass for those who are cruel; nobility is the epitaph of those who are noble. 　　It’s an interesting phenomenon: among those who performed worst, the approval ratings of their leaders have not declined recently; on the contrary, they have all increased. This is also known as the “flag-gathering effect”: in times of crisis, leaders become more visible, and fearful people have no choice but to trust them. But it must be said that in this world, the more one manipulates populism, the more popular such behavior tends to become ； The more upright and honest one is, the more they are ostracized and slandered. Cruelty is the pass for the cruel; virtue is the epitaph for the noble. Look, in that gilded sky, there are countless curved reflections of the dead……
