Han Hong, a well-known singer and public figure, recently made a statement about international disaster relief.
She made it clear that no matter what disaster happened internationally, she would not go to Africa to rescue refugees, because she was first and foremost a Chinese and should take care of her compatriots first.
This view has generated widespread attention and discussion, with supporters and critics alike. However, I think that Han Hong's remarks are not denying the importance of helping others, but emphasizing that we should focus on our own affairs first, and then help others.
What we cannot ignore is that everyone has their own life and problems to solve.
Of course, this is not to say that we should be indifferent to the difficulties of others.
Instead, we should do what we can to help those who really need it. However, we should understand that this help is not unconditional, but should be carried out within our own ability.
As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "We must accept disappointment because it is inevitable." But we must not lose our boundless hope. "Likewise, we should understand that our actions should be based on our own abilities and the responsibilities of society. Only in this way can we truly contribute to society and truly realize our self-worth.
