The American national anthem is beautiful and lyrical, and every time I hear it, I feel like crying. On the other hand, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," which was born during the Civil War, is profound and powerful, and it fills people with high spirits. A great nation that can produce such musical works will not decline for a while. As long as the whole world is still listening to American music, America will not decline.
I don't think that openly discussing the rights of LGBDQ sexual minorities in American society is a sign of decline and chaos. On the contrary, I am proud that such open discussions take place in America. The American concept is a constantly evolving one.
People outside of America can discuss whether America is declining, but the responsibility of Americans is to ensure that America becomes stronger and works with its allies to maintain international order. The American concept is a beacon for the West, and it is the responsibility of Americans to ensure that this beacon continues to operate properly for the world. America is pragmatic and does not indulge in empty talk. The existing world order was established after World War II. To change this pattern, there would have to be a third world war. Those who are anti-American do not realize that the highest level of criticism against the US government comes from Americans themselves. At any given moment, about half of Americans are criticizing their own government. This is America's strength, not its weakness.
translate and tide up: 我不认为美国社会公开讨论性少数权益是美国衰落和混乱的标志。相反,我为美国有这样的公开讨论而自豪。美国概念,是一个不断改进的概念。 美国以外的人可以谈论美国是否衰落,而美国人的责任是确保美国更加强大,跟盟友一道维护国际秩序。美国概念是西方的灯塔,保持灯塔正常运转,是美国人对世界的责任。美国是务实的,不尚空谈。现有的世界秩序,是通过第二次世界大战建立的。要改变这一格局,只有经过第三次世界大战。反美的人不知道,在反美业,水平最高的,还数美国人。每时每刻,都有一半左右的美国人在批评他们的政府。这是美国的优势,不是弱点。
