Happy Double Ten Day!

Heute, am 10.10., ist Double Ten Day.
"Today, the 97th National Day of the Republic of China, we celebrate the founding of our nation with joyful hearts. At the same time, we must also be prepared to resolutely face the formidable challenges posed by global economic events and set long-term goals for our nation's development. Only then can we fashion a vision for our future."

"The courageous see crises as challenges and opportunities for transformation. Over its 97-year history, the Republic of China has prevailed against difficulties much more formidable than the ones we face today, yet here we stand tall, having created an economic miracle in Asia and established a model democracy. Today, we find ourselves at a turning point in history. Let us, then, strive as one, with unbounded courage and wisdom, to meet challenges, ride out storms, and together ensure better lives for our descendents and peace for all.

In closing, let me wish our nation great success and prosperity!

And may all of us be blessed with health, peace, and happiness!"

"we celebrate the founding of our nation" Wie kann man bitte eine Nation gründen? Eine Nation kann wachsen, enstehen oder zu Grunde gehen aber man kann so etwas doch nicht einfach "gründen". Merke: Staat ungleich Nation!
Wie auch immer, heute kann es regnen, stürmen oder schnein... :D
