Comment on "China to protect patients of work-related diseases" (China Daily, Nov 4)

Every time I read Chinese news I kind of see China somehow moving their country in the right direction. I hope this is the truth, and not only a gold cover on rotten fish. Not that I am pessimistic about the efforts of the Chinese government.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish that it is done and doing accordingly. I always remember Qin Shihuang's right hand person, who says, "A chance only comes once in every 10,000 years. If we miss it this time it will not be for another 10,000 years." This is what China should think about. China has been given a second chance by the world and if China misses it this time, it will be shameful for Chinese people in China and Chinese around the world, and all Chinese ancestors. Good luck to China. Do the right thing. And you will see your country prosperous like the poplar trees that last thousands of years. And one day the Western part of the world will say that what Napoleon Bonaparte said was right. "Let China sleep, for when it wakes, it will shake the world." I mean this in a good way, that China will be the leader in a peaceful, prosperous China and the world, to replace the hegemony of the USA and Western world. I may be a dreamer, but I am not the only Chinese and overseas Chinese.
