I have an impression that in one of my former existences I was born and brought up in the United States.

In saying this I do not express the slightest regrets at having now been born in Asia.

I only wish to give a hint to those white people who advocate an exclusive policy that in their next life they may be born in Asia or Africa, and that the injury they are now inflicting on the yellow people they may themselves have to suffer in another life.
While admitting that we Chinese have our faults and that in some matters we have much to learn, especially from the Americans, we at least possess one moral quality, magnanimity, while the primal virtues of industry, economy, obedience, and love of peace, combined with a "moderation in all things", are also common among us.

Our people have frequently been slighted or ill-treated but we entertain no revengeful spirit, and are willing to forget.

We believe that in the end right will conquer might.
