Original title: the queen of England delivers a Christmas message praising the young generation for their sense of environmental responsibility
Www.sihai.com at 3:00 p.m. local time on December 25, British Queen Elizabeth II delivered a Christmas speech in 2019. Looking back on 2019, she felt very "bumpy" and hoped that people would bridge their differences step by step, trust and reconcile.
At the beginning of her speech, the 93 year old queen mentioned two important anniversaries of this year, namely, the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and the 75th anniversary of Normandy landing. She said: 'when I was a child, I never thought that one day humans could walk on the moon. "We have witnessed Neil Armstrong take a small personal step, a big step for mankind. This reminds us all that great progress usually starts in small steps. '
Looking back on the Normandy landing, Elizabeth II said: 'I always remember my father's anxious look. "She said that the former enemy has now put down their hatred," but reconciliation is not achieved overnight. It requires patience and time to rebuild confidence. Progress comes from the accumulation of each small step. '
The queen pointed out that the challenges facing people today are different from those of their generation, surprised by the 'sense of mission shown by the younger generation in environmental protection and response to climate change'.
In May, the son of Prince Harry and Princess Megan was born, named Archie & middot; Harrison & Middleton Windsor. The queen said: 'Philip and I are happy to welcome the eighth great grandson into our family. "Of course, the central meaning of the Christmas story is the birth of a child. '
'the road is not always so smooth. It may be quite bumpy this year, but every small step will change the world. "Small steps of confidence and hope can overcome long-standing, deep-rooted differences and bring about harmony and understanding. '
At the end of the speech, Queen Elizabeth II stressed once again that people should abandon their differences in the past and come together in a spirit of friendship and reconciliation, so that good things can happen.
