[00:00.50]易考范文三十四

[00:03.61]In the picture, we can see a long list of names

[00:09.24]on the charting of the wealthy,

[00:11.08]while still many a person is waiting eagerly

[00:14.11]for his name to appear on it. By contrast,

[00:17.14]the donation charting has few supporters.

[00:19.94]The picture vividly 1 mirrors a phenomenon

[00:22.71]that some rich men lack the sense of social responsibility

[00:26.60]and contribute little care and love to those who are helpless.

[00:30.50]Thanks to the opening and reform policy,

[00:33.43]a great many people in China accumulate a huge amount of money

[00:37.92]and thus lead a well-off, even luxurious 2 life.

[00:41.68]But they don't show beneficence as they show off

[00:45.26]their magnificent mansions 3 and expensive cars.

[00:48.12]In stark 4 contrast with some stingy multimillionaire,

[00:52.59]many rich people are devoted 5 to help the less fortunate.

[00:56.16]A case in point is Bill Gates,

[00:59.16]the wealthiest person in the world,

[01:01.60]announced that he planned to give all his fortune,

[01:05.39]$58 billion in total, to charity.

[01:08.82]There is no doubt that Gates has set a good example

[01:12.56]for those “iron-roosters”,

[01:14.80]who have nothing but money alone.

[01:17.09]It is necessary for the affluent 6

[01:19.83]to raise awareness 7 of responsibility

[01:21.95]and obligation to the nation and the community,

[01:25.35]from which they amass 8 their wealth.

[01:27.54]Or they can bear in mind what Confucius said,

[01:31.10]“treat the parents of others the way

[01:33.88]you treat your own and love the children

[01:36.48]of others the way you love your own”.
