More than 20 years after the Portuguese government abandoned the last overseas colony, more than 20 years in Macau, on April 25, local time, Portuguese President Desa Saisa visited the Brazilian President at the "Four? Two and Five Revolution" commemorative conferences at the parliament.Lula's face said that the colonial rule sacrificed many interests of Brazil and Brazilians. Portugal needed to exploit the colonial aborigines and apologies to slavery during the colonial period, and should "bear responsibility."
At the end of the 15th century, Portugal relied on its superior geographical location and developed maritime shipping to establish colonies around the world to build the first world -kimonal empire in human history.During the heyday, Portugal's territory covers an area of more than 10 million square kilometers. It is the longest colonial empire in Europe, Africa, Asia, and America.From CEUTA, the northernmost part of Magridge, the northernmost part of Magridge in Africa, to China in 1999, the last colonial Macau returned to China, and Portugal's colonial history was nearly 600 years.
For Portugal, "apology" 600 years later is certainly not "late justice".Because as early as 1974, Portugal announced the implementation of non -colonization policies after the outbreak of the "Four? Two and Five Revolutions", which was known as the Carnival Revolution, abandoned the colonies overseas, and after supporting Angola and Mozanbik independence, it was acknowledged that Macau was it wasThe Chinese territory was not the colonies of Portugal, and the Portuguese Army in Australia was removed.However, the statement of "apology" and the "responsibility" statement of Disaza, but with full sincerity, to the world full of suspicion, disputes, frictions, and even swords.To the power of goodwill.
In fact, the relationship between the country and the country is the unity of contradictions and harmony, conflict and reconciliation.There are no disputes between the fantasy country and the national, national and national alliances, and the national alliance, and it must be a utopian imagination.In a successful marriage, smart couples do not expect the polite relationship between respecting each other, and there is no hope of "never red face" when bumping into pots and pans.Appropriate tolerance, understanding and necessary compromise, forbearance, in exchange for silver marriage, golden marriage, and even diamond marriage.The complexity of the relationship between the country is certainly not as good as the marriage of the two sons, but maintaining the at least sincerity is to maintain harmony and get along with the bridge that Hua Gan Ge is a jade.
Willy Brandt, the former Prime Minister of West Germany, can win the Nobel Peace Prize. In addition to the New Oriental Policy that is vigorously promoted during the period of administrationIt is an important reason for the demonstration and concept provided by the resolution of international contradictions in the future.The well -known Italian journalist, Oriana Fallaci, who won the Saint Vincent News Award twice.Fear, on the contrary, it makes other countries envy. "Especially when Brandt visited Poland in 1970, the" kneeling of Warsaw "in front of the Jewish monument was praised as a pioneer of mitigating climate at that time.West Germany, who is "no longer caused by hatred and fear" under his leadership, is regarded as synonymous words of reconciliation and peace.
Objectively speaking, the crime of Hitler's Third Empire slaughtered Jews could not be killed by Brandt.Not to mention that time has passed for more than 20 years, and Brandt is not a member of the Nazi group. He himself has participated in the struggle against Hitler since he was 14 years old.But Brandt's significance, like his New Oriental policy, conveyed sincerity as the inner rules of the country's relationship and the international community.This is the same as Dezosa's "apology" and the statement of "responsibility".
In a world that is complicated, chaotic, or even threatened by nuclear war, it is important to maintain the sincerity of avoiding war and maintaining peace.American psychologist Harriet Lerner once distinguished from three types: the simplest apology, the most apologized, medium difficulty, and high difficulty apology.The vast majority of apology in national relations belong to the "difficult apology", that is, the party who made mistakes is easily unwilling to mention some sensitive categories.Therefore, the premise of being able to achieve "high difficulty apology" lies in the sincere cognition. We must have the sincerity of being born from the heart, such as Brandt, such as Desa.
From the perspective of political science, reconciliation is the most difficult way to deal with contradictions between the country and conflict.Compared to one party forced the other party to sign the city under the city, or seduce the other party to find the completion of the other party by the interest chip, or the contradictions do not give up, maintain the cold war pattern, and the situation of reconciliation is indeed much worse.Moreover, it is not only difficult to reach an agreement in a short period of time, but also need to prevent the rebound of extreme ideas.In the latter, in domestic politics, extreme nationalism has always been incomparable with reconciliation. The competition between political parties can easily make politicians who adhere to forgiveness and rationality to be in trouble, and political risks are not small.This even highlights the role of sincerity as a bridge on the road of reconciliation.
Wu Chengen has a saying in the 90th round of Journey to the West: "It is carelessness to come to the Buddhist world without worry, and sincerely coming to thunder." This sentence may be given us: "reconciliation"In the words of the "Buddhist world" of the contradiction between the relationship between the relationship, "sincerity" is to embark on the bridge of "reconciliation".The so -called "those who want to be in the heart, first sincerity" (Book of Rites? University) shows that the bridge of "sincerity and sincerity" may not be able to enter the "Buddhist world" of reconciliation, but if even the bridge is not up,The reconciliation is even more unsuccessful.
The contradiction between countries is a problem that any politicians cannot bypass and avoid any politicians in national relations.The contradiction between the country has both interests and cognitive factors.The conflict of interests requires time to sharpen, the emergence of opportunities, negotiation, compromise and mutual understanding between the two parties, and cognitive factors need sincere sincerity. Gallowing this loses the foundation of national reconciliation.A part of the collective memory of the country and the nation adds obstacles to the future reconciliation.
Therefore, the British wisely chose to get along peacefully with the United States, resolved the significance of the British and American hostile relations for more than a century after the independence of the United States.The big reconciliation of Iran's century, the gospels from the chaotic world, all of the "most difficult ways" to reconcile the relationship between state relations, and gave the mystery of turning extravagance as a reality.
Today's world, there are too many mysteries to crack between national relations.Faced with various types of guessing moves, the sincerity of Dezosa's "apology" reflection may be able to provide inspiration for the mystery of more national reconciliation.This should be what the President himself wants to see.
