【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 f sanitaryware and the quintessence of humanism that underlies technological innovation. Like GNP, employment rates, and space exploration efforts, the lowly equipment is an equally important measure of a progressive society. When on a toilet if we feel like a princess, we shall be proud of living in a society that values humanity. If not, we must stand up and make some changes.
　　And if you are still baffled with what I have said, I suggest you take off right now and go experience the bathrooms in this auditorium, because they are what makes our life beautiful or ugly, humanism considered or ignored.

　　Honourable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Humanism, by which I mean the will to give people love and care, is the most joyful and meaningful part of being human. From the old days to technologically advanced world, humanism is always telling ordinary but moving stories.
　　Let me tell you what touched my heart this winter break, one morning when I visited my grandmother in the hospital. Walking down the cold, tiled corridor, I noticed an old man, with his granddaughter amp。ndash。 maybe 10 years old amp。ndash。 sitting by his side. I was lured there by her voice amp。ndash。 light and playful amp。ndash。 and after Iamp。39。d seen them together, I could barely take my eyes away.

As one psychological theory states, amp。quot。We see what we want to seeamp。quot。. After my experience that day at the hospital, I have chosen to recognize, day by day, the warmth of humanism everywhere I can.
　　I refuse to accept the negative, narrowminded, caustic opinions that technology is eroding our souls. I say to them, let the machines continue their monotonous cacophony, for just one smiling face is infinitely more valuable than a thousand churners of binary code。 let technological progress develop and develop until it poetically devours itself, because one heartfelt amp。quot。helloamp。quot。 to a fellow traveller can speak libraries of warmth。 let the powermongers and oil barons puff their last cigars, because the love and care, and warmth of humanism will always shine like beacon, reaching out to ea
