We are the sum of our ancestors' struggles.

中国的生机依靠风雷激荡的改革，万马齐喑的局面终究令人悲哀。

Our heroes are human heroes. That's a very new situation. Most other societies have had, right at their center, the worship of something transcendent: a god, a spirit, a natural force, the universe, whatever it is -- something else that is being worshiped. We've slightly lost the habit of doing that, which is, I think, why we're particularly drawn to nature.
