Ever since the foundation of the Republic of China, the Russian people have shown kindness to us Chinese in offering renegotiations to the unequal treaties that have scarred our nation. It is our wish to keep the friendship alive between our revolutionary states. I have the utmost faith in comrade Lenin in bringing grand sweeping changes for the good of all Russian people. This revolution comes amidst the Great War, a war in which the Chinese Republic has proclaimed unwavering neutrality. The Chinese people wish not to contribute to the bloodshed, but instead we hope for an everlasting peace amongst all of Europe. Having lasted for four years now and taken millions of lives, it is impossible to deny that it is humanity's greatest wish to see the horrors of warfare come to an end. A review of human history teaches that with sincerity and concrete action, any conflict can be resolved, and any hatred can be resolved. As a Chinese poem reads, [i]“After all vicissitudes the brotherhood remains; a smile at meeting and enmity is banished.”[/i] This is the spirit that the peaceful culture of China lives by, and it is in this very same spirit that I am willing to mediate over any peace talks so that an atmosphere of tranquillity and goodwill may once again befall Europe.
