Recently, a video of Malaysia Airlines employees conducting security checks on Chinese passengers at the airport has been widely circulated online, causing a strong response. The video shows a Chinese passenger missing 1,000 ringgit (about 2,000 yuan) on the plane.
Malaysia Airlines employees have chosen to check only the luggage and bodies of Chinese passengers during routine checks on all passengers, leaving passengers from other countries spared. This overtly racist practice has aroused strong dissatisfaction among many Chinese travelers.
Malaysia Airlines, as an internationally renowned airline, has seriously damaged the company's reputation due to the unprofessional behavior of its employees. Racial discrimination should not be present in a civilized society, let alone among the employees of an international company.
We need to look at this event rationally:
First, the employee's targeting of Chinese travelers is a clear violation of professional ethics and should be disciplined and punished within the company. It is incumbent upon the airline to make an official apology and take steps to prevent such incidents from happening again.
Secondly, we must not magnify the mistakes of individual employees and assume that the whole Malaysian nation or nation is responsible. A country also has many friendly and wise people. The expansion of events will only provoke unnecessary ethnic hatred.
Third, the video's widespread distribution also reflects the Chinese public's concern and sensitivity to the humiliation of their own people. This shows that the Chinese people's sense of national pride and honor is increasing. But at the same time, we must remain rational and not be xenophobic.
Finally, we need to believe that the forces of light and justice in the world will eventually triumph over bigotry and ignorance. If Malaysia Airlines refuses to face up to its problems, it will eventually pay the price under the pressure of international public opinion. We should be rational and support companies to face up to and solve this problem in a peaceful and rational way.
A civilized and progressive world requires mutual respect and understanding among different countries and races. We should not only see the mistakes of a few individuals, but the progress of the entire human family. Let us continue to promote the progress of human civilization with a positive and rational attitude.
Promoting friendly exchanges between different countries and ethnic groups is a historic responsibility that our generation should shoulder. Because communication dispels prejudice and communication increases understanding.
We need to learn more about the history and culture of different countries, and look at each country and race with equality and an open mind, rather than judging with colored glasses. Because every nation has its own unique contribution. When we dispel preconceptions, we can find that every corner of the world shines with a unique brilliance.
We must respect every nation's right to choice and development. The path of a nation's development needs to be determined by its own historical conditions, not imposed by external forces. When a people feels respected, not discriminated against, can they truly open their hearts and communicate with the world.
We should also be fully aware of the structural inequalities that exist between different countries and peoples. Developed countries do have an advantage in many respects. This requires us to be more generous in our approach to developing countries. Don't criticize them lightly, but put yourself in their shoes.
Of course, we cannot turn a blind eye to some actions that violate universal values. But criticism should come from inner kindness, not preconceptions or prejudices. We need to resolve these issues with love, not hatred.
Everyone can be a messenger of friendly communication. We can learn more about different cultures and show kindness to people from different countries, starting with our daily lives. Eventually, the bits and pieces of communication will converge into a great current that drives human progress.
Let's start with ourselves, use small acts of kindness to positively influence the people around us, and infect the people around us with a rational and open-minded attitude, so as to push the whole world forward towards a bright future. It takes a lot of hard work, but the results will be worth it. The world is a better place because of our efforts, and this is the greatest blessing of our generation.
