August 16th, 2006 Dear Editors, Please accept this as my most sincere greeting to you, your family and friends. Through the news reports, from the words and pictures, every single imagination of the great danger you may be facing causes me worry. Though there exists a visible distance between us, I still hope that you can feel me sympathy. In those sorrowful moments either past or underway, I’m questioning my responsibilities and capabilities all the time, and even sometimes feel helpless. The possibility that I could play an important role in this global issue seems to be faint, since I’m neither a related major student nor someone with perspective or understanding, also there lacks close relationships with someone really influencing. However I know as a member of Globalist I must make use of my opportunities to call out and raise attention, as a means of reparation and preventing more conflicts. That’s why I feel so glorious to join this team and work together with the same purpose. Though I’ve never met you face to face, I sincerely hope that our friendship would stand for long, no matter what is happening to us. Across the long distance from Beijing to Jerusalem and Beirut I’m sending my best wishes to you all. We believe that tomorrow will be better, and those who believe in love and peace will see glories over darkness together. With best regards, Cliff Liang August 15th, 2006 Dear Editors, I’m so happy to hear the news of ceasefire yesterday! Though, it is really hard to start writing this letter with the thought that it would do little help to cure your trauma of war. Conflict between Israel and the Arabian world has always been a main part of the international news on TV and newspapers since I was quite young. Writing this letter has joined the imagination of the movie-like humanitarian crisis and the reality of terrible situations of my peers together. I cannot figure out your status of life through the limited news broadcasted here that give limited description of real current situations in your country. Do you have to hide into secured shelters when it alarms? Are you suffering from a shortage of food or other supplies? Is your normal life completely interrupted or still are something in order? What might be a consolation is that most Chinese students, especially many Peking University students are closely concerned with your situations and are trying to do something against the war, yet the effort done here seems in vain due to our weakness comparing to political parties involved in the war. We are still trying to make a strong anti-war atmosphere through various ways. Same things are also happening in many other countries. With the pressures caused by international society, I believe that your sufferings would come to an end soon. Hope to hear from you soon! Lilia Zhang August 14th, 2006 Dear Editors, How are you doing these days? It has been a month since the war broke out. But now, the whole world is happy to see that this terrible thing is coming to an end. I really hope this cease fire will last long, and wish you and your family get out of this nightmare as quickly as possible. Though China is a country thousands of miles away from the conflict, we are concerned about you. The news about the war has been on TV and newspaper for a month, every day. To be very honest, we really hope the killing and blood shedding could end, no matter which side is right or wrong, because the innocent people deserve to live a peaceful life. I don't live in a place where you can hear the alarm easily, and I can't imagine a life like that, but I'm sure the most horrible life is the one without a sense of safety. We are really far away from you, physically, but our hearts are together. I'm writing you this letter, not to solve your problem, because I'm not able to, but to show you how much we care about you. I really wish you guys can be strong, get over this and move for a better tomorrow! Best wishes!! Terry Tian July 16th, 2006 Dear Editors, First of all, please let me express my sorrow and sympathy to both countries' people. A war is breaking out, and innocent people are losing their lives. I got a feeling that world peace is still far away from us, but at the same time, I realize how meaningful it is for us to keep the Globalists running. I know what we are doing might not be of great political influence right now, but time will tell us its effects. We just have to keep a little faith, for the magazine and for life. Bless the people who believe in peace, Terry Tian
