President Hu Jintao meets with Japanese PM Fukuda

What have President Hu Jintao and reputed Japanese world ambassador Mr.Daiseku Ikeda share in common? It’s none other than peace and people first humanistic value.

In this era of hectic physical and material centric development, the urgency to promote peace and harmony has never seem to be so challenging and compelling to re-emphasis the two traditional values as old as human history. Having reflected what nations, societies, groups or sects are doing or have done to pursue their respective goals and ambitions disregard to peace and harmony, in what ever name and thinking are infact tantamount to homicide of mankind.

We may take a step backward to recollect how the past few decades the world were in a relatively stable and civilized environment without large scale wars, however peace and harmony are still as elusive as human mind.Obviously, peace and harmony have been taken for granted without being appreciated, and to the writer urgently requiring a cultural renaissance to priorities the two good and old value into their right perspective, not only within society but in international community.

Mr.Ikeda is a renowned contemporary educationalist, proponent of humanistic Buddhism, and reputed world peace ambassador of Japan to the world; For the past half a century he had persistently and passionately promote peace to the every corners of the world and had earned the prestige Noble peace prize.

For the good of world peace, and aiming to open up a new chapter for model to be emulate, contributing and elevating to long term peaceful and harmonious development of Sino -Japanese relationship ,this writer suggested that president includes a visit to Mr.Ikeda into his itinerary during the president's official visit to Japan scheduled in early month of 2008.Perhaps China and Japan may join hands to explore how the two neighbors which share common origin of culture in Confucianism and Buddhism, to "reinstate" peace and harmony into "people first" humanistic value system, contributing to the reshaping of world new order, kicking off a cultural renaissance initiative for Sino-Japan, both for bilateral relationship and for world peace.
