The black leader who once spent 27 years in a white racist prison is now a white-haired old man. Recently, the whole world is celebrating the old man's 9 1 birthday. There are concerts attended by Hollywood movie stars and rock stars in London, and there are also many grand birthday celebrations in South Africa and other places. Mandela was still so elegant and full of personality charm. People all over the world praise him more at this time. Former white South African President de Klerk, who won the Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela, praised Mandela as one of the greatest politicians in the 20th century and a leader who was "confident, humble, elegant and truly noble". After he became president, he used his personal charm to advocate national reconciliation and turned (South Africa) from a pluralistic society into a rising multicultural country. FIFA President Brad said that it was also influenced by Mandela that FIFA awarded South Africa the right to host the 20 10 World Cup. He called Mandela "a model of elegance and dignity, a man with perseverance to overcome the greatest difficulties". South African Bishop Tu Tu, who also won the Nobel Peace Prize, called Mandela "a gift from God to South Africa" and "a gift from South Africa to the world". He said that Mandela, like Jesus Christ and his followers who brought love to the world, showed great spiritual strength in serving the poor. Like any other great man, Mandela is not a "saint", and he also has his own shortcomings and weaknesses (such as violent struggle and failed marriage in his early years). But the most admirable thing about Mandela is that he is tolerant and forgives those who persecuted him in the past. The 27-year prison life has brought serious harm to his body and mind, but he is determined not to retaliate against his former enemies and those who persecuted him. He said: "When I walked out of my cell and walked through the prison door leading to freedom, I knew that if I couldn't put my sadness and resentment behind me, I would still be in prison." Mandela was full of dignity, restraint and reconciliation after he was released from prison. He called on blacks to restrain their desire for revenge and "throw spears into the sea". 1994 At the inauguration ceremony, Mandela invited three former prisoners who had guarded him to attend the ceremony, introduced them to the world's dignitaries, and paid tribute to them, which shocked and touched the whole world.
Mandela is a man of faith. He was a Christian (Methodist Sect) since he was a child in a missionary school. Mandela is not a man who always wears his faith on his cuff, so he doesn't like to talk about his religious beliefs in public. But he has made it clear that he has always been and will always be a Christian. He admitted that his political ideas and practices were based on his Christian beliefs. Mandela's spirit of forgiveness is closely related to his Christian belief. Mandela was an "angry youth" when he was young, vowing to fight white racists to the end at the cost of his life, full of radical tendencies and profound hatred. In Robben Island for more than 20 years, Mandela's spiritual world has undergone profound changes. After suffering, his heart did not become colder and harder, but became softer and gentler. His hatred for the enemy decreased, but he had a deeper reflection on his Christian faith. After twenty-seven years in prison, Mandela lost his physical freedom, but he was truly liberated. In Mandela's political career, he chose forgiveness and kindness again and again, rejecting bitterness and hatred. He said, "In those long and lonely years, my desire for freedom of my own people turned into a desire for freedom of all people, including whites and blacks. . . The oppressor needs liberation as much as the oppressed. A person who deprives others of their freedom is a prisoner of hatred. He is imprisoned in a cage of prejudice and shortsightedness. " After a charity fund-raising concert, Mandela took photos with world-renowned singers and bands such as Hollywood movie star will smith, U2, Spice Girls, British female singer amy winehouse, queen of the old British rock band, British singer Leona Lewis and sweet baby. Mandela's "view of freedom" has reached a higher level because of the tolerant spirit of Christian belief. In this world of critical struggle and retribution, Mandela has witnessed to us that freedom is not only afraid of physical imprisonment; Freedom is the ability to get out of the hate prison.
