MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

All-Earth Citizens Foundation Chairman Inauguration Speech

Jonathan H. Jiang, December 3, 2022

Dear friends, honorable guests, children, thank you!

Today, it's my great honor to serve you as the president of the All-Earth Citizens Foundation.

 

What is all-Earth? Look at this image Earth, taking by a camera on JPL’s Mars Rover on the red planet. We are the citizens on this planet, on this tiny dot.

Who we are? We are human civilization in a magnificent Cosmos!

Next, in this image of humans, both man and woman are raising hands.

Now, look at your hand for a moment. Hold it up, palm facing you. We all have

five fingers. The first we call a thumb. In appearance it looks different. It stands

out. And it is strong. It represents Love. Thumb up is an indication of approval,

of that I’m happy for you, that I love you, you are good!

Next, look at your index finger. We point with this one. It gives us direction. It

represents our determination and our responsibility. And together with love, or

it ensures that everything is all right,

Third is the middle finger, the longest of all. Sometime people mistakenly say it’s a bad finger, no it’s not, it means we want to make love, to produce children. It represents what we want life to survive, the long road of existence.  With these three fingers together, we can hold chopsticks, or hold spoon, and have the certainty that there will be food, water, shelter, education, and health care for every one of us no matter where we may be on that long road.

Next, for many of us, is the marriage ring finger, either the right or the left hand, and for all of us, a finger with a direct link to our nervous system. It represents commitment to the environment. We all have a direct link to the Earth and the ecosystem of which we are a part. When the Earth environment is spoiled, our lives are spoiled.

Finally, there is our “little finger,” shorter and smaller than the rest. It represents our fear and our life and Earth’s vulnerability. It’s the “finale” of our hand, our reward. All the others lead to this one, and we must work together to overcome our fear and to survive.

As you take a look at your hand, let’s shake hands, let’s hold our hands together, and remember that that we are citizens of the Earth, remember we share the same future, and we must love together and work together to protect our environment.

The goal of the All-Earth Citizens Foundation is to promote the peaceful coexistence of human beings all over the world and lay the foundation for the long-term survival of human being’s extension to the solar system, and reaching to the stars!

Our effort is to enhance everyone's responsibility as a citizen of the planet, especially our teenage generation. We organize a series of social activities, STEAM seminars, and carry out systematic education and social practice from various perspectives of natural science, environmental science, as well as arts and social science. We promote the knowledge of the Earth, its environment, and its relationship to the Cosmos. We shall elevate the human vision to a new height and let our children to compose a new chapter in the human history.

Our vision is within reach by our children’s and grandchildren’s generation. Even if it can't be achieved by one generation, we must take immediate action, must make sustained efforts, and must send a bold message. Because it’s our responsibility as All-Earth Citizens.
