Today is Nelson Mandela 92nd birthday and a UN declared International Nelson Mandela Day. Everyone is encouraged to offer 67 minutes for community and charity services. (67 minutes denotes Nelson Mandela 67 years of public service and sacrifices for freedom and humanity ).
When I read his autobiography [ LONG ROAD TO FREEDOM ] about 6 years ago, I wrote my comment :"A story of human courage. Telling an extraordinary life in an ordinary way. Easy reading". He harboured no hatred but reconciliation towards the apartheid regime that imprisoned him for 27 years.
He is a great man, an icon of peace, forgiveness and reconciliation.
今天是南非前总统曼德拉九十二岁生日，也是联合国宣布的国际曼德拉日。每个人都受邀请献出67小时，为社区或慈善服务。（67代表曼德拉67年为自由及人权的奉献）
在2004年，我读了曼德拉自传『自由的长路』后，我写下感想：“ 一个人性勇气的故事。以平常的手法，写出了一个不平常的生活。非常的易读”。他没有对监禁他27年的种族隔离政府怀着怨恨，但却是拥抱和解。
他是一位伟人，和平，宽恕及和好的标志。
