Hi readers!
The Military Parade of China did it during celebrating 80 years of their victory in world war II: a miracle caused by combination of conviction, resolve, determination, dedication, vision and foresight of His Excellency, the Chinese Premier Xi Jinping: the personality for whom I have great respect and regards for the accomplishments he presented to the world on September 3rd, 2025, in Beijing, China. According to CNN, “the parade showcased hundreds of advanced weapons including more than 10,000 troops, revealing China’s growing military power under Xi’s vision to modernize the world’s largest standing army. 10,000 pigeons and 10,000 colorful balloons were sent to air at the end the Parade as a symbol of peace and happiness, respectively.
I watched the live telecast of the parade and so did the entire world.
I was impressed by Xi’s vision when Chinese scientists decided to do away with the scarcity of water in the Yellow river (and wrote several blogs on this topic: three are being mentioned here) by converging the water vapor channels (the sky rivers) and said,
“We don’t want to just write theoretical essays on Sky Rivers rather, we want to write essays on the ground”. And they did it. (Pl read my first blog at https://shafwrites.com/borrow-vision-from-china-if-you-have-to/
on the qualities of Chinese people mentioned above and you will understand what I mean?).
I then wrote another blog titled “Power of the idea and idea so powerful”
and then the third blog: “the idea so powerful”.
All these blogs are on controlling rain, convergence of water vapor’s transport channel: the sky river: an ambitious project on which Chinese scientists have worked to divert water vapor northwards from the Yangtze river basin to the Yellow river basin, where it would rain. Please read the blog mentioned above especially “Prologue to the Sky River” in the blog titled “power of the idea and the idea so powerful” which is a practical translation of the:
poetic verse by “Li Bai” (of Tang Dynasty) who utter this in 752 AD (Do you not see the Yellow River comes from the sky?) Since then, Chinese are making every effort to convert this idea into a practical reality. The current “sky river project” is today’s practical manifestation of that “powerful idea”. If Chinese can fill the yellow river (to let it flow till the end of times) by diverting the water vapors from over the Tibetan Plateau from where Yellow, Yangtze, and Mekong rivers have their origins to translate the idea of a poetic verse written in 752 AD, what else is impossible for them? No body knows how many other powerful ideas they have translated up to now for the benefit of China and her people? The parade showcased hundreds of advanced creations: some of which would definitely be translated products of the ideas of their living and nonliving legends. (Hats off to all of them, Chinese people and the Premier Xi’s vision).
We are lucky that we have an ironclad friend in China. We keep tirelessly claiming that our friendship with China is sweeter than honey, deeper than ocean and higher than the Himalia: a rhetoric and illusion from which we will never come out. We don’t realize that time don’t wait for anybody as nobody is indispensable. It passed and passed away leaving behind only sorrows and regrets and this is becoming very much evident for Pakistan. It will not change unless we change ourselves, our system (we must get rid of so-called democracy which produced only corrupt, looters & plunders, blackmailers, and greedy politicians with their unending lust for wealth. Yet, if somebody’s stomach gets upset without democracy, he/she should vote for presidential system.
Can you believe China got independence in1949, two years later than us (1947) but, they are on the moon, and we are on the floor because we have significantly less potential than Chinese and that’s why
They are ruling the world, and we are bagging at their door
کوئی اُمید بر نہیں آتی (No hope)
شرم ہم کو مگر نہیں آتی (No shame)
Think about that.
See you again. Till then,
take care,
Bye.
