  放眼世界上各个民族，中华民族可谓是最为勤劳的民族之一了。勤劳，逐渐成为世界人民看待中国人的一个标签。勤劳也一直作为一个传统美德，被国人时时称颂。与其他国家的民众相比，中国人更倾向于忍耐艰难的工作环境，并用自己的勤奋来克服工作中的困难，以获得最大的乐趣。中国经济能够在30 年的时间里取得如此的成就，也和这份勤劳分不开。我们相信，勤奋这一品质，将被中国人代代相传。
With regard to all the other peoples in the world, Chinese people can be said to be one of the most diligent peoples. Hardworking has become a label by which Chinese are examined through the eyes of people in the world. Hardworking as a virtue has always been praised by our Chinese people. Compared with people in other countries, Chinese ar
e more likely to endure the hard working conditions and try to overcome the difficulties at work with their diligence, as to achieve the greatest fun. The fact that Chinese economy has gained such great achievements within the recent 30 years can only be accounted for by hardworking.
