the divided world Facing the difficulty imposed by the spreading of 2019-nCoV, the picture of globalization appears an illusion. The world is poised close to a transition towards division rather than a community. Many countries treat other countries in trouble as the source of their trouble. The world fails to unite together to fight against the crisis. The countries have to face their difficulties own by own or, at most, by their own little group. A surprising number of governments try to shirk their responsibility while adhering to target scapegoats with a global vision to shift their blame. It is not a friendly world. Many should feel lonely.

The positive aspect of Covid_19 part 1 Surely, no one thought that the exploration of SARS in China in 2003 was a good thing, which leaded to the community segregation involving millions people at that time (it is better to add or remove the phrase of ‘at the time’ here) and the death of ~1000 people in the end. People often blamed the central government for its delayed response: the exploration of SARS began in December, and the central government was reluctant to admit it in (Can I use ‘until’ instead of ‘in’) next April. The time past 17 years. Covid_19 began in Decembers, 2019 again. Though the local government seems as bureaucratic and stupid as their predecessors, the central government seems took the lesson of SARS. Otherwise, it won’t to decide to lock down the whole province in next January. Such a strict response was beyond people’s expectation, because the decision was made at just one day before Chinese New Year: decades of millions people were waiting to go back their hometown. Such strict treatment was necessary when one looked it back now: the number of daily confirmed cases began to decrease after 1-2 weeks. In the end, more than 80 thousand peoples died of Covid_19 in China. It was believed that the number would increase in the order of magnitude, if the decision of lock-down was made one or two day later. In contrast to Hegel's opinion, people do learn a lesson from the past this time. The exploration of SARS in 2003 constituted a rapider and effective response in 2020, when people faced Covid_19 with the stronger infectivity and a longer latent period than that of SARS (Does ‘than that of SARS is necessary?).

an old story "East Zhou want to plant rice," is the start of a little story recorded in“Stratagems of the Warring States”, a book was edited around 50 B.C. and recorded the storys in China during 490-221B.C. At that time, there was a river flowing from west to east through two countries, East Zhou and West Zhou. It's the background. The slice of this story is short, which includes 159 words in original version : "East Zhou want to plant rice, but West Zhou blocked the river. East Zhou sick it. Mr. Su went to see the king of East Zhou: ' Please let me go to West Zhou and let them break the dam.' So he went off and met the king of West Zhou:' Your honorest made a mistake. Blocking the river will enrich East Zhou, because their people are all planting wheat now, instead of rice. If you want to take the control, you should open the dam and hurt what they are planting now. If they got enough water, they will back to rice. Then all lives of East Zhou depend on West Zhou and rely on your mercy. ' The king of West Zhou: 'Fine!' The river was unblocked. Mr. Su was rewarded by both countries." ("东周欲为稻，西周不下水，东周患之。苏子谓东周君曰：“臣请使西周下水,可乎?”乃往见西周之君曰：“君之谋过矣!今不下水，所以富东周也。今其民皆种麦，无他种矣。君若欲害之，不若一为下水，以病其所种。下水，东周必复种稻；种稻而复夺之。若是，则东周之民可令一仰西周，而受命于君矣。”西周君曰：“善。”遂下水，苏子亦得两国之金也。") Recently , USA makes an effort to block the supply of wafer of Huawei from all over the word. It remains me the story.
