After Darwin, people said...
When our ancestors carved the first traces on the rock wall, a spark was destined to start a prairie fire. We have witnessed the pyramid cutting the dawn, and the Great Wall awakening on the back of the mountains; we have used our thoughts to pierce ignorance - the debate in the Athens square, the galaxy in the Jixia Academy, and the giant palm of the Renaissance tore through the long night of the Middle Ages. This is an expedition that rushes in the blood: from the shadow of the sails of Zheng He's fleet touching the exotic monsoon to the time when Armstrong's footprints are burned into the moon dust.
Listen! Newton's apple breaks through chaos, Einstein's equations burn on the tapestry of space and time; behold! From the Code of Hammurabi to the Declaration of the Rights of Man, we have carved the cornerstone of society with reason and justice. Every persistence before the plague, every solidarity during the famine, and every "no" blasted in the face of tyranny are proof of the immortality of human nature.
The Human Alliance is not an alliance of blood, but an alliance of will! We fight against the abyss with the same heartbeat: planting roses on the ruins of Hiroshima, holding on to peace in the shadow of nuclear weapons; using the Internet to weave global nerves, and letting probes carry the voice of the earth to the beyond of the galaxy.
Today, we stand on the top of the cliff of civilization. Our enemies are laziness, division and fear of the stars. Remember: every pair of hands holding a torch were once ape palms wrapped in soil; every sparkle that illuminates the darkness comes from the sun that refuses to be extinguished in the chest of a mortal.
Onward, sons of men! Our journey is to unify our will, share prosperity, and let the light of human civilization shine through the eternal night of the universe. With the earth as the base and the stars as the territory—this body and soul are the eternal ignition of the human holy fire.
