"It Happens in People" - Tribute to Mandela

Mandela said: "Thank God for giving me an unconquerable soul. I am the master of fate, and I am the commander of the soul." After reading it, I sincerely felt that Mandela was really a great person and was worthy of it. Very worthy of admiration.

Mandela led the racial movement in South Africa, broke down the racial divide in South Africa, brought black and white together through rugby, and every time, he watched the beginning and end of the game from the field. He asked his daughter: what do you think of the captain of the football team.

The daughter said: "Every time I see this captain, I think of the white policeman who came to drive away the mother and daughter while Mandela was in custody." Mandela knew it.

But he did, treating blacks and whites without distinction, treating them equally, and coexisting peacefully. Because other than peaceful coexistence, any measures will lead blacks and whites to an irreconcilable extreme, such as ethnic equality in China, priority for ethnic minorities, one country, two systems in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The roots are intertwined and the details are small. It does not mean that the roots can be eradicated casually. What’s more, it is a race of people, and it is also a white man.

How tolerant and forbearing must be, such a great person should live longer, because for such a person, living is a symbol, one of Mandela’s favorite poems:

Unconquerable William Henry

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I see layers of bottomless darkness.

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeoninmgs of chance After wave after wave of blows,

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tear Looms but the Horror of the shade Looms but the Horror of the shade

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. But I am not afraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll, no matter what punishments I shall bear.

I am the master of my fate: I am the master of my fate,

I am the captain of my soul. I am the captain of my soul.

After watching this movie, I was very moved and moved. In the movies I watched, there were always some movies that I was reluctant to delete. Fortunately, the memory of my mobile phone was large enough, so I was able to act so willfully and keep it. These precious and beautiful films are only able to watch such excellent and admirable people and look back at my ridiculous 20 years of life. It's ridiculous, it's deplorable, it's nonsense.

Mandela said: Man, not God. I'll take it as a motto, and I'll always remember it forever.

    It's the same thing as weakness, white people accept black people, black people accept white people, this is true harmony, sports are really good things

    I came down to watch it for director Clint Eastwood and Damon Ge's acting skills. The second football-themed inspirational movie I've ever seen. It's not appropriate to say inspirational, it's a drama movie. Sports themes can arouse enthusiasm. But "Weekend Midnight Light" with the same theme is obviously too clever

Invictus quotes

  • Nelson Mandela: If I cannot change when circumstances demand it, how can I expect others to?

  • Brenda Mazibuko: I'm sorry, Madiba, but we've got problems everywhere we look: housing, food, jobs, crime, our currency. You can't keep interrupting affairs of state to placate a minority!

    Nelson Mandela: But I must. Because that minority still controls the police, the army, and the economy. If we lose them, we cannot address the other issues.

    Brenda Mazibuko: So, this rugby is a political calculation...?

    Nelson Mandela: It is a HUMAN calculation. If we take away what they cherish; the Springboks, their national anthem, we just reinforce the cycle of fear between us.
