I just scrolled through my phone and saw a piece of news. A Taiwanese student wrote a letter to Snowden in a philosophy class, thanking him for his dedication and contribution to human rights. This moment reminded me of myself in college, alone in The feeling after watching this movie in the cinema.

I have always been fascinated by the charm of these people, they have ideals, they have beliefs, even if there are many difficulties in life that test their belief in themselves, they never Give up what they believe in.

Churchill, in the face of the rise of the Nazis and the powerful public opinion of capitulation, he also doubted himself, but in the end he still followed his inner voice. I think the reason why he is great is not only Because in that situation, he made a correct decision, but in such an oppressive state of mind and tempting conditions for surrender, he still believed in what he believed in.

Mrs Thatcher, commonly known as the Iron Lady, I am full of love for her.

    Edward Snowden: So primary one on that, I think I've expressed it a couple times online, is I feel the modern media has a big focus on personalities.
