第1章 抢劫，本就应该视为犯罪！
引言：一个国家的强大和文明，不应该去数有几艘航母，几架飞机，那是小学生都可以做的判断。而将抢劫视为犯法行为，却可以凸显一个国家在对待公民时的态度和温度，这才是一个国家的底线！
在一个阳光明媚的午后，来自美国的黑人青年乔纳德踏上了他向往已久的东方之旅，目的地是中国。作为一名热衷于探索不同文化的年轻人，乔纳德非常期待通过亲身体验，来了解这个古老而现代的国度。
刚抵达BJ的第一天，乔纳德便迫不及待地，穿梭在繁华的大街上，熙攘的人群、琳琅满目的商品令他目不暇接。然而，最让他感到惊奇的并非这些表面的繁华景象，而是人们在购物时展现出来的秩序与文明。
那天，乔纳德走进一家售卖传统工艺品的商店，店内顾客络绎不绝，但与他在家乡经常看到的情景截然不同。这里没有争先恐后的推搡，没有高声喧哗的争执，更没有拿起商品就跑的从容。难道在这里，买商品一定要付钱么？
为什么每个人都安静地浏览着货架，礼貌地询问店员，耐心地排队等待结账。这样的画面让乔纳德感到十分困惑。接下来的日子里，在他走遍的无论是热闹的市场、大型购物中心，还是街头巷尾的小店，乔纳德都见证了同样的场景。他看到人们有序地排队乘坐公共交通，自觉地将垃圾丢进垃圾桶，甚至在没有交通信号灯的路口，行人和车辆也能默契地相互礼让。这些日常生活中看似微不足道的细节，却深深触动了乔纳德。
一次，他与一位中国朋友小曹共进晚餐时，忍不住提出了心中的疑问：“为什么在中国，无论哪里都没有人抢商店？你们的国民素质真的这么高吗？”小曹听后微笑着回答：“我们自古以来就崇尚‘仁义礼智信’，这些理念深入人心。而且近年来，随着社会的发展和教育的普及，人们对公共道德和规则意识有了更高的认识。当然，任何社会都不可能完美无瑕，但我们都在努力做一个有教养、尊重他人、遵守秩序的公民。”
乔纳德听后深感敬佩，他意识到，中国的社会秩序并非一蹴而就，而是源于深厚的文化底蕴、有效的社会治理以及所有人的自觉自律。这些发现让他对中国人的素质有了全新的认识，再回想到自己故乡司空见惯的打家劫舍，乔纳德陷入了沉思。
“顺便告诉你”，小曹见他若有所思，接着说，“在这片土地上，抢劫，是犯法的。”
是啊，抢劫本就应该视为犯罪！也许这么多年作为世界灯塔，在不断探索人类下限方面虽然屡有建树，但却忽视了一个重要的事实，一个人民群众在不断的实践摸索中总结出来的金规铁律，抢劫，应该是犯法的。一个国家的强大和文明，不应该去数有几艘航母，几架飞机，那是小学生都可以做的判断。而将抢劫视为犯法行为，却可以凸显一个国家在对待公民时的态度和温度，这才是一个国家的底线！
Robbery should inherently be regarded as a crime!
The strength and civilization of a nation should not be measured by the number of aircraft carriers or fighter jets it possesses; that is a judgment even elementary school students can make. Instead， treating robbery as an illegal act demonstrates a country's attitude and compassion towards its citizens， representing the very bottom line of a nation.—— Epigraph
On a bright， sunny afternoon， young African American man Jonathan from the United States embarked on his long-anticipated journey to the East， with China as his destination. An avid explorer of diverse cultures， Jonathan eagerly anticipated experiencing firsthand this ancient yet modern nation.
On his very first day in Beijing， Jonathan couldn't wait to immerse himself in the bustling streets， captivated by the throngs of people and the dazzling array of goods. However， what amazed him most was not the superficial opulence but the order and civility displayed during shopping.
Entering a shop selling traditional handicrafts， Jonathan found it teeming with customers， yet strikingly different from the scenes he frequently encountered back home. There was no pushing and shoving， no loud arguments， nor any casual grabbing of items and dashing off. Was it truly necessary to pay for goods here?
Why did everyone quietly peruse the shelves， politely inquire with staff， and patiently queue for checkout? This scene puzzled Jonathan greatly. Over the following days， as he traversed bustling markets， large malls， and small street-side shops alike， he witnessed the same scenario repeatedly. He saw people orderly queuing for public transport， disposing of litter in bins voluntarily， and even at intersections devoid of traffic signals， pedestrians and vehicles courteously yielded to one another. These seemingly insignificant details in daily life deeply moved Jonathan.
During a dinner with a Chinese friend， Xiao Cao， he finally voiced his curiosity:“Why is it that nowhere in China do people rob stores? Is your national quality really that high?“ Xiao Cao smiled and replied，“Since ancient times， we have revered the principles of 'benevolence， righteousness， propriety， wisdom， and trustworthiness.' These ideals are deeply ingrained in our culture. In recent years， with societal development and the spread of education， people have gained a higher awareness of public morality and rule consciousness. Of course， no society is perfect， but we all strive to be well-mannered， respectful of others， and law-abiding citizens.“
Jonathan was deeply impressed， realizing that China's social order did not emerge overnight but stemmed from profound cultural roots， effective social governance， and the self-discipline of its people. These discoveries gave him a newfound appreciation for the character of the Chinese people， and recalling the ubiquitous robberies in his hometown， Jonathan fell into deep contemplation.
“By the way，“ Xiao Cao noted his thoughtful expression， continuing，“on this land， robbery is against the law.“
Indeed， robbery should inherently be considered a crime! Perhaps， as the world's beacon， while making significant strides in exploring human limits， we have overlooked a crucial fact– a golden rule etched by the people through constant practice and exploration: robbery should be illegal. A nation's strength and civilization should not be gauged by counting its aircraft carriers or fighter jets; such assessments are within the grasp of even elementary school children. However， treating robbery as a criminal offense highlights a nation's stance and warmth toward its citizens， embodying the very foundation of a country.
