“Any trivial matter multiplied by 1.3 billion will become a big problem;
Any astronomical figure divided by 1.3 billion will become a tiny number.”
一个很小的问题,乘以13亿,都会变成一个大问题;一个很大的总量,除以13亿,都会变成一个小数目。
— Prime Minister Wen Jiabao (温家宝)
“A little kindness multiplied by 1.3 billion will become an ocean of love;
A great problem divided by 1.3 billion will become a trivial matter.”
一点很小的善心,乘以13亿,都会变成爱的海洋;一个很大的困难,除以13亿,都会变得微不足道。
— Wen’s quote as altered by the Internet after the Sichuan earthquake
