Chapter three hundred and ninety-ninth show new heights

Huo Qiu monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!

"Is this Matthew Horner?"

Seeing a tall young man standing on the table, UNHCR High Commissioner Gutierrez asked Philip Grande, “Our Goodwill Ambassador?”

Philip Grande immediately responded, "It's him."

Gutierrez nodded, "It's very good in terms of appearance alone, mature and steady, and very safe."

In the circular conference room, several camera lenses followed Matthew and instantly fell on him. Just like the camera lens, the eyes of most of the people participating in the meeting also fell on Matthew.

Many people are very curious about what such a Hollywood star can say.

Secretary-General Kofi Anbei is a black man. He is originally from Africa and is particularly concerned about the refugee issue in Africa. As the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, he also hopes that Africa will have less war and refugees.

Just after standing on the speech stage, Matthew was angry and felt a sense of presence.

Of course, standing here not only shows off one's image, but also has to be able to speak out. Only by being good at speaking can one be able to eat and achieve high standards.

Matthew has limited cultural cultivation and limited understanding of complex political situations. However, he is very rich now and can do many things, such as getting a speech that is both passionate and high-end.

He had already memorized a speech.

Even he and Helen Hermann discussed every move and expression of the speech and found someone to design it.

Matthew is preparing to show new heights at the United Nations conference.

So, he stood on the speech stage and did not say it in a silence, but instead put on an extremely serious face, like a leader of a great power, inspecting the conference room from left to right.

Representatives of the five rogue states, the president of South Africa, the special envoy of the East African Union, the secretary-general of the United Nations, the official of UNHCR, the commissioner of UNICEF, and diplomats from various countries...

Every one of these hundreds of people is a heavyweight figure in the place, and they are more powerful than a Hollywood star.

But at this moment, they were just ordinary audiences of this high-end show, and they were destined to applaud his personal show.

Of course, Matthew would not be nervous if he had such an idea, and would not feel as if he looked up.

"Mr. President, Mr. Secretary-General, Foreign Ministers and Special Envoys, gentlemen, ladies, good morning."

Matthew spoke without being slow, his tone was steady, his voice loudly, and his attitude was correct. "I am very honored to stand here and call on everyone to pay attention to the refugee issue in Africa."

He did not talk nonsense and got to the point, "Because when standing here, there were millions of people in Africa who didn't even stand. Their homes were destroyed and displaced, and they could only wander from one place to another."

The entire conference room was filled with solemnity, and there was no other voice except Matthew's speech.

Matthew didn't have a manuscript, everything was remembered in his mind. "Now more than five million people in Africa are forced to leave their hometowns, more than at any time in the past hundred years. This makes us worry about world peace and security. People's insecurity are developing too fast. Do we have no ability to stop or reverse this situation?"

No one answered this question, and Matthew didn't need anyone to answer it, continuing, "Now is the time for us to face it honestly. It's time for us to face the refugee problem in Africa!"

His voice gradually became painful, "Think about it, if it were you, holding your child, the world you are familiar with had fallen apart... If you escaped from terrible wars and barbarism, there is no price you are unwilling to pay, there is no high wall you are unwilling to climb, there is no ocean you are unwilling to sail, there is no boundary you are unwilling to cross!"

Matthew suddenly strengthened his tone, "We must act! There is no other way!"

Foreign ministers and officials from many African countries, when they heard Matthew's shouting loudly, their favorability for him greatly increased.

Philip Grande looked at Matthew on the stage and gave him a thumbs up in his heart. He is worthy of being a popular first-line star in Hollywood. His acting skills are indeed extraordinary.

He believed that choosing Matthew Horner was a very wise decision.

"Last year, I had a team of fifteen people who went to many places in Africa to learn about the refugees." Matthew, at the suggestion of Helen Hermann, has been sponsoring a medical team in Africa since the previous year. He spent more than 100,000 US dollars a year, but he had a nominal team. "They brought me a lot of shocking information."

Matthew's face showed grief, "A mother they met in an Angola refugee camp, she can tell you what it feels like when your little daughter is forcibly taken away from your family life by armed men and as a clerk!"

"Hara, she is one of six orphans living in a tent in Eritrea. She can tell you what it feels like to take on the responsibility of supporting the family to raise their younger siblings at the age of 11, because her mother was killed in the war and her father was arrested and disappeared."

"Motuiti, a doctor from Libya, his wife and three-year-old daughter were shot dead by militants. He can tell you what it feels like to lose your loved one in despair and try to survive in a war zone."

When everyone heard the names and examples of Matthew spoke, whether they were sympathetic or not, they were all heavy, as if they were all infected by Matthew's infectious speeches.

Matthew's voice was strong, "More than five million African refugees were victims of uninvolved conflict. However, they were labeled as a burden of abandonment."

His tone gradually slowed down, "Study shows that African refugees can return to their hometowns at least 30 years. Nowadays, the number of refugees forced to leave their hometowns in Africa is higher than before. Millions of refugees do not have enough food, suitable accommodation, let alone education. In the current situation, those desperate people cannot see the hope of going home, and can only seize the last hope of the United Nations, even at risk of their lives."

Standing on the stage, Ma Xiu shouted loudly for the black uncles in Africa that since it was a show, he must be at the best level within his ability.

"So today I stand here and speak out for them, because this is also their United Nations! Here, all countries and all people are free and equal, and are as powerful as they are!"

The applause suddenly rang without any warning, and it became more and more enthusiastic, as if everyone agreed with Matthew's point of view.

Waiting for the applause to come down, Matthew continued, "The purpose of the United Nations is to prevent and resolve conflicts, unite countries to find diplomatic solutions and save lives. However, we have not implemented this purpose in the conflict problems that have erupted in many African countries. The responsibility for the conflict lies in the warring parties. But the crisis has been intensified because the serious division in the international community has not been blocked by the Security Council, which has not fulfilled its duties effectively."

Matthew took this political topic a little bit, and then he took the initiative to retreat and called again, "This is a time when we should face it honestly. We should talk frankly about the major issues that we are about to face. Because our world is not good at all, the world is really not united enough! We must change, and we must change now! The most important thing we have today is to deal with the refugee crisis! We should never forget why the basic human rights to refugee are so important."

Not far from the Thornton International Convention Center, Charlize Theron is watching the live broadcast of the conference in his luxury apartment.

Seeing Matthew's powerful performance on the stage and hearing Matthew's heartbroken call, she felt that this guy's acting talent was actually not bad, and his current acting skills must have surpassed him.

"After this meeting, the video of this speech will be spread..." Charlize Theron murmured in a low voice, "I guess Matthew will win praise from the media to the public."

She shook her head and said that she was definitely the first-class level in Hollywood's Chinese Super League.

Matthew's voice sounded again on the TV, "Although we are not strong enough, and even though we also realize how vulnerable we are, today the United Nations is considered a place where people can seek asylum."

In the Thornton Convention Center, Matthew's speech has reached its end. "If today, in the eyes of men and women who come to Africa, the United Nations can still represent a glimmer of hope and a safe paradise, it is something that we are proud of rather than fear."

Matthew felt that he had a very good grasp of the rhythm, and this was definitely the best performance since entering Hollywood.

He said, "Despite all the differences between the United Nations, we still enjoy a prosperous and stable life! We have the ability to help those who flee from war, terror and oppression! I know many people will say: It's good, but we can't help everyone."

After saying this, he paused for a moment, and when most of the people looked here, he continued, "Yes, we cannot help the poor people all over the world. But let's be honest: the number of African refugees who have lost their homes is unprecedented, but they are still a very small proportion compared to those of us who enjoy wealth and stable lives!"

Matthew concluded by saying, “The refugee crisis is so deep, and the road is still long. We can show the courage to move forward and the values ​​we believe in. We still have a long way to go, but when people in the future read this history, I hope they read: We stand shoulder to shoulder and help those who need protection!”
