3月24日，国家主席习近平在法国尼斯会见法国总统马克龙。会见前，马克龙向习近平赠送1688年法国出版的首部《论语导读》法文版原著。
马克龙介绍说，《论语》的早期翻译和导读曾对孟德斯鸠和伏尔泰的哲学思想给予启发。这部《论语导读》原著目前仅存两本，一本送给习近平主席，另一本存放在巴黎的法国国立吉美亚洲艺术博物馆。习近平说，这个礼物很珍贵，我要把它带回去收藏在中国国家图书馆。
这部《论语导读》的作者是17世纪法国人弗朗索瓦·贝尼耶。24日的《巴黎人报》评论说，这本《论语导读》原著“非常珍贵”，法方把它作为国礼送给习近平主席，凸显了中欧交往历史的悠久......

Scott Of The Antarctic

The ice wind dug deep
into the darkened lines
of his broken skin.
Cracking even the deepest crevice
and bringing blood.
He struggled on
without thought for his prevail.

Winds echoed like haunting voices
forever in his ears.
As snow in flakes as large as his hand
fell endlessly covering everything
in bright clear white.
Blinded he struggled on.

His goal was but a day away
as the cold bit hard
crushing his sole.
Defeating his every need
and taking him beyond endurance.

Taking everything that he could give
he walked on into the blinding storm.
Frostbitten, delirious
and lost in the wilderness.
He bent down never to rise again
In the light of the coming day.

Poem by Alan Brown

“Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”（Ulysses） ― Alfred Lord Tennyson, Idylls of the King and a Selection of Poems.
