Is there a Chinese version of the American Declaration of Human Rights?

First of all, the United States has a Declaration of Independence, not a Declaration of Human Rights. Then, here is the original Chinese text:

Continental Congress (July 4, 1776)

Declaration of Independence unanimously adopted by the thirteen states of the United States of America

In the course of the development of human affairs, when one nation must dissolve its political ties with another nation and establish its presence in the world When nations accept an independent and equal status among themselves, in accordance with the laws of nature and the will of God, the reasons why they are compelled to be independent must be declared out of respect for human opinion.

We hold the following truths to be self-evident: All men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In order to protect these rights, humans have established governments among themselves, and the legitimate power of the government arises from the consent of the governed. When any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government; the principles upon which it is founded, and the power organized in such a manner, that in the opinion of the people it alone can be most likely to achieve their safety and happiness. For the sake of prudence, governments that have been established for many years should not be changed for minor and temporary reasons. All past experience also shows that human beings would rather tolerate any suffering, as long as it is bearable, rather than abolish the government to which they have long been accustomed for the sake of their own rights. But when a series of abuses and usurpations in pursuit of the same object prove that the government intends to bring the people under despotic rule, then the people have the right and the duty to overthrow that government and establish a new one for their future security. security—such was the resignation of these colonies in the past, and the reason why they were now obliged to change their former system of government. The history of the present kings of Great Britain is a history of a succession of outrages and plunders, the sole object of which was the establishment of despotic tyranny in these states. In order to prove the truth of what is said, the following facts are announced to the just world-

He refused to approve the laws most beneficial and necessary for the public interest.

He forbade his governors to pass urgent and most necessary laws, or else suspended them pending his assent; Totally ignored.

He refused to ratify other laws for the convenience of the people of large areas, unless those people would relinquish their right of representation in the legislature; but this right was of inestimable value to them, and is feared only by tyrants. kind of right.

He summoned state legislative bodies to meet at unusual, extremely inconvenient, and distant places from their archives, for the sole purpose of straining them into complying with his will.

He repeatedly dissolved the assemblies of the states which opposed with fearless fortitude his infringement of the rights of the people.

After he dissolved the state parliaments, he refused to elect a new parliament for a long time; but the legislative power cannot be abolished, so this power is still exercised by the ordinary people. At that time, the states were still in a dangerous situation, with both foreign invasion and internal strife at risk.

He endeavored to check the increase of population in our States; to this end he blocked the passage of laws for the naturalization of aliens, refused to ratify his laws to encourage aliens to immigrate to the States, and raised the conditions for the distribution of new lands.

He obstructed the administration of justice by refusing to approve laws establishing judicial powers.

He placed the term of office, salary amount and payment of judges completely under the control of his personal will.

He established new government offices, dispatched large numbers of officials, harassed our people, and depleted our people of necessary living materials.

He maintains among us, in time of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislative bodies.

He strived to make the military independent of and above civilian government.

He has colluded with certain persons to place us under a jurisdiction that is unfit for our system and not recognized by our laws; and he has approved various spurious bills concocted by those persons to To achieve the following purposes:

station a large number of armed forces among us;

cover them with false interrogations so that they can kill the residents of our states with impunity;

Cutting off our trade with the rest of the world;

Imposing taxes on us without our consent;

Depriving us of the right to a jury system in many cases;

Fabricate charges and transport us overseas for trial;

Abolish the British liberal legal system in a neighboring province, establish an autocratic government there, and expand the boundaries of the province in an attempt to turn the province into a model yet another worthy instrument for the extension of the same totalitarian rule upon the colonies here; to cancel our charter, to repeal our most precious laws, and to fundamentally alter the form of government of our several states; to suspend the exercise of our own legislative bodies Powers, declaring themselves the right to make laws for us in all matters.

He declared that we were no longer under his protection and went to war against us, thereby abandoning his government here.

He plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is now transporting a large number of foreign mercenaries to complete the activities of massacre, destruction and wreaking havoc. This kind of activity has been started for a long time, and its cruelty and despicability can hardly find a precedent even in the most barbaric era. He is completely unworthy of being the head of a civilized country.

He captured our compatriots on the high seas, forced them to take up arms against their country, and became the perpetrators of the murder of their relatives and friends, or died at the hands of their own relatives and friends.

He incited civil strife among us, and tried his best to instigate the cruel and uncivilized Indians to kill and plunder the residents we chased; and as we all know, the Indians' fighting rules do not distinguish between men, women, old and young. Kill without mercy.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for improvement in the most humble terms; but repeated petitions have been answered with repeated injury. A prince is unfit to be the ruler of a free people when his character has been marked by the conduct of a tyrant.

It’s not that we don’t care about our brothers in the UK. We remind them from time to time that their legislatures seek to impose unwarranted jurisdiction over us. We also told them about our immigration and settlement here. We once appealed to their innate sense of justice and magnanimity, and we begged them to consider themselves of the same species and ancestry and abandon these predatory behaviors so as not to affect their relationships and interactions with each other. But they also turned a deaf ear to this call for justice and blood. Therefore, we really have to declare our separation from them and treat them the same as we treat other nations in the world: if they fight with us, they are enemies; if they make peace with us, they are friends.

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America assembled under the Continental Congress, in the name of the good people of the colonies, and without authority from them, appeal to the most noble justice of the world, stating our solemn intentions, and Do solemnly declare that these United Colonies are, and by their right must be, free and independent States, that they cancel all allegiance to the Crown of Great Britain, and that all political relations between them and the State of Great Britain are hereby terminated. All are cut off, and must be cut off; as free and independent states, they have full right to declare war, conclude peace, enter into alliances, trade, and take all actions that independent states have the right to take.

In support of this Declaration, we pledge our lives, our property, and our sacred honor to each other, trusting firmly in the protection of God.
