尊敬的公民朋友们：
值此6月10日“文明对话国际日”到来之际，关于建设对话平台的呼声再次响起！
四川宜宾28岁纺织工人“八百哥”的遭遇，再次凸显了我们社会在对话机制上的严重缺失。“八百哥”为讨薪四处奔走：先向派出所求助，被推诿至劳动局，劳动局又将其引导至仲裁大队，仲裁部门则建议他通过法院诉讼或前往信访局寻求调解。然而法院与信访部门均表示此类“小事”需要长期等待处理，甚至建议他再次回到劳动局。劳动局最终称无能为力，建议报警处理。如此推诿扯皮、互踢“皮球”，令他走投无路，最终选择了极端方式，用行动控诉体制失声：“你不给我一个说法，我就给你一个说法。”
2018年，河北沧州人迟永辉在深圳务工期间，也因被欠薪点燃怒火，纵火焚毁工厂，酿成重大人员伤亡事件。这类悲剧接二连三地发生，充分说明“文明对话国际日”并非一个简单的标题，而是现实社会急需正视的重要命题。
“文明对话平台”的构建，前提是保障弱势群体的权利，并对强势群体加以适度限制，唯有如此，方能真正建立起平等的对话关系。如果弱者无法成为“平等的对话伙伴”，那么无论国家、企业、政府或家庭，都只是特权阶层的工具，与普通公民无关。当一个人无法被公平对待时，他自然不会心怀认同、珍惜与维护；相反，冷漠、抵触乃至破坏，都可能成为回应的不理性选择。
亲爱的公民们，是时候推动国家的文明进程了！国家文明的基石，是保障每一位公民的合法权利，促进彼此的理解与友谊，妥善化解社会矛盾与冲突。我们期望全体公民积极参与，共同搭建沟通桥梁，展现中华文明开放、包容的新时代风貌。
我们倡议：
做文明对话的践行者，以开放的心态去倾听、理解和尊重他人，推动平等、建设性的互动。弘扬中华文化“反者道之动”的智慧：通过社交平台分享日常中的“道之动”见闻，展示“反者”带来的文化多样性，以及中立、中间力量在维护社会平衡中的价值。成为包容社会的使者：从邻里、社区的交流做起，共建“美美与共”的精神家园。
为此，我们倡导以下具体行动：
1、自发组织或加入各类维权团体，参与建立并运营多元的对话平台；
2、若所在地政府已有相关平台建设，请积极参与由政府组织的各类活动；
3、根据个人时间与能力，选择参与特定项目，或线上、线下的部分活动；
4、公告发布之日起，面向社会招募志愿者。凡愿意公开留下联系方式者，视为“文明对话国际日”志愿服务者，承担推动当地沟通平台建设的桥梁角色。

International Day for Civilized Dialogue — Declaration (No. 1)
By: Civilized Dialogue Platform
Editor: Hu Lili · Final Editor: Luo Zhifei Translator: Lu Huiwen
Dear fellow citizens,
On this meaningful occasion of June 10, the International Day for Civilized Dialogue, voices are once again rising to call for the creation of genuine dialogue platforms in our society.
The recent experience of “Brother 800,” a 28-year-old textile worker from Yibin, Sichuan, has laid bare the severe lack of mechanisms for civil discourse. In pursuit of unpaid wages, he sought help from the local police, who referred him to the labor bureau. The labor bureau in turn sent him to the arbitration team, which advised him to go to court or appeal to the petition office. The court and petition authorities both claimed his case was too “minor” and could take a long time to process—and suggested he go back to the labor bureau. The labor bureau finally stated it was powerless and told him to report to the police.
This cycle of bureaucratic buck-passing left him with nowhere to turn. In despair, he resorted to an extreme act to denounce a system that offers no voice:
“If you won’t give me an answer, I’ll give you mine.”
In 2018, Chi Yonghui, a native of Cangzhou, Hebei, working in Shenzhen, also exploded in fury over withheld wages. He set fire to a factory, resulting in tragic loss of life. These repeated tragedies show that the International Day for Civilized Dialogue is not a mere slogan, but a pressing issue that our society must confront.
Building a Civilized Dialogue Platform must begin with protecting the rights of the vulnerable and applying appropriate limits to the power of the strong. Only then can true equality in dialogue be achieved. If the weak cannot become equal partners in conversation, then the state, enterprises, government, or even families become nothing more than instruments of the privileged—irrelevant to the average citizen.
When a person is not treated with fairness, they will not feel a sense of belonging, nor will they cherish or uphold the system. On the contrary, indifference, resistance, or even destruction may become their only irrational responses.
Dear citizens,
It is time to advance our nation’s journey toward civilization. The cornerstone of a civilized society is safeguarding every citizen’s legal rights, promoting mutual understanding and friendship, and resolving social conflicts through proper channels.
We call on all citizens to participate, to build bridges of communication, and to demonstrate the openness and inclusiveness of Chinese civilization in this new era.
Our Proposals:
Be practitioners of civilized dialogue:
Approach others with openness, listening, understanding, and respect.
Promote equal, constructive exchanges.
Promote the Chinese cultural wisdom of “Reversal is the movement of the Tao” (反者道之动):
Use social media to share daily moments of this “movement of the Tao,” reflect the diversity it creates, and highlight the role of centrist and neutral forces in maintaining social balance.
Be ambassadors for an inclusive society:
Begin with neighborhood and community interactions to co-create a spiritual home of harmony and mutual respect.
We call for the following concrete actions:
1. Organize or join civil rights groups, and help establish and run diverse dialogue platforms;
2. If local government platforms already exist, actively participate in their activities;
3. Based on your availability and ability, join specific projects or participate in online/offline events;
4. Starting from the date of this announcement, we are recruiting volunteers from the public.
Anyone who willingly provides their contact information is considered a volunteer for the International Day for Civilized Dialogue and will serve as a local bridge-builder for dialogue initiatives.

Let us work together to build a more just, rational, and understanding society—one step closer to a truly civilized new era.
