ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, i am chinese。
i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind。 i’ve learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers。 i’ve learned about the great wall and the yangtze river。 i’ve learned about zhang heng and i’ve learned about zheng he。who says the yellow river civilization has vanished?i know that my ancestors have made miracles on this fertile land and we’re still making miracles。
who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world, that we have devised our own nuclear weapons, that we have successfully sent our satellites into space, and that our gnp ranks no。
we have reasons to say proudly: we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again, for our problems are big, but our ambition is even bigger, our challenges are great, but our will is even greater。
i am chinese。 i have inherited black hair and black eyes。 i have inherited the virtues of my ancestors。 i have also taken over responsibility。 i am sure, that wherever i go, whatever i do, i shall never forget that i am chinese!
