Facing this audience on the stage, I have the exciting feeling ofparticipating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more thana mere competition or contest. It is an assembly of some of China's mosttalented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that arepreparing themselves for the coming of a new century.
I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity, at such a historicmoment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious lookback at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for thisnation as well.
Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, andonly a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the root ofa spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past15 years.
In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who workedvery hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.
The teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected alot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to evadeher so as to get more time to enjoy myself.
One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, "Could youplease explain this to me? I want very much to do better this time. " I startedexplaining, and finished in a hurry. Pretending not to notice her still confusedeyes, I ran off quickly. Nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of herdeath of blood cancer. No one ever knew about the little task I failed tofulfill, but I couldn't forgive myself. I simply couldn't forget her eyes, whichseem to be asking, "Why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was soeasy for you? Why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you,so that I would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?"
I was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was thevery starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word"responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly,for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need andtrust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the veryfoundation of 
human society.
Later in my life, I continued to experience many failures. But never againdid I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes myheart satisfied to think that I have always done everything in my power tofulfill my responsibilities as best I can.
As I grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similarones, I began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find thatsociety, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. New buildings, newcommodities and new fashions appear every day.
ew ideas, new information, new technologies. People can talk with eachother from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. Society is becomingmore competitive.
Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and morepeople are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. Such is the era in whichthis generation ,grows and matures.
uch is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from ourfathers and learn to run it. Yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.
We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of peoplelooking on and not assisting. We hear that there are still about 1 millionchildren in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools whileenormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxurycars.
We buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines,that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many peoplebelieve, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at theexpense of morality and responsibility.
uch an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keenersense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think criticallyand act creatively.
uch an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clearperception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to takeaction and solve the problems. History has long been preparing these qualitiesin this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to ourpatriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.
tanding here now, I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinarystudent. Probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. But thisdoesn't discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of responsibility anddevoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningfuland worthwhile life that I will be living.
tanding here now, I think of the past 15 years of this nation, which hasachieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom willnot attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered byposterity. But that doesn't discourage us any, because we know that the worldwatches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation willbe heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.
I can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the sameopportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopefulworld tomorrow.
It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to thechallenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom andpassion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier landfor every one of us.
We are not going to evade that responsibility. We are going to let peopledown. And people, far and near, will hear of us. Frost will be brought to theirbackbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, So letus go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet thenew century in victory and glory.

i am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as thegreatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we standtoday, signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as agreat beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared inthe flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the longnight of their captivity.
ut one hundred years later, the negro still is not free. one hundred yearslater, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles ofsegregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negrolives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of materialprosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languished in thecorners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. and sowe've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
in a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when thearchitects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution andthe declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to whichevery american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men, yes,black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable rights" of"life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." it is obvious today that americahas defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color areconcerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given thenegro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficientfunds."
ut we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse tobelieve that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity ofthis nation. and so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give usupon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind america of the fierceurgency of now. this is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or totake the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. now is the time to make real thepromises of democracy. now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valleyof segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to lift ournation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.now is the time to make justice a reality for all of god's children.
it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment.this sweltering summer of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pauntilthere is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. nineteen sixty-three isnot an end, but a beginning. and those who hope that the negro needed to blowoff steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nationreturns to busineas usual. and there will be neither rest nor tranquility inamerica until the negro is granted his citizenship rights. the whirlwinds ofrevolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright dayof justice emerges.
ut there is something that i must say to my people, who stand on the warmthreshold which leads into the palace of justice: in the proceof gaining ourrightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. let us not seek tosatisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterneand hatred.we must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity anddiscipline. we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physicalviolence. again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meetingphysical force with soul force.
the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negro community must notlead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, asevidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destinyis tied up with our destiny. and they have come to realize that their freedom isinextricably bound to our freedom.
we cannot walk alone.
and as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always marchahead.
we cannot turn back.
there are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "when will yoube satisfied?" we can never be satisfied as long as the negro is the victim ofthe unspeakable horrors of police brutality. we can never be satisfied as longas our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in themotels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. we cannot be satisfied aslong as a negro in mississippi cannot vote and a negro in new york believes hehas nothing for which to vote. no, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not besatisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousnelike a mightystream.

Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen,
y the time we are born onto this land, our own Chinese story begins. Only when we put our stories together, can we discover something new.
My mom was among the first generation in China to pick up a dual major, trade together with English. Her mom, my grandma, was a professor at the same college. And now, I am following my family’s footsteps, at the same university. I want to accomplish a dream that has been passed on for three generations.
When grandma entered college, she was in the age of prime, but education wasn’t. It was an age when China had a literacy of merely over 50 percent; it was an age when one out of eight got enrolled by a university or college; it was an age when even the top-class universities in China were not recognized by the world. It was with the aspiration of changing education for the better that my grandma became a teacher, in pursuit of teaching students at home and learning more about the abroad.
When my mother crossed the threshold of higher education into college, she was experiencing the tides of the Reform and Opening-up. It was an age when China was ready to embrace the world. With the demand for English talents staying high, she brought her talents to the field of international trade, with the hope of broadening her horizon and telling her international clients a Chinese story.
30 years later, it is already a new era when I step into the classroom where my mom and my grandma studied. The ambience in the renovated classroom is urging me to embark on a new journey; yet on the bookshelf, the books passed on since my grandma’s age is reminding me of a dream that has never changed: becoming a language scholar with a global vision, and be a good narrator of the Chinese story.
I took out my grandma’s notebook, which was already old and gray, trying to learn something new from the past. On the frontpage, wrote one of the earliest Chinese stories, taken from the Great Learning: “If you can do something new, then let it happen every day. With perseverance, every day becomes a new day.”
It was the moment when I realized that there has been something unchanged in the new era: that is always equipping ourselves with the new ideas and keep in pace with the time which never waits. Only by bearing this virtue in our minds that has inherited by the Chinese people for 5,000 years, can we gain both the confidence and the competence in telling a good Chinese story to all.
Tell the Chinese story to the Chinese people, for a new China with cultural confidence; tell the Chinese story to every global citizen, and together we build a community of prosperity, peace, and a shared future. The story of my mom, my grandma and myself will always remind me of the mission of a language learner.
I’m now crossing the threshold into a New Era, and now I fell I am ready to tell a new Chinese story to new audience. Thank you very much!

From Walls to Bridges
I'm studying in a city famous for its walls. All visitors to my city areamazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sunwith gold and shining lines. With old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, thewalls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting thecity.
Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi'an,Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakesthrough half of our country. They built walls to ward off enemies and evilspirits. This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have manyparks and schools walled off from the public. I grew up at the foot of the citywalls, and I've loved them since my childhood. For a long time, walls were oneof the most natural things in the world.
My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs,a scenic area of my city. My classmates and I were walking with someinternational students. As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flankedby taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads. Suddenlyan international student asked me, "Where is the entrance to the EasternSuburbs?"
quot;We're already in the Eastern Suburbs," I replied.
He seemed taken aback, "I thought you Chinese have walls for everything."His remark set off a heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled citiesto "jails," while I insisted that the Eastern Suburbs were one of the manyplaces in China that had no walls.
That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this internationalstudent. For instance, he told me that universities like Oxford and Cambridgewere not surrounded by walls; the campuses were just part of the cities. I haveto admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing ourcountry, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical orintangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede China'sdevelopment.
Let me give you an example.
A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on businesslaw and found a copy in the law school library. However, the librarian turneddown my request with a cold shoulder, saying, "You can't borrow this book, youare not a student here." In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy;meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf.
At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university has startednot only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of otheruniversities, so my experience will not be repeated. Barriers will be replacedby bridges. Through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to booksfrom any library. With globalization, with China integrated into the world, Ibelieve many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.
I know globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to saywhether it is good or bad. But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention toChina's tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their roles inthe modern world.
And how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities? Should we tearthem down? Just the opposite. My city, like Beijing and other cities, isactually making a great effort to preserve the walls. These walls attract notonly historians and archeologists but also many schoolchildren trying to studyour history and cultural heritage. Walls have 
turned into bridges to our pastand to the rest of the world. If the ancient builders of these walls were stillalive today, they would be proud to see such great change in the role of theirwalls. They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and allcountries of the world. Our cultural heritage will survive globalization.
