Gu Ailing's Harvard speech detonated the Internet: Chinese and American mixed-race people made it clear that China's heart will never change!
Recently, a speech by a Chinese-American mixed-race student set off a wave of enthusiasm at Harvard University. She is our Winter Olympic champion and youth ambassador Gu Ailing. At the opening ceremony of the 2024 World Development Forum, Gu Ailing not only greeted and thanked her fluent Chinese, but also clearly revealed her identity and position under the attention of everyone, which moved countless netizens.
Gu Ailing stood on the podium at Harvard, her every word, every word full of strength and determination. She said: "No matter where I am, my heart always belongs to China, I will make unremitting efforts for the honor of the motherland, and look forward to winning glory for the motherland again in the future Winter Olympics!" This sentence is like a heavy punch, hitting the hearts of the people, and people have to praise this XX-year-old girl.
Gu Ailing's achievement is not only to win gold and silver at the Winter Olympics, but also to prove to the world with her actions: no matter where she goes, she is a proud Chinese.
Her father is a top student at Harvard University in the United States, and her mother is a native of Beijing, so she has an international vision since she was a child. However, she did not lose her way because of her dual cultural background, but strengthened her Chinese heart.
In this speech, Gu Ailing not only showed her talent and charm, but also conveyed a profound message: no matter where we are, we should not forget our roots and soul. Her speech received bursts of applause, which was an affirmation of her and a recognition of the Chinese spirit she represented.
However, as Gu Ailing's speech spread rapidly on the Internet, it also sparked some controversy and heated discussions. Some netizens believe that the reason why Gu Ailing is so firmly indicating her Chinese nationality is because having Chinese nationality can bring more commercial benefits and honors.
In response to this view, I would like to say that we cannot look at a person's choices and positions only in terms of material interests. The reason why Gu Ailing so loves and proudly declares her Chinese identity is more because of her deep love and identification with this land and culture.
Some netizens mentioned that the United States allows dual citizenship, while our laws do not. They believe that opening up to cases like Gu Ailing could set a bad precedent. I think we should look at this issue from a broader perspective.
Although Gu Ailing has a bicultural background, she grew up and was educated in China, her roots are in China, and her heart is also in China. She chooses to fight for China and work for the honor of the country, which is her personal choice and her right. We should not dismiss her efforts and dedication because of some trivial issues.
Of course, there are also many people who expressed high appreciation and support for Gu Ailing's speech. They believe that although Gu Ailing grew up in the United States, she has always maintained a Chinese heart and is willing to make unremitting efforts for the honor of the motherland, which is a rare and admirable quality.
Some netizens said that Gu Ailing challenged the limit with her own actions and bravely faced various difficulties and challenges, which is worth learning and learning from.
In my opinion, Gu Ailing's speech is not only a simple statement, but also a demonstration of profound cultural identity and self-worth. She proved with her practical actions that no matter where she goes, she should never forget her roots and soul. Her success is not only a personal success, but also a manifestation of China's sports career and cultural self-confidence.
Gu Ailing's story tells us that a person's success depends not only on his talent and hard work, but also on his beliefs and positions. Only when we firmly identify with our own culture and love our homeland can we show our best selves on the international stage and win respect and recognition.
Finally, I would like to say that Gu Ailing is our pride and an example for us to learn. She used her practical actions to interpret what it means to be "patriotic" and what it means to "fight for the honor of the motherland". Let us praise Gu Ailing and applaud her success and dedication! At the same time, let us always remember that no matter where we go, our hearts should always belong to China!
In this era of multiculturalism, we should respect everyone's choices and positions. At the same time, we should also encourage more people to be like Gu Ailing, strengthen their beliefs and positions, and contribute their own strength to the prosperity and development of the motherland.
Only in this way can we truly achieve cultural exchange and integration, and make China's voice louder on the world stage.
Gu Ailing's speech is not only an expression of personal position, but also a cultural exchange and inheritance. She used her voice to convey the Chinese spirit and show the image of China. Let's cheer for this young girl and cheer her on for the future!
At the same time, let us continue to work hard to contribute to the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
