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. 7 in the world? we have experienced the plunders by other nations, and we have experienced the war. yet, based on such ruins, there still stands our nation----china, unyielding and unconquerable!
I once came across an american tourist. she said, “china has a history of five thousand years, but the us only has a history of 200 years. five thousand years ago, china took the lead in the world, and now it is the us that is leading.” my heart was deeply touched by these words. it is true that we’re still a developing nation, but it doesn’t mean that we can despise ourselves. we have such a long-standing history, we have such abundant resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people, and we have enough to be proud of. 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!
女士們，先生們，男孩和女孩，
我是一箇中國人。我感到自豪的是一箇中國的五千年文明的落後。我已經瞭解了四大發明提出我們的祖先。我瞭解長城和長江流域。我已經瞭解張衡，我學到了關於鄭和説，黃河文明已經消失？我知道我的祖先已在此奇蹟肥沃的土地和我們仍使奇蹟。誰可以忽視的事實是，我們已經建立了自己作為一個偉大的國家在世界上，我們已制定我們自己的核武器，我們已經成功發送的衞星送入太空，我們的國民生產總值排名第7的世界？我們經歷了掠奪其他國家，我們經歷了戰爭。然而，根據這些遺蹟，還有站在我們的國家——中國，不屈不撓的和不可戰勝的！
我曾經遇到一位美國遊客。她説：“中國的歷史五千年，但美國只有200多年的歷史。五千年前，中國率先在世界上，現在是美國，是領先的。“我的心被深深感動了這些話。這是事實，我們仍然是一個發展中國家，但它並不意味着我們可以看不起自己。我們有這樣一個長期的歷史，我們有這樣豐富的'資源，我們有這樣的智慧和勤奮的人民，我們有足夠的值得驕傲的地方。我們有理由自豪地説：我們一定要帶頭世界未來再次，我們的問題並不是很大，但我們的目標就是更大，我們的挑戰是巨大的，但是我們將是更大的。
我是一箇中國人。我繼承了黑頭髮，黑眼睛。我繼承的美德，我的祖先。我也採取了責任。我相信，只要我去，不管我做，我將永遠不會忘記，我是一箇中國人。
