Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! I think it is a perfect

setting for my speech today because we have a mirror right here. And

this is my topic Mirror and I.

I like to look into the mirror. When I was a little girl, I stood on my toes trying to find my face in the mirror of the dressing table, which was nearly as high as I was. Now I still like to look into the mirror. When I look at it, I found the face of a young woman growing maturaty, confident in her future and still fascinated with her own reflection. The fact that I like to look into the mirror lies to my granny with whom I spent most of my childhood. I remember clearly that one night, I heard my granny murmuring, women can’t be seen, women can’t be seen. Ihe next morning I wen t to check into the mirror if I couldn’t deep see myself. Only now as a young woman myself, can I understand it was not the physical visibility that granny had in her mind. Granny spent all her life taking care of her family day in and day out. She cooked for her husband and ten children, but whenever guests came, she and other female family members had to eat by the stove in the small kichen. At family discussions, she was never asked for her opinion. When grandpa passed away, she had to

listen to my uncle, her elder son who became master of the house. Three years of tiol, she fulfills her duty as daughter, wife and mother it has a person she remained to be noticed. If she had seen herself in

the mirror of the dressing table, she was never visible in the mirror of the society.

I have been living a different life. At home, I made decisions together with the rest of the family. At school, I take charge of very opportunity the same as other boys and girls. Not only that, I can see something that granny has not dreamed of, to make decisions for my own future. I can choose from several competitive universities because I come out of high school. At university, I could choose from a range of subjects chaging from English literature to business law. And now upon gr aduation, I’m again faced the serious decisions to further my study or go to work; to stay in China or go abroad, to get married right away or remain single for a bit longer. It doesnot matter with their nod whether I become famous or rich, but I treasure the chance to demonstrate my potentials and to help other women demonstrate theirs as full members of society fully visible in the mirror of history. I will treasure it because there’s aboundance of

choices that I enjoy can only after decades of efforts made by my granny, my mum and millions of other Chinese women. However, the choice to be made by me and others of my generation is a great challenge. The misconception that men are superior to women is still dominating many people’s mind. While men in cour age to compete and to acertain themselves, we expected to be quiet, layal, and obedient. This is not very different from what is expected of us as good wives and good mothers.
