CHINESE: MY TRUE LOVE
“汉语—我的真爱” is a speech written and delivered by Michelle Maridiyah Abu (安娜) in the just ended Chinese Bridge Competition. The speech describes Michelle’s personality, her Chinese study journey and how she met her true love – Chinese.
The speech begins with Michelle introducing herself as a third year Chinese student of the University of Ghana and one who finds love in Chinese study. Before her study of Chinese, 安娜 never believed that true love existed. Deciding to read Chinese turns out to be her gateway to true love.
Initially, choosing to read Chinese seems like a farce to her because she has never studied the language before. She has only heard of it through movies and songs. But when she starts to study the language, she develops a unique kind of love for it and discovers the mysteries and hidden beauties within the language.
Choosing to love Chinese becomes a very tough decision for 安娜 as this decision is accompanied by ridicule from friends. The entire love journey also turns out to be a very difficult since it requires dedication, perseverance and hard work. The laughter and ridicule from friends serves as a form of motivation for Michelle as she sets out to show the world that her love (Chinese) is the best.
In the latter part of the speech, 安娜 describes her future job aspiration. She aspires to be a renowned lawyer in a Chinese firm. She believes that her Chinese study and love for the language would take her far and lead her to stand out and be the best wherever she goes. She ends the speech by professing her love for Chinese.
