Peng Liyiian, First Lady of China, made a speech in English at the United Nations on September 26, 2015. She talked about education and shared her Chinese dream with the world.
Peng began her speech with a story of her father. Her father grew up in a small village in China. In those days, not many villagers could read, so her father opened a night school to teach them. With his help, many people learned to write their names and read newspapers for the first time. And many women were able to teach their children how to read. Peng's father's love for education influenced her deeply. She was lucky enough to have a good education. Later, she followed her father's footsteps and became a professor of music.
Education is important, but still, some children in China can't go to school. Peng hopes that all children can have a good education, and that is her Chinese dream.
