Several years ago, I was in a summer camp in America. At first, I wasn’t dare to speak. But luckily, there was a talent show. So, I got up my courage, took a deep breath, and I started. The music was a hit. Other foreign kids were so interested in the gorgeous Chinese traditional music. I eventually started talking, telling them about this music, about the beautiful love story of liangzhu, about many other beauties in Chinese culture.
That’s how my English story begins. After that, I found my passion to speak. Sharing Chinese culture encourages me to practice my English. Nowadays, we need better understanding between each other around the globe, just like the debate between journalist Liuxin and Trish Regan recently. As a young speaker, I feel desired and even responsible to tell others about our country. That’s what leads me on the way of learning English, from China to the world.
几年前我在美国夏令营时，非常怕开口说英语。幸运的是，当时有一个风采展示，我鼓起勇气，深呼吸，拿起自己的乐器，开始演奏。外国朋友对我的中国传统乐器和音乐非常感兴趣，这也激发了我开始用英语对话，开启了我的英语学习之路。我越来越对英语演讲感兴趣，分享中国文化也锻炼了我的英语能力。现在，国际交流越来越多，作为一名演讲者，我感受到了向世界介绍中国的责任，这也将继续激励我坚持英语学习。

郜钰萌在视频中演奏的歌曲是《梁祝》（The Butterfly Lovers），歌曲源自于中国国家级非物质文化遗产《梁山伯与祝英台》，中国戏曲一直广泛演绎着这个美丽的故事，它曾在不同时期被越剧、京剧、川剧、豫剧、黄梅戏、粤剧、歌仔戏等数十个剧种演绎。
梁祝纯音乐 - 梁祝宝典
1953年，越剧《梁山伯与祝英台》被拍摄成为新中国首部彩色电影，并跟随周总理远赴日内瓦，其“东方的罗密欧与朱丽叶”式的东方诗意和浪漫，曾将世界喜剧大师卓别林深深吸引。
今天一起来走进《梁祝》的世界。
梁祝 The Butterfly Lovers
This beautiful love story occurred in Shangyu, Zhejiang.The young woman Zhu Yingtai disguised herself as a young man to attend a school in Hangzhou.
During her journey to Hangzhou, she met Liang Shanbo, a fellow traveler and a schoolmate. They became good friends and sworn ‘brothers’.
They studied together for the next three years in school, and Zhu gradually fell in love with Liang.
One day, Zhu was summoned home by her father. Liang accompanied her for 18 miles to see her off. She tried several times to hint to him her identity and love for him during the journey, but Liang did not catch any of her hints.
Zhu finally came up with an idea, and told Liang that she would act as a matchmaker between him and her ‘twin sister’ at home. Before they parted, Zhu reminded Liang to visit her residence later so he could propose to marry her ‘sister’.
Months later, when Liang visited Zhu, he discovered that she was actually a woman. The joy of their reunion was short-lived as Zhu’s parents have be trothed her to the frivolous son of the powerful and wealthy Ma family. Liang was heartbroken when he heard the news. His health gradually deteriorated until he became critically ill, and died in grief.
Zhu was stricken with sorrow. She came to Liang’s tomb to mourn, when the whipping winds and thunder storms split the tomb in two where upon Zhu threw herself into it.
While the winds died down, two butterflies were seen flitting away to the heavens.
This timeless story of the eternal love has been chanted ever since by the Chinese people from generation to generation.
