According to our Chinese proverb, I am like a tubie, a soft shell of turtle, someone afraid to go out and take risks. Now, I am standing here, terrified even as we speak, but as my friend once said, some things are so important that they force us to overcome our fears.
按中国的说法,我就是一个“土鳖”,害怕走出去,害怕承担风险。此刻,我站在这里,就在我们说话的时候,我仍然不免害怕。但就像我的朋友曾说过的,总有一些事情是如此重要,逼迫我们战胜恐惧。
