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.
按中國的說法,我就是一個“土鱉”,害怕走出去,害怕承擔風險。此刻,我站在這里,就在我們說話的時候,我仍然不免害怕。但就像我的朋友曾說過的,總有一些事情是如此重要,逼迫我們戰勝恐懼。
