On one occasion, the class had to discuss historical issues. She carefully collected information, thought carefully and made full preparations.
At the seminar, an American student stood up to speak. He said: "I think the development of history is hard to estimate. You see, those so-called ancient civilizations, such as China in Asia, have been eliminated by history. The hope of the people lies in Europe and America. We have it here. "
At this time, Soong Ching Ling, sitting in the front row, shook her head disapprovingly. She frowned and listened patiently to her American classmates. Soong Ching Ling stood up as soon as the classmate finished speaking. The classroom was immediately quiet. Soong Ching Ling seemed a little excited, but she still said in a soft voice: "History is changing, but it will always belong to hundreds of millions of people.
China, with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, has not been wiped out, and it cannot be wiped out. Some people say that China is like a sleeping lion, but it will never sleep. One day, the roar of the East Asian sleeping lion will shake the whole world.
Because it has vast land, hardworking people, long history, rich products and countless revolutionaries, it is working hard for its revitalization! "There was a big round of applause in the classroom.
Everyone complimented each other: "Well said, convince people with reason." "How powerful these words are!"
Although Soong Ching Ling is abroad, she always pays attention to the domestic situation. She often says to her classmates, "I can't forget China. I am full of ideals and hopes for my motherland! "
Extended data:
Soong Ching Ling also used her spare time to sketch flowers and animals. Soong Ching Ling loved music, especially playing the piano, until he was 80 years old. After a hard day's work, she often plays the piano in the bedroom (she never plays in public) and hums some songs that she listens to her father sing as a rest.
In the former residences of Soong Ching Ling in Shanghai and Beijing, in addition to some new patriotic revolutionary songs, there are many songbooks left by her father, including "Youth Hymn of the First Methodist Church in Nashville" (printed in 1907, signed "C. J.Soong, Shanghai" [Charlie Song, Shanghai]) and "Chorus and Loneliness".
Soong Ching Ling has a soft spot for cooking. Soong Ching Ling's mother (Ni) taught her the skills and fun of cooking American food. In her long and outstanding life, Soong Ching Ling sometimes wears an apron and tries new recipes sent by foreign friends. When she is in Beijing, she will ask visiting foreign friends what they like to eat, and then unexpectedly cook some "home cooking" for them.
The New York Times's encyclopedic cookbooks and other recipes with various flavors are still preserved on the bookshelf of Beijing's former residence. Even in America, there are Jewish cookbooks and recipes called "Pennsylvania Dutch Cuisine".
