英语演讲稿范文：Yes，We can

 This is for my people who just lost somebody, your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady. Lift your head to the sky, we will never say bye.

These are words of the song Bye-Bye. Every time when I hear it, I’ll always lose myself in grief¹ recalling² the tough time we came through in 2008.

The snow storm, the Tibet issue, the obstruction³ to the Olympic torch relay⁴，the earthquake……Time dates back to the day the horrible earth quake occurred in Sichuan, tens of thousands of people lost life and families. I’ll never forget those days I sat front of the TV, moved by people never gave up under ruins even there’s little hope to survive. I’ll never forget those days most newspapers and websites were all in black and white. I’ll never forget those days I had my black coat on, writing down my best wishes to the suffering people.

At the same time, I also remember those days my friends abroad told me that they joined in the protest⁵ against western world’s bias⁶ on China and the fight against the Tibetan separatists. I can still remember the day when I went to see the torch relay at Hangzhou with heart shaped stickers on cheek. I wore the T-shirt with words Light the Passion, Light the Dream . When the torch passed by, we cheered Go China, Go Beijing, sang the national anthem⁷ again and again, waving flags, dancing, hugging, clapping.

It was the opening ceremony of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games which shocked the whole world and told the entire human Yes, we can.

Yes, we can, because we are united and brave

Yes, we can because we have trust and love

Yes, we can because we are the member of the great nation China
