Who are the parents of the international student who said that the air in America is a little sweet?
Recently, Yang Shuping, an international student from China, was invited to give a speech at the graduation ceremony of the University of Maryland, which is something to be proud of. However, the content of her speech made the students in China feel extremely embarrassed, and it was even more surprising to spread it to China.

As an international student, I feel very honored to be invited by the president to give a graduation speech in front of all teachers and students at the graduation ceremony. We should be proud of outstanding international students. However, at the recent graduation ceremony of the University of Maryland, China student Charityi Yang's graduation speech made China students feel very embarrassed and angry.

Her speech revolved around two main points:

The air in China is filthy, but the air in the United States is so good that she is extremely surprised. She said: "The air in America is so sweet and fresh, which is a strange luxury."

China has no freedom. Only in America can she realize what freedom is. In America, she can say whatever she wants and do whatever she wants. She even said, "The life and freedom I learned in China history class are meaningless to me".

In her speech, all the remarks she made were China that Americans saw in the street tabloids every day-full of prejudice and arrogance. With superb speech skills, Charityi Yang endorsed these tabloids in front of all the teachers and students in the school, once again amplifying the prejudice of Americans against China. Not only is the tone full of "worshipping foreign things and admiring foreign things", but she even ignores some basic facts. She graduated from Kunming No.1 Middle School and was certified by Weibo. The air quality in Kunming is not what she said. The remarks that reversed right and wrong made many netizens express anger:

In the circle of friends of foreign students, the students present expressed their dissatisfaction with the school arrangement:

In this regard, Zhu, former chairman of the China Student Union of the University of Maryland, said, "It is absolutely intolerable to gain eyeballs by slandering the motherland. It is not only thoughtless for universities to support such unfounded offensive remarks at graduation ceremonies, but also makes people wonder if there are other intentions. I hope this little girl can take care of herself. If she loses face, she has to wear a mask when she goes out in the United States. "
