After We Are All Fighters, the first English inspirational speech video against COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) came out, in just a few days, the video was played nearly 600,000 times on the platform, was praised by hundreds of thousands of Chinese and foreign netizens (网民), and was also reproduced by many media (媒体). The speech in the form of a poem was written in Chinese and English by Liu Jie from Shenzhen.

    Liu Jie said, "When I see the increasingly serious epidemic (流行病) situation make our country and hundreds of millions of people in great danger, my heart ache. I think maybe language can give us the hope, confidence and courage to keep fighting. I also write in English because I hope we can not only show our countrymen, we can also let those in other countries who care about us and help us or don't care about China see that we have the spirit, history and determination(决心) to win!"

    In the speech, she says, "This is a war without smoke/ and we are all fighters/... Our people may get sick/ our city may get sick/ but we as a brave nation/ will never ever get sick/... / We've been on this planet for over 5,000 years/ We've witnessed (见证) much darker moments/...We've always stood back up on our feet/ We've always won in the end/ And we will definitely (肯定) win this time/...No matter how strong our enemy was/ Or how impossible it seemed to win/ We just kept fighting/ Because we are all fighters!" How encouraging her words are! We really feel the blood boiling after listening.

    Also, this speech is also a good material for practicing listening and speaking. Practice has shown that it's a good way to improve speaking while listening to and reading a speech.
