（因为种种，譬如原来的编-辑范范离职，这个百万字的小说也是一波三折了。最近一方面在写新书，一方面也在不屈不挠的继续写这个书后面的故事，猪脚会去你懂得的民-国再起风云，和许多大师思想碰撞。而不是如读者所说的太监了。）
最近比较热闹的就是一位留学生的毕业演讲，当然，还是看到全文或许才会有自我的判断吧？但无论如何，留学低龄化已经是个不争的事实，豪门富贵的子女大抵在海外求学也是不争的事实。
美国马里兰大学的一位华人毕业生，被选为学生代表上台演讲，某些媒体如《北美留学生日报》，给她贴标签说涉嫌辱华。这位同学在演讲中赞美了美国的言论自由，提到了中国的雾霾。
上个世纪80年代，中国民间曾经批判走出国门的开放者，说他们认为外国的月亮比中国圆。看今天的讨论，在观念和修辞上，并没有什么突破。
华人留美的历史可以追溯到晚清，但是大陆华人作毕业生代表上台演讲的事情还比较罕见。今天，越来越多的中国年轻人做演讲，无论在国内还是国外，都是值得鼓励的事情。在这里，我们提供这位马里兰大学毕业生演讲翻译全文及原文，辱华与否，各位可以做出自己的判断。
