My Country Trains Me to be a Technical Expert

The thought that I, the daughter of poverty-stricken peasants, unable to tell A from B, have now become a revolutionary fighter and shall one day be a technician, taking part in the economic construction of our nation, makes me so excited that sometimes I lie awake at night. Sometimes I cannot believe that it is really true. But true it is, and as true as daylight. Guided and advised by the school authorities, I have recently made up my mind to take a course in chemical engineering next term, so that some day I may be a chemical engineer! When I think of this, I cannot help being grateful to the Chinese Communist Party and to Chairman Mao. Had it not been for them I would never have seen such days!
