From the Kitchen to the Frying Pan

Song Meiling, Margaret Thatcher, Hilary Clinton

Narrator: Hello, readers, this is Listening to celebrities, a publication of Crazy English. In this Chapter, we will discuss Song Meiling, Margaret Thatcher and Hilary Clinton. The first chapter is entitled "from the Kitchen to the Frying Pan".

The first talk is by Song Meiling and these are excerpts from her very good speech to the U.S. Congress (February, 1943). This was part of a broader effort on the part of she and her husband (Chiang Kai - shek) to obtain the support of the American people and the American government for China, in China's fight against Japan. In fact most of the money, guns and food supplied by America was either taken for the Kuomintang leaders personal use or it was used to fight Mao. Only very little of this money was used against the Japanese. Nevertheless, this was however, an inspiring and great speech.
