My Life Story
By Li Yang
I was born in a poor family in Jiangsu.
I grew up with my grandparents.
Because my parents chose to work in Xinjiang to serve the country right after they graduated from university.
My mother just came back to Jiangsu to give birth to me, and then returned to Xinjiang.
My parents were busy working everyday.
They were very devoted to their country.
They had no time for me.
我出生在江苏一个贫困的家庭。
我跟着外公外婆一起长大。
因为我父母大学毕业后志愿去了新疆工作，为国家效力。
我母亲只是回到江苏生下了我，就又回新疆去了。
我父母每天都忙于工作。
他们将全身心献给了国家。
他们没有时间照顾我。
I was an extremely shy and introverted child.
I had no confidence in myself at all.
I was ashamed of my appearance.
I was a terrible student.
I had few friends.
My mother beat me severely.
So I hated her very much.
I wanted to hit her back.
But I didn’t dare.
Because I had nowhere else to go.
我那时是个极端害羞和内向的小孩子。
我对自己一点信心都没有。
我为自己的外表感到羞愧。
我是个很糟糕的学生。
我几乎没有任何朋友。
我母亲打我打得很重。
所以我非常恨她。
我想回手打她。
但我不敢。
因为我没有别的地方可去。
I wanted to be good.
But I just didn’t how.
I wanted to be excellent.
I wanted to be successful.
I wanted to do something great.
I had big dreams.
But I had no one to help me!
No one could teach me.
I was really lonely.
I didn’t know whom to turn to.
My parents simply didn’t like me and didn’t understand me.
My childhood was a nightmare.
I felt so bad about myself.
Even now I don’t like to think about it.
我想表现好点。
但我不知道怎么办。
我想成为优秀的人。
我想成功。
我想做一些伟大的事。
我也有远大的梦想。
但我找不到人帮我。
没人能教我。
我那时非常孤独。
我不知道该去找谁。
我父母就是不喜欢我，也不了解我。
我的童年是个恶梦。
我对自己感觉很糟。
就算是现在我也不愿回想起我的童年。
My life was like this for ten years.
Things only started to change when I decided to learn English in 1988.
I created my own way of learning English.
I called it Crazy English.
Crazy English totally changed my life.
我的人生就这样过了十年。
只是到了1988年我下决心学英语时，我的生活才开始改变。
我创造了我自己的一套学英语的方法。
我把它称之为疯狂英语。
疯狂英语完全改变了我的人生。
In the past ten years, I’ve been travelling all over China to promote this method of learning English.
It has helped millions of people.
It has changed countless people’s lives.
I’m sure it will change your life too.
在过去的十年中，我走遍全中国推广这种学习英语的方法。
它帮助了成百上千万的人。
它改变了无数人的人生。
我相信它也一定会改变你的人生。
How I wish I had been born into a different family.
How I wish my parents had known how to raise kids.
How I wish I had met a great teacher when I was young.
How I wish I had had someone to turn to for advice when I was puzzled.
That’s why I’m determined to devote all my life to real education!
I’m going to spend the rest of my life making sure other people don’t have to struggle the way I did.
我多希望我是出生在一个不同的家庭。
我多希望我父母懂得怎样培养孩子。
我多希望我年轻时候能遇上一个伟大的老师。
我多希望那时当我迷惘时能有人给我以指点。
这就是我决心献身真正的教育事业的原因！
我将用我的余生帮助别人摆脱我所经历过的痛苦。
I don’t care about being famous.
I don’t care about making money.
I only care about helping others.
I only care about improving myself.
I will make a difference in this world!
But I know I still have a long way to go.
Please join me to give our kids the best education possible.
我不在乎我是否出名。
我不在乎我是否赚钱。
我只在乎能帮到别人。
我只在乎能提高我自己。
我要让这世界有所不同
但我知道我还有很长的路要走。
请加入我的行列，给我们的孩子们最好的教育。
Improving yourself, transcending yourself!
Helping other people, influencing other people!
This is our goal. This is our destiny.
This is our mission. This is our life.
提高自我，超越自我！
帮助他人，影响他人！
这是我们的目标。这是我们的命运。
这是我们的使命。这是我们的人生。
