最近，一段牛津大学辩论赛的视频火了！ 然而，不是因为辩论本身有多精彩 而是因为一名神秘的东方女辩手 用她独特的气质和美貌吸引了所有人的目光… 在主持人的介绍中 这位名叫Cecilia Zhao的华人辩手缓缓起身： 一袭性感的银色闪片晚礼服裙 精致的妆容和自信的姿态 迅速让全场安静下来。 在这场辩论里 Cecilia Zhao台风稳健、妙语连珠 关于辩题提出了许多强有力的观点 观看华裔美女辩手视频请戳↓ 然而许多歪果网友们表示： 全程看脸，完全不知道她在说啥！ ▼ '她真是太迷人了！' '她这么美，说什么都对！' 同时，也有许多网友对她的穿着表示不理解： ▼ '谁会穿成这样去参加辩论啊' 然而，不要只看到她的美貌， 其实这背后还有一段不为人知的经历 In 1998, Cecilia Zhao was born into an intellectual family in China. At the age when everyone else was watching cartoons, Cecilia exhibited an extraordinary facet of her traits. She always kept abreast of the current affairs and national events, craving for an access to a broader horizon.
At the age of 9, she made an astonishing decision that she was resolute to study abroad. Given the advantages that she was more mature and independent than her peers and that her cousin happened to live in Leeds in the UK, her parents decided to respect their daughter's thought after deliberate consideration and ultimately sent her to the UK so that she could be exposed to a different culture.
出国留学的人都知道，身在异国他乡 除了要学会一口流利的当地语言 更艰难的就是融入当地文化… 初到英国时Cecilia年仅9岁 孤身一人，半句英文都不会 在白人孩子眼里像个仓皇失措的异类 这种情况也许对很多人来说 能不受欺负、低调地学习生活已是幸事 但不服输的Cecilia决心迎接生活的挑战 勇敢走出自己的舒适区
她不仅要融入西方社会 也想让“优越”的白人知道： 刻板标签并不适用于每个人 华人也能大放异彩！
Cecilia一直是同学眼中的“大学霸”： She studied at Woodhouse Grove School, which focuses on students' all-round development and hence gathered students from many elite families in the UK. Even in such an elite school, Cecilia still ranked the top among all the students.
On average, high-school students choose three courses in the UK, but it is never easy to be distinguished in all these three courses. However, Cecilia chose six courses and more shockingly she obtained A in all these six courses.
这个成绩相当于国内高考的全国状元… 当时还被利兹市的媒体报道 那一年，Cecilia以全校第一的成绩 拿着最高荣誉奖学金 成为所在中学唯一一个考上牛津的学生 ——以华人的身份。
“全校越野队队长” “利兹市美式篮球队员” “牛津大学拳击队员” These titles and fame not only bring popularity to Cecilia, but also change the stereotype in the eyes of many Brits that Chinese aren't adept at sports.
考上牛津大学的Cecilia更是火力全开 她有野心、也有规划 她要不断挑战自己的极限 打破华人在顶尖高校中弱势的局面！
Oxford Union is the most prestigious debate union in the world, which influences not only Oxford University, but also the globe. It is therefore reckoned as the ultimate fortress of freedom of speech in the western world.
然而这个有着195年历史的组织 却带着些有色眼镜 它一开始不录取女性 尤其是亚裔女性，更是难以上位。 Cecilia从踏入牛津校门开始 就决定要进入牛津辩论学会。
选举只有一天， 但她用了一个学期时间准备。 大一第一个学期 她以高票成功竞选为辩论学会委员 第二个学期，她开始竞选常委。 当时参加竞选的有13个人 大部分都是白人男性 而她作为唯一的女性 以领先第二名几十张票入选， 更是迄今为止， 中国女性在牛津辩论学会里 能走到的最高位置！
