“Next competitor—Li Jielin, from Hubei Province.” I knew my moment came.
I stepped onto the stage, dressed in pure white and tried all the best to display calm and confidence.
This was my last round of a nationwide recitation competition, but what came with me till the last was nothing but despair. I was feeling depressed because I just couldn’t get myself into the character again as I was just days before. I pondered and practiced, on and on, with my mother’s encouragement all around, still, I felt only awkward imitation.
All this came to a sudden halt as I was finally with my both feet on the stage, facing five judges who seemed to be strict and reserved.
The music started as planned, and lines began to flow out of my mouth, precisely but unconsciously. The first few paragraphs went on smoothly. Then, suddenly, I blurted out a line which should take place in the next section. Good Lord! How can I make such a mistake? Should I start it all over again, or should I assume nothing has happened? The air was freezing, my teeth were trembling, some audience were whispering and I was searching for the signals from the faces of the judges. Nothing did I find but shadows in dark and silence.
At this point, things could not be worsened. I told myself, why not just give myself a show time? Why not just let the rules go and be myself, be the poor girl? I’ve been preparing for this competition for long enough, I want to make it worthwhile!
I released all the emotion, and wiped out all the fears. I saw the poor girl again, tears rolling down freely down my face. I was the girl lying in bed crying for her departed little sister.
A thunder of applause woke me up from the heart-tearing fate of the girl. I found my mother waving her arms to me with a bunch of lilies and a big smile.
To my surprise, I won the first prize! I still couldn’t believe it even when the medal was hanging over my neck. But according to the comments from judges, I was “naturally and vividly representing the character, though there were minor mistakes.”
Now I understand that mistakes were not that scaring. They can be conversed to great powers which inspire us to explore the dreadful but beautiful wonderland. Challenges will never beat us but help us grow stronger.
