Letters and Blogs: A letter to new US president

Hello, Mr President Barack Obama:

My name is Raymond Zhou, and I'm a bilingual writer in the People's Republic of China. First of all, let me congratulate you on becoming the 44th president of the USA.

You symbolize a new hope, an optimism that goes beyond the US and is shared by people all over the world. Your youthful energy, your eloquence, your global vision and even your ethnicity are all things that fascinate us. Your success story is so inspiring that books about you and by you are instant best-sellers here.
