Michelle touches hearts across ocean

The Chinese rarely show any interest in how citizens of the United States elect their president. It is our belief that this choice is solely that of the American people.

This year, though, we Chinese, much like many people living in the US, were moved by the speech that First Lady Michelle Obama delivered at the Democratic National Convention on Sept 4. Most of all, we liked it because it told moving stories about family and the country's struggles.

These sorts of household tales resonate well with the masses.
