Language of the heart

This little boy, Malite, is reciting part of a Tang poem by Meng Jiao, titled 'You Zi Yin' (游子吟). This is one of the poems we performed in primary school as part of the Chinese Club.

Perhaps because I learnt the poems as songs, I can remember them well, even till now.

This poem can be found here

If you talk to a man in a language he understands,

that goes to his head.

If you talk to him in his language,

that goes to his heart.”

- Nelson Mandela
