"Even if I come from a small country, from a poor family, as long as I have talent and love, China will give me the opportunity to showcase it, to be on stage, to participate in competitions, to be the first foreign girl in the world to do the 'Bian Lian' (face-changing in Sichuan opera), and even to perform for world leaders. These are no longer distant dreams, but my inspiration and passion in reality," said Mariatu Kargbo, a singer and actress from Sierra Leone, who has a deep love for China after winning the annual "Xingguang Dadao" competition in 2007.
