At an honor ceremony held recently, US President Joe Biden mistakenly called her name "Yang Zi" when awarding the medal to the famous Chinese actress Michelle Yeoh. This slip of the tongue instantly caused a soft snicker from the audience, and also sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
Michelle Yeoh, a Malaysian-born Chinese actress, is internationally renowned for her profound acting skills and years of artistic contributions. She has played the leading role in many Hollywood films, including "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "007: Tomorrow's Empire", and is a non-negligible Asian face in the international film industry. This time, President Biden awarded her the Medal of Honor in recognition of her achievements in the performing arts and her contributions to promoting multicultural exchange.
However, during the award ceremony, when President Biden introduced Michelle Yeoh, he accidentally said her name to that of Chinese actor Yang Zi. This slip of the tongue not only embarrassed Michelle Yeoh herself, who was present, but also confused the audience who were familiar with the two artists. Despite the relaxed atmosphere and the audience's understanding of the mistake, the episode quickly garnered a lot of attention on social media.
For this mistake, President Biden immediately apologized to Michelle Yeoh and praised her as a true superstar. Michelle Yeoh, with her usual graceful demeanor, accepted the president's apology with a smile and said that it was an unforgettable experience.
This little episode did not affect the overall atmosphere of the ceremony, but added a touch of human interest. Netizens also generally looked at this incident with a humorous attitude, thinking that it was human nature, and some even joked that this may be a little drama specially created by President Biden in order to ease the tense atmosphere of the award.
Overall, while President Biden made a small slip of the tongue when presenting the award, Michelle Yeoh's professional achievements and contributions to culture are beyond doubt. This award ceremony is not only an affirmation of Michelle Yeoh personally, but also an encouragement to all Asian artists who are working hard in their respective fields, and this old man can be regarded as doing the right thing.
