Soong Ching-ling's statement upon receiving the Stalin Peace Award 1951:
'It is a most profound honour of my life to be named among the winners of the Stalin Peace Prize. It is a privilege to be associated in the fight for peace with Stalin. For peace is what the people of the world want most. And Stalin is the name which personifies peace.
In accepting this most valued honour, I do so as a representative of the Chinese people. It has been their unrelenting revolutionary struggle which has placed the might of our nation on the side of peace. It has been their victory, in conjunction with the Socialist strides of the Soviet people and the courageous advances and stands of all other progressive elements, which has re-aligned the world for all time in favour of peace and people's rule.
The united front of all people today continues at a most intensified pace the fight to maintain the peace. The moneyed moguls of the United States and its satellites, befouling the word 'Peace' by claiming to act in its behalf are sustaining serious defeats. As a result, they have become mad. They would mercilessly destroy all peaceful construction, as they have trampled into dust the achievements of the valiant Korean people. They would fiendishly tear child from mother or destroy both, as they are doing in Korea, Malaya and other parts of the world. They would strap all mankind to their exploitative service, to be reduced to slaves and cannon fodder, as they are attempting to do at home, in Western Germany and Japan.'
Like they say, 'behind every successful man is a woman.' Funny how they normally tend to outlive their men and reap the rewards sown by them. Soong Ching-ling certainly did, from the documentary of her life. To be fair though, she did do a fair share of her part.
