Why are first ladies so important in the United States? They are unpaid and have no official work? There are several reasons, but the most important reason is that they are role models for other women in the United States.
Jacqueline Kennedy was the best first lady in the US. Although she wasn't an actress, model or singer, she was a fashion and cultural icon(文化偶像) who charmed people wherever she went.
If you are looking for someone who is as charming as Jacqueline Kennedy, it will be hard to find anyone more suitable than Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping. If you were writing a novel and trying to describe the perfect mixture of personal history, capabilities, confident lady for a character, you'd come up with someone like Peng.
Born into a family in Shandong province, she joined the People's Liberation Army(中国人民解放军) at the age of 18, doing pretty well in singing military(军旅) songs. But she is not only famous for her voice and great achievements, but also for her charity efforts. She has, among other things, worked as a member of World Health Organization to fight against AIDS, and has done much for 2008 Sichuan earthquake.
The media(媒体) reported Peng’s trip with her husband. This was Xi’s first foreign trip as president. The trip shows that she can be a role model for Chinese women, especially young Chinese women at home and abroad.
