What would you choose to represent your country at an international exhibition?

If I was asked to send one thing representing our country to an international exhibition I will choose an object that must to be distinctive, full of Chinese culture and loved by our national people. Therefore, a piece of cheongsam would be a perfect choice.  

First, the cheongsam contributes women beauty. Cheongsam is a kind of female dress with distinctive Chinese feature. It fits well the female Chinese stature. Its neck is high, collar is closed and sleeves may be either short or long. Unlike other normal dresses the cheongsam is buttoned on the right side with a loose chest, a fitting waist. All of these were combined to set off the beauty of the female shape. It creates an impression of charm, elegance and neatness.  

Moreover, The cheongsam has a long history. It has appeared in China for more than two hundred years. The name ˜heongsam?simply meaning ˜ong dress?is known as ˜ipao? It originated from a Chinese minority whose women normally wore a type of dress which, likewise, came to be called ˜ipao? With the improvement, the cheongsam has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.  

Today, the cheongsam shows its charm in many markets. For instance, when wives of China`s politicians, movie stars attend important social gatherings, a piece of cheongsam is their first choice among dresses. Now, the cheongsam is so much loved by women not only of China but also of foreign countries. If you are touring in China, I will strongly suggest you to purchase a piece of cheongsam for your wife, which must to be the best gift.  

I will sent a piece of cheongsam to the international exhibition in respect that as a Chinese woman, in my heart the cheongsam represents beauty, and it is a vibrant part of Chinese culture.
