　　Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela supported

　　reconciliation and negotiation, and helped lead the transition towards multi-racial democracy in South Africa. Since the end of apartheid, many have frequently praised Mandela, including former opponents. Mandela has received more than one hundred awards over four decades, most notably the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. He was

　　chosen as the present of South Africa in 1994.This speech was his inaugural address speech.

　　The night of South Africa lasted too long. Since the 17th century, western colonizers and their descendants to take possession of this beautiful and fertile land lawfully vigorously implemented the apartheid system. Especially after the fifties in this century, white regime put the use of penalties and punishments to the top of the system. Meanwhile, the white dictator’s perverse acts were resisted by the majority of black, scorned and imposed long-term sanctions by the international community as well. The abused blacks fought for freedom and national equality for three centuries, and finally gained the power of multi-racial elections in a peaceful way. On May 10th, 1994, the famous black movement leader Nelson Mandela was sworn as President of the new democratic South Africa.

　　In this remarkable historical moment, Mandela, standing at the microphone, published his stirring human hearts inaugural address.

　　The speech successfully set a emotional tone with mingled happiness and sadness. At that time, for one hand, the miserable blacks were full of excitement, with their broken hearts; for another hand, the whites who had conscious repented their unhappy past, though the stubborn whites left. Long-term isolation having become the past,

　　South Africa restored dignity, but racial barriers and the same racial discriminations cannot be immediately eliminated. Feelings of South Africa’ people were extremely complex. The whole world contemplating it was also surprise and excited. As the first president in the new South Africa, who has lived in prison for 27 years and struggled for the whole life, Mandela filled with emotions. Facing this audience, the speaker was neither condemning past nor praising peace. It was sad without angry and happy without crazy. What’s more, the mingled feelings caused the broadest vibe.

　　The speaker focused on national reconciliation, unity and reconstruction, dealing with misfortunes intellectually, doing away with ultra words. The grief and resentment stayed in audience’s heart for a long time, but words are very quiet and nice, which let us have a lingering aftertaste. Mandela used “us” to contain different races, and omitted the contradictory procedure but stressed the results, being cautious and politely telling the desire of reconciliation, which of course pleasant and acceptable. Today, South Africa has become a wealthy and powerful country. With the coming of the 20xx World Cup, she will become better and better!
