English: 80 years ago today, Soong Mei-ling addressed the United States House of Representatives. In her speech, she applauded American efforts in the Pacific theater of the World War II. She also recounted the friendship between the U.S. and China: "We in China, like you, want a better world, not for ourselves alone, but for all mankind, and we must have it." Her visit also was meant to convey appreciation for the American Lend-Lease program, which supplied war materials to sustain the Chinese resistance effort.
She was reportedly the first Asian woman to address a joint session of the US Congress. Čeština: Před 80 lety, uprostřed světové války, byla první dáma tehdejší Čínské republiky Sung Mej-ling první ženou, která vystoupila před členy Sněmovny reprezentantů Spojených států amerických s cílem přesvědčit Američany, aby Číně poskytli větší vojenskou podporu slovy: "My v Číně, stejně jako vy, chceme lepší svět, ne pro sebe, ale pro celé lidstvo a musíme ho mít."

Français : Il y a 80 ans, en pleine guerre mondiale, Soong May-ling, Première dame de la république de Chine, s'adressait à la Chambre des représentants des États-Unis pour persuader les Américains d’accorder un soutien militaire plus important à la Chine. Эрзянь: 80 иеть ютасть, зярдо Сун Мэй-лин ёвтасть-кирдсь АВШ-нь Представителень Палатань икеле. Сон ёвтнесь АВШ ды Китаень марто ялгасчиденть. Сон ульнесь кода сёрмадыть васенце азиань аваломань, кона кирдсь вал АВШ-нь Инекужонть пурнавксонть икеле. Slovenščina: Na današnji dan pred 80 leti je Soong Mei-ling nagovorila ameriški predstavniški dom. V svojem govoru je pozdravila ameriška prizadevanja na pacifiškem bojišču v II. svetovni vojni. Izpostavila je tudi prijateljstvo med ZDA in Kitajsko: »Mi na Kitajskem želimo tako kot vi boljši svet, ne le zase, temveč za vse človeštvo, in to moramo doseči.« Njen obisk naj bi bil tudi znak priznanja za ameriški program posojila in najema, ki je zagotovil vojna sredstva za ohranitev kitajskega odporniškega gibanja. Bila naj bi prva ženska, ki je nagovorila skupno sejo ameriškega kongresa. Українська: Звукозапис виступу Мейлін Сунг Чан, дружини Чан Кайші, на тему американо-китайських відносин і військових дій.
