"'Oriental beauty' means not only a beautiful face, but also beautiful qualities. People usually think Chinese women are always gentle. This time, I will stand on stage and give a new definition of the Chinese woman - someone who is not only gentle, but also independent and strong," Tang says.
她希望此次环球小姐大赛能够实现自己的两个夙愿：一个是周游世界，另一个则是更进一步地投身时尚行业。
She is looking forward to the Miss Universe competition to fulfill two of her longstanding dreams: One is to travel around the world, and the other, to become more involved in the fashion industry.
她说：“我本来打算退休后就去环游世界，但参加环球小姐比赛，可能让我更快实现这个梦想；而且我一直以来的愿望就是当一位艺人。”
"I plan to travel around the world when I retire, but becoming a Miss World can make it happen sooner, and I have always wanted to be an entertainer," she says.
