Travel has long been important to me. It is a passion that started through reading in my early school days and has stayed with me throughout my life.
As China’s composite national strength and international influence continue to grow, scholars around the world are paying more attentions to this country.
I am probably the oldest international student in China. I started studying in China when I was nearly 60 and I am now an old lady of over 70. The reason why I have stayed in China is simply because I have a strong love of China.
I am Uruguayan a postgraduate student admitted to study online by a Chinese college. Although I am 20,000 kilometers away, in a place the farthest in the world from China, it is always my hope to break the geographical barriers and get closer to China.
When studying in China, I’ve once taken the leadership course provided by my university and was impressed by a “hopscotch” game, in which the lecturer would draw blank squares on the ground beforehand and students were asked to walk on this road of squares and discover a right route.
I come from Indonesia. What do you think of when talking about Indonesian Chinese? I believe many people have an impression that there are not many Chinese people in Indonesia.
Some people say that there is no shortage of opportunities in our time, so it is certain that everyone will be presented with many choices.
My first encounter with China was in 2009 when I just turned 16 years old and was curious about China.
When I was a little kid, the first time I saw “Made in China” products were socks and toys we bought in Chinatown. Small commodities produced in China are popular for their cheap prices.
In Chinese, there are phrases and proverbs such as “close neighbors separated by only a strip of water” and “a near neighbor is better than a distant cousin” to describe very close neighborhoods.
