My first impression of China was from various kongfu movies when i was a child, at that time i thought China is a country of kongfu where everyone can use it. However, after landing in this country in last November, i totally changed my mind.

As soon as we landed, we were warmly welcomed by our teachers, from Taizhou Polytechnic College, the college we would study in. The college arranged a bus for us, so we could go directly from the airport to the campus, more convenient, and could help us recover from jet lag faster. This first experience in China made me feel the people here are thoughtful and kind. On our back to campus, i saw so many beautiful buildings and advanced infrastructure facilities, we were so excited and took a lot of pictures on our way. But after our arrival in the campus, we were much more impressed. I think our college has the top-ranked teaching equipment and technologies. For example, I’m studying in School of Mechanical and Electronic Technology, this department of the college is dedicated to cultivating talents in the manufacturing industry. Therefore, the equipment used to train talents in this department is very advanced, and the teachers are also very professional, for us foreign students to study better, the college made some adjustments to fit our educational standards and study habits.

To be honest, after being here, i was facing a lot of challenges. The language, food and of course arts. But luckily, we got these problems solved at last. For language aspect, our teachers can speak English, and they are really responsible for what they are doing, if we seem to be very confused, they will spend as much time as possible explaining everything until we understand. Also we have Chinese culture class and Chinese language class, we learned the language and it was really beautiful to learn something and it helped us to somehow communicate with Chinese people. I think Chinese is the hardest language to study,  I get excited because it’s a beautiful and interesting language. It is amazing to study how each character has different pronunciation and even more interesting when characters reflect their own meaning with their structures. We even studied Chinese calligraphy so that I could be able to write good Chinese characters, we’ve learned how to write China, Jiangsu in Chinese, and our Chinese names, even dozens of beautiful Chinese ancient poems, my favourite poem sentence is “But don’t you know, don’t you know, the red should languish and the green must grow.”(知否?知否?应是绿肥红瘦。李清照《如梦令》)The reason i love this sentence is that it is not only beautiful both in Chinese and in English, but also reflects the life of this female poet. How amazing Chinese culture is!

Our class director and other teachers are excellent because they try their best to help and support us; they even sacrifice their own holiday, just want to make sure we foreign students have no problem in our study and lives. I really want to say thank you!

Besides our academic study and practical practices in the college workshop, we also participate in many activities. After our study, we often play football with other students and teachers; they say we are really good at this. In April this year, we went to Suzhou to join 2019 Orienteering Competition for Foreigners in Jiangsu, representing Taizhou. We have really achieved good grades and won honor, i want to express our gratitude to Jiangsu and her people, without you, we will never have this brilliant study environment and extraordinary lifestyle.

It is true that China is a symbol of hard work and success around the globe, all you need do here is to commit to your goals, always prepared and be consistent. The people of Jiangsu are so warm and hospitable. We have made a lot of friends here. In the process of communication, we have enhanced mutual understanding and deepened friendship. The rapid development of Jiangsu is amazing. A giant building can rise up in a few months, and a new road can be perfectly paved in a few weeks! What an amazing developing speed! To be honest, i can’t see anywhere else on this planet can do the same.

China is the dragon that soars, and Jiangsu is the most dazzling piece of the dragon. The time spent studying in Jiangsu will be the most precious wealth of my life and will have an immeasurable positive influence on my life.

This year is the 70th Anniversary of The Founding of the People's Republic of China; I’d love to express my congratulations and heartfelt respect! I love China! I am chasing my dream in Jiangsu; I give thumb-ups to Jiangsu!
