China, with its vast land and vast resources, is attracting more and more international students to study in China.

Come to China to study is a beautiful encounter for me
2008 Beijing Olympics held, bringing China into the vision of Vietnamese girl Yunying. "In 2008, I saw China from the video " Beijing Welcome You ". Ancient places of interest, colorful culture, tempting food, tall buildings. Every picture in the video made me very interested in China."
When I graduated from high school at the age of 18, Yunying received a scholarship from Guangxi Normal University, realizing her dream of studying in China. Recalling the opening ceremony, Yunying said that this was her deepest campus memory. "I am honored and excited to speak on behalf of the freshmen of Vietnam." In my future college life, Yunying met many Chinese friends. She would teach her friends to speak and in Vietnam, and her friends would also teach Yunying to speak dialects from all over China. "I will do it a little bit by Guilin dialect, Sichuan dialect , Cantonese ." As he said that, Yunying said in Cantonese: "I like to learn Chinese!"
In addition to learning local dialects, after coming to China, Yunying developed a new hobby - watching movies about Chinese history. "" I Love My Motherland " is the best and best movie I have ever seen. The scene when Chairman Mao announced the "The People's Republic of China was founded" in Tiananmen . These movies made me understand the history of China and also made me see words that I had never seen in textbooks. I learned a lot from it."
Regarding the entire study abroad process, Yunying said it was difficult to describe it in a precise word. She said: "Come to China and stay." Learning is a beautiful encounter for me. This experience taught me to face pressure and setbacks strongly, constantly improving and sublimating myself; it is like a huge stage full of charm, giving me one opportunity after another to fully demonstrate myself, and my dream has begun to become more gorgeous in China. "
Now Yunying has determined his career direction, "I want to become a bridge for international communication between China and Vietnam, so that more people can learn Chinese and understand China." Yunying said.
10 months of study abroad experience in junior high school made me fall in love with China
"When I was in junior high school, I wanted to learn the third language, so I came to Harbin, China to study abroad." Recalling my first encounter with China, Xiaojuan said, "At that time, I came to Beijing from Thailand, and then took a train from Beijing to Heilongjiang. The people around me greeted me warmly, and I felt extremely warm."
From Monday to Friday, Xiaojuan was studying at school, and she not only did she not only greet me. I learned a lot of idioms and sentences, and also remembered everything the teacher said in my heart. "The Chinese's ideas have brought a lot of changes to my life. When I was studying in China, I learned to continuously improve myself through learning." Xiaojuan went to the reception family to stay on Saturday and Sunday. "I like to drink tea, so they make tea for me every day, and they also buy me milk every day. Although they don't eat much meat, they buy meat for me every day after they find out that I only eat meat." The hospitality and considerate and warmth of the reception family made Xiaojuan feel the kindness of the Chinese, and also made her increasingly interested in the country of China.
During the days of studying abroad, Xiaojuan also went to Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and other places to visit. "I really like Beijing Roast Duck , the beautiful Great Wall, and the open and inclusive Shanghai." Xiaojuan introduced one by one with great excitement, but soon said in a regretful tone, "I passed by Tiananmen that time, but I didn't have the chance to go in.Next time I go to Beijing, I must go to Tiananmen Square to see the flag-raising. I think that must be particularly spectacular! "
The 10-month study abroad experience in junior high school has planted the seeds of coming to China to study in Xiaojuan. This year, she got her wish and became a student majoring in foreign business Chinese at Fudan University in Shanghai. "I used to be very curious why people would go to to worship the statue of Confucius when they want to pass the exam. Until now, after I learned a course called "Introduction to the Analects of Confucius", I learned about Confucius' outstanding contributions in education and really felt that he was a great person. "
Although many friends around me have chosen business courses, Xiaojuan insisted on choosing the "Analects of Confucius Introduction". "I think this class is very interesting. If you study in China, you have to learn more about local culture, otherwise it would be a pity and a pity, right? "
Food, movies, and humanities. Studying abroad has allowed me to get closer to China
" My hometown is close to the Chinese border, so I am very familiar with Chinese culture, people and food. "Maybe it is because of geographical reasons that Anna from Russia has a natural sense of intimacy with China, but Chinese food and movies are what really attract Anna.
"I like Chinese hot pot, pearl milk tea and fruit drinks with cheese the most. Of course, I also like snacks in Guangzhou. "Anime's diverse snacks, drinks and food impressed Anna. "In terms of culture, I admire Chinese movies very much. "Anna introduced that her first encounter with Chinese movie was at a film festival in her hometown. She saw " Mountains and Rivers Old Friends " directed by Jia Zhangke . Since then, Anna's love for Chinese classic movies has become uncontrollable. " " Live ", " Mountains and Rivers Old Friends", " Farewell My Concubine ", these are my favorite movies to watch the most. I like the stories narrated by Chinese movies, the delicate feelings of the characters and the visual enjoyment they bring to me. Chinese movies are very different from Western movies or TV programs, and this sense of novelty is very attractive to me. ”
In 2017, Anna came to Jinan University to study international journalism. Interesting campus activities and warm and friendly classmates allowed Anna to personally feel the charm of China. “At the cultural expo held by the school, students from different countries cooked their ethnic dishes and introduced each other’s culture to others. What made me happy was that I could understand the culture of my friends’ country through this activity. "The inclusive, harmonious and integrated university culture atmosphere allowed Anna to quickly integrate into the collective. "When I was in school in Russia, I felt that I was an independent individual and no one cared about my after-class life. But in China, students are so united that we can participate in many activities together. "Anna mentioned that she created a group chat with her classmates, and if there are any questions, the classmates will help her as soon as possible.
The only regret that Anna regrets is that she has not traveled all over China. "I have only explored the city of Shenzhen, and I can't imagine that such a developed city has so many parks and trees. I also want to go to Inner Mongolia and Yangshuo , because I heard from my classmates that the scenery of these two places is super beautiful. "
China's study abroad life allows the majority of international students to come to China, understand China, feel China, see China's beautiful rivers and mountains with their own eyes, get along with the Chinese people at close range, and experience China's campus life with their own eyes. China has left a deep impression and unforgettable memories in the hearts of international students to China. (For more news, please follow Yangcheng Pai pai.ycwb.com)
