“Everyone has his own history. For us yesterday is actually history. Life in China is good if you have friends and people who can help you. When I first came here I felt that I was alone because I was only 16 but teachers and my new friends in ZISU helped me a lot. The teachers here are so nice, when you are sad they cheer you up; when you have problems, they try their best to help you. When I came here I didn’t know anything about China and Chinese language but ZISU helps to me to learn more about it day by day. I travelled to a lot of places in Hangzhou with my teachers. Ms. Pei Qi helped me a lot because she is the first person who I got to know in China. She organizes activities every month. Also, in ZISU I improve my knowledge, I learn a lot of things and culture about China. I am going to continue my degree in ZISU because ZISU is very nice, it is like my second family. Thanks to all teachers who make me feel the friendship and kindness.”
