Opening language
They come from all over the world, have different cultural backgrounds, and speak different languages. They come to Chinese land to study and study, witness China’s development in recent years, deepen their understanding of China, and experience and experience a “three-dimensional and fresh life” China through their own perspective. At the same time, they also brought Cinema different concepts, ways of thinking and cultural traditions, and promoted the exchange of cultures between China and foreign countries. Today, Jinyang.com will continue to launch eight episodes of the “Qingsong Envoy” column to listen to these Chinese stories of students coming to China.

The Republic of South Africa is located at the southernmost end of the African continent and has the reputation of “Rainbow Country”. It is particularly worth mentioning that it is Komiks has three capitals: the administrative capital Pretoria, the legislative capital Cape Town, and the judicial capital Bloemfontein. South Africa is divided into nine provinces, with a population composition of four major races including black, colored, white and yellow.
In 1990, in order to seek business opportunities, Chen Haoyu’s father came to South Africa. After stabilizing in Pretoria, he took his family here to settle. Until now, he still manages the clothing business in South Africa. Chen Haoyu was born and raised in Pretoria, known as the “Garden City”.
The following is Chen Haoyu’s story:
South Africa has 12 languages, and the most commonly used languages include “Afrikaans” and “IsiZulu”. By Babaylan was a British colony in South Africa in history, and residents were mostly used to communicating in English. The city I live in and grew up in is CinemaPretoria. Since the South African Presidential Palace and embassies are concentrated in this city, you can also see a lot of foreign population on the streets. In addition to Johannesburg and Cape Town, these three cities form the most populous area in South Africa. Pretoria is a very beautiful city, and the green belts on the city streets are mainly planted with jacaranda trees. When flowers bloom from October to November every year, people will hold a grand carnival to enjoy flowers and other activities.

In terms of academic arrangements, South Africa and China are quite different. South Africa requires students to choose one of several African languages as a second language for learning, and there is also a special course to teach “life orientation” to learn the knowledge commonly used in life. After the first year of high school, you can Komiks to choose the subjects I want to study, but basic subjects and sports are essential. South Africa forces power outages in different areas every day to ensure that the power station will not be overloaded. I think this will have a certain impact on life. After completing my high school studies, I listened to the advice of my family and saw that China is developing rapidly, so I developed a strong desire to return to China. At that time, I applied for the opportunity to study at Ji University with my high school graduation.
During my studies and life in college, in order to improve my abilities, I interviewed the Student Union and the Student Delegation. In the Student Union <a In my work at Babaylan, I learned a lot of administrative management content from the Comprehensive Affairs Department, including communication with sponsors, personnel management, etc. The role of the Student Representative League is mainly to communicate and feedback with teachers and leaders on the needs and opinions of Cinema students. In this process, I saw that teachers will promptly handle the feedback from students, so that I could feel the school attach importance to students' opinions..
At the same time, because of my interest in street dance, I also joined the street dance club. There are many enthusiastic seniors in the street dance club, which makes me feel that I am not alone, but in a big family. I was very happy and relaxed when I was practicing dancing. The major of international journalism has allowed me to learn a lot of writing knowledge, and has also made me realize the hard work of journalists behind a valuable press release. From this point of view, my decision to go to Ji University was very correct.

The climate in Pretoria is not much different from that in January, the hottest in July, and the coolest in July, which is completely opposite to China in the northern hemisphere. I chose to study and live in Guangzhou. At the beginning, it was relatively difficult to adapt to the climate. At the transition from spring to summer, Guangzhou Babaylan is very wet and hot. In summer, it was more like I was baking on the stove. In winter, it rains a little and the temperature drops sharply. No matter how many clothes I wear, I still feel it is quite cold.
In terms of diet, because I am not picky about food, there is nothing particularly difficult to adapt to. When I first returned to China, I fell in love with barbecue and hot pot, which are very consistent with my Komiks flavor. But what’s amazing is that when I eat a lot of things here, I have to add some spicy food, so I have become more and more interested in eating spicy food. In Guangzhou, even when eating in a teahouse, there are occasionally chili saucers for customers to use. The school is located in the center of Guangzhou. It has a wide variety of food to choose from. I have never “stepped on the thunder” of the small shops around the school. If my friends from South Africa come here, I will take them to try the affordable restaurants that my classmates prefer to eat around the school. I’m the most unforgettableThe scenery of Guangzhou is the Pearl River at night. During my first night tour of the Pearl River, I watched the appearance of Guangzhou from different angles at Babaylan. The scenery was particularly beautiful and spectacular, which made me fall in love with this city even more.

Chinese students may not know much about South Africa. The most obvious characteristic of South Africans is that they are particularly loving natureKomiks. What everyone is most curious about is whether we really interact directly with wild animals in South Africa. I would joke to my classmates, “When I was in class, I rode giraffes and elephants.” This is because we all love nature and are easy to get into wild animals during our lives. I used to have a small zoo in my school. But South Africa is actually a relatively modern country with rich mineral resources. I personally think the most interesting natural attractions in South Africa are the Kruger (Kruger) National Park. This is the largest wildlife park in South Africa and one of the largest nature reserves in Africa. It has a large number of wild animals inhabited here. I highly recommend that you go there and experience the feeling of human and nature being integrated into one.
The climate in the places I live so far is relatively warm, so I also want to experience the cold environment. If I have the chance, I would like to take my friends from South Africa to cities in northern China with me because they have never seen snow before. We can enjoy the snow and ski together, taste the food from northern China, and experience the customs and customs that are different from the south.

I have no certain choice for the future, but now I really enjoy studying and living in ChinaCinema. I will focus on the present first and then look forward to the future.
