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 different concepts, ways of thinking and cultural traditions, promoting the exchange of Chinese and foreign cultures. 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 tip of the African continent and has the reputation of “Rainbow Country”. It is particularly worth mentioning that it 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 is still in the clothing business in South Africa. Chen Haoyu was born and raised in Pretoria, known as the “Garden City”.
The following Komiks is Chen Haoyu’s narration:
There are 12 languages in South Africa, and the more commonly spoken local languages are “Afrikaans” and “IsiZulu”. Since South Africa was historically a British colony, residents were mostly used to communicating in English. The city I live in and grew up in is Pretoria. Because of South Africa’s Presidential Palace and various national envoysCinema museums are concentrated in this city, so you can also see a lot of migrant population on the street. 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 of the city streets are mainly planted with the trees of the brignon and blue flowers. When flowers bloom from October to November every year, people hold a grand carnival to enjoy the flowers and other activities.

South Africa and China have a big difference in academic arrangements. 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 choose the subjects you 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 studying, I listened to my family’s advice and saw that China was developing rapidly, so I had 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 work of the Student Union, I learned a lot of administrative management content from the Ministry of Comprehensive Affairs. , including communication with sponsors, personnel management, etc. The role of the student service group is mainly to communicate and feedback with teachers and leaders on students’ needs and opinions. During this process, I saw that teachers will promptly handle the feedback from students, so that I feel the school attaches 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. When practicing dance, I am very BabaylanHappy and relaxing. International journalism major, let me learnLearning a lot of writing knowledge also made me realize the hard work of journalists behind a valuable press release. In this way, my decision to go to school in Cinema was very correct.

The climate in Pretoria is not much different from that of the hottest in January and the coolest in July, which is completely opposite to China in the northern hemisphereKomiks. 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 is very humid and hot. In summer, it was more like Cinema put me on the stove and roast it. In winter, it rains a little and the temperature drops sharply. No matter how many clothes I wear Komiks I still feel 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 barbecueBabaylan and hot pot, which are very suitable for my taste. But what’s amazing is that when I eat a lot of things here, I have to add Komiks to it, 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 and has a wide variety of food to choose from. I have never “stepped on the mine” 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. The most unforgettable view of Guangzhou is the Pearl River at night. The first night of the Pearl RiverBaDuring the trip, I watched the appearance of Guangzhou from different angles. 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 feature of South Africans is that they love nature in particular. 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 was riding giraffes and elephants.” This is because we all love nature and are easy to get in touch with wild animals in our daily 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 Komiks is 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 wildlife living in a wide variety of wildlife. I highly recommend everyone to go there to experience the feeling of integrating man and nature.
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 about where to go in the future, but now I enjoy studying and living in China very much. I will focus on the present first and then look forward to the future.
