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 feel and experience a “three-dimensional and vivid” China through their own perspectives. At the same time, they also brought different concepts and ideas. Komiks dimensions and cultural traditions, promoting the exchange of culture 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 has three capitals: the administrative capital BabaylanPretoria, 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 down. 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:
Cinema 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 the South African Presidential Palace and embassies of various countries are concentrated in this city,So you can also see a lot of foreign population on the street. Coupled with JohnnyKomiksSburgh and Cape Town, these three cities form the most populous area in South Africa. Pretoria is a very beautiful city, with the green belts of urban streets mainly planted with jacaranda trees. When flowers bloom from October to November every year, people will hold a grand carnival to enjoy a series of activities such as flower viewing.

In terms of academic arrangements, there are relatively big differences between South Africa and China. South Africa requires students to choose a second language for learning in several African languages, and a special course teaches “life orientation” to learn knowledge commonly used in life. After the first year of high school, you can choose the subject you want to study, but basic subjects and physical education are both essential. South Cinema is not forced to blackout 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 my family’s advice and saw that China was 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 results.
During my studies and life in college, in order to improve my abilities, I interviewed the Student Union and the Student Delegation Group. In the work of the Student Union, I learned a lot of administrative management content from the Department of Comprehensive Affairs, including communication with sponsors, personnel management, etc. The role of the Student Association is mainly to communicate and feedback with teachers and leaders on students’ needs and opinions. Here CineDuring this process, I saw that teachers would promptly handle the content feedback from students, which made me 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 the journalists behind a valuable press release. In this way, my decision to choose Babaylan to go to school 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 is very humid 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 quite cold.
In terms of diet, because I don’t choose Cinema food, there is nothing particularly difficult to adapt to. When I first returned to Komiks China, I fell in love with barbecue 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 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 and has a wide variety of food to choose from. I have never “stole the thunder” in 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. Chapter KomiksWhen I was traveling to the Pearl River at night, I watched the appearance of Guangzhou from different angles. The scenery was particularly beautiful and spectacular.Komiks, 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 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 rode giraffes and elephants.” This is because we all love nature more and are easy to get in touch with wild animals in daily life. My previous <a There is a small zoo in the school. But South Africa is actually a relatively modern country with rich mineral resources. I personally think that the most interesting natural attractions in South Africa are Kruger (Kruger) National Public Komiks Park. This is the largest wildlife park in South Africa and one of the largest nature reserves in Africa. There are huge and diverse wildlife living here. I highly recommend that you go there to experience the feeling of humans and nature.
The climate in my life so far is relatively warm, so I would like to experience the cold environment. If you have the chance, I would like to take my friends from South Africa to cities in northern China, because they have never seen snow. We can enjoy the snow, ski, taste the food from northern China, and feel the customs and customs that are different from the south.

I have no certain choice as to where I will go in the future, but now I enjoy it very much.Study and life in China. I will first focus on the present and then look forward to the future.
