Answer for 11 core questions
1. What could SCSU do to make your stay on campus better?
In general, I think SCSU is very good, if there was something SCSU could do to make me feel better; it could be something about food. I have been eating in Garvey for like one semester; honestly, fried noodle was the only item in the menu which I would like to eat. If there were more tasty food on campus, it would be better for me to stay.
2. Could you tell me a secret about yourself that very few people here know about and that shows us well, who you are and what you stand for?
One secret about me is I am an atheist, or I can talk like this I do not believe fate was destined to be which it is, I believe efforts of people is the most important thing. However, I do believe god might be existent; it is not described like the god of Christian’s or Buddhism. One people got their own god, that what in my mind.
3. Which country`s food do you like the most? What are the similarities and differences between it and your own culture`s food?
Definitely, my favorite food is Chinese traditional food, if you ask me, there was no food can compare Chinese food, I love it. Besides other Asian food are tasty as well, especially Japanese food. They are similar due to the relation of culture background, the differences between Japanese food and Chinese food should be that there was more fresh food about Japanese food while there were not many cases in Chinese food.
4. What are the typical greetings in your culture and what do they mean?
In China, when we meet someone in the first time, except say NiHao to each other, we usually shake hands as greetings. NiHao is kind of greetings like how are you. Shaking hands is the most common way of greeting in the world, it means being friendly to each other.
5. What kind of government is in charge of your home country, how did it affect your life and how has democracy in America been a change?
China has a system called "party led Democracy", but which is more accurately described as an oligarchy. One must be approved by the ruling "Chinese Communist Party" to run for any position. So obviously Chinese Communist Party is in charge of my home country, it did affect my life a lot, because I did not feel too much democracy either. China always needs to learn from America in this way.
6. What different modes of transportation are used in your country?
We have trains, planes, ships, buses and bikes in China for daily transportation; besides a comprehensive transportation system was created. It consisted of railways, highways, airplanes. Tibet, one of most inaccessible region in the world even can be reached via train since the operation of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in first.
7. At what age do you start school? Are you under a lot of stress in school??
When I started school I was 7 years old, it was a common age for us. It always was huge stress to Chinese students, Chinese senior high school students suffer a far greater than students in the other countries, because Chinese national college entrance exam, which falls on June 7 to 9 each year, is a major event in the lives of the country's high school students, with 10 million competing each year for the highest scores. I was there undisputed.
8. What religious holidays or other cultural events do you or others celebrate; can you explain your traditions for each?
There are a wide variety of traditional and modern festivals and events in China that are based on both lunar and solar calendars. Chinese festivals and events occur throughout the whole year. The Chinese New Year is the most exciting and colorful event of China. The religious ceremony is traditionally attached with this festival. Communal feast commonly called as "Weilu" are organized on this occasion. It epitomizes the family unity and tribute the past and present generations.
8b Do you have any daily rituals in regards to your religious beliefs?
I do not have any religious beliefs.
9. How would you describe famous sports in your country?
Table tennis, also known as ping-pong, is the most famous sports in my country. It is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight, hollow ball back and forth using table tennis rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions.
10. Can you describe a typical day for a child in your country?
It is Children's Day; this one is international one I guess, except children’s day there was no more typical day for child in my country.
In general, I think SCSU is very good, if there was something SCSU could do to make me feel better; it could be something about food. I have been eating in Garvey for like one semester; honestly, fried noodle was the only item in the menu which I would like to eat.
