Hello everyone,

I am H an International student in Fujian Province of China and proud to be sharing my experiences with you all.

大家好，

我是H，是福建省一所大學的留學生，我很想跟跟大家分享一下我在中國的生活。

I remember the first week I arrived here in China when i was so excited because of new environment and everything changed but at the same time I felt so alone, by leaving all my family and friends behind. The big problem was the communication, as few Chinese can speak English and at that time I was unable to speak Chinese and latterly I leaned little Chinese for daily communication. But my classes started and that gave me a huge motivation because all the people I met were so open and friendly at the moments.

我還記得我來中國的第一周，我興奮極了，因為一切都是新的，一切都與眾不同，但與此同時我也因離開家人和朋友而倍感孤獨。最大的問題是交流，只有少數的中國人會說英文，而那時我還不會說中文，后來我學了一些中文，可以日常交流。學習開始后，我得心應手，因為所有的人都還很開放、友好。

Everything was new for me in new environment as it was my first time away from my family and country. First time, I used Wechat and QQ apps as social media because in China Facebook and Google is blocked. It was very difficult to contact with my Facebook friends but latterly I found the way by using VPN as un-blocker for Facebook. Now I often use wechat instead of Facebook.  

第一次離開我的家人和國家，一切都是新的。第一次，我使用了微信和QQ，因為臉書和谷歌都被禁了。我無法跟我的臉書朋友聯系，但后來我發現了用VPN可以翻墻使用臉書。但現在，我大部分時候使用的是微信，而不是臉書。

During my first semester I was very happy to meet with many new friends, some of them from different countries and many from China. I was trying to improve my Chinese language for easy communication in daily life. Chinese felt very happy to meet first time and want to add my wechat or qq then we often chat and learn from each other as it was new friendship. We often went out for visit around or tea together. Sometime I teach them our country language but it was very interesting moments which I still remember.  Chinese are very sincere and regular with their time and work schedules which I like the most.

第一個學期，我特別喜歡結交新朋友，有些人來自不懂的國家，大部分是來自中國，我努力學習中文來適應生活。中國人在第一次遇見我的時候特別高興，加了我的QQ和微信，然后我們還一起出去玩，一起出去喝茶。有時候我還交他們學習我們國家的語言，我還記得那些特別有錢的日子。中國人真誠、守時，這點我最喜歡。

Time passed very quickly and with the passage of time friendship should be stronger. But in my stay here I have experienced that friendship was only for the current time and later will not same as first time. For example, Chinese never contact me firstly without any kind of information as is common in our side to send greetings, morning messages or so on, But Chinese most of the time ignored it and say that sorry, we are busy, we have no time, we have many things to do but when I went to lab they were watching movie. Oh.. I still don’t understand why they very busy?  As they were also students as like us, but why they are very busy? Is that excuse for ignoring? ……………… Most of the time, they were busy in mobile or on social media.

隨著時間的過去，我覺得我們的友誼應該會隨著時間的增長而增強，但這種情況只在剛剛交朋友的那會，慢慢的就沒有了。比如說，中國人從來不主動給我發問候信息，比如早上好之類，而在我的國家，這很尋常，給他們發問候信息后，他們從來不回，問他們為啥，他們說太忙了，沒空，有太多事情要做 ，但每次我去實驗室，都看見他們在看電影、玩游戲。我真的不懂他們為什么這么忙，他們跟我一樣，也是學習，但是他們忙啥呢？難道是找借口忽略我嗎？但多數時候，他們忙看手機，忙社交媒體。

It was my last semester and I was going to graduate in June, I tried contacting all my old Chinese friends and want to arrange a dinner or reunion party together. But I was surprised to see that many friends  deleted my wechat, and some  blocked  my wechat,  oh:  but when I tried to contact with them on phone calls they rejected my phone calls, I still not understand why this?>>>>>>>> still waiting why this????

這是我的最后一個學期，在6月份我畢業了，我嘗試著聯系我的一些老朋友，想一起舉個餐，吃個飯，但是我驚訝的發現，他們都把我從微信上刪掉了！有的人還拉黑了我！！我打電話給他們，他們拒接了我的電話，我還在納悶，不明白這是為什么？？？？？為什么？！！！！

 Everywhere have some good memories and some bad experiences, during my stay I have experienced that the first impression of Chinese friendship is not the same as last impression, mean that when first time met they were very friendly and I cannot explain my feelings of that friendship here. But I am still waiting for the answer, why the last impression is not same as first impression??

每一個地方都會有一些美好和不美好的體驗，在我在這里的日子里，我體驗到中國友誼的第一印象與后來的印象不一樣，也就是說，第一次見面時他們非常友好，我無法解釋我對這種友誼的感受。我想知道答案，為什么最后的印象與第一印象不一樣？

All people are not same everywhere, but still waiting for you friends.

See you again

沒有一個地方的人是相同的，在期待你回答的朋友。

再見。
