Huang Jiajia, 23, came to China in May this year and is currently a master's student in international Chinese education at Hebei Normal University. "My hometown is Pontianak City, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, and there are a lot of Chinese people there, so we also celebrate some traditional Chinese festivals locally, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, we will make zongzi together, share them with others, and throw them into the river." Huang Jiajia said that she had some understanding of Chinese culture before, and she was very happy to be able to come to China to study and Xi this time and experience China's customs up close.
Huang Jiajia, who has just arrived in China, has a lot of discomfort in terms of climate and diet. "In Indonesia, there is only a rainy season and a dry season, but in northern China, the four seasons are distinct, and it is really cold in winter, and we have never felt such cold, in terms of food, the taste in Indonesia is heavier, and after arriving in China, the food Xi here is lighter." After living in China for the past few months, Huang Jiajia has slowly adapted and Xi it. She is also now in love with Chinese food and likes to eat Chinese dumplings, steamed buns, etc.
In addition to attending classes, Huang Jiajia also likes sports, she will go to badminton with her classmates, visit shopping malls and squares. "There are a lot of shopping malls and squares here, and you can watch aunts and uncles square dance, which I think is very interesting." In addition, Huang Jiajia will also use her vacation time to travel around China. "I like traditional Chinese culture very much, and during the summer vacation, I went to the Badaling Great Wall and the Forbidden City in Beijing, and I also went to Zhengding, where there are traditional Chinese ancient buildings, which I think are very beautiful and beautiful."
After several months of living and Xi studying in China, Huang Jiajia was most impressed by the word "convenience", "For example, if we want to watch a movie, buy something, mail express delivery, and take a taxi are all paid by mobile phone, which is very convenient." ”
Huang Jiajia, who lives in China, is always concerned about the development and changes of the motherland. She believes that the Belt and Road Initiative will accelerate Indonesia's economic development. "For example, like the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, which has just opened, it used to take us 3 to 4 hours to drive from Jakarta to Bandung, which was when there was no traffic jam, and it would take longer if we encountered a traffic jam, but now after the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway is opened, it only takes 45 minutes to get from Jakarta to Bandung, which is really convenient."
In order to exercise her professional level, Huang Jiajia often signs up for speech competitions organized by the school. "It's not important to be ranked in the competition, but I can make a lot of friends through the competition, which helps me a lot."
Now Huang Jiajia is preparing to write her graduation thesis, and she will consult relevant materials every day. "Actually, I was a little worried, but I was confident that I could finish the paper." Huang Jiajia said that she will graduate next year, and after graduation, she wants to stay in China to develop and Xi learn more knowledge, "This can improve my Chinese expression skills, and I also hope to go around various places in China and have a look." Huang Jiajia said that Chinese is very good at doing business, and she wants to take this opportunity to learn XiChinese business skills." I think Chinese are great, very good at doing business, I want to learn the ability of Chinese to do business well, and I hope that there will be more development opportunities after returning to China."
