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，是福建省一所大学的留学生，我很想跟跟大家分享一下我在中国的生活。

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.

我还记得我来中国的第一周，我兴奋极了，因为一切都是新的，一切都与众不同，但与此同时我也因离开家人和朋友而倍感孤独。最大的问题是交流，只有少数的中国人会说英文，而那时我还不会说中文，后来我学了一些中文，可以日常交流。学习开始后，我得心应手，因为所有的人都还很开放、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.  

第一次离开我的家人和国家，一切都是新的。第一次，我使用了微信和QQ，因为脸书和谷歌都被禁了。我无法跟我的脸书朋友联系，但后来我发现了用VPN可以翻墙使用脸书。但现在，我大部分时候使用的是微信，而不是脸书。

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.

第一个学期，我特别喜欢结交新朋友，有些人来自不懂的国家，大部分是来自中国，我努力学习中文来适应生活。中国人在第一次遇见我的时候特别高兴，加了我的QQ和微信，然后我们还一起出去玩，一起出去喝茶。有时候我还交他们学习我们国家的语言，我还记得那些特别有钱的日子。中国人真诚、守时，这点我最喜欢。

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.

随着时间的过去，我觉得我们的友谊应该会随着时间的增长而增强，但这种情况只在刚刚交朋友的那会，慢慢的就没有了。比如说，中国人从来不主动给我发问候信息，比如早上好之类，而在我的国家，这很寻常，给他们发问候信息后，他们从来不回，问他们为啥，他们说太忙了，没空，有太多事情要做 ，但每次我去实验室，都看见他们在看电影、玩游戏。我真的不懂他们为什么这么忙，他们跟我一样，也是学习，但是他们忙啥呢？难道是找借口忽略我吗？但多数时候，他们忙看手机，忙社交媒体。

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????

这是我的最后一个学期，在6月份我毕业了，我尝试着联系我的一些老朋友，想一起举个餐，吃个饭，但是我惊讶的发现，他们都把我从微信上删掉了！有的人还拉黑了我！！我打电话给他们，他们拒接了我的电话，我还在纳闷，不明白这是为什么？？？？？为什么？！！！！

 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??

每一个地方都会有一些美好和不美好的体验，在我在这里的日子里，我体验到中国友谊的第一印象与后来的印象不一样，也就是说，第一次见面时他们非常友好，我无法解释我对这种友谊的感受。我想知道答案，为什么最后的印象与第一印象不一样？

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

See you again

没有一个地方的人是相同的，在期待你回答的朋友。

再见。
