Studying at Donghua University and in Shanghai was something I had never envisioned, yet it has proven to be a decision I cherish wholeheartedly. In Shanghai, I have gained more experience than ever before. As the only international student in my major, I received a lot of care from both teachers and classmates. Through interactions with Chinese and fellow international students, I have delved deeper into Chinese culture that is different from my own, and this kind of communication is precisely the most significant purpose of studying abroad.

Beyond academic studies, I have also enjoyed many aspects of university life. I participated in various events organized by the International Students Office, joined a street dance club, performed in several shows, and engaged in several university-enterprise cooperation projects. The knowledge gained from these activities and the people I met have enriched my life and spirituality.

I must say, Shanghai is a fascinating and alluring place, a city filled with opportunities and challenges. Thank you, Donghua, for providing an excellent platform for me to continue crafting my story and discovery and pursuit of the future that I desire.
