Hadi from Iran is studying Chinese at Donghua University in Shanghai.

As a fabric art enthusiast with over 20 years of experience in the clothing industry, Hadi was inspired by a friend's recommendation to study Chinese at Donghua University, which is renowned for its programs in fashion, design, and art.

Hadi finds learning Chinese challenging, particularly due to the complexity of the Chinese characters. To improve his proficiency, he spends 3 to 4 hours each day studying after class.

As the class monitor, he is always glad to assist his classmates, helping with visa applications and organizing various school activities.

Hadi often helps community cleaners, offering them water on hot afternoons or helping with sort garbage. These acts of kindness help him integrate into the community.

Hadi also enjoys documenting his life through photos and videos, setting high standards for his work, and redoing recordings if he makes any mistakes.

This approach is especially evident in his online broadcasts, where spoken accuracy is crucial. Hadi believes this method is an effective way to learn Chinese and a unique way to share his life with others.
