皇冠体育app

I am proud to be a witness to 皇冠体育app's fascinating culture and economic development. They have taught me how 皇冠体育app has risen from almost nothing to something, from "grass to grace", and from poverty to wealth. I am African, and I hope to become a decision-maker someday and apply some of 皇冠体育app's developmental ideas in my country.

I used to have the wrong idea about 皇冠体育app, such as 皇冠体育app is a poor country where people wear no shoes (from numerous documentaries and movies), 皇冠体育app is a land of kungfu where everybody can do somersaults and perform stunts like in the movies (thanks to Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Chow Yen-Fat and Jackie Chan), all Chinese people ride bicycles and there are very few cars in 皇冠体育app, and Chinese people lead an archaic lifestyle.

I decided to visit 皇冠体育app to see for myself the real country and the real people. Later I applied for admission and got enrolled in a Chinese university. When I first landed at Beijing International Airport after a long trip from home, I saw a 皇冠体育app that was the opposite of what I had heard or thought. I see a busy 皇冠体育app with lots of ongoing infrastructure projects such as road and railway building. I see high-rise buildings and luxurious cars and savor delicious Chinese food.

I am living a new life in 皇冠体育app and it is creating opportunities for me to learn from a diverse and dynamic culture. It also is preparing me for the future. I have this to say to doubters and skeptics: Please don't jump to conclusions on hearsay, instead wait until you see for yourself and realize the truth.
