Takaya Inoue, a Japanese student, takes a picture with students in Huachi county, Gansu province, on July 13. CHINA DAILY "The living environment in China suits me perfectly, and I feel right at home even though my Chinese isn't fluent. At Tsinghua University, where I pursued my studies in China, I made friends with many Chinese young people and relished spending time with them, be it for meals or leisure activities. On the train from Beijing to Chongqing, for example, I talked with a Chinese kid and his mother for three hours, sharing our life experiences and discussing what it's like living in China. I hope that many foreigners who don't speak Chinese fluently can still embrace and enjoy life in China, just as I have.
