Before eight o'clock, the venue was already filled with students who came to watch. Some of them looked towards the door from time to time, hoping to see the real thingTBC; Some were whispering to the people around them, with curious looks in their eyes. In the minds of many students in the w88 casino, especially freshmen,TBCis a name that is both mysterious and attractive. Students may only know that it is related to the foreign students who can be seen everywhere in the w88 casino, but students who have been to the fourth floor of Ningyuan Building may also have admired the terracotta warriors, classrooms, libraries and other antique furnishings with Chinese characteristics in its corridors, and feel both friendly and curious.

Let’s get closer nowTBC, this is a link between Chinese and American student exchanges and Chinese and foreign cultural exchanges.

TBC (The Beijing Center of Chinese Studies)Also known as the Beijing China Studies Center, it is an organization that provides programs for foreign students to study in China and is committed to integrating them into Chinese culture. It has complete teaching equipment and advanced teaching concepts. Its library is the library with the largest collection of English-language books in Beijing. Books cover everything from economics to culture to religion. It also has many university papers and the latest newspapers and periodicals. It often receives visits from well-known scholars and professors. The decoration in the library is warm and comfortable, giving Chinese and foreign students a feeling of home.

Their footprints have spread all over the motherland: Guilin, Yunnan, Sichuan, the Silk Road... While appreciating China's magnificent rivers and mountains, they can feel China's extensive and profound culture. Photos of international students studying and living were displayed at the recruitment meeting: some of them were wearing T-shirts with Lei Feng patterns on themTThe T-shirts stood at the statue of Lei Feng with serious expressions; some imitated the shape of the statue seriously and in place under the statues of the martyrs; some laughed knowingly under the beautiful scenery of China, and most of them were happy and harmonious scenes with Chinese friends. These lovely and passionate international students let us feel their enthusiasm for Chinese culture and their friendliness to Chinese friends.

Chinese students who hold these jobs provide international students with necessary guidance and assistance in study and life, and also make their own contributions to strengthening cultural exchanges between the two sides.

Students who have done these four jobs shared their stories with the people present at the meeting. The contact with international students brought them many feelings. What they feel most deeply is that at work, what they gain is not only the improvement of their English proficiency and extra income, but also a sincere friendship, a kind of inner touch, sparks from different cultural backgrounds, and brainstorming brought about by different ways of thinking. “Those international students express with frankness and smiles all the time how much they love China, love Chinese culture, and love Chinese people.” “They are eager to understand the peasants who face the loess and back to the sky, which are often reflected in Chinese movies, and occasionally involve the Tao of Confucius and Mencius in ancient China, Buddhist culture or ethnic minorities.” From their words, we can deeply understand the enthusiasm of the international students for Chinese culture and friendliness towards the Chinese people.

However, different cultural backgrounds and different values inevitably lead to differences in the interactions between Chinese students and international students. They emphasized that when encountering such differences, they do not necessarily try to change or even complain, but should adopt a respectful attitude. Giving each other some space and freedom and respecting each other is the most important thing.

Here, down-to-earth, friendly, and patient Chinese students live in harmony with enthusiastic, sincere, and studious international students; here, different cultures blend with each other and different concepts are communicated.TBC16597_16630
