经过坚持不懈和主动学习，我克服了这些最初的障碍。这段经历增强了我的适应能力，我也变得更加坚韧。很快，在学术和社交方面我都能感到宾至如归，如鱼得水。

Muhammad Khalid Afzal:

During my first few days in China, I faced some challenges, particularly related to adjusting to a new environment and adapting to cultural differences. One of the main difficulties was the language barrier, as I wasn’t familiar with Mandarin at first. Simple tasks like ordering food, navigating public transport, and communicating with locals felt overwhelming.

Muhammad Khalid Afzal:

I have developed a deep appreciation for traditional Chinese culture during my time here. Chinese culture is incredibly rich, with thousands of years of history reflected in its festivals, art, architecture, and philosophy. I’ve learned about key aspects such as Confucianism, Taoism, Chinese calligraphy, traditional music, and the importance of family and harmony in Chinese society. Festivals like the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) and the Mid-Autumn Festival have especially highlighted the cultural emphasis on family, reunion, and gratitude.

I’ve also engaged in several cultural activities that have helped me better understand and experience these traditions firsthand. For instance, I participated in a calligraphy workshop, where I learned about the artistic expression behind Chinese characters. I’ve attended tea ceremonies, which gave me insight into the deep symbolism of tea culture and its connection to mindfulness and hospitality. Additionally, I joined my fellow students in celebrating traditional festivals, where I enjoyed making mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival and attending events with traditional performances, dances, and food.

Through these experiences, I’ve gained a greater understanding and respect for Chinese culture, and I’m always eager to explore more. These activities have not only enriched my time in China but also strengthened my connection to the local community.

来华留学生之家总部：

您如何看待中国的林业领域的发展和创新？
