I am a Chinese girl, like most people, I am proud of my country. It's in 2008 that we have experienced many things and meet a lot of challenges. Firstly, a sudden earthquake happened in Wenchuan on the afternoon of May,12. I lived far away from there, but i still felt a degree of shock. Our premier went to the disaster areas in the first time which made me moved. In the following days, we all spare our efforts to help those who was involed in the disaster. Our government made many effective policy to protect its people. Besides, Our soldiers played an important role in the rescue. They are worth respecting! Finally, we win the battle! Secondly, we held the Olympic Games in Beijing. It's the realization of our dream for many years. We showed the world an open China which has a long history and cultural diversity. Thirdly, haha... in 2008, i went to the university and had a new start. In 2008, i was independent because I lived far away from my parents. Oh, my friends! How time flies! 2008 is going to the end, do you have some unforgettable experiences or do you have something to share with me? I'm here waiting for all of you!

I am Italian and I went to China few years ago. I visited Beijing, Shangai and X'ian. I really love your country and I hope to come there as soon as possible. in these year, several things have happened. The most important is that I have gone to live alone, and it's nice. Besides, I started studying three wonderful languages: English, Spanish and Rusian.

I left China in 2008 after staying there for four years. I missed many exciting events in China and I miss the country a lot.
