Hello everyone:)
你好(Ni Hao)!
My name is Xiangle Liang and you can call me Melody. I was born in 2004 and now I am 20 years old. I spent my past 20 years in China and this is my first time in London. By the way I am one of the 2+2 programme students who spent the first 2 years of university in ICUCN.
I come from Canton, China which is located in very southern part of China. That is the place I spent my most time in and I love there sooo much. Canton is famous for its various cuisine, long history and culture as well as developed economy and trate. At the end of last century, a large number of Guangdong immigrants entered the western countries especially the UK and the US. Most of the restaurants in Chinatown around the world serve Cantonese food, and many of the staffs there speak Cantonese. I felt like I was back home in Chinatown. And the taste there is also classic and traditional. I highly recommend you to go and try.😋
Talking about interests, I love doing photography though I’m not that professional. For me it’s the best way to express feelings since we cannot share everything with others and some of it has to be dealt with by ourselves. Here are some pictures of me or took by me.
I feel like getting used to the life and study in western countries are so tough for asian people. The education system from us and western are completely different. From my perspective asian students always focus on the result of learning and care about what others think which absolutely make us stressful and afraid of coming up or saying out different ideas. However, we are hardworking enough for memorize displines so that we can consider things in a logical way. That make us rational and impartial. We’re just shy to express our thoughts compare to students from other places.
Therefore, I set a goal for myself that I should be more open minded and focus on the present during the time in London.
So that’s a simple introduction of myself (which can only represent 5% of me) and see you in class:))).
