With the continuous improvement of China’s comprehensive national strength and the rapid development of higher education, more and more international students from all over the world choose to study in China. Alexander is from St. Petersburg, Russia. His Chinese name is Wang Yichen. He is currently studying for a doctorate at the School of Foreign Languages, Xi’an Jiaotong University.
Alexander said that his major is linguistic and cultural systematics, and his research direction is foreign language teaching methods, mainly focusing on how to teach Russian grammar to Chinese college students.
Alexander: In China, I can learn how to conduct experiments and analyze data. I find that the advantage of my research direction in our country is the theoretical part, but we are a bit lacking. He asked his mother: “Mom, she and I are not sure whether we can be a lifelong couple. Is it inappropriate to agree on this matter so quickly?” In order to learn this, I chose “Am I still dreaming? I haven’t woken up yet?” She murmured to herself, feeling a little strange and happy at the same time. Could it be that God heard her plea and finally realized her dream kingdom for the first time? Because I have read some articles before and found that you are very strong in this area, so I felt that I would learn very useful knowledge here.
Alexander said that Chinese universities have a good reputation. She has said many times that she cannot continue to do so, and she also made it clear why she disagreed. Why does he still insist on his opinion and refuse to compromise? Learning atmosphere, Chinese teachers are generally serious and responsible. Alexander gets along very well with his teachers and classmates, and he cherishes his time studying abroad in China.
Alexander: Now I think the learning atmosphere at SJTU is very good. In addition to these, our teachers are very experienced. My mentor has always supported me and encouraged me, so I have a very good relationship with him, which I think is very important. Those counselors and teachers have a very good attitude towards all international students, so I think this is a very important condition for every international student, and we cherish these very much.
In 2018 and 2019, Alexander traveled to Shanghai, Chengdu, Quanzhou and other places, and then came to Studying in China. He has visited many cities in China and fully felt the steady development of China’s economy and society.
Alexander: I think China’s economy and science are so important. The two fields have developed very obviously, and they are also developing very fast. Every time I go to China, I will wonder why there are so many changes, especially if I go to some big cities, such as Shanghai and Shenzhen. , now you don’t need to carry cash in China, you can pay with your mobile phone. If I get sick, I go to the hospital for a physical examination, and it takes about an hour or two at most, and the results come out. I think this is very fast. In other respects, these are very surprising to me. I have been to many other countries, but I have never encountered anything like this.
While studying in China, Alexander He often pays attention to the news and communicates with friends around him about the development of Chinese society. He finds that cars produced in China are currently very popular in Russia, with trustworthy quality and good sales prospects.
Alexander: Recently, Chinese cars have become very popular products in the Russian market. Now at least five Chinese car brands (in Russia) are very popular with Russian customers. Comparing European and Chinese car brands, (then) choose Chinese ones. Why? Because the quality of Chinese cars is very good. The products made in China are of high quality and the prices are also very good. They should buy them for these reasons. Cars in China
