My Beijing Story: Stories of International Students

My Beijing Story: Stories of International Students contains stories told by international students studying in Beijing. These stories come from four essay contests on “Beijing and Me”, held by the College of International Education, Capital Normal University. Most of these stories have won awards in contests on “Beijing and Me — 100 Reasons to Love Beijing”, which was organized by Beijing People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (BPAFFC). When opening this book, you may be moved by the international students’ simple and sincere emotions, delicate, and unique observations, vivid and touching expressions, and astonishing Chinese narrative ability. You will understand the international students’ love for Beijing and their friendly feelings toward the Chinese people. From their perspectives, the international students tell the world a real, multi-dimensional and vibrant Beijing. This shows the effectiveness of the teaching goal of the college’s international Chinese education — “nurturing students’ hearts and educating them”, the charm of Beijing as a cosmopolis, and the far-reaching significance of strengthening mutual learning among civilizations.
