Recently my friend Vat and I finished a three-month stay in China. The plan was, with minimal preparation, to arrive in China and speak as little English as possible, in order to learn Mandarin Chinese.
最近,我和我的朋友瓦特在中国呆了三个月。我们的计划是要在准备工作最少的情况下,抵达中国,尽可能少讲英语,以便学习汉语普通话。
The trip transformed my perception of China, from the unfair image it sometimes has in the West—Don’t judge a country by its media coverage。
这次旅行改变了我对中国的看法,也就是改变了之前中国在西方时常的不公平形象—不要以媒体的报道来评判一个国家。
Hating China is a popular pastime of Western media. I saw a very different kind of China. Kunming, where I lived for most of my stay, wasn’t polluted.
憎恨中国是西方媒体流行的一种消遣,我看到了一个完全不同的中国。我大部分时间都住在昆明,那里并没有被污染。
