Guangzhou, the city of the future, offers a plethora of opportunities. As the center of global production, it provides a wealth of opportunities for those seeking to grow and develop their careers. Studying at a university here would allow me to gain a deeper understanding of the city and its rich culture. I am hopeful that in the near future, I will be able to continue my studies here. One of the major advantages for me is my experience in social media and video production. This is a skill that I have honed over the years, and I believe that it will be a valuable asset in my future endeavors. Guangzhou, with its vibrant community and dynamic environment, provides the perfect setting for me to continue pursuing my passion

Reasons from C****************
I am going to improve my current Chinese level (HSK 5) and to enhance my communications ability. After the graduation, I’d like to try HSK 6 exam. But,actually, I am not interesting in just narrow HSK training and I’d like to get broader academic training during the course, to deepen in the reading, writing and cultural immersion. I had an experience of studying elementary Chinese in th previous years in 中山大学, and I hope to get impressive time in the SCNU.
