Why I Love China


 Why I Love China

Spring 2012

Fall 2015

Having had the privilege of teaching in China on two separate occasions, I can say without hesitation that this remarkable country holds a special place in my heart. My experiences there were not only professionally rewarding but personally transformative. China is a country of contrasts, ancient yet modern, vast yet intimate, and it has left me with memories and connections I will cherish for a lifetime.

The most profound reasons I love China is because of its people. From the moment I arrived, I was met with kindness, warmth, and genuine regard for humanity. Whether it was my students, colleagues, or strangers on the street, I was continually touched by the generosity and sincerity that seemed to flow so naturally from everyone I encountered. Even in the simplest interactions, a smile from a passerby, a helping hand when I was lost, or a thoughtful invitation to share a meal. I felt embraced by a community that valued human connection.
