Everyone knows that China is changing and developing very quickly at the moment. Many young people from home and abroad thought about the changes. The following are some comments which young people made on a website message board.
Carmon, Toronto | I'm a Chinese student. I'm very proud of China and I'd love to make a real contribution to the development of my country. When I finish my training in Canada, I will go back to China and start a business, so I can give something back to the country. |
Zhou Li, Guangxi | I'm a Chinese student in America. My hometown used to be very poor. But it has changed now. Most people in my hometown have a good standard of living and some can now afford cars. I'm very pleased with these changes and very proud of them. |
Jackson, Oxford | I spent two years in Beijing as a student in the late 1990s and I recently went back there on holiday. I couldn't believe the changes which had taken place in such a short time and the qualities(品质) I admire in Chinese people are their wish to succeed, their family values and their sense of responsibility. I think these qualities will be very important if China is to continue developing. |
Susan, Hong Kong | I hope that China will become a successful and prosperous(繁荣的) country. There is still a long way to go. There are many challenges and difficulties ahead, but I am sure we can overcome them if we work together. |
