A foreign musician came to China by chance and settled down for 19 years. His song about China was praised by a Chinese person as"I can't imagine more beautiful song about China." It sounds improbable, but this is (exact) what happened to Mark Levine, a 75-year-old from the US.
Levine first came to China in 2005 and worked an English teacher in Huai' an. He moved to Beijing to teach at Minzu University three years later. China has thousands of foreign English teachers, Levine stands out from the rest. He received China's Friendship Award, the nation's (high) honor for a foreigner. The award(give) to 100 foreign experts each year.
He wrote down his experiences and published (they) in a book called Stories from My Chinese Journey. He also wrote songs about China and received (invite) to perform in many activities. "When I am singing Chinese songs to Western audience, my wish is(introduce) China to Westerners." Levine said, He (write) over 80 songs since he moved to Beijing in 2007.
