My hobbis hobbies

During the weekends, I usually go to the park to practice “shuttlecock”, which is a popular sport in China. The handmade “shuttlecock” makes use of a washer or a coin with a hole in the center. The skilled players can do a 360degree turn, which means that they can employer employ a powerful and spectacular overhead kicks.

I love traveling, I have been to many countries, I have been to see the statue of liberty, which is a colossal sculpture on Liberty Island in New York harbour. The female figure representings liberty, she bears a torch and a tablet, upon which is inscribed the date of the American declaration of Independence, the torch is a symbol of enlightenment. There was one thing that had shocked me a lot, when I was staying in a village, an old  elderly women asked me is there the supermarket in your city where you come from. Maybe her impressions about china are still stuck from the past decades.

If you ask me to recommend a place to you in beijing, that then it should be definitely be the Tiananmen square. Tiananmen Square is the third largest city square in the world It has great cultural significance as it was the site of several important events in Chinese history. I participated in the celebration of the 50th anniversary of China as one of the volunteers who joined the ceremony. We were asked to hold flowers which were very bright colours and from a bird’s eye perspective with 18000 volunteers, it looked amazing.

One of my favourite film is called << The chorus>>, it is a france French film, it talks about a teacher called Clément Mathieu, who is a musician and composer working in a boarding school for "difficult" boys, or some delinquents. He discovers their students’ talent in singing, then he forms a plan - he teachs teaches them to sing, and form a choir. One of the students finally becomes the cantor. The notion has long been rooted among the public that the delinquents are the bad children incurable, but actually, they are children who have gone astray, if someone could guide them back to the right way path, they could also be successful.

Hope this helps
