Shiyan is in the northwest of Wuhan. Although it is not as big or as beautiful as Wuhan, it is very convenient to live in Shiyan. The prices are very cheap and the living is very good. I like rice, hot pot, fish, chicken and beef noodles very much. Now I have got used to eating Chinese food. It is not only delicious, but also very healthy. I hope to learn a lot about Chinese food. I also like the life in Shiyan very much, because there is no epidemic in Shiyan, it is very safe here. Go out with friends every weekend. I am getting more and more used to Shiyan people, I like to talk with them and speak Chinese, because I want to speak Chinese fluently. But I still have to work hard to learn Chinese and adapt to the life in China. I hope I can get to know Chinese people and they can also get to know me, so I will be very happy. I love Shiyan life very much!

Talk to Chinese people
I like talking to Chinese people very much, because I think the oral practice will be very helpful to my Chinese. Some people speak Mandarin so well that I can hear them clearly. People like that. I love talking to them. Others, they prefer to speak in dialect, which is difficult for me to understand, so I seldom talk to them, because it doesn't help me improve my spoken English. I believe that after two to three months I can speak more Chinese and type a lot of Chinese characters. I love Chinese.

Work experience
Working in China is very interesting. The Chinese work very hard and they have meetings every week because they think they can get to know not only the employees but also the future plans of the company. We have had a lot of meetings with our boss these days. Our boss hopes that we can understand the corporate culture of Chinese companies, talk with Chinese people and congratulate us on our very good results! My colleagues and I are working hard to learn Chinese, because we think tomorrow will be better.

My job content
I work in Shiyan Silver Pengxing Company. Sometimes my work is busy and tired, sometimes it is a little relaxed. Sometimes it's busy, but it's fun. I like my job very much. Last week we worked with a foreign company, my brother's company in Guinea. They plan to buy a lot of new energy products from China. These products include wind and solar equipment, as well as lamps for streets and houses. Choosing specifications for these products is a bit of a hassle, but it's a valuable business. Now THE order is ready and our company, SHIYAN Yinpengxing COMPANY, is looking for products. I hope both companies will be happy with this deal.

How do you feel about buying products from China?
At the moment, because China is the biggest market in the world, I think buying from China is very good and very fast. Although it is very convenient, there is a wide range of products and prices are very different. The better the product, the higher the price. You can find all the products you need in China. As long as the specification of the product is determined, the price will be determined accordingly. Good luck with your business in China!
