New Zealand: A Small Soldier in Soft Power Research

(liuxue86.com) I compiled, collected and sorted out the news of studying abroad for China students: The Little Soldier of Soft Power Research reported on June 20th. Song Qi, master student of China Communication University, visiting scholar of Massey University and Macquarie University. He himself always said modestly: "I just want to be a soldier in the March of China's soft power research." Now, Song Qi, who is about to finish his work in New Zealand, opens the box and tells his experience as a visiting scholar.

22 years old visiting scholar

Overseas visiting scholars generally invite university teachers, doctors and celebrities from all walks of life. However, Song Qi, who is only 22 years old, has become a visiting scholar in two famous universities, Massey University in New Zealand and Macquarie University in Australia, as a master student, which makes Song Qi most proud.

Song Qi introduced his idea of "doing research on the soft power of Confucius Institute and China" when attending the international professor studio of China Communication University, which aroused the interest of the two universities. "In addition to research ideas, my experience also attracted them. In addition, my tutor Professor Luo Qing cooperated with them very well and gave support in the application, so I got these two invitations. " Song Qi said.

Academic interview was hit by an earthquake.

One afternoon, Song Qi was interviewed at Canterbury University in Christchurch. Suddenly, the table shook violently, and Song Qi looked around and felt the whole room shaking. Frightened at this time, he saw people in the room smiling at each other and continuing to chat casually. It turns out that there were thousands of earthquakes in the local area last year, and they have long been used to it. Song Ji's hanging heart was put down and the interview was completed.

New Zealanders are "simple and unintentional"

Outside of research, all aspects of overseas life make Song Qi feel fresh. In particular, the "honesty" of New Zealanders in doing business often touched Song Qi. Song Qi's landlord in New Zealand is going to buy a laptop as a promotion. Usually 65,438 yuan +0, 600 yuan's notebook computer, the price is reduced to 65,438 yuan+0,000 yuan. When the landlord asked in the shop, the clerk told him, "We will reduce it to S $800 in a few days. If you are not in a hurry, you might as well buy it later. " A week later, the price was reduced to S $800. The landlord was overjoyed and bought two sets.

Introduce China to the youth of the world.

Besides studying and researching, Song Qi also travels around New Zealand. He once met a Japanese boy who went to New Zealand for work and holiday and played together for a few days. Once I copied movies from each other at my residence, Song Qi remembered that I had Tunnel Warfare on my computer, so I showed it to Japanese boys and explained it while playing.

"In fact, I don't want to change anything about him. I just want to show the differences in understanding between different countries. " Song Qi said, "Being able to convey the information that affects their growth is a good international exchange in itself."

Song Qi also met some interesting things, such as an Englishman who took "Wang Cai" as his Chinese name and got a tattoo on his abdomen. Nowadays, these bits and pieces of communication with young people from all over the world have become the most unforgettable experience of Song Qi's overseas travel.
