LIJUN FROM CHINA LIJUN QIN
Lijun Qin
I am Lijun from China. I never felt lonely in China. People are everywhere. China is a big
country. Bejing and Shanghai are the biggest cities. Beijing is the capital and Shanghai is
a metropolitan city. The population is number one in the world. There are 1.5 billion
people in China. When the people in East China start to work the people in West China are
still in a dream. When the people in South China wear T-shirts the people in North China
are wearing jackets.
I lived in Zhengzhou City which is located in the middle of China. If you visit my country
I would want you to see Shaolin Temple which is located in my hometown. I would want
you to see the Great Wall, Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven. And I would want
you to eat our pears and peaches. They are more delicious than in any other country. I
miss them very much.
My family is big. There are thirteen people in my family including my parents. There are
my sister, her husband and their son, my brother, his wife and their son, my husband and
my three children.
When I was a small child I went to school and I did lots of homework. My school’s name
was the Weiwu Road Elementary School.
If I did not go to college I would not get a good job. In high school I learned Chinese,
math, physics, chemistry, history, geography and music. It prepared me for college.
In college my major was accounting. I liked it very much. I am still going to school. Now
I go to school at the Asian Center in Lawrence, Massachusetts. I am learning English and I
like it very much. I am Lijun from China living in Lawrence.
