No one can deny a fact that it will be a hard time for a student to study abroad, for not only will he experience cultural differences, but also he will have difficulty dealing with loneliness.
In my opinion, after reading the excerpt written by Liu, it is quite a common phenomenone that he wanted to be with other Chinese. As a Chinese student studying abroad just like him, and also based on the different ways of communicating, making friends and dealing with things between China and America, I totally understand what he thought. And besides, I believe it’s a good idea to stay with Chinese people even they are strangers when Liu felt alone and frustrated.
Such experience also happened to me not only for one time. The first time setting foot on this place, I felt nervous and hopeless because there is no people for me to fluently communicate with. And as an international student, I suffered language difficulty all the time. All I hoped was when doing something, there was a Chinese who could help me. So every time how happy was me when hearing a Chinese voice. What’s more, I also found it really hard to make friends with native people, for they never regard you as one of them or you don’t trust them indeed. In conclusion, you like strangers to each other all the time. Therefore, we need to find someone, someone comes from our country, someone speaks our language and someone just looks like you.
