I am impressed that an American engineering student willing go to China, learn the language, technical knowledge, and learn the culture. What an open-minded girl!!!

Chinese are doing a commendable job.. Everything looks so clean, beautiful and environmentally friendly.

Both me and my husband went to Nanjing University. But we met and got married in US. Back then we were in the old campus in the city center area. So many precious memories are all coming back.

China’s infrastructure and green space are stunning. Thanks for sharing.

If people in the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe hear that your university has gates surrounding the entire compound, they'll say you are in a concentration camp against your will and being forced to study.

It's just incredible that you can write thesis in Chinese, thumb up.

[pgrzh]

A calm, logical voice only belongs to a good student.

The city you are in looks so peaceful and promising. Your positive attitude makes me want to watch all your videos! It makes me want to visit China.

Wonderful video! Nanjing is beautiful. The university is huge and great environment for studying. Enjoy your study and life in China. Your positive personality fits in perfect in China. As a parent, I know your parents will feel safe for you to live in China.

Really appreciate people who don't easily believe in what they are told but believe in what they experience for themselves.

I worked as a research intern at Nanjing University in the environmental science department back in 2018! This video brought back so many fond memories, from the subways, rental bikes, and student canteens to the graduate student offices (looked identical to when I worked there). I had such a great time there and everyone was so friendly, even though I could barely speak Chinese back then. I hope you love your time there!

Hey Katherine, I will need to give you even more credit as an American woman studying in China. I get dizzy reading heavily texted document in Chinese and you took it in stride and thrive with your thesis. And I appreciate how you have embrace the culture, never complaint about anything or getting stuck in the small cubby hole of an office with many other students. You can and will be an ambassador that bridge the people and help countries coexist peacefully together. Keep up the good work.

What an eye-opener! There the whole world can see, why China will be the next superpower and will for sure be successful. Such a beautiful, orderly, clean, calm yet diligent and impressive university I have never ever seen in any western country, and for sure not in the U.S.

Good job choosing such a great place for your master!

I miss being able to go out late at night in China, can't really do that in America :/

[dazhouwu]

I moved to Xianlin 14 years ago and now studying in the UK. Xianlin was literally a rural area 14 years ago with little infrastructure, but now it becomes a super urbanized and convenient community full of young students and lots of foreigners. Really miss Xianlin and thank you for this nice video!

I went to the British School of Nanjing and so the nostalgia I feel thinking about the city is immense. I am truly very glad that I have had the sublime experience of living in that country. It is so outlandishly different from western that it makes you miss it profoundly. I will return one day.

[angusyoung]

One of the most challenging aspects is putting technical terms into Chinese equivalent terms. That's why you really surprise me with your paper written all in Chinese.

[Peter-uozr]

Thank you 阳离子 for showing us you are having a pleasant time in China. I know it is a dream that cannot be realized, but I wish all US citizens would be as well-travelled as you!

[bojanapavlovic]

I was a student at 南师大，did my masters and PhD there. I treasure those times. ☺️ ♥️ Nanjing♥️♥️ Really like your channel and the way you spread the knowledge about China. ☺️👏🇨🇳

Nanjing is my most favourite Chinese city. I visited this city almost yearly from 2009 and was an international volunteer at the YOG 2014. Can’t wait for the pandemic to be over to visit this beautiful city again.
