What fascinated you the most about living in China? 

生活在中国，最吸引你的是什么？

One of the things that fascinates me the most about China is the security that this country provides, especially for a woman. The tranquility of being able to walk at dawn knowing that nothing is going to happen to you.

中国最吸引我的地方就是，生活在这个国家充满安全感，特别是对一个女人来说。你敢在凌晨散步，因为你知道不会发生任何危险的事情，只管享受这份宁静。

What is your unique China story?

你在中国有什么特别的经历？

I am a faithful believer that things do not happen without a reason, even if China was not in my plans. Life gives you what you need and not what you think you need. China has given me the privilege of having a good quality of life and a job that possibly in another part of Europe I would not have gotten..

我一直相信，事情不会无缘无故发生，中国不在我的计划之内。生活会给你真正需要的东西，而不是你认为需要的东西。中国给了我更好的生活和工作，这是我在欧洲其它国家无法得到的。

The most wonderful thing about being here is the possibility of meeting people from all over the world. Most of us come from our countries with a closed mind, when we arrive here, our experiences enrich our lives and modify our vision of the world. I do not think that what China has provided me with is anything material, but something more valuable that has to do with the expansion of knowledge about many aspects of life.

Add a random fun fact about your country or hometown

再讲讲关于西班牙巴塞罗那一些有趣的知识

Continuing with the aforementioned, it is fun to go back to your home country and see that people don’t let go of preconceived ideas about China and other places in the world. When you tell them about the things you have experienced and how wrong they are in many of their prejudices, you feel that you come from another world.

咱们接着往下讲，回到祖国，就会觉得人们对中国和世界其他地方存在先入为主的看法，这很有趣。你告诉他们你的所见所闻，向他们解释许多偏见是错误的，你会觉得自己来自另一个世界。

Every time I return to Barcelona, there is one side of China that I always miss. In my life abroad it feels like there is always an anecdote or valuable experience at the end of each day, but when I return to my hometown the days seem boring, as well as the conversations that I share with people. It feels like in my hometown nothing has changed and I feel that I no longer belong to any place specific place in the world, but to everywhere.

每次我回到巴塞罗那，我总会怀念中国的某一方面。在国外生活，感觉每天都会经历一件有趣或者令人受益匪浅的事情，但当我回到家乡时，日子过得很无聊，和别人聊天也变得无聊起来。感觉我的家乡没有发生什么变化，我感觉我不再拘泥于一个地方生活，而是到每个地方畅游。
