The international online Henan channel reported (Zhang Yuqing): "Before coming to Henan to study, my cousin told me that Henan is the hometown of kung fu. So I used to be curious, can everyone in Henan do kung fu? Recently, in an interview with the international online Henan channel, Mongolian students said with peace of mind.
In the more than two years of living in Henan, Anxin found that great changes have taken place here, and the street landscape, commercial trade, farming and planting have developed better and better.
In July, as a representative of international students from North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Anxin was invited to participate in the "Into the Central Plains, Perception of China" 2021 International Student Henan Tour Activity jointly sponsored by the Foreign Affairs Office of the Henan Provincial Government, the Provincial Department of Education and the North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power. In this activity, more than 20 international students from 6 schools went to Zhengzhou, Ruzhou, Dengfeng and other places together, leaving many wonderful and unforgettable memories.

"I visited the Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng, which is a very beautiful place. We also enjoyed the kung fu show which was simply amazing! "Anxin said that when he was very young, he watched almost all of Jackie Chan's movies, and then became interested in Chinese kung fu." Similarly, our country also has monks and temples, but we don't have kung fu, maybe this is the difference. Reassured said.
In daily study and life, Anxin gradually learned about the history and culture of Henan, and gained more understanding of the Yellow River flowing through Henan. Speaking of the history of the Yellow River, it is reassuring to tell: the Yellow River is the second longest river in China, the mother river of the Chinese nation, and has given birth to an ancient and great Chinese civilization. For more than 3,000 years, the Yellow River Basin has been the political, economic and cultural center of the country, and the level of ancient China's development represented by the Yellow River Basin has long been ahead of the world.
During his university years, Anxin participated in activities such as cultural festivals and came into close contact with traditional Intangible Cultural Heritage arts in Henan, such as Yu opera, paper-cutting, and woodblock prints. "I think intangible heritage is one of the most important things in a country, including dialects, folklore, folk music, seasons, folk literature, traditional skills, etc." Peace of mind expressed.
In the future, Anxin wants to go to Luoyang to have a look, because she has heard that the Longmen Grottoes are the world's largest and largest treasure house of stone carvings.
