Meiyu, born in 1991, is from Turkey (土耳其) , She is the youngest child of her family. After high school, many
people learned English or Japanese, but Meiyu decided to learn Chinese in
university. She learned Chinese for four years in Ankara University in Turkey, and
got her name Meiyu there.
Meiyu fell in love with Chinese after going
to university. She became more interested after she knew more about Chinese
history. In the beginning many people did not understand her decision. But they
all said Meiyu had made a right choice when she graduated from university in
2013. Since then, more Chinese have been visiting Turkey. The trade between the
two countries also requires Chinese speaking people. "Speaking Chinese
means more job opportunities," said Meiyu.
Now Meiyu has been in Wuhan, China for
about two years. Besides going on studying Chinese, she shows great interest in
Chinese kung fu as well, so she spends her free time on kung fu training with
her coaches. Not only can kung fu help improve her health, but she is also fascinated
by the history and culture behind it. Meiyu said, "The more I know about
China, the luckier I feel to have been here. But the truth is that fun and pain
go together in the process of learning."
Meiyu will graduate in June this year. Her
friends want her to stay in China, but her parents hope she can come back home.
Meiyu thinks it is difficult to decide. "Even if I go back to Turkey, I
will choose Chinese language education as my job," said Meiyu.
