Patrick: 我最初对亚洲文化,特别是日本文化很感兴趣,这促使我最终来到中国。2008年金融危机后,我的人生跌入低谷,但这也成为了我人生的转折点。我开始从事配音工作,并最终有机会来到中国旅行,我立刻爱上了重庆这座城市。为了能再次回到中国,我努力获得了教师资格证,并在重庆的一所培训学校找到了一份工作。重庆的基础设施建设让我感到震惊,地铁系统四通八达,非常便利。此外,重庆的美食也让我难以忘怀,尤其是火锅,虽然吃多了会上火,但我还是欲罢不能。我计划让我的孩子们在中国长大,因为这里非常安全,而且没有西方社会盛行的“觉醒文化”。中国的生活成本相对较低,医疗、食品和交通都很便宜。我现在的收入足以支撑整个家庭的生活,这在美国是难以想象的。我经常在社交媒体上与那些对中国持有偏见的人辩论,因为他们只是在重复西方媒体的宣传。我希望通过我的努力,让更多的人了解真实的中国,从而改善中美关系,避免战争的发生。 Jason: 美国人对中国存在很多误解,妖魔化中国并不符合美国的利益。增进美国人对中国的了解,深化中美之间的关系,对美国来说至关重要。我努力帮助美国人更好地了解中国,增进中美之间的关系。
