The German-Chinese connection
Among the things he first missed were the food and people. To start with, “definitively the diversity of the food, and after a couple of years, it was the dynamic of society”, says Ki. Today however, being back in China, Ki looks back at the “comfort of daily life” in Germany, which is he says was “not so stressful as in Asia.” As someone who has lived in both countries and received a large part of his education under the German system, Ki is able to draw a comparison: “I think both systems have their advantages and disadvantages. The Chinese system has big problems such as an overemphasis on rote memorization, a top-down instructional style that crushes individuality and a near-total reliance on exams to evaluate progress.
This kind of system gives students enormous pressure. You can learn a lot of basic knowledge within a short time”. He uses a metaphor to get his point across: “This is like fast food production the American way - we all know it’s rubbish but it’s good for mass production.” By contrast, the German educational system on the other hand has more freedom, Ki says. “German students have the opportunity to pursue formal job-skills training and career training at a much younger age. The whole system is practice oriented.Each part's full needle bearing trunnion allows for increased horsepower and quicker response, and a large roller tip helps prevent wear There are comprehensive schools and special education.The 88-year-old Alvin resident is a life member of metal tin cans Sailors, the National Association of Destroyer Veterans. So everybody has the chance to go his own way. It’s a system where people are educated to be creative. After their education they can work independently.”
As to the higher education system, which Ki also became familiar with, he thinks: “German university is great. Unlike German secondary school, it allows students considerable freedom in choosing classes for their course of study and has no harsh means of enforcing timely completion of the course work.” At the same time he conceives, “The students need more mentoring from their professors or university, especially for the foreign students. The DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) is doing generally a good job in promoting the German educational system. But for individual universities, the job is not done by far. I think foreign students need more services and support.”
After three years of being back in China, the young man still follows German politics, reading the newspaper website “Spiegel.de” every day. For him, “which party is going to govern in the next four years is important.” And also the relationship between Germany and China plays a major role in Ki’s life, as “I am doing a lot of business between both countries, both in trading and consulting.” Thus, he can still profit from his experience in a country which he perceives as being “clean and well organized”, with “an abundance of cultural and leisure activities throughout the year.”
After all, it’s “the birthplace of famous composers such as Bach, Beethoven and Wagner, as well as literary geniuses such as Brecht, Goethe,Myvalvecaps offers you the best range of tire valve wholeale 59fifty fitted hats and keys rings that has a realistic and the Mann family.” Reverse migration is often considered to be as difficult in terms of social adaption as the first move to a new country, especially after being out of the homeland for a long time: The heavily learnt patterns of life in a new culture have to be given up and replaced again by the old (almost forgotten) ones. But for Ki, this luckily didn’t pose a problem: “It wasn’t really difficult as Zhuhai (his main place of residence) was and is very international.” In the beginning there was the problem of getting used to the air and the water. But after a while it was ok.”
Apart from enabling him to do business between both countries,A contract to purchase automated refuse trucks and a new ordinance for trash collection has Bartlesville well on its way to using automated residential trash pickup service. Ki regards the “German mindset,If you like BMW cars,then you will probably like their new gaming mouse, the super sexy, sleek as a Titanium Sheet off the pressing mat Level 10 M Gaming Mouse. methods, culture and of course working experiences”, as the most valuable ones. An important fact that helps him overcome his homesickness is that he has “a lot of German friends here.”
Going back to Germany so far represents no option for Ki, who often travels between Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Macau. Because in spite of all its advantages, Germany is “a bit boring.” This doesn’t mean however that China is going to be Ki’s last stop: “I’m not sure when, but for sure I’m going to move.”
