you received the award of “TOP 10” ?
I felt mixed emotions. I was confused and not sure how I made it. But, after momentary disbelief, I was so happy and proud to receive the award on behalf of my school CCNU. Winning this award is an added bonus of my participation this time.
Q2
How did you prepare for
the competition?
In your view, what are the merits
of you that helped you
win the "TOP 10"?
I did all my best to try to sell cardigans, shoes, jewelry and even some high-tech products. I can’t tell you how fun and exciting this experience is! And I think my personality pulled me through to a large extent. It always helps when you're genuinely friendly with other people. I think I showed that through my Livestream and work place.
Q3
Were there any difficulties in
preparing for the competition?
How did you solve them?
There were so many people in a single room while I was going to sell things via livestreaming, which made me really nervous. My teacher in CCNU encouraged me to calm down and just focus on presenting the products. Many other people there also kept telling me: “Be natural!” All of these things spurred me to keep doing it, and I finally made it!

and college activities, what do you
think are the benefits of these
activities to our study and life?
I can gain some precious experience from them, which provides me with more opportunities to find a job I like. And it's a great way to explore new cultures, meet new people and form connections with them.
Q5
What’s your expectation
and plan for the future?
In the future, if I stay in China, then I do plan to keep studying new things. Learning is an effective approach to enrich myself. If I go back home, I will work in tourism. It is vital for the economy, and I am eager to contribute to the future development of my country.
