Undergraduate / China inspiration - Emory: My uniqueness and contribution. cultural stuff! [7]

Question:
Undergraduates at Emory and Oxford Colleges are offered countless opportunities to engage with the student body, the faculty, and your academic program of choice-from hands-on research to student organizations to volunteering. What are some of the programs and/or activities you would plan to get involved with on either campus, and what unique qualities will you bring to them? (250 word limit)

I love the way old people burn paper money at the corners of dark alleys so that their lost loved ones would be warm in the winter. So romantic.

I deem Chinese grandmas are the most loving and energetic senior citizens in the world. They dance in squads with pop music, wearing colorful skirts and heels which always make me join them.

These are a small portion of the beauty in my culture that was never so clear to me as I started to docent at Shandong Museum. With the help of thousand-year-old stone tablets, delicate Confucian silk scrolls and numerous curious tourists, I was able to share the roots of the ideology in me with people from all over the world, which I have madly fallen in love in doing so. When walking down my favorite brook with the reflection of chartreuse willows, I feverishly fill my thoughts with the exciting adventure that is spreading my culture, showing off my Chinese yo-yo technique at Lunar Banquet (most willingly sacrificing Valentine's day), or dragging local Georgian folks to my About China lecture series as they return home from the Emory University Hospital.

China is the forever invigorating vision and inspiration of mine that is influencing me in every way she can. I look forward to spread and exchange my stories growing up in Shandong in your diverse student body, as well as being a unique part of bridging east and west at the fascinating, vibrant city that is Atlanta.
