One Place, One World

Situated in the middle part of the Asia world, China, one of the world biggest country, is the world of diversity, having a huge population in this planet. Having lived here, just one part of China, for about 4 months, I founded something new and interesting about China; generally speaking throughout the world, China is a world of languages, cultures, customs, beliefs, and administration preparation.

Controlling over 22 provinces, China has five subdivisions officially termed "autonomous regions", namely, Guangxi, inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and Tibet. The four municipalities – Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin – can be collectively referred to as "mainland China"; having claimed officially by China, Hong Kong and Macau is termed to as "special administrative regions".

As I know so far, each province of China has its own culture, belief, language, foods, and administrative management, which is authorized to manage with its style to adapt to local people. Thanks to the past time of Mao's regime Mandarin Chinese was put as standardized language of this nation.  If it was not Mandarin  Chinese, we would have to spend time learning more than 22 languages if we want to live easily in this nation, but still elder people in some areas could not speak Mandarin at all. As far as the development booms the country, Shanghai becomes the world's busiest container port.

Located in the Yangtze River Delta in eastern China, Shanghai – where I live and work for my six-month internship – sits at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the middle portion of the Chinese coast. The municipality borders Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces to the west, and is bounded to the east by the East China Sea. It is an amazing time for me living in this nation.
