I could hardly describe my thought when I was told that I was selected from many applicants as a communicator who would go to Xiamen University for a one-year study in 2004. It was filled with joy, excitement, and a little more surprise in my mind. After all, it was really difficult for me to have my talent showing itself among so many excellent students in Shandong University. It seemed to be my hard working day and night which had led me to success.

    It took me over 30 hours from Jinan to Xiamen by train. As soon as I got off the train, I was greatly astonished at the cityscrape. Cars were running fast on the square-built road. Skyscrapers could be seen far and near. Greenbelt which made me relaxed and happy was filled with flowers and grass. I regretted that I could live in Xiamen for only one year, without enough enjoyment of the agreeable life.

    Xiamen seemed to be a commercial city which is not suitable for scientific research. However, the academic atmosphere in Xiamen University was no less than other famous universities in China. I was busy with my assignments day and night, and I had never felt unfixed during the year.

    How time flies! After I had gained plentiful knowledge, I had to say goodbye to Xiamen University and go back to my alma mater. However, the imposing communion which could be regarded as an experience out of the common would become a permanent memory for me. It would also become an impetus on my way to success in the future.
