day 9

The class meets at 8.10am at block 4 to prepare for the field trip to the steel making factory. It’s my first time going to a steel factory and I’m really curious on how it will look like. The factory was very big. It is around 1.5km long and when you walk in, you can feel the heat. We wore helmets just in case any accidents happen. Sadly they don’t allow any photography inside the factory and so we were not allow to take the steel making process. But once we get out of the production area, everyone start taking out their cameras and took pictures of the factory.

After the field trip, we went to grab our lunch at the backstreet behind the school and then went for our first IS lesson. We were taught by Ms Hong. She teaches about the olden days China and how it come about to the current day and also she said that China look like the "hen" on the map.

Ms Hong also said that she's joined the communist party since she was in university and I think she's quite proud of it because only people who do well in their studies are able to be accepted. After IS class, we went for dinner at another place. Then our China friend brought us to Chang Jiang to see the night view. It was pretty.

Reflection:
A new impression of China. I have never seen such wide river in my life and I am truly impressed with it. However, the sad thing was that the China friend told us that people jumped there to commit suicide and every year at least one. That was really sad and why can't they think of the people who cared for them before committing suicide.
