Humans of AISG: Hedy Zhu 小朱姐姐

The happiest moment for me at school was seeing how you guys were pleased with the food I made; at that moment, I felt like all the busy work was worth it.

Here in AISG, we have a friendly atmosphere; this is what I love about working here. Everyone is amiable and the teachers are extremely nice.

I love being around children, chatting with you guys, seeing what kinds of things you guys learned. When I hear you guys talking about what types of things you guys are learning, I felt like, at the same time, I am also learning these things.

But one challenge I need to face is the language barrier. However, I can communicate with most people with my beginner English because everyone here is really patient.

I love hiking in GZ, seeing the incredible views and nature; I feel inspired while hiking with my friends. There are also a lot of great museums here in Guangzhou that I love going to during the weekends.

I grew up in Conghua District, the northernmost district of the prefecture-level city of Guangzhou. I love my hometown, and it has a different atmosphere from a big city like Guangzhou. I especially miss my friend and family.

The green mountains, green water, blue sky, and other ecological natural environments in Conghua are stunning, and the scenery is so charming.

I definitely recommend checking out the Shimen National Forest Park! The scenery is so breathtaking. The air is also very fresh from all the mountains and trees. 

The hot spring in Conghua is very famous; I think most people know that and is definitely worth checking out someday.
