Chen Simo was born in Taiwan and grew up in Wuhan. Seeing both places as her home, she has joined many activities that help with cross-Strait communication (海峡两岸交流). She also tries her best to promote (弘扬) Chinese culture.

From July 10 to 18, she took part in a summer camp. Eighteen college students went from Taiwan to Xinjiang for a trip. Chen was surprised by the colorful culture there.

Chen studies at Shanghai International Studies University. She learns to tell Chinese stories to the world. She used Spanish to explore traditional Chinese festivals in a course.

In April, Chen had the chance to host the Chinese Bridge competition in Madrid, Spain. She saw the growing popularity of Chinese culture among Spanish people.

When I was in high school, I was shy and always didn’t know how to start a talk with others.

Once I was a member of a group in my high school, and we needed to prepare for an activity. Some volunteers were busy collating (核对) materials. I wanted to join them so much. Although I was nervous, I picked up my courage, came up to them and asked if there was something that I could help. However, one of the girls said, “No, thank you. There’s no work for you here.” After hearing her words, I stood there with great embarrassment (尴尬). At that time, another volunteer saw what happened and said, “Hey, there’s work to do and we need your help.” While I was working, the volunteer started conversations with me and introduced his classmates to me. With his warm help, I didn’t feel nervous anymore, starting talking with them happily.

Since then, I have become more outgoing and like to join in activities and make friends. I am thankful to the volunteer because he helped me solve the embarrassment. What’s more, he gave me a sense of belonging (归属) and brought me the joy of making friends.

I really want to pass the kindness forward to help more shy people to step out of their lonely world because no one is an island. Everyone, no matter who he is or what he likes, certainly needs friends. We need love from others and we should also love others.

9. Why did the writer feel embarrassed?
