China has a long history of over 5, 000 years. What can stand for China in foreign students’ eyes? The newspaper reporter interviewed some foreign students.

Tom, America The Great Wall is a symbol of China in my eyes. It’s one of the ancient walls in the world. I went to the Great Wall with my family last year. I enjoyed the beautiful sights when we got to the top.

Jill, Canada China is the name of a country. But the word china also means porcelain (瓷器). I think porcelain is the symbol of China.
