By analyzing two videos"Chinese in foreigners' eyes"and"China, How is it", I am going to talk about the most impressive culture mentioned by foreigners in these videos with further discussion. And only when we deeply understand our culture, not just see it by its out layer, can we explain our culture to the world effectively. In the first part, I will talk about the most impressive Chinese culture in foreigners' eyes, and in the second part I will talk about some effective and objective ways to show what China is about.展开更多
