Tao Chen - about e -sports, tall girls and Putin

Tao Chen came to St. Petersburg from China to continue the family business in the perfume trade. He seeks to develop Chinese-Russian relations and considers Petersburg the most suitable city for this.

In his free time, Tao is engaged in his team of e -sportsmen and trains in the game League of Legends. About the lag in technology, communication with gestures and Russian relaxation - in the story of the Chinese.

I was born and raised in the small Chinese city of Dunfan, without anywhere, without leaving. The first time Petersburg saw only a few years ago when he traveled as a tourist. And I liked everything in this city so much - from architecture to the mentality of people that I decided: in the future I will definitely live here.

At the same time, in Dunfan, I graduated from the undergraduate of a technological university, but did not want to work as a programmer in their specialty. Then I was interested in the business. My parents have been selling perfume all their lives and work closely with Russia. Therefore, I decided that this was a good opportunity to move.

Now I graduate from the second course of the magistracy in the specialty "Trade" and will soon be included in the business of my parents.

What did Russia teach you?

In St. Petersburg, very few people know English. I still teach Russian, so I speak it very badly on it. When I go to the store, I have to explain with gestures and well -known words: Yes, No, Okay. So now I will definitely not disappear anywhere in the world.

In addition, here all friends quickly become friends. There are a lot of people in China and a lot of those whom you do not know. And Petersburg is quite compact, but I know a lot of people. Their friendliness somehow passed to me. Here I became more sociable, although we and I speak English and I.

Even in Russia, everyone is very relaxed, even if everything is bad for them. In China, people always run and decide something. Here I learned to live today and for myself.

Who played an important role for you?

I cannot highlight someone alone. I am comfortable in St. Petersburg, and I want to live in Russia. At first, only the weather scared me, because there are cold winds, and I grew up by the warm sea. Neighboring neighbors helped me cope with this.

In general, I like everything: architecture, theaters, and Putin. I believe that your president is a great fellow who has not succumbed to the ons of the EU and US sanctions. In China, he would be supported. But at the same time I like that many people have a different view of this score - and we can argue.

People from the hostel helped me. They showed where it is best to take products. Without them, I would probably be poisoned by poor -quality seafood. They told how to deal with your traffic rules.

What would you like to transfer from your country to St. Petersburg?

Even in China, I began to engage in e -sports - it is very popular with us - and for two years I have been professionally playing League of Legends. In my hometown, we specially gathered and played; Now I just connect to them to the network. In Russia, this is not - and this is very bad, because the whole discipline in sports is lost.

Still in my family is not condemned when you sing aloud. When I moved to the hostel, they looked at me at first at first, and then asked not to do so. It seems to me that this is Russian pushing. I would like this to be easier to be treated.

Not only in St. Petersburg, but also in Russia very strange and often backward devices. I often see that my friends have less than 16 megapixels, and the phone works very slowly. When I had to buy a phone here, I was very disappointed.

Five finds in St. Petersburg

Why are you in St. Petersburg?

In the future, I want to develop Russian-Chinese relations, because our peoples are very close in mentality. It seems to me that it will only be useful both in economically and cultural.

I can no longer imagine myself outside Russia. When I come to China, I see more modern buildings, but I notice that there is no feeling in them. It seems to me that this set of the old and at the same time good is a purely Russian line. Russia and Petersburg are a possibility of self -realization.

Russian girls

There are very beautiful and beautiful girls here. Sorry, often very high.

2.

Castles and palaces from the past

I really love Catherine and Winter Palaces. You come in and feel the spirit of another era. In my hometown, old areas are very quickly built up - only new buildings remain. It seems to me that it is important to maintain the history of peoples.

3.

The mass of culture

In St. Petersburg, a very large selection of various cultural programs. And it’s even difficult to get there, because there are not enough tickets. It very surprises me.

4.

Russian cuisine

In my hometown, there are a lot of fresh seafood, but there are practically no them here. I had to completely change the diet. For example, I replaced fish with chicken, and good rice with potatoes.

5.

People in the hostel

I lived a lot of time in the house of my parents, and, having moved here, I settled in the inter -university student town in the Victory Park. There are a lot of people, the conditions are not the best, but everyone is happy. It's very cool. I would like to live here longer.
