Final Blog

 November 27, 2024 

Time flies so fast, and it’s time to write my last blog.

In this semester, the most enjoyed blog I written is about something special(the lion dance) for me, because I have a deep and long relationship with this traditional dance in Chinese culture. I get excited when I see or others talk about lion dance, and there is nothing more attractive to me than it in that moment.

I think there's no blog I least enjoyed, because I write about different topics every time and the content is always interesting.

I always read the Blog about the closer people at first, and after that I will click in the blog of other classmate(random), and see if the upload their blog during the class or not(I read blogs rarely after class because I have work to do in other classes).

Blogs work always help me to improve my english writing skills, and sometime I feel the blog like a newspaper, there are a lot of interesting things about the story of my classmate.

I may write less blogs in the future, because the most important thing is the stories shared by classmates in the blog. But talk about English writing skills, I will continue to practice.

Something Special

November 20, 2024

Good Morning everyone! Today I´ve like to share with you about a special thing for me.

The thing is a ´lion´, but not a real and huge lion, so don´t worry about that(hhahah). It´s a ´lion dance´ I bought in China this year. I love lion dance so much, there´s a deep relationship between ´us´.

The Lion dance is a traditional dance in Chinese culture, there´s two performer in a lion costume and imitating lion movements, and one playing the drum, two-three person playing cymbals and one playing gong. I started leaning the drum in 5 years old because my neighbor is a grandmaster in ´lion dance´, and I learned it quickly, in one year I learned the three star drum, seven star drum and the ´local traditional´ drum. After that, I started to learn Lion dance, this part is very hard, because the performer in a lion costume need to collaborate with the drum. However, I´ve spend my time in something I like, no matter is difficult or something else, so I learned it no more than two years.

When I grow up, I told myself that in one day I´ll buy a ´lion dance´, because it´s meaningful with that experience, I look it, I learn it, and I play it. I still remember the first time I participated in lion dance(played the drum) in my village in Chinese new year, when I was 8 years old, there´s no mistake and played very well.

I bought a lion dance with yellow and gold color, the same color with the ´lion dance´ in my village, which mean loyalty. This type of lion looks more cute and peaceful because it´s modern foshan style, and the ´lion dance´ we use in our village is traditional heshan style, the face it´s a little bit aggressive.

A Piece of Technology

 November 12, 2024

Morning everyone! 

Hope´s you´re all doing well! Today I would like to share with you about a technology I used frequently: the iPad Pro 2020(128Gb Memory).

I bought it in 2020, during the pandemic, because I need a convenient thing to help me take online classes, and the iPad is one of the good choice (besides taking online classes, I have other plans). This iPad is easy to use(if you can use well a phone), looks like a phone with bigger screen, but Apple always update the iOS version with new features, and then it will not just be a simple touch on the screen,there will be many different gestures corresponding to different functions.

I usually use it to make videos in an app called Capcut, and I published my first video in july 7th,2020, that was the point that influenced me in the following years, because I finally found something I like. I don’t need anyone to tell me what I need to do, I will learn it myself.

I published 316 videos on my first channel over 3 years, with 38.53 million views, 872,000 likes and 144,000 subscribers. The last one was published in January 29th,2023. I got my Bilibili Creator Awards with 100k subscribers in November 18th,2022(looks like the ´youtube botton´, but the logo is Bilibili), the most excited thing in that moment.
