1. What changes have taken place in your hometown in the last 20 years?
Well, I'm pretty young but my parents always complain that my hometown’s traffic is much worse and they say prices are a lot higher. But I think on the positive side, life is better, Houses are in better condition and there are much better shops and cleaner conditions in the restaurants.
2. Has your life changed in the last 10 years and if so, in what ways?
I think my life has changes. It’s a bit more comfortable than it used to because my parents have more money than they used to have. I think I am a bit more responsible than I used to and am not quite as carefree.
3. Is there anything you’d like to change in your life?
Yes, my dependence on my parent. Right now I'm quite dependent on them for money and so I hope I can be more independent in the future and one day be able to support them instead of their always supporting me.
4. How different is your life from the lives of your parents?
It's very different. I have had many more opportunities and a much more
comfortable life than they had. I remember my father telling me stories about having just one egg to eat each week, and that was the highlight of his week. I can't really imagine life like that, so I'm grateful that I have a better life than my parents did. I appreciate their hard work to get us to this point in our lives.

Yes, very much in the last 10 years. Each year we are getting more tourists
coming to China since the open door policy. People see more foreigners, and are used to the sight of them now. China is becoming more cosmopolitan and people are getting to know more about the outside world.
6. Has the transport changed over the past 20 years in China?
Yes, a lot. We used to have very few bus lines years ago. Most people would use their bikes to get from places in the city. But now in big cities, there are more bus lines, so it’s a lot more convenient. Some cities also have subway lines and that makes things faster. There are also more taxis in cities and more people are also using that as a mode of transportation.
