Hello everyone. My name isAliya Isakhanova, and I am from Uzbekistan. I am 26 years old. I started university in 2015 and graduated in 2021. I am very grateful to China for giving me an important period of learning in my life. It taught me how to overcome difficulties and solve problems on my own without my parents' help. I went through a lot there—there were moments of sadness, but there were even more happy memories. I met people who are still by my side today, and I also made my best friend. I am deeply grateful to our university for providing us with so much knowledge and teaching us so many valuable lessons. After six years, I graduated from the university I love so much. Whenever exams approached or when I didn’t pass them, there were always many tears and a lot of anxiety. Finally, the moment I received my diploma, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Now, in Uzbekistan, it has been over a year since I last returned to China. Every day, I think of my student years, and I miss Beijing very much. Beijing has become my second home. When the COVID-19 pandemic is over, I will definitely return to Beijing, the place where I grew up. There are still many things in China that I haven’t had the chance to do; I still want to visit every city in China and reunite with the friends who stayed there. So, my dear China, my dear home, please wait for me. I will definitely come back to visit our teachers, say thank you to each and every one, and tell everyone that I love you all.
