The city has changed a lot, the Putuo district. I think shanghai is a international city in China.

I never have been there but I have a boyfriend, which is very close to USA, he lives in Toronto, and we started in the same school in Shanghai for many years. We started in the same class, when I was seven years old. He came to Shanghai and we had dinner together, but soon he came back to Canada again, we want to live together in the future. I haven’t got my visa due to the virus, because I want to improve my spoken English and go to Canada next year. His spoken English is very good he’s been in Canada for ten years. His job is a salesmen so he can talk a lot.

When he is driving, he always has a video call with me, so he asks me when will come to Canada. To be honest, I think its best to stay in China.

Suzhou and Hangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai is the best, the house rental expensive. I think Putuo is the best because that’s where I’m at now. I have all the memories in Putuo, so my private school was in Putuo and my high school was in Putuo.  I studied very hard every day in High school. Because you have to take part in the GaoCao exams.
