high school I studied clothing design, and made clothes everyday I took scissors to the fabric, and used a  sewing machine. Good time – Chinese universities have no entertainment – for example a party – each class has 30 persons but only one boy – all of the girls bully him – he helped me take books, and use hot water. In China if you study fashion, there will be more girls than boys. But in foreign countries many boys study fashion as well. I had many friends in university. I studied teaching, visual arts, and room design. There are two kinds of Chinese universities. One kind is li ke science where you  study math and there is liberal arts 文科 where you study history. I was in a painting college.
