Thank you for your question. This topic makes me think about my best friend at my university whose name is Felix. He is really into sports, mainly soccer and badminton, which are also my favorite sports. We have known each other since the very first recruitment meeting for Student Union in college. He was one of the first people waiting for the application. After some small talk, I found out that we had a lot of shared interests, especially with sports.

From then on, we often hung out together. I probably saw him 3 or 4 times a week. He is really an extrovert with a great sense of humor. Like I said before, he is very passionate about Student Union at our university. He worked very hard for the organization, mostly focusing on students, extracurricular activities like sports competitions between different departments and schools. Even though he devoted all his effort, he never asked for something in return.

I think different color have different personality. However, different country have different culture, so we have different opinion on different color, for example, last class we discussion why many e-commerce platforms are keen on red like JD KOLA and so on. On the contrary, foreign websites like to use black or some single color ,that makes the web looks more clean and simple. The reason is red represent happy in China, Chinese always use red on some traditional festival or some happy occasion like wedding,and we always use black on some unhappy occasion like funeral. so most of e-commerce platform will use red on sale promotion day or some festival, red will catch people’s eyes and push to buy more goods. However, red is also represent dangerous in some special occasion, because the color of blood is red, so we always look the warning signal is red.

I think different colors represent different personalities. Due to different cultures, the meaning of colors may change/ alternate. For example, last class we discussed why many e-commerce platforms are keen on the color red like JD KOLA and so on. On the contrary, foreign websites like to use black or some plain colors, which allow the web to have a cleaner and simpler look. Red represents happiness in China, Chinese always use red for some traditional festivals or some happy occasions like weddings,and we always use black on some unfortunate occasions like funerals. so most of e-commerce platform will use red for discounts, red is eye-catchy and pushes people to buy more goods. However, red is also represents danger in some special occasion, because the color of blood is red, so we always see that the warning signals are red.


Recently I was obsessed with a Korean reality show. The main character of the show is 刘在石, he is a very popular MC in Korean. He always to help some young actor, because he hope young actor have more chance to show themselves, then the entertainment industry will develop better.

Now he has to be a MC for 20 years, he still want to accept more challenge and bring more happy to the audience. He try to learn drum, sing Trot and so on, Trot is a traditional music. However, a lot of popular music appearance, the traditional music become unpopularity. because of the show, more and more young people began to like Trot, even children also love it. I think the show not only bring happy for audience but also spared more national culture, it’s great.

Recently I am obsessed with a Korean reality show. The main host of the show is 刘在石, he is a very popular MC in Korea. He always to helps some young actors, because he wants them to get a chance to reveal/show their abilities to the audiences. 

Now he has been a MC for 20 years, he is still open to challenges and brings laughters to the audiences. He tries to learn drum, sings Trot which is a traditional music,  and so on. Since the rise of pop music appearance, the traditional music has lost its place/value. Due to the show, more and more young people, even children, begin to like Trot. I think the show not only brings happiness for the audiences, but also brings forth the national/ethnic culture, it’s great.
