OpenF2F Class Notes 7th July (Celeste)

Original

If we think about who is a famous foreign person in China, most time we will say 大山 who is a Canadian and he have been in China from 1988 to now as a scholar、host and actor. Now he also is a standup comedy actor with Chinese and westerner culture. He is first one as a foreign person to show The short sketch on the China spring festival gala in 1989. So when I was child, he also had well-known. Maybe he understand Chinese traditional culture more than us.
