STUDYING IN CHINA
China is so vast in area (the third largest country after Russia and Canada) and in population (one-fifth of humanity) that almost anything said about the nation could be true. It is crowded (in cities) and sparsely settled (in remote rural areas); the Chinese are one people, yet the government recognizes 55 ethnic minorities; the Chinese revere centuries-old traditions, but they also embrace Western fashions, music and fast food; ancient architecture survives alongside modern buildings. Chinese people are friendly and welcoming, and country dwellers are especially down-to-earth and warm-hearted. In sum, China is diverse, huge and internationally important.
School
The school year typically runs from early September through the end of July. School is usually in session from 7:30–8:00 a.m. to 4:00–4:30 p.m., with some optional sports, music, club or study sessions taking place after 4 p.m. The school day is typically divided into seven lessons, with a lunch break between noon and 1:30 p.m. Chinese schools and classrooms are typically large, with 35 to 50 students in a classroom.
LIVING IN CHINA
Lifestyle and Family Living
The Confucian ethic of proper social and family relationships forms the foundation of Chinese society. The Chinese have a strong sense of family, and they respect hierarchy and interpersonal obligations. Often, both parents in a family work outside the home. Families generally include one child, and it is not uncommon for a grandparent to live with the family. Parents expect to know when their children are going out and where they are going.
Dress and Appearance
Chinese teenagers, while dressing very much according to popular teenage styles worldwide, wear their school uniforms most of each day during the week and at all school-sponsored events. You should bring jeans or other casual pants, T-shirts, collared shirts, sweaters, comfortable shoes for walking, a bathing suit, raincoat and a full range of warm clothing for the winter months, including warm underwear, snow boots and a heavy jacket. For special occasions, more formal dress is expected: for women a dress or blouse and skirt; for men a jacket, slacks and tie.
