Enjoying life in Shenzhen and giving back

Shenzhen’s rapid evolution has left me in awe. The city’s growth, cultural richness, and friendly atmosphere have made it his favorite place in China.

My love for the country extends beyond business to the language, food, and even Chinese opera, which moves me to tears with its elaborate costumes, expressive performances, and deep cultural roots. It was as if a door to Chinese culture had been opened, allowing me to connect on a profound level.

The city’s cultural tapestry also helps me find a deeper sense of belonging. There are a lot of cultural events and exhibitions. Shenzhen Daily and some local organizations like the Shekou MSCE also provide a lot of information and organize some events. I have taken part in the Cantonese and Tai Chi classes organized by the Shekou MSCE.

I plan to give back to the community by organizing a small conference and sharing my insights, contributing to the vibrant expat scene that has welcomed me so warmly.
