1. Introduction to China

The ancient Yellow River flows uninterruptedly from east to west for thousands of years. Silk was made into cloth, while clay was made into pottery and ceramics. Millions of stones were piled into the Great Wall. The country created many wonders, such as the Great Wall, Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Terracotta Warriors, and Chinese Kung Fu. Beijing is the capital of Zhongguo, or China, which opens to and embraces the world. The Beijing Olympic Games 2008, and the Shanghai World Expo 2010 were held here in Zhongguo. Peking Opera and Western Opera are performed on the same stage. Cultures of the whole world show brilliant vitality in this ancient country. This is Zhongguo. Hope you can understand her, appreciate her, and love her. All the Chinese people, black-eyed and yellow-skinned welcome you with open arms.

一条古老的黄河贯穿东西，流淌千年。蚕丝制成服装，黏土烧成陶瓷，石头垒出万里长城。这个国度创造了很多奇迹，长城、敦煌莫高窟、兵马俑、功夫。北京是中国的首都，它开放国门走向现代。2008 年奥运会、2010 年上海世博会在中国召开。京剧和歌剧在这里同台，世界文化在这里同放异彩。这就是中国！希望你可以了解她，欣赏她，爱上她。所有黄皮肤、黑眼睛的中国人都张开双臂热情的欢迎你。
