My name is Leo. I’m from Australia, And I’ve been teaching in China for two years. I teach in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province. This really an interesting city with a very colorful history. There is some European influence in the city, and some of the old buildings in Harbin are in Russian style.

Since I came to China, I’ve been learning a lot about my family history. Although I’m Australian, my family is Jewish. So it was very interesting for me to learn that a lot of Jews came to live in Harbin many years ago. My parents were so surprised when I told them about this in China. In fact, the first Jews probably came to Kaifeng more than a thousand years ago, and were welcomed by the Song Emperor.

When I lived in Australia, I studied history at school, but we usually studied Australian or western history. However, when I heard that I was going to work in China, I started studying Chinese history. I’ve been studying for over two years now. My friends in Australia said that Chinese history was very hard to understand, but I don’t really agree. I think if you study hard, you’ll be able to understand any culture. For a foreigner like me, the more I learn about Chinese history, the more I enjoy living in China.
