Ana Fernandez Perez, a passionate film producer based in New York, embarked on a life-changing journey to China in 2009. Her love for Chinese culture led her to Xiangtan City in central China's Hunan Province, where she spent a year working as a college teacher.
Despite having some knowledge about China beforehand, Ana found that her firsthand experience far exceeded her expectations. She was deeply impressed by the studious, grateful, and friendly nature of the local people.
During her time in China, Ana explored the country's breathtaking landscapes, sampled its unique culinary offerings, and immersed herself in the rich cultural heritage. These experiences not only broadened her horizons but also provided her with invaluable lessons and memories.
Even though Ana now resides across the ocean, the lessons and experiences she gained in China continue to influence her life. She often reflects on how China has become an integral part of her personal and professional journey.
