Chengkai Li

Introduction English:

I’m Chengkai Li, a student from Chengdu Sichuan China, studying in St. Lawrence university in U.S. I can speak Chinese and English and I learn it in my high school which is an international department for studying aboard and I have lived in Chengdu for decades and it brings me a lot.

We have our own dialect in our city which is a symbol of people lived in Chengdu. Dialect in Chengdu is quite similar to Mandarin with a different accent so that most Chinese people can understand. When I talk in dialect, it is funny but not stop us communicating with each other. It becomes an interesting thing and characteristic of people from Chengdu. Dialect has not only defined me as a citizen in Chengdu, but also given me a sense of home and a feeling that many people is supporting me.

Also, I have many favorite foods, most of which are spicy, like hot pot, mapo tofu and I’m learning to cook.

Introduction 中文:

我是李成凯，来自成都，现在在圣劳伦斯大学上学。我会讲中文和英文。我是在高中的时候学习的英文，我的高中是一个面向出国留学的国际部。我在成都生活了很多年，他也带给了我很多东西。

我们有自己的方言。成都话成为了成都人的一种标志。因为成都话和普通话很接近，大部分中国其他地区的人都能听懂。所以当我们和别人讲成都话的时候不会有障碍，反而是一件很有趣的事。

我最喜欢的食物有很多，大多都是辣的，像火锅啊，麻婆豆腐。我现在也在学习如何烹饪它们。
