I first discovered China Daily a few years ago. It was my first visit to China, and I was waiting for my tour guide to arrive. I sat down and picked up an English-written newspaper with the title CHINA DAILY.

Why had I immediately liked China Daily after just one reading of it? 3

First of all, China Daily writes about both Western and Chinese culture, so both sides of the world can learn something about their cultural traditions. An example to support this reason is an article called William Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu I read just the other day. Both the wonderful playwrights(剧作家) died in 1616, the newspaper managed to compare two influential playwrights from China and the UK.

Second of all, China Daily writes not only about culture. There are also many more types of great articles in China Daily including forums, news and more.

Third of all, one of my favorite things about China Daily is that there are always articles that are made up of simple photos of China.

Thank you, China Daily, for changing my view on Chinese culture, beauty and China forever! You taught me and showed me so much.
