Raina Chareese Luke is 19 years old. She likes traditional Chinese clothing, especially the Qipao and Hanfu very much.
Luke is an international exchange (交换) student from Georgia, U.S. She is in a six-month Chinese language program at Tianjin University now. She joined the program last September (2023). However, her interest in Chinese language and culture began in her second year of middle school.
Luke started learning Chinese as her second foreign language, but back then only by chance. “I knew nothing about the country or the language I was about to learn,” she said. But she completely changed her mind after the first class. “Rather than asking us to learn new words or sentences, the Chinese teacher played a Chinese song Tian Mimi for us,” Luke said. She was attracted to the words of the song, and she became interested in the Chinese language.
From then on, Luke watched Chinese movies and soap operas in her free time. She also did a part-time job at a Chinese restaurant where she would practice her Chinese language skills with others. “The more I learn about China, the more interested I am in the Chinese culture,” Luke said. She finally made up her mind to come to study in China.
