For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

A little experiment:  I translated a daily affirmation, with a little help, into Chinese.  I hope some Chinese speakers will translate it back into English.  Then I would like to post the original with the new translations.  Please translate!

我有心耐,是好心人。周围的人也是好心的。不管什么事情发生了,心无杂念,所以我跟别人和睦相处。

The idea is to get a few different responses just to see the variations when it gets back to English. Just for fun!

Thanks, Elle! Looks quite good. Anybody else want to give it a try?

I am patient, I am a good person, the people around me are good people too. No matter what happened, there is no panic no worries, so I am amiable with people.

 

I may not translate the right way but I try to say it as right as I can.
