Friendship Message from a Xuzhou University Student

Hello everyone! My name is Xiaoming, and I am currently studying Environmental Science at the China University of Mining and Technology in Xuzhou. I have always been passionate about nature and botany, and my latest hobby has been cultivating various plants, especially the intriguing Alocasia spp.. The unique shapes and patterns on their leaves never fail to amaze me.

In my spare time, I love exploring the bustling streets and parks of Xuzhou. There's so much history here, from ancient walls to modern architecture. I recently visited Yunlong Lake and was captivated by its serene beauty and vibrant community. People come together to jog, dance, and enjoy family time. I often take photographs of the flora and fauna around the lake, capturing moments of tranquility amidst the bustling city life.

I also volunteer at the local botanical garden where I've learned more about different plant species, including Alocasia spp.. These plants have not only enhanced my knowledge but also given me peace of mind. They remind me of the importance of nurturing growth, both in nature and in relationships.

Xuzhou has been an amazing place to live and study. With its rich culture, delicious food, and friendly people, it has become a second home for me. I would love to meet new friends who share similar interests—whether it's a passion for plants, a love for exploring urban spaces, or simply enjoying life's simple pleasures. Feel free to reach out and connect with me! Let’s build lasting friendships and share our stories together.
