PD Online:Did you face any culture differences?
Yu Wenxia: Sure. Different countries have diversified culture, history and living habits. In my opinion, it is important to respect their habits and try to understand each other.
PD Online: Have you ever tried to promote Chinese culture?
Yu Wenxia: I could not share much theoretical knowledge with them because of the language problem. However, I told them the influence of Chinese folk songs by singing Chinese folk songs in the talent contest. They like Chinese folk songs very much.
PD Online:You have mentioned that you are doing charity work at present. Which counties or regions have you been to so far?
Yu Wenxia: I have been to South Africa, France, Italy, Britain, and China of course.
PD Online:In your eyes, are there any differences between charity activities in China and in other countries?
Yu Wenxia: I think the only difference lies in the objects we aim to help. All charity activities share a common value that everyone can help others. Sometimes, you do not need to do something, just chat with them, have communications with children, and let them feel the beauty of the world, to influence them, as well as to help them.
