During a summer internship in 2013, the author met a foreign friend named Mary from the US. Though they struggled to communicate verbally due to differences in English and Chinese language ability, they were able to connect through body language and spending time together. The author showed Mary around sites of interest on weekends, and Mary enjoyed learning about Chinese culture and found Chinese people to be friendly and hard working. By the end of the internship in August when Mary returned to the US, the two had formed a cherished friendship and the author was invited to visit America in the future.
