Pakistani boy believes China as second homeland

Before coming to China I read so many articles regarding Chinese history and believe me I felt and wished every nation should learn from China and Since China-Pakistan both are very good friends this was very proud moment for me. After coming here I realized Chinese people are very helping, caring and loving. They don't think you are from other country if you gave them respect and love they will give you in double. In this article I will not discuss or tell you about COVID-19 out breakdown because now as it is spreading almost all over the world so through internet, social media and News channels you all know very well about this virus and also everyone knows how to protect themselves. Here I just wanted to appreciate China they are Symbol of Unity, for all over the world how they succeeded and defeat virus. I think they did an amazing job of knocking the virus down you're Great Example for Others. In this pandemic situation they did not only take good care of their nation but Chinese government also put foreigners on first priority most of my friends from different countries left china and went back to their country but I prefer to stay here because I believed on China government and I am happy with my decision. My university played a vital role in this period of time. I heartily appreciate them The Time You Put in Really Shows.

When you go to other country you don't have your family your friends and we miss everyone but if there atmosphere is friendly and helping I would say not 100 percent but 70 percent might be you adjusted there very well. I miss my family a lot but now I feel like china is my second homeland You're Special.

I learnt so many good things from china and Chinese people recently this is biggest example for whole world how they controlled virus and saved us that is remarkable Thank You For Caring us.

During this out break I have written something for China it will show some of my love for china I guess but these lines are came from my heart and full of dedication for CHINA.

We are not afraid of hell
We don't desire heaven
We don't require angel
We don't believe in doomsday
Neither in fortune
Nor we rely on religion
We don’t pray for what we need
We don't earn rewards for life after death
We believe in right here right now
We've saved our existence
Since centuries we fought evils
When there was nothing but we built great wall
Listen, u evil we can fight COVID-19
Our Victory is evident.
