The little brother Chinese Thief 6, not only gave everyone a cross-ocean new year's greeting, but also expressed his sincere thoughts about China.

Eh? Dude looked very good-looking, as if he had seen it somewhere...

Compare last year's video – solved.

It turned out that this Wu Indifferent was Dylan Austin Walker, a contestant in the international student group of our second "Telling Chinese Stories in English" event.

A moment of serendipity

Dylan was born and raised in Massachusetts and has no Chinese ancestry; he didn't live in China for long until he went to college. The reason why his Chinese is correct and rounded is inseparable from his excellent "Tong Zi Gong" and his love for Chinese culture.

At the age of 5, Dylan became friends with the children of his Chinese neighbors. At that time, he had a strong interest in various "mysterious foreign countries" such as ancient Egypt and China. The friend's mother stumbled upon his curiosity about Chinese and began to teach him simple Chinese words.

Since then, Dylan has formed an indissoluble relationship with Chinese, from the United States to China, from the "small stove" of the neighboring aunt to the university in Beijing, China.

As he learned, Dylan's passion for Chinese cultural affairs also grew with his Chinese level. In the four years from 2012 to 2016, he came to China three times to immerse himself in the home country of the Chinese language and have a deep cultural experience.

Three trips to China have "planted grass" in Dylan's heart, and he is more eager to study in China, and at the same time has a thorough thinking about one thing:

If you want to understand China and understand the society and people of this country, you can only come to China to live and study in depth.

As a result, Beijing Language and Culture University became Dylan's first stop to study in China; the classmates, relatives, friends and teachers around him also affectionately called his Chinese name - Indifferent.

A red heart

Shortly before coming to China, He calmly made a major decision -- to join the Communist Party of the United States.

What we see often pinned to his chest is actually the emblem of the Communist Party of america.

This is by no means a hasty move he made in order to be different and "shoot his head". As early as high school, he had a great interest in Mao Zedong's ideas and began to teach himself, and when he came to China in 2012 to attend a summer camp, he also bought an English version of "Chairman Mao" quotations.

If I hadn't learned the Quotations, I wouldn't have joined the USA Communist Party. So Chairman Mao and the Communist Party of China have a special place in my heart.

If I hadn't studied it (Chairman Mao's quote), I wouldn't have joined our Communist Party. So Chairman Mao and the Chinese Communist Party have a particularly important place in my heart.

However, the act of joining the party was not understood by the family at the time. In an interview with a media, although the Communist Party of the United States has a history of more than a hundred years, many people do not know its existence, and those who know it will also have certain prejudices about it due to social and historical factors.

Therefore, compared with other political parties, the US Communist Party has always been a relatively lonely existence.

According to the indifferent words, when he came to China, stood in the Great Hall of the People, and thought of the place where the beloved Chairman Mao Zedong had come, a sense of history and intimacy in his heart suddenly emerged.

This American guy with lofty beliefs found his "organization" in China.

A heart of emotion

At the turn of spring and summer last year, this "foreign comrade" who loves Chinese culture signed up to participate in the second "Telling Chinese Stories in English" activity, starting his "China Story Journey".

Compared with previous editions, last year's event added a "international student group", which provided an opportunity for students from more than 100 countries, including Indifference, to show themselves.

For the final ranking of the event, the indifferent attitude is as its name suggests.

He feels that "sharing" is one of the pleasures of human beings, and the "Telling Chinese Stories in English" campaign is a great platform for him to share the excitement of Chinese culture and his love for Chinese culture with the whole of China and the whole world.

In the end, with his fluency in Chinese, clear expression, and deep understanding of Chinese culture, he stood out and successfully broke through the national final selection. In the Chinese talent show, the program he brought to the judges and the audience was to sing the song "My Dream, Chinese Dream".

For the indifferent, the significance of this song is far more than a display work, it not only reflects its own Chinese feelings, but also contains the infinite vision of realizing the "Chinese Dream". It can be said that this is a portrayal of his spiritual world.

This American guy who is obsessed with Chinese stories has become an unusual Chinese story in his own experience. We believe that with the enthusiastic participation of more foreign youth like Indifferent, the time for breaking the ice of Sino-foreign exchanges is coming.
