What I feel after reading the "Two Years in the Melting Pot"

After reading the “Two Years in the Melting Pot”, written by Leki, I feel so agreed with him. It is hard to study in a foreign country since everything seems new and strange to us. Among international students, loneliness is one of biggest problems. That is because that we have no friends in a new place and we speak different languages. Therefore, to see or hear mother tongue in a foreign country would be one of the nicest things in the world.
Since Liu feels really lonely and his need to be with other Chinese seems to be natural, and also, it is a common problem that many of us encountered before. Even if some Chinese who Liu didn’t know before, he would like to talk to them, and stay with them. That is because no matter how well his English is, he can’t speak up what he thinks in his deep heart since he is from a different country, with a different cultural background. On the other hand, I have the same need as Liu’s and I also spend my leisure time with my Chinese friends because I will feel easy, natural, and happy staying with them. Therefore, I think Liu’s need is very normal and common among international students.
