At present, learning Chinese ancient poetry is a part of his daily life. In the future, he hopes to become a more advanced "China Master" after mastering it.

　　Good rain knows the season, when spring is here.

Sneaked into the night wind, moisten things silently.

The wild trails and clouds are all black, and the rivers and ships are only bright.

Xiao sees the red and wet places, and spends heavy brocade on the official city.

　　[Explanation] Talking about the first contact with ancient Chinese poetry, Lao Nei told reporters that when he was traveling in Singapore at the age of 25, he heard some poems by Li Bai and Du Fu, and since then opened his indissoluble bond with China.

　　I seem to have heard Li Bai and Du Fu long ago when I was abroad. These two poets must be very difficult to understand, because just like the Chinese understand Shakespeare, I must understand the language very deeply in order to understand, so I felt at the time It is a very distant thing, and it is difficult to be very high-end and high-end.

　　[Commentary] Lao Nei introduced that when he chose to study abroad, he resolutely chose China.

　　[Concurrent] Lao Nei

　　For me, Chinese is the most logical language from English. I prefer that kind of challenge, so I don't choose simple ones.

I want to learn Chinese. I think this language belongs to the most populous country in the world, so there will definitely be some employment or business opportunities in the future.

　　[Explanation] After coming to China, Lao Nei accidentally got a cameo opportunity in a movie and ignited his "actor dream". So far, he has participated in more than 70 film and television works.

　　I found that being an actor in China also requires speaking Chinese lines, so very few people can speak fluent Chinese and still act like it, which is very difficult.

In particular, I found that many Chinese TV dramas like to put some superficial things into it. I think it is too difficult. I have gradually improved my level through (learning).

　　[Explanation] During the interview, Lao Nei told the reporter that in fact, Lao Nei was his nickname, and his big name was Qian Kun, which followed his wife's surname.

In 2016, he came to Zhengzhou to marry and settle down for love.

Lao Nei, who loves traditional Chinese culture, wrote a Spring Festival couplet in English to imply a beautiful family during the Spring Festival this year, and hung it on his doorstep.

　　It is (meaning) wealth, health, wealth, family, happiness, etc.

　　[Explanation] At present, in addition to acting, Lao Nei is also teaching foreign languages ​​in a university in Henan.

In addition to teaching, learning traditional Chinese poetry has also become a part of his life.

　　[Concurrent] Lao Nei

　　Li Bai and Du Fu are often collectively called "Big Li Du". Who is "Little Li Du"?

It was Li Shangyin and Du Mu.

The language used by Li Bai and Du Fu is very compact, which can inspire me to challenge the language.

Because I know that if I can memorize and understand all of Tu Fu's poems, I must be a "China Master" who has reached the highest level.
