The Little One
Chinese culture concerns more about the organization’s interests rather than personal interests. I born in this culture and affected by it. Many people, western people especially, might hold a resistant attitude towards this group-first culture because we are living for ourselves, not others.

I needed to take pictures when my team member did the interview. He was too shy to go ahead and have a talk with chief because this was his first time to interview the leadership. He was nervous and I understood it because I used to have the same feeling when I firstly worked for News Center. But for now, I had to push him to do it because it won’t be easy to do the interview if the crowd became too big. I took his voice recorder and did the interview by myself after I realized that pushing did not work. When the celebration was over, he …show more content…
News Center told me my strengths that I could adjust myself for the team. News Center gave me the chance to feel the sense of achievement as a reporter, and been motivated by this achievement.
