Editor's Note:The year of 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Over the past 7 decades, plenty of foreigners have come to China and visited Hainan. Working and settling down in this ancient but more and more open country, they have fallen in love with China.
Fall in Love with China in Hainan, a Chinese-English bilingual video program specially planned by Hainan International Media Center and Hinews International Media Center, will tell the stories of four foreign friends working and living in Hainan. Through their stories with Hainan, the achievements Hainan has made in terms of culture, economy, science and technology, people’s livelihood, education and business environment are well reflected, presenting Hainan’s wisdom and inclusiveness in the construction of Pilot Free Trade Zone and the Free Trade Port with Chinese characteristics.
In the past 7 decades, a beautiful, harmonious and opening China, along with a brand new and promising Hainan, is embracing all the friends around the world.
On July 31, 2019, Eddie Mills, a foreign teacher from the United States, was appointed as the first Overseas Communications Officer of Hainan International Media Center, helping to tell the stories of Hainan to the world.
Eddie Mills told reporters that he has been living and working in Hainan for 26 years. With his recommendation, nearly 100 foreign experts have come to Hainan to promote local English language education, especially improving the education in the minority areas. He is very proud of what he has done to boost the development of English education in Hainan.
