Lee Gwangsi, Korean Teacher at Hunan Institute of Science and Technology

Lee Gwangsi is a South Korean foreign teacher at Hunan Institute of Technology. He is fluent in Chinese after living in Yueyang for 19 years. When talking about the changes in Yueyang, Lee Gwangsi felt that the changes were too fast. “When I first came to Hunan Institute of Science and Technology, there were only two houses in Qijialing. There were dirt roads everywhere, and it didn’t look like a university at all.” Li Guangshi said, there were only a few streetlights at that time, and at night the whole campus is almost dark.

From 38 to 57 years old, for 19 years, Lee was in China with his wife and daughter. My daughter attended elementary school, middle school, and high school in Yueyang, and now graduated from Peking University.

As one of the foreign experts this year, Lee, together with two other foreign experts in the college, was invited to attend the military parade on the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China in Tiananmen Square this year.

“I am especially grateful for being able to invite a Korean to participate in the military parade. I will never forget this experience.” Li Guangshi said that he wants to stay in China after he retires and his daughter has grown up. I hope she can find a Chinese boyfriend, get married and have children.
