Meet Celia Annetta, an Indonesian psychology student at Beijing’s Tsinghua University, whose journey from summer school attendee to full-time resident reveals a unique perspective on China’s work culture. 🌟
After a life-changing 2014 summer program, Celia swapped Jakarta’s tropical vibes for Beijing’s bustling streets. What started as a high school adventure turned into a deep dive into China’s values of diligence and precision. 🏮✨ 'The work ethic here is next-level,' she says, comparing it to Indonesia’s more relaxed vibe. 'It’s taught me to balance speed with seriousness—like a TikTok trend meets ancient philosophy!'
Now calling Beijing her 'second home,' Celia is eyeing her next challenge: decoding China’s thriving trade and business scene. 💼 'There’s so much to learn from how China connects globally while staying rooted in tradition,' she adds. Her story isn’t just about textbooks—it’s a Gen-Z guide to thriving in cross-cultural hustle.
