The book ‘Far Away from Home’ tells about the daily life and feelings of my own experience of being a Chinese student living in the UK. When I returned to China during the summer vacation, Many of my friends back home ask me to tell them what life is like studying in the UK. This book is a way of expressing the joys and difficulties that I have experienced as a student living away from home. I hope that this book will attract more people to being an international student studying in the UK. The entire book consists of 16 pages of illustrations, each of which becomes part of the book. I like to draw a draft in the SAI software after drawing a draft on paper. Finally, coloring and detailing are done in the PS. I like my thoughts about everything life and activities such as shopping, traveling, studying and so on so that I can record the inspiration in my life.


Mae’r llyfr “Yn Bell o Gartref / Far Away from Home” yn sôn am fy mywyd bob dydd a’m profiadau o fod yn fyfyriwr Tsieineaidd sy’n byw yn y DU. Pan ddychwelais i Tsieina yn ystod gwyliau’r haf, roedd llawer o fy ffrindiau nôl gartref yn gofyn i fi ddweud wrthyn nhw pa fath o brofiad yw astudio yn y DU. Mae’r llyfr hwn yn ffordd o fynegi’r llawenydd a’r anawsterau rwyf wedi’u profi fel myfyriwr yn byw oddi cartref. Rwy’n gobeithio y bydd y llyfr hwn yn denu mwy o bobl i fod yn fyfyrwyr rhyngwladol yn astudio yn y DU. Mae’r llyfr cyfan yn cynnwys 16 tudalen o ddarluniadau a bydd pob un yn dod yn rhan o’m llyfr. Rwy’n hoffi tynnu drafft ym meddalwedd SAI ar ôl gwneud drafft ar bapur. Yn olaf, caiff lliwio a manylu eu gwneud yn y PS. Rwy’n hoff o fy meddyliau am bopeth mewn bywyd a gweithgareddau megis siopa, teithio, astudio ac ati, er mwyn i fi gofnodi’r ysbrydoliaeth yn fy mywyd.
