BEIJING, Oct.19 (Xinhuanet) -- With China and the UK planning for a "golden era" in bilateral relations. Let's take a look at how Chinese feel about the UK, and how British living in China view the Asian nation.
Chinese students in Beijing said:"The fashion style. It's about Tartan, elegance. Ladies in their 90s can still look elegant and charming."
"In literature, one can not ignore Shakespeare. The public may not have read all his works, because sometimes his works are hard to understand. But everyone knows his name."
"I particularly like the UK star Colin Firth. He was the leading actor in BBC's "Pride and Prejudice" in 1996. I've watched it more than 10 times."
UK teachers in Beijing said: "I might end up completely fall in love with China and staying."
Restaurant owner from UK said:"When I first came to Beijing to learn Mandarin in 1997, I told British people that I was going to Beijing, or just came back from Beijing. They will ask, where? Then I said Beijing in China. Then they would ask, why did you go there. But now, everyone knows Beijing. Everyday there are things about China on the newspaper."
Business owner from UK said:"High-speed, that's what the UK needs. The trains in the UK are slow, and often late."
"The process for a Chinese citizen to obtain a UK visa is very complicated, so I hope it will be streamlined," said Chinese students. "I'd ask when the new season of "Sherlock" will be on?"
