Taranenko from Russia: I came to Nanjing for study four years ago. Over the years, I have been particularly interested in Chinese culture and history. My hobby is calligraphy. In my opinion, every foreigner should understand the logic of Chinese people, their traditional ideas and customs when he comes to China. Ihad the honor to participate in Show Jiangsu Photography Project Exhibition today. I have learned a lot, enriched my life and understood more about Chinese culture.

I saw the way the experts take picture showing other people and the world how beautiful Nanjing China is. These pictures describe the culture, the history and the friendly people of Nanjing. I am grateful for inviting us to this beautiful and important exhibition.
