Many girls in college, far from home, parents will be particularly worried about her daughter's safety problem, usually evening make a phone call, told her daughter not to go out at night, really have something to go out, be sure to find a partner. Yes, most of the girls, and even strong alert psychological, danger, also do not have enough power to protect themselves, such unfortunate things, every day there are news reports. So, when I met Daclata, I was a little excited, because it was the first African girl I had ever seen.
Daclata is from Burundi, 22, studying economics at the university of international business and economics. Her Chinese name is gao anya. Burundi is on the east side of Africa, next to Rwanda and Tanzania.
Sensible and generous girl.
After being familiar with anya, I can't wait to throw out my question, you come to China to go to university alone, not afraid? Parents must be worried. Anya told me, yes, so she want to video with my parents every week, and they talk about some of your recent things, happy things can share with my parents, your troubles and confused, and sometimes parents said. She told me, because if you're afraid of them and don't tell them about their troubles, mom and dad will think about it and worry about it. Therefore, she is also very active in her circle of friends, and often shares her life state to reassure her parents. Anja is a very sensible person out there.
Anya is very cheerful and likes to make friends with everyone. When we went out to play, someone asked her in front of her, are you a boy? Anja smiled and replied, "no, I'm a girl. I'm not angry at all. Instead, I'm asking her about the person. I'm a little embarrassed and I apologize to her."
The thing about African girls.
Started talking to her, I still pretend to talk about some of the big topic, after that, we will involuntarily said to the girl's favorite clothes and skin care products, she told me that in her hometown, there is no HM, fast retailing brands such as ZARA, people don't buy a new, can only go to the flea market, instead, where there will be some second-hand novel styles, bright color clothes, so came to China, she was particularly happy, no worn before she can wear some beautiful clothes. It is true that HM and ZARA have a lot of hot African clothes, and only an enthusiastic girl like anya can hold it.
For, and can see all sorts of fashion magazines, anya and I said, in her hometown, the girls of the prequel to see, is more than a year ago is out of vogue and ELLE, in China, can see the monthly magazine, good happy ah, although she feels Chinese female star is a so long, don't know much about it.
I look at anya's skin, completely invisible pores, very delicate, shining with a healthy glow. Shook her arm I ask her, what brand do you use to protect skin to taste ah, good ah, smooth skin spots, blain blain more to see, as a result, anya told me that she is brought from home with shea butter and baobab oil (that is, the Po before we had an article in the original these big can't live away from Africa! "), because of China's skin care products are too many kinds, and, well, so she brought over from Africa, it is good to put some washing a face at ordinary times, no our toner, cream and so on.
Well, well, that's the mystery of the skin. One or two bottles of essential oil can be solved. Are we complicated, or is it the African girl, the gene is better?
I have seen the most willing to know the Chinese social culture.
Burundi is French colonies before, so, anya's native language is French, English and Chinese are her self-study, she told me, don't know why, she love to make friends with Chinese people, is very interested in Chinese society and culture, this is at home. So, after coming to China, she can seize any opportunity to get to know deeply contact with Chinese people, very fortunately, everyone is very good to him, all very willing to help her, to say what unhappy things, only one.
Once, she saw a part-time information on website for international students, said at a conference held in hangzhou what china-africa, need two African girl can dance, accommodation all bag, travel bag, all a day, four hundred, a total of 3 days, then anya and her classmates went. When she said it, she paused, and then I imagined the situation, the two girls were deceived, and then all kinds of clever help, and finally out of danger and so on.
And then, I'm a little nervous to greet ya, and then, then anya said, because the release information, before you learn elder sister know, so readily available, are going well all the way, is the last night in the hotel, they after work, return to room, found the bag was stolen, there are 300 yuan in cash. But anya laughed and said, "it's ok. I've not only made $900, but I've made a free trip." Well, if it were any Chinese girl, it wouldn't be that far; As an African girl who wants to understand Chinese culture and integrate into local life, anja is really struggling.

Of course, knowing China, part time and internship is a necessary step, anya taught children English during the winter vacation last year; During the summer vacation, I worked as an intern in the sida period for two months, doing marketing work. I'm really admire her, because, sida is in the southeast and anya school in along side, which means anya work every day on the road for almost four hours time, dear. Everybody knows, every day on the road, in fact is the most tired, anya so to return two months, too much perseverance.
In fact, many students in Africa are very good at language and hardworking. The point is that they live very seriously and responsibly. Anya said, if we can find a job, a waitress, conductors, she is very happy, because it is a kind of ability to exercise, however, many places do not recruit students of Africa, it makes her feel some frustration.
很多女孩远离家乡上大学的时候，父母会特别担心女儿的安全问题，经常晚上打电话，叮嘱女儿不要在晚上外出，实在有事要出去的时候，一定要找个同伴一起。的确是这样，大部分女孩子即使有较强的警惕心理，遇到危险的事情，也没有足够的力量保护自己，类似不幸的事情，每天都有新闻报道。所以，当我遇见Daclata的时候，我有点小激动，因为这是我见到的第一个远道而来的非洲女孩。
Daclata来自布隆迪，22岁，在对外经贸大学学习经济学，她的中文名字是高安雅。布隆迪是位于非洲的东边，在卢旺达和坦桑的旁边。
懂事又大方的姑娘
和安雅熟悉了之后，我就迫不及待的抛出了我的疑问，你一个人来到中国上大学，不害怕吗？父母一定很担心吧。安雅告诉我，是的，所以她每周都要和爸妈视频，和他们聊自己近来的一些事，开心的事会和爸妈分享，自己的烦恼和困惑，也会和爸妈说。她告诉我，因为你如果怕他们担心，不告诉他们自己的烦心事，爸妈自己就会东想西想，各种担心。所以，她在朋友圈也很活跃，经常分享自己的生活状态，让爸妈放心。安雅一个人在外，真的是很懂事。
安雅特别开朗，喜欢和大家交朋友，心态很好。我们出去玩的时候，有人当着她的面问她，你是男孩吗？安雅笑嘻嘻的回答说，不，我是女孩，完全木有生气，反倒是问她的那个人，有点不好意思，向她道歉。
关于非洲女孩的那点事儿
最开始和她聊天的时候，我还装模作样地谈一些大的话题，之后，我们就不由自主的说到了女孩最爱的衣服和护肤品上，她告诉我，在她的家乡，根本没有HM，ZARA等快销品牌，大家根本买不到新的，只能去旧货市场淘，反而在那里，会有一些二手的款式新颖，颜色亮丽的衣服，所以来到中国，她特别开心，她能穿一些之前完全没有穿过的漂亮衣服。的确，HM和ZARA有很多hot的非洲风格的衣服，只有像安雅这样热情的姑娘才能hold住。
对，还有各种时尚杂志可以看，安雅和我说，在她的家乡，姑娘们之前传着看的，都是一年多前出的《vogue》和《ELLE》了，而在中国，能看到当月的杂志，好开心呀，虽然她感觉中国的女明星长得都是一个样子，分不太清楚。
我细细看安雅的皮肤，完全看不见毛孔，非常细腻，闪着健康的光泽。我摇着她的手臂问她，你用的什么牌子的护肤品呀，皮肤好光滑呀了，色斑也没有，痘痘更看不到，结果，安雅告诉我，她用的就是从家里带来的乳木果油和猴面包树油（就是我们之前po过的一篇文章《原来这些大牌离了非洲都活不成啦》），因为中国的护肤品种类太多了，而且好贵呀，所以她就用从非洲带过来的，平时洗完脸抹点就好，完全没有我们的爽肤水，面霜之类的。
额，好吧，原来，这才是皮肤好的奥秘呀，一两瓶精油就可以解决的事，我们搞的好复杂呀，还是说，非洲的姑娘，基因比较好？
我见过的最愿意深入了解中国社会文化的姑娘
布隆迪之前是法属殖民地，所以，安雅的母语是法语，英语和中文都是她自学的，她告诉我，不知道为什么，她特别喜欢和中国人交朋友，对中国的社会和文化很感兴趣，在家乡的时候就是这样。所以，来中国后，她抓住任何一个能了解深入接触中国人的机会，非常幸运的是，每个人都对他很好，都很愿意帮助她，要说有什么不开心的事，只有一件。
有一次，她在留学生的网站上看到一条兼职信息，说在杭州举行中非什么大会，需要两个会跳舞的非洲姑娘，食宿全包，路费全包，一天四百，共3天，然后安雅和她同学就去了。她说到这里的时候，停顿了一下，然后我脑补出种种情况，两个姑娘被骗，然后各种机智求救，最后终于脱险等等。
然后，我有点紧张地问安雅，然后呢，然后安雅说，因为发布信息的人，之前的学姐认识，所以很靠谱，一路上都很顺利，就是在住宾馆的最后一晚，她们工作结束后，回到房间，发现包被偷了，里面有300元现金。但是安雅笑嘻嘻地和我说，没事呀，我不仅赚了900块，而且还免费旅游了一次呢。额，要是换成随便一个中国女孩，肯定不会跑那么远的；安雅作为一个想要了解中国文化，融入当地生活的非洲姑娘，真的很拼呢。
当然，了解中国，兼职和实习是必经的一步，安雅去年寒假的时候，教过小孩子英语；暑假的时候，在四达时代实习了两个月，做的是市场营销方面的工作。我真的是好佩服她呀，因为，四达是在亦庄，而安雅的学校在东三环那边，这也就意味着安雅每天上班在路上的时间就差不多四个小时，天哪。大家都知道，每天在路上的时候，其实是最累的，安雅这样往返了两个月，太有毅力了。
其实很多非洲留学生，语言很好，又很勤奋，重点是，他们特别认真而又负责地生活着。安雅说，如果能找到一份工作，做服务员，售票员，她都很开心，因为这是一种能力的锻炼，但是，很多地方都不招非洲的学生，这让她感觉到有些挫败。
安雅希望，能在暑假的时候，在北京找到一份实习，她的专业是经济学哟，英文，法文和中文都非常好，这样一位热情开朗，肯努力，肯坚持的非洲好姑娘，你喜欢吗？
