Many famous people have been there.

Shakespeare and Company is not only an exciting bookstore, but it also provides a place for English﹣speaking travelers to hold festivals of writing, reading, and art.

Meiyu, born in 1991, is from Turkey(土耳其). She is the youngest child of her family. After high school, many people learned English or Japanese, but Meiyu decided to learn Chinese in university. She learned Chinese for four years in Ankara University in Turkey, and got her name Meiyu there.

Meiyu fell in love with Chinese after going to university. She became more interested after she knew more about Chinese history. In the beginning many people did not understand her decision. But they all said Meiyu had made a right choice when she graduated from university in 2013. Since then, more Chinese have been visiting Turkey.

Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan﹣style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you're not in China ﹣ you're in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going all over the world.
