As I swerved up the pavement, turning right onto another path, the Forbidden City was just meters away. Covering half of the starry sky, the defensive walls stood flawless and mighty, hiding everything within. Dim streetlights cast shadows on the closely jointed grey bricks. Biking along the walls made me wonder what’s behind them. Perhaps the ancient architects planned this: the walls they designed are studded with guard turrets. These...Read more...Personal Statement639 WordsChinese heritage, Embracing your heritage, Interest in other academic subject, International background, Place you’re contentAnother school day ended with a bike ride home.
