Sirerol, who was born in 1995, is studying Chinese at Beijing Normal University for one year under Spain's national scholarship. Prior to this, he was studying at Spain's Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

"I came to China because I wanted to see China with my own eyes, and to understand China," the East Asian studies major added.

He started posting videos on his experiences on learning Chinese in July 2018, and later on living and studying in China.

"Some foreign netizens are biased, and Chinese netizens tell me it is hard to change. But to me, we still need to face the challenge. Day after day, there will be changes! I hope my videos can show how beautiful China is, and how kind the Chinese are," Sirerol commented.

"I actually am very lucky and proud, lucky that I have learned this language, and proud that I am studying in this country."
