My name is Guo Hu. I’m 48 years old.

What do you do for a living?

I’m a technician. My salary is around 3,000 rmb.

Germany would be my first choice because I would like to visit the parent company of my employer, Menicase.

But compared to China it would probably be way too expensive for me.

I like fish and duck most; Nanjing duck, not Peking duck,

How do you spend your leisure time?

I enjoy fishing, jogging, and playing games.

What do you expect for your future?
