Ni hao (你好) HMSDC,
I hope everyone is ready to have a productive day and is looking forward to the weekend.
Until then, time for a history lesson!
Did you know China’s is one of the world’s oldest civilizations with nearly 4,000 years of history? The first written history of our country was found in ancient historical texts circa 1700 BC! In the past, China was ruled by dynasties, which are rulers from the same imperial family, until 1911. Many of the dynasties are known for different things such as the invention of gunpowder during the Song Dynasty, paper from the Han Dynasty and bronze-ware making in the Zhou Dynasty. That’s right, I said the Zhou dynasty! Your very own HMSDC intern may be a long lost princess descending from one of China’s longest lasting ancient dynasty.
China is now ruled by the Communist Party and our current president is Hu Jintao.
