中译英：Chinese literature is a field that I have been deeply interested in since I was young, and it carries the cultural traditions and wisdom of the Chinese nation.Studying Chinese literature gains me a deeper understanding of ancient and modern Chinese culture.I can also explore the thoughts and emotions behind literary works and reflect on human life. I believe that by studying Chinese literature, I can cultivate my aesthetic ability, literary literacy, and critical thinking, and contribute to the inheritance and development of Chinese culture. Chinese literature, as a treasure of the China, carries rich history, culture, and wisdom. Personally, applying for a programme about Chinese Literature is not only a pursuit of my own interests, but also a responsibility and mission for the inheritance and development of Chinese culture.

As far as I am concerned,Chinese literature is a discipline that studies ancient and modern Chinese literary works. By studying Chinese literature, I am able to gain a deeper understanding of classic works of ancient Chinese literature, such as Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey to the West, as well as representative works of modern literature such as the works written by Lu Xun and Mao Dun. I will study the creative background, artistic characteristics, and ideological connotations of literary works, and explore the profound significance of human nature, society, and history contained in the works. At the same time, I will also study literary theory and critical methods to improve my ability to analyze and evaluate literary works.

There are multiple reasons for me to apply for a postgraduate programme about Chinese Literature. The first one is that my family has had a positive impact on me. Born in an ordinary working family, I am encouraged to pursue my interests and dreams by my parents.They have provided me with rich literary books and artistic resources since I was young, cultivating my interest and love for literature. Their support and encouragement have strengthened my determination to apply for the Chinese Literature major.What’s more, my learning experience and understanding have also prompted me to choose Chinese literature as my major. In the process of learning, I found that by reading literary works, I can better understand human nature, society and history. The character images and plots in literary works make me ponder the meaning and value of life. I believe that through in-depth study of Chinese literature, I can further broaden my horizons, improve my humanistic literacy and critical thinking ability.

During my university,although I majored in Business Management, I attended a variety of courses conducted by department of Chinese. Mostly importantly,my independent learning skills was developed as well by exploring fields related to Chinese literature. Personally,these abilities are indispensable in my master's study because the master's degree will place great emphasis on research ability and autonomous learning ability. Only when the foundation is firmly established can one become more proficient in further study.

Except learning what we should, I also try to explore more in my spare time.In my spare time, I actively participated in activities related to the Chinese literature.For example, I have participated in many literature lectures and book clubs, discussing and sharing my understanding of literary works with other students who love literature. I also self-taught some ancient literary works, such as "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Journey to the West", and attempted to write some short stories and poems. These activities not only improved my literary appreciation and writing skills, but also enhanced my ability to communicate and cooperate with others.Additionally,I participated in volunteer activities  to provide assistance and services to community residents. During the process,I collaborated with other members to develop the theme, content, and process of the event, and was responsible for contacting the speaker and preparing the necessary materials for the event. What impressed me most was the experience of being a host,guiding and organizing the entire event.Personally,I benefited from these extracurricular activities. 

In the future, I hope to make achievements in the field of Chinese literature. In the short term, I plan to delve into the classic works of Chinese literature, strengthen my study of literary theory and criticism, and improve my research abilities. In the long run, I hope to become a professor or researcher dedicated to the research and inheritance of Chinese literature. I hope to contribute to the development and promotion of Chinese literature through my own efforts, so that more people can understand and appreciate the charm of Chinese literature.

I am heartedly grateful for what I have been able to learn through my undergraduate years, but I do not believe that should be the end of my education journey. Knowing that Master of Chinese Literature at Hong Kong Metropolitan University provides both basic and advanced courses , I sincerely hope to be allowed to study at your university, which will enable me to explore the latest developments in the theory, strategies and practice of relative fields. I understand that your university is strong in this area, so I believe that if I am lucky enough to be admitted, I will be able to learn more senior professional knowledge and have access to more quality resources. My commitment to excellence, passion, and background could qualify me as a member of this program and will contribute to your esteemed program. Sincerely hope that I can get this opportunity.
