China Stories

Onto pastures new.

As we all know roughly how the myChina section will look, I'm going to have a look at the China Snapshots section.

China Snapshots a gallery section which will have loads of photos that Gerald and the guys took whilst in China. It's going to be using a system we've developed in-house, so this will make things easier for me visually as there are already templates which i can re-use. It should be similar to the BBC Alba galleries.

你好 (Hello).

I've started sending out emails to possible contributors in China now. I'll write different sets of questions for different people, depending on their circumstances. Here's the introduction to my email and some questions examples along with the Mandarin translation:

Hello,

你好,

My name is Flora and I work for BBC Scotland in the Learning department. I'm working on a website about modern China called China Stories and I'm collecting some comments from people living in China to put on the website.

我是弗洛拉，目前在为BBC苏格兰教育部工作。我正在构建一个反映现代中国的网站，名为“中国故事”。与此同时，我也在收集一些在中国居住的人们的看法和建议，以便将其内容用在该网站中.

I would be really grateful if you could answer the questions below for me and also send me a photograph of yourself. I would also be grateful if you could sign the release form I have attached and email it back to me.

如果您能够回答以下的问题，并且提供您的照片，我将十分感激。同时，请在我附加的发布许可单上签名，并以邮件的形式回复我.

Thank you!

谢谢!

Flora.
