Which city is the farthest from China on Earth? I've never thought about this question until this trip to the Antarctic, where I found that Punta Arenas in Chile is the farthest city from China in the world. Punta Arenas is the southernmost city of Chile and the South American continent, and also the nearest city to the Antarctic. Almost all individuals flying to the Antarctic set off from this city. This city is not big, with a population of less than 100,000. There is only one Chinese restaurant - the Rainbow Restaurant. Due to the malfunction of the Chilean Air Force plane we were supposed to take, our group had to wait for three days in this small city. We who are used to eating Chinese food had no choice but to dine at the Rainbow Restaurant these few days. When we came here for dinner the second time, we surprisingly found that a young Chinese man working in this Chinese restaurant was talking to his family with Heyo and QQ on his laptop. Since he was busy, I just greeted him briefly. Yesterday (February 21), we got the confirmed news that the plane would be ready to take us away from Punta Arenas to fly to the Antarctic on the next day, February 22. Thus, we decided to specially visit the QQ user at the Rainbow Restaurant in this farthest city from China before leaving Punta Arenas. When I walked into the Rainbow Restaurant with a camera and a camcorder at more than 10 p.m., this QQ user was in front of the computer. After I explained my purpose, he was very happy and immediately introduced a colleague beside him, saying that he was also a QQ user. It turned out that this young man was the boss of this restaurant, 27 years old, from Meizhou, Guangdong Province, named Lan Zhipeng, QQ: 814443094, and has been using QQ for four or five years! The colleague beside him was the chef he hired, born in 1969, named Chen Ajie, from Fujian Province, QQ: 898803530. They were originally in Argentina and just came to this Punta Arenas to open this Chinese restaurant not long ago. But their families are still in Argentina, so they contact their relatives in Argentina every day through QQ. Ajie also took out his own computer and went online with his wife in Argentina, and introduced her to me. His family was very happy and surprised. I let them try video chatting, and the result was pretty good. Ajie also specially asked his wife to video call his two 18-year-old boys. I asked them for their opinions and suggestions on QQ, and they both like it very much, use it every day, especially like the voice call and file transfer functions. Xiaolan also introduced that there were only five Chinese residents in Punta Arenas in total, four in their Chinese restaurant, two of whom use QQ; there is also a Chinese teacher, who probably uses QQ every day as well. When I left, it was almost midnight, and they were about to close and rest. Thinking of meeting enthusiastic QQ users in this farthest city from China, I was very surprised and delighted.
