Teacher Liu, last night I went back to the dorm from the library. It was already past ten, but there were still students, shop assistants, and people taking walks on the road.

Were you scared at the time?

A little at first. But the road was bright, and someone was on duty at the school gate, so I slowly felt at ease.

This is what many foreigners call a “China-style sense of safety.” It isn’t just a slogan; it’s something that really makes you feel secure in daily life.

So a sense of safety isn’t only about having no danger, but also about city management and school services?

Yes. Another reason is that people are willing to follow rules. Chinese people often say “harmony is precious,” meaning it’s important to get along well.

I understand now. That road last night made me feel that Beijing is not only big, but also very orderly.

Good. You can write it this way: sometimes, a sense of safety is simply not feeling anxious when going home at night.
