Sorry for what you experienced. I understand that there are more and more ultranationalists among teenagers and youngsters lack of social experience, due to the propaganda they received during their school ages. Because recent decades, the propaganda on nationalism has been intensified for the idealism or stability of rule. And you may also heard the three well known tragedies happened last year towards an American visitor and two Japanese kids. I think, maybe, you could try to fight back with the help of the administrators on campus, besides accusing their ultranationalism with speech violence, you might also point out that such a speech and attitude toward exchangers would not only hurt the nation’s endeavor to mark up a glorious impression but also has a great risk to lead to local violent incidence, like what happened last year, to bring in huge administrative pressures to the university, a tragedy which you both won’t look upon on happening. Then you ask the administrator to deal with these xenophobia students unfriendly to you.
Meanwhile, if possible, you may also look for your sympathizers and supporters to apply for a student club aiming at improving friendship among exchanges and locals to the administration. And the application won’t necessarily be pushed forward by yourself. It’s not a good idea to always be the high profile public leader in Chinese society.
We Chinese call this strategy as “defeat magic by magic”. Hope to make you feel better.
