Before their departure, the Global Times sat down with Seckova at the Czech Ambassador's residence to talk about their time in China and what lies ahead.
Seckova could not speak any Chinese at all before coming to China, but now she speaks fluent Chinese.
"Actually I studied Chinese with my daughter together from scratch Air Presto ," she said, adding that she will work to keep up her daughter's Chinese studies even after they leave.
As Seckova reminisced on the past six years, her memories drew her back to the first day that they arrived in China.
"I remember I was so astonished by modern China, which is filled with skyscrapers and modern sights. I loved it from the beginning," said Seckova.
They also immediately fell in love with their new residence inside the embassy and soon went to buy furniture for their place. They've turned the residence into a veritable art exhibition, featuring hundreds of paintings and porcelain artifacts, forging a visual cultural connection between China and the Czech Republic.

"In summer, they bike, and in winter Nike Presto Sale , they ski," she said.
A simple walk in Ritan Park near the embassy added flavor to her life. "It makes you happy just looking at the people dancing," said Seckova, who was impressed by the way Chinese people expressed themselves so fearlessly by dancing and singing in public.

One of the pop songs popular for park dancing "Xiao Pingguo," or "The Little Apple Nike Presto Off White ," by the Chopstick Brothers, is a favorite of her and her daughter.
Heading to the family's next destination, Seckova said she has one big regret left from her time in China: she never got to meet Ge You, a famous Chinese actor.
"I love the Chinese movie If You Are the One and I was hoping to meet him one day, but after six years it never happened," she said, giggling.
