Etuate loves China

-

AS comprehens­ive strategic partners, China and Fiji have fostered enduring people-to-people exchanges in various areas including education. Around 300 Fijian students have studied in China under the Chinese Government Scholarshi­p scheme since 1996 and many of them are working in different industries to serve Fiji now.

Since Chinese New Year draws near, many Fijian students will enjoy their first Spring Festival vacation in China.

Let’s have a look at their happy scenes and their best wishes to family and friends in Fiji.

- Now learning Chinese language in Northeast Normal University, and will study Computer Science and Technology in Beijing Institute of Technology this September.

“A Happy New Year to my family and Friends in Fiji! I take this time to thank everyone for being there for me while applying for this Chinese Government scholarshi­p.

Moreover, I also thank CSC for giving me a chance to fulfil my dreams by studying here in China. I love the people, their culture, now I am studying Chinese language. It was a bit tough when we started but now it’s good and I love it.”

“Being in a new country with a different lifestyle and people has taught me a lot too. Chinese people are so hardworkin­g and very smart, that’s what I love the most about them. Being in China everything is so accessible, buying stuff or ordering a ride, you just use your phone, you don’t have to carry cash everywhere. In addition to that, the level of security in China is so high and everyone is very protected from illegal activities.”

“I love my school, my teachers and my classmates. “I made new friends from different countries. “I love my room and all the sponsorshi­p that the embassies from both sides and CSC are giving me.

“I love this experience so much.

“Thank You So Much!”.
