China is a country that is both familiar and unfamiliar to me.
I grew up in an African family with open thoughts.
I come from Kyrgyzstan, a country on the ancient Silk Road.
I still remember that day in August 2017, when I arrived by the long-distance bus from Hanoi, Vietnam to Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
I am He Song from Laos and I have been studied in China for two years.
I still remember the first time when I saw Chinese characters.
The deepening and expanding of the educational cooperation and exchanges have been paid special attention by the two countries during the collaborative work in BRI.
Before I came to study in China, I had a certain knowledge of Chinese culture.
A fantastic dream of mine about Qinqiang Opera took root, sprouted and grew in the ancient city of Xi’an, Shaanxi Province.
Though I had never been to China before, there was a deep feeling in my heart when I was a child: Thailand is my motherland, and China is the second hometown for me and for my family as well.
