" BEIJING Kam Chancellor Womens Jersey , Aug.10 (Xinhuanet) -- “China is different from what I have imagined and seen before I came here. After five months of first-hand experience in China, I become more interested in Chinese language and culture,” said Sangeet Sangroula, correspondent of Republica Daily of Nepal.
Sangroula, with five years of journalism experience, came to China to attend the 10-month long program until December 2017.
“I read a lot about China, but never had a clear understanding though. A sense of curiosity to know how China is able to develop so rapidly and peacefully, and also Chinese culture, society and people was always there with me,” said Sangroula, when talking about why he joined the program.
However, Khonesavanh Latsaphao, deputy director of Vientiane Times Newspaper in Laos, attended the program with a clear personal plan -- to become a newsman with global perspective.
“I worked at Vientiane Times Newspaper for almost 20 years. This visit gives me a chance to know more about China and I will share my experiences with our people. Laos is a small country, I really have a lot to learn here,” he said.
Knowing little about Chinese language except for greetings like “Ni Hao” (How are you), both Sangroula and Latsaphao had the same difficult days at the first.
“I went to buy milk but ended up buying yogurt when I just arrived in China,” recalled Sangroula with big smile.
