Educated abroad, but coming home

Some Chinese who were educated abroad are coming home to try to better the country's villages and cities.

Liu Jie, who holds a master's degree in environmental protection from a Canadian university, is one of the first three overseas Chinese returnees to sign up for the latest recruitment exam of village officials in Zhongshan city, Guangdong province.

Only those who have a residency permit in the city can take the exam.
