Foreign students become immersed in Chinese culture

Since she was a child, Amelie Degrande, a 19-year-old from a small town in Belgium, has wanted to learn kung fu in China.

She is now fulfilling that dream at Yunnan University.

Degrande is one of 357 students at the university's School of Overseas Students, which is supported by the Office of Chinese Language Council International - known colloquially as Hanban - that oversees the Confucius Institute.
