Company orchestrates singer's dream

After receiving professional training at the suggestion of an arts overseas study consulting agency, Jin Sihan has every reason to feel confident his applications to arts schools in the United States will succeed.

The 20-year-old from Dalian, Liaoning province, started learning bel canto singing at high school, and he hopes to study in the US as an undergraduate student majoring in vocal music.

The wish seemed far beyond the reach of Jin, but everything changed in August 2014, when he turned to a consulting agency in Beijing. The agency helps Chinese students who apply to study at arts academies overseas.
