Scholarships boost China-ASEAN relations

Students from member countries learn lessons in friendship at colleges in the southwest. Mo Jingxi reports.

When he applied for scholarships for overseas study as a 19-year-old high school graduate in Cambodia with an interest in computers, Heng Piseth never thought he would one day study in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

"Computers were still a luxury in Cambodia in 2010, so I was eager for a chance to study the major abroad, but my family could not afford it," he said.
