Afghan student learns how to conquer the future

Shadab Abdul Samir has a goal and a vision that he articulates in fluent Chinese. He will return to Afghanistan after finishing his studies in China, because his country and family need him.

The 23-year-old student from Afghanistan has studied to become a teacher of Chinese at Taiyuan University of Technology in Shanxi province, for more than four years.

"Although I love it here in Taiyuan, I am eager to go back home and make a contribution to my country's construction and development," he says.
