Polish teacher has a Chinese heart

Żywczok also has a Chinese stomach. He loves the spicy local food, including hotpot.

"Now I put chili pepper into everything I cook, even in scrambled eggs," he said.

In May, Sichuan International Studies University established the Chongqing College of Multi-languages, including Hebrew, Hungarian, Danish, Polish, Hindi and Burmese.

"I believe a good China-Poland relationship can benefit Poland a lot," Żywczok said.

"The Polish language is difficult to learn but there will be a lot of job opportunities if Chinese students can speak good Polish."
