Undergraduate takes time to settle but rises to new challenges

For 21-year-old Liu Zilei, studying in London has not only opened her eyes to the world but helped her to appreciate her culture.

"I really enjoy conversations with classmates from different countries around the world," said Liu, who comes from Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, and is an undergraduate at the London School of Economics, where she is majoring in social policy with government.

"I enjoy sharing knowledge about China with them, and often these conversations make me wish I knew my own country a lot better," she said.
