[Explanation] According to statistics, before the epidemic, the annual number of Chinese students studying abroad had exceeded 700,000, and the number of students studying in China was close to 500,000.

China has become the largest source of international students for many countries, the largest destination country for overseas students in Asia, and the third largest destination country for overseas students in the world.

Educational exchanges have become a bridge between China and the world, in which international students have played an important role.

  [Explanation] Why do you want to study in China?

What are the similarities and differences between the scenery that international students see between "going out" and "coming in"?

The National Two Sessions in 2022 are being held. Recently, three international students from different regions visited China News Agency and China News.com to talk about their stories of studying abroad.

Lu Yan, who majored in acupuncture and massage at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a Chinese from Malaysia. When talking about why he chose a major in traditional Chinese medicine, Lu Yan said that it also starts with the TV series "Bao Qingtian" he has watched.

  Isn't there a character named Mr. Gongsun Ce in "Bao Qingtian"? In my impression, he sometimes gives people a pulse, and sometimes gives them acupuncture.

One year later, my family members fell ill when they went abroad to visit relatives. A relative who was studying Chinese medicine happened to be there, and he treated the family members.

So later I gradually got to know Chinese medicine, and I became interested in it, so I came to study it.

  [Explanation] After coming to China to study at university, are the international students satisfied with their life in China?

Mina, an international student from Jordan who is studying at the Law School of Renmin University of China, admitted that after coming to China to study, she felt that China was very much like her own home.

  Because I have also been to many countries, and many countries in those regions may feel that you are unfamiliar in that place, and it will not feel like home.

After coming to China, I feel that China is very like home, and then I especially welcome my family and friends to come and experience our feelings.

I think the most unimaginable thing in China is that everyone is very enthusiastic and everything is convenient, especially now that technology is very advanced.

  [Explanation] Mao Lingling, a Chinese girl studying in France, has long since adapted to life abroad.

During school in France, Mao Lingling used her spare time to take to the streets to play Chinese songs.

Mao Lingling said that music is the common language of human beings, and the songs she played often moved foreigners.

  I will deliberately choose some very Chinese-style songs, and there will also be some other foreign songs crossed in.

I really want to show them our Chinese culture and Chinese music.

They will also like it very much. I often see them crying when they are moved, which will give me a lot of strength.

  [Explanation] The National Two Sessions in 2022 are being held, and Chinese and foreign students have also expressed their concerns and expectations for the Two Sessions.

  Because I am currently studying the law on the protection of the disabled, I am more curious about the medical treatment of the disabled, and what new updates will there be.

Then the second possibility is that I think some poverty alleviation policies. When I was studying before, I also learned that China's poverty alleviation policies have been taken away by many foreign governments, and used as a template to learn from it, and give some of my own poverty alleviation problems to Solved, because poverty alleviation is a world problem.

  [Concurrent] Lv Yan, student of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine

  I have only recently started to care about the two sessions, and I will be more concerned about cultural dissemination, especially the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine culture.

  [Concurrent] Mao Lingling, a student of the National Conservatory of Music in Bordeaux, France

  I am more concerned about the possible future development of art education, and I myself still want to know what new promotions there will be in the future.
