[Explanation] Recently, the 2020 Thai students of Liuzhou Railway Vocational and Technical College ushered in the first practical training class.
In the railway training ground of the school, international students learn knowledge such as mechanical maintenance and measuring gauge.
[Commentary] On the eve of the Spring Festival, Lin Hongchun, an overseas student from Thailand, set foot in China for the first time.
Knowing that there will be a practical training course after the school term starts, Lin Hongchun is eager to try it.
He said frankly that he was faced with the difficulty of carrying out practical training courses through online learning.
He hopes to learn Chinese and high-speed rail technology well after arriving in China, so as to contribute to the development of Thailand's railways.

First of all, I am more interested in high-speed rail. After coming here to study, I can get started (and) see the real working environment. I feel very excited.
[Explanation] As a vocational college with a railway background in Southwest China, Liuzhou Railway Vocational and Technical College has recruited 4 Thai students and 2 Lao students.
Among them, 45 Thai students have graduated, and 26 students have entered the rail transit enterprises in Thailand.
With the advancement of the China-Thailand railway cooperation project, learning high-speed rail technology has become the choice of many ASEAN students.
[Explanation] Huang Encai, a 26-year-old Thai student studying abroad, was originally a student majoring in architecture. For this reason, he changed his major and went to China to learn high-speed rail technology.
He said that he looks forward to returning to Thailand to engage in related work after he has completed his studies.
[Concurrent] Huang Encai, a Thai student from Liuzhou Railway Vocational and Technical College
Today's study has allowed me to learn knowledge that I have never learned in Thailand, and I feel very interesting.
If I graduate, I plan to take what I have learned here back to Thailand and apply it to work, because the technology here is more advanced, and I have more job opportunities in railway construction than other people.
[Explanation] In order to quickly improve the professional practical ability of international students, Liuzhou Railway Vocational and Technical College gives them "overweight" training courses.
And through the establishment of Chinese traditional culture research camps, Chinese family pairings, etc., international students can integrate into the life of studying abroad in China as soon as possible.
[Concurrent] Luo Xiaofang, Vice President of Liuzhou Railway Vocational and Technical College
Before this group of international students, they mainly studied online, so what they lack most is practical skill operation and training. Strengthen training skills.
[Explanation] As a window for exchanges and cooperation between China and ASEAN, Guangxi has become one of the provinces and regions in China that receive the most overseas students from ASEAN countries, and the brand effect of "study in Guangxi" continues to expand.
Universities in Guangxi have established 8 Confucius Institutes in ASEAN countries, and more than 10 vocational colleges have cooperated with enterprises to "go global" to train technical and skilled talents for Chinese-funded enterprises stationed abroad and ASEAN countries.
