Chinese, intl students from Yunnan University practices in counties

In order to promote communication and exchanges between Chinese and foreign college students, Yunnan University held a social practice – "Youth from Six Countries to Understand China by Exploring Yunnan's Development" – during this summer vacation.

Twelve youths from China, Tajikistan, Vietnam, Iran, Myanmar, and Nepal went to Jianshui, Yuanyang, Yuxi, Xinping, Jianxing, and other counties and cities in Yunnan for practice.

The practice team visited some rural vitalization demonstration sites and felt the way local people escaped poverty during industrial development.

Nguyen Fei-Long, a Vietnamese student in China, said, "By learning about China's rural vitalization work and communicating with residents, I started thinking about how to reduce poverty in the future."

They visited a purple pottery workshop and learned about the production of purple pottery, one of the four famous ceramics in China. Ye Yingkai, a student from Myanmar, said, "I was shocked when I first learned about the 108 complicated processes of pottery making."

The team went to visit the Hani rice terraces in Yuanyang county, and Fang Yunna, a student from Iran, found solace in the picturesque surroundings and humble ambiance of the area.

Mo Hua, a Tajik student in China, said, "Every place we visited left a deep impression on me. I felt China's rich history, traditional culture, magnificent scenery, and vigorous development."

Yunnan University will enhance brand activities for Chinese and international students to promote youth exchange.
