On June 20, 12 international students from 6 universities, 6 six cities, and 11 countries present their shows on the stage of My China Story Talk Show Ⅲ at Zhejiang University of Technology, telling their stories about what they have experienced in China. 


On the stage, we saw a freshman, who hones his willpower and engages with Chinese students via volleyball in his free time. We saw an art student convey her understanding of Chinese culture through the visual communication knowledge she learned in ZJUT. Genuity, open-mindedness, and the will of sharing are not footnotes, but permanent themes of My China Story Talk Show Ⅲ.


Taking this opportunity, we took an interview with Paul, who has stayed in ZJUT, Hangzhou, for eight years. And now, as an ex-pat, he works as a Ph.D. student in ZJUT. He said in his speech that he is eager to be a promoter to tighten the collaboration between China and Ghana’s universities. 


Here comes the interview with Paul.

J: Please briefly introduce yourself.

P: I’m Paul Agyemang from Ghana. I major in information engineering. My Ph.D. is in control science and engineering. And now, I’m a post-doctoral at the Zhejiang University of Technology.

 

J: Could you please briefly introduce your major and your academic background?

P: What I can say is that my work is just full of academics, improving the world of scientific research. It is not an easy job for me to put what I study into a more down-to-earth term. But I should say that our academic fruits are mostly applicable to public transportations, infrastructures, and powerhouses.

 

J: Just now, you win the award for “the best story” in the competition. How do you feel right now?

P: It’s really a motivation for us because this gives us the opportunity to improve in the future. It urges us to work harder.

 

J: As an outstanding graduate of ZJUT, how do you want to suggest those who plan to study in China? 

P: What I will tell them is that it’s very important to study in China. 

 

J: From an international student’s perspective, what changes have you ever perceived in Hangzhou or Zhejiang?

P: Now we can buy a lot of things with our phones, buy everything. There is also a fast train around our school as well, the vehicle which you can take to go to town. There are a lot of changes in Hangzhou. So, if they want to come to Hangzhou and experience all these beautiful things, yes, of course, they should come.

 

J: How do you feel about living in Zhejiang?

P: I feel that we are cared for by the school and the government, not being treated as strangers. China has offered us scholarships that help us to cope with our studies, as well as financial problems. And this is one of the things that China has done great for us, and I felt very grateful.
