  Do you have the courage to live in a totally different country without the ability to speak the local language? Do you have the boldness to study an advanced course in a totally different language?

  Qi Jianheng is an overseas student from Korea. Five years ago, he chose to study in Shandong University with no language foundation at all.

  “Before, my sister had studied in Shandong. Later, she got her master degree and Doctor Degree there. Everytime when she returned to Korea, she would tell me about the beauty and charm of Shandong. Gradually, I was fascinated by Shandong. So here I come.” Language barrier is not that tough for him. “My sister told me that Shandong people are real nice and friendly, so I was not that scared.”

  Qi Jianheng takes his courses in Shandong University School of Medicine, where there are basically Chinese students, with few foreign students and fewer Korean students. “Chinese students are real nice to me. When I first came here, lots of students will actively give their hands to me. At that time, I knew nothing about Chinese language. My classmates were of great assistance to me.”

  Qi Jianheng chose to take the Chinese courses instead of the international courses designed for overseas students. Because of the similar skin and hair and eyes, he is just like his Chinese student, even the teachers and professors did not realize that there is a Korean student in the class.

  Medicine major is really hard. Lots of Chinese students need to be cautious and conscientious to study it and large quantities of Chinese technical terms are difficult to the Chinese students, let alone Qi Jianheng. However, through his persevere efforts and his classmates’ help, he never failed in his examination and gradually did well in his study.

  Qi Jianheng intends to stay in Shandong to get higher education after graduation, and hope to become a doctor in China.
