Bui Le Duy, a first-year student majoring in Chinese, has realized his dream of venturing out into the wider world through an enriching journey in China. Duy’s story is not only a testament to continuous effort but also a source of inspiration encouraging Thai Binh Duong University students to confidently seize the international opportunities.
Duy’s passion for Chinese ignited from his early days on campus. To turn his love into action, Duy diligently cultivated his knowledge, not minding the late nights spent studying for the HSK3 exam. Thorough preparation of his application and confidence during the interview helped Duy excellently secure a 5-month scholarship at Zhejiang GongShang University – one of the key and long-established universities in Hangzhou, China.
Hangzhou, a city famous for its poetic West Lake and a vibrant economic and technological hub, has left Duy with unforgettable impressions. Studying at Zhejiang GongShang University, an institution with strengths in business, finance, and e-commerce, has opened up opportunities for Duy to access the most advanced knowledge. In particular, Hangzhou is also the “headquarters” of the Alibaba Group and the hometown of billionaire Jack Ma, a great source of inspiration for students with entrepreneurial aspirations.
Duy shared interesting insights with the editorial team about his colorful life abroad. Duy spoke about the dormitory – a warm common home for friends from all over the world – and the evenings spent chatting and sharing, which helped Duy broaden his horizons and learn many new things. Duy also had many opportunities to experience the unique beauty of traditional Chinese culture, such as the Qingming Festival and local cuisine.
Duy also proudly showed off his “small but mighty” student card in China, which integrates many modern conveniences, from paying at the cafeteria to facial recognition for entering and exiting the school gates and dormitory. In particular, Duy was also able to register for sports fields for free, making it easy for him to connect and integrate with the student community here.
Bui Le Duy’s story is a vivid illustration of the wonderful opportunities that Thai Binh Duong University offers students on their journey of international integration. We encourage you to boldly dream, confidently explore, and don’t hesitate to try your hand at the study abroad, transfer, exchange, and cultural exchange programs. Because international experiences not only enrich knowledge and expand relationships but are also valuable assets that help you confidently step into a challenging and opportunity-filled globalized future.
