2023-06-29 Download Print


He Ding (Chinese name), a 24-year-old student from Cameroon, is currently a senior at the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Central South University (CSU), majoring in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation. He's on the way to puesue his childhood dream of mechanical engineering.

Not only does he perform excellently in professional courses, he can speak Chinese fluently, and has formed strong friendships with his teachers and schoolmates.


"I am truly enjoying a fulfilling and happy life here, which I often share with my family," he said. When talking about the future, he plans to pursue postgraduate studies and then find a job in China after graduation, to gain valuable work experiences. He expects to utilize what he has learned in China to contribute to the development of his homeland, when the time comes for him to go back to Cameroon one day.
