Participant Testimonial：

I learnt a lot of things from the study trip actually. I learnt things about Chinese culture which I didn't know at all, like Yin&Yang, the diverse dishes, the religions etc. Thanks to the conferences, we learnt about Chinese growth, how China changed from 1978 to 2018. That was really inspiring. I was impressed by the fast development of China. When I learnt about it I was really impressed. You can obviously notice it by comparing the old pictures and China now. Culture shock did present, there is a big difference between Moroccan culture and the Chinese culture. Not only in food, but also in the way of life, how people think and act. Visiting Alibaba was mind-blowing and we are surprised to find Chinese accomplish all the tasks via mobile.

Shanghai is a big city with a lot of opportunities. People are very hospitable, and they are really happy to welcome us. Chinese food as well is very delicious for us. The alumni sharing was very interesting for me. Especially with the professional speeches working in Cathy innovation. He shows us what the Chinese market is for employees and how we have to do if we want to get a job in China. It’s very interesting for me because I’m very interested in working here and I know that I have to start by learning Chinese language. I also liked Rick XU’s course about Chinese history, It gave us many information about Chinese development from the past to the future, about Chinese political management with the great leader Mao Zedong, and finally, thank to his story, we can get a very good version about the Chinese place in the world.
