B
Rafin, a 16-year-old student from Kenya, has made amazing progress in learning Chinese. Although she has only studied the language for two years, she can speak Chinese with great confidence.
Her journey with the Chinese language began through her eldest brother, who traveled to China in 2018 to get a master's degree in Chinese. When he returned in 2022, his smooth Chinese caught Rafin's attention. "My brother came back with a mobile phone I had never seen before, and everything he brought was made in China. I was curious about this country that seemed to produce so much and I wanted to know more," she says with a smile. "So, I took Chinese language classes at my junior high school two years ago."
In May 2023, she told her Chinese teacher she decided to enter the Chinese Bridge Competition even though there were only two weeks left. She spent those two weeks working really hard. She practised her speech every day, carefully wrote her article, and prepared her performance. At last, her hard work paid off. Her speech, article and performance at the competition pleased the judges. She won a big prize, including a free trip to China.
In October that year, she traveled to China with her teacher. The moment she arrived, she was greeted by friendly Chinese people. She visited famous places like the Great Wall and made friends with local students. When she came back, many other students at her school were encouraged by her success. Out of 200 students, 90 chose to learn Chinese.
"I want to become an ambassador (大使) in the future and learn more about Chinese language and culture," says Rafin.
