Njeri,27，is in the second year of a postgraduate degree in international relations at Tianjin Normal University.She arrived in China in June 2006，after coming first in a Chinese governmentorganized language competition in Kenya called Hanyuqiao.Her reward was funding from the Chinese government to study in Tianjin. “She pursued her interest in China by taking Mandarin(普通话)classes at the Confucius Institute in her hometown.It was quite crowded the first day，but because of the difficulty of Chinese，only 20 of the 60 participants stayed until the last class.” Njeri completed her studies that year and moved to China to pursue a degree in language and literature.“I didnt know much before I came here.I thought every girl wore a Qipao every day，” she says.Seven years later，she is now more like a local and has developed interests in Chinese traditional painting and singing.“I love Chinese traditional painting as I consider it to be very elegant.The process is quite peaceful and different from other painting，which requires a lot of colors.” She also appreciates Chinese folk singing. When her studies end in July，Njeri plans to return to Kenya.In the long term，she hopes to return to China to develop an African street in Beijing where people can experience African food，culture and entertainment.She hopes to work to connect China and Africa.“Many foreigners in China say they would like to become a bridge to connect the two countries，but we need to understand our own culture and Chinese culture in depth，” she says.“I have not been home for seven years，and I need to go back and catch up.” 1．Njeri came to China________.
