She served as an outstanding example of a foreign graduate student. As a prominent international student representative, she was given the opportunity to deliver a speech.
In her speech, she began by expressing her heartfelt gratitude to the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia for their support and assistance. She also conveyed her thanks to her alma mater, Sekolah Harapan Bangsa, for nurturing and guiding her, allowing her to realize her dream of studying in China. She shared her experience of embracing Chinese culture, its vast development potential, and the exceptional teachers and classmates she met during her studies there. She also highlighted the benefits of China's education system for international students. Finally, she thanked the Chinese Government Scholarship Program and sent her kind wishes to other scholarship recipients. Her fluent speech in Mandarin Chinese and sincere content were appreciated by the audience.
Apart from the four foreign student representatives giving speeches, the event was also attended Mr. Reda Manthovani, the Attorney General of the Special Jakarta Territory, to deliver a speech. The Chinese Ambassador to Indonesia, Mr. Lu Kang, also delivered a speech. In his address, Ambassador Lu Kang expressed his joy and appreciation for the student representatives' speeches. He congratulated the scholarship recipients and thanked the parents and teachers for their support. Ambassador Lu emphasized the importance of advancing exchanges and cooperation between China and various fields worldwide. The Chinese government has established a scholarship program to support outstanding students from different countries in studying or conducting research at top universities in China. From 2017 to 2023, approximately 810 outstanding students have received the Chinese government scholarship, becoming ambassadors of friendship between China and Indonesia. Currently, over 15,000 Indonesian students are studying in China, and China's openness and inclusiveness has made it a prime choice for Indonesian youths seeking education abroad. The Chinese Government Scholarship Program provides comprehensive support to students aspiring to study in China, with the aim of expanding bilateral exchanges, strengthening friendship, and promoting further cooperation. The students will soon embark on their study journey in China, and it is hoped they will make the best use of this opportunity, build good relationships with teachers and classmates, deepen their understanding of China, and share their experiences with more people to enhance genuine understanding of China.
After enthusiastic applause from the audience, Ambassador Lu Kang presented admission letters to the attending student representatives and took a group photo with them. He also conversed with the student representatives to better understand their study and life situations in China. Mr. Zhou Bin, the Cultural Counselor from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, also posed for a photo with the scholarship recipients.
The event concluded in an atmosphere of joy and harmony. Once again, congratulations to the students of Sekolah Harapan Bangsa who have received the Chinese Government Scholarship. Congratulations for this significant achievement, and it is hoped that they will achieve great success and together create a brighter future for both China and Indonesia.
