He Opens Chinese Classes in Vietnam
From 2013 to 2023, the ten years since the launch of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Chen Rujue, whose Vietnamese name is Tran Nho Quyet, made the remarkable transformation from a student who traveled thousands of miles to study in China into an entrepreneur in his own country. Chen started off in China as a master’s student at the College of Information and Computer Engineering (class of 2013) and then pursued a doctoral degree at the College of Economics and Management (class of 2018) of Northeast Forestry University. After graduation, he returned to Vietnam and established the Vietnam Times International Education Company, dedicated to promoting Chinese language learning and enabling Vietnamese students who want to study in China and to contributing to the BRI. "Coming to Harbin, which is so far away from my hometown, was a huge challenge in my life," Chen said. "Opening Chinese language classes in Vietnam is another one. However, I believe people can only tap into the vitality of life through challenges."
