A Pakistani whose Chinese name is Cha Bo is currently doing an internship at Nantong City Daxin Engineering Co Ltd in Hai'an, Nantong, East China's Jiangsu province.

Cha has fallen in love with China after four years of studying in the country to obtain a master's and doctoral degree in project management and civil engineering at Shandong University and Southeast University, respectively.

"I love China and I will work in the country," said Cha.

After learning that Hai'an is inviting overseas students in China to do internships and that there was a suitable internship at Daxin, Cha seized the opportunity without hesitation.

"The minute I arrived in Hai'an, I felt I was home. Everything made me feel comfortable here," said Cha when talking about his first impressions of Hai'an.

Based on Cha's major and interests, the Pakistani intern is set to take charge of the construction management of Hai'an High School's dormitory building.

Although Cha has lived in China for four years, he is still not proficient in speaking Chinese and his five colleagues have volunteered to teach him Chinese. In return, fitness enthusiast Cha is teaching them how to swim.

Cha's internship in Hai'an is now halfway over and he said the best thing about the experience is that he has learned a lot more about China and increased his professional knowledge.
