South China Agricultural University Scholarship
South China Agricultural University has played a wonderful role in my life. To be in Scau, was a life changing experience. I came across a wonderful bunch of people who helped my survival in China. I still remember when I got the acceptance from Professor Xuequn Pang a very humble person, I was filled with joy. My family and friends motivated me to go and study in such a competent country where I can learn a lot. China is a magnificent and beautiful country to live in but it has some barrier as well. The most difficult and significant of all is “Language” barrier. I was lucky enough to have Chinese language classes but still that didn’t fulfill the requirement. I think by speaking short sentences we can improve the language. The only option we have is to practice the language. Overall it was a tremendous and unforgettable time of my life. The people of China are helpful and cooperative but very straight forward. As such I didn’t face any problem everything was available on just one click. The place was very peaceful and amazing. I enjoyed each and every moment I spent there. I survived, I learned I groomed!

Je m’appelle Maman Hassan Abdoulahi. Je suis étudiant boursier CSC en troisième année de Master à South China Agricultural University (SCAU), département des ressources naturelles et de l’environnement, spécialité Science de Sol.
J’ai eu une expérience mémorable à SCAU, les personnels du bureau des étudiants internationaux sont ouverts accueillants et attentif et répondent humblement aux besoins des étudiants internationaux. Ensemble avec d’autres étudiants internationaux et les dirigeants du CIE, nous avons eu l’occasion de participer à des événements très importantes et remarquable. C’était un grand plaisir et fantastique de rencontrer les étudiants chinois et étrangers de plusieurs nationalités à SCAU, partager des bons moments dans différents endroits et à travers différentes activités. L’une des principales raisons qui m’a amené à choisir SCAU, est que c’est une université qui a plus d’un siècle d’existence avec une expérience progressive et un exploit croissant depuis sa création, elle a fait ses preuves de créativité dans le développement de science et notamment dans le domaine agronomique à travers une formation de qualité. SCAU est situé dans une ville considérée comme une métropole internationale, un endroit où la vie est belle avec une histoire intéressante. C’est aussi une fusion de différentes cultures où les gens qui parlent des langues différentes s’amusent avec l’inspiration créative.
Néanmoins, pour la plupart des étrangers il y a certainement des difficultés rencontrées au début, il s’agit de barrière linguistique mais ce n’est pas vraiment le plus bloquant parce que dans la vie scolaire, beaucoup de Chinois parlent anglais, ou du moins le comprennent plus souvent par écrit qu’en oral, et c’est généralement suffisant pour communiquer sur l’essentiel. En plus, l’habitude vient naturellement avec le peu de temps, puis la communication devient plus fluide et plus facile à comprendre.

आफ्नो अध्यनलाई अगाडि बढाउने क्रममा CSC छात्रवृत्ति मार्फत मलाई चीन आउने अवसर प्राप्त भयो। म आफ्नो स्नाकोत्तर तहको अध्ययन साउथ चाइना एग्रिकल्चर कलेज (SCAU), गोन्जाउमा गरिरहेको छ। साउथ चाइना एग्रिकल्चर कलेज (SCAU) चिनको प्रख्यात कलेजहरुमध्ये एक रहेको छ। अध्यन, खोज र अनुसन्धानको लागी इच्छा मात्र भएर हुदैन्, उपयुक्त वातावरण पनि चाहिन्छ र SCAU ले त्यो वातावरण आफ्ना विधार्थीहरुलाई सहजै उपलब्ध गराउने गरेको छ। हामीलाइ फरक सहर र भाषाले गर्दा सुरुका दिनहरुमा केहि असहज महसुस भएको थियो । दैनिकी जीवन यापनमा सहज होस् भनेर युनिभर्सिटीले चिनिया भाषाको कक्षाको व्यवस्था गरिएको हुदॅा बिस्तारै दिनहरु सहज हुॅदै गए। बाहिरवाट आएका विधार्थीहरुको लागी अंग्रेजीमा नै सबै कक्षा संचालनमा गरियो भने foreign students लाइ अझ सहज होला झै लाग्छ। हामीहरुलाई जस्तोसुकौ समस्यामा पनि हरबखत मदत गर्ने International office को सर म्याम र कोरोनाको कहरमा चारैतिर डर र त्रास फैलिरहेको समयमा पनि हामीलाइ सुरक्षित आवासको साथै माया र स्नेह प्रदान गरि हरेक समयमा हामीलाई सुरक्षित रहन प्रेरित गर्नुहुने सबै SCAU परिवारलाइ म मनैबाट धन्यवाद भन्न चाहान्छ। नेपाल र चिन छिमेकी मुलुक मात्र नभइ असल मित्र रास्ट्र रहेको हुदॅा आगामी दिनहरुमा पनि नेपाल र चीनको सम्बन्ध अझै प्रगाढ बन्दै जाने छ र यो सम्बन्ध सदैव सौहारदपुर्ण रहने छ भन्ने आश गरेको छु।

La Universidad Agricultural del Sur de China ha tenido un rol importante en mi vida, desde que empece solo he tenido buenas experiencias y mucho aprendizaje. De por si venir a un pais con una lengua dificil de aprender ya era todo un reto. Al principio obviamente hubo problemas con el idioma pero con ayuda de mis companeros y profesores, logre sobrellevar esa barrera inicial. Aqui la gente es muy amigable, dispuestos a ayudar y bueno tenemos actividades cada semestre asi que la pasas bueno aqui. Personalmente escogi estudiar en SCAU por el ambiente tan ampio y verde que tienen. Hay de todo en el campus y encima queda cerca del centro de la ciudad. Academicamente, es una de las mejores en la provincia, tiene convenio con universidades top del mundo y sobre todo tiene un desarrollado centro de investigacion.

دائما ما كنت أحلم بالدراسة في الخارج لإستكشاف أماكن وثقافات جديدة، ويوما ما رأيت احد إعلانات منح الحكومة الصينية للطلاب الدوليين، فكانت هذه هي الفرصة التي لطالما بحثت عنها؛ فالصين تتمتع بتعليم عالي الجودة مع عدد كبير من الجامعات المصنفة عالميًا، لاريب انه تم تصنيفها كالدولة الاعلي في النشر العلمي مابين عامي 2016 و 2018. وسرعان ما أعددت قائمة بأفضل عشر جامعات زراعية صينية، وكانت من بينها جامعة جنوب الصين الزراعية (SCAU) والتي كانت بالنسبة لي المكان المثالي لدراسة الدكتوراة؛ حيث تذخر SCAU بمرافق تعليمية وامكانيات بحثية حديثة وأعضاء هيئة تدريس ذو مستوي رفيع، كما ان موقعها في مدينة الزهور (جوانزو) يزودها ببيئة خلابة تلائم الدراسة والمعيشة. وبالفعل أتممت طلب الالتحاق بجامعة SCAU ويوم تلقي خطاب القبول بالجامعة كان من أسعد أيام حياتي. وعند وصولي إليSCAU ، كانت هذه هي المرة الأولى التي أغادر فيها أرض الوطن؛ وعلى الرغم من أنني كنت متحمسة جدًا، إلا أنني كنت قلقة بشأن إختلاف الثقافة وحاجز اللغة. ولكن بعد فترة وجيزة تحول هذا القلق الي إنبهار بالثقافة الصينية والتقدم العلمي وأحببت الحياة في SCAU؛ فالشعب الصيني ترحاب ومتعاون للغاية، وإسلوب الحياة رائع ويمكنني الحصول علي كل ما أريد بسهولة ويسر، وتتوافر المطاعم التي تقدم أطعمة حلال رخيصة ولذيذة داخل و خارج الحرم الجامعي. وفي رأيي السعي لتكوين صداقات مع العديد من الصينين وتعلم وتحدث اللغة الصينية هما السبيل الامثل لتيسير الحياة داخل SCAU و جعلها مليئة بالذكريات السعيدة. كطالبة في جامعة SCAU خضت تجربة تعليمية متميزة زودتني بالإثرء المعرفي والتقدم في مجال دراستي وعلمتني قيمة العمل الجاد والمثابرة. كما وجدت نفسي محاطة بمجموعة رائعة من الاشخاص، فلطالما كان مشرف الدكتوراة الخاص بي داعمًا ومحفزًا وموجهًا لي في كل جوانب دراستي، كما يوفر لي كافة الإمكانيات البحثية، و زملائي متعاونون ولا يتمللون من إرشادي في كلا الحياتين اليومية والمختبرية. ويحتوي الحرم الجامعي على مناظر طبيعية ومساحات خضراء واسعة، والعديد من الملاعب لمختلف الرياضات. وعادة ما يتم تنظيم أنشطة ورحلات ترفيهية وثقافية واسعة للطلاب الدوليين. وتمتلئ مدينة جوانزو بالأماكن الترفيهية التي لا حصر لها. ختاما، يمكنني القول بأن قرار الدراسة في SCAU هو أفضل قرار اتخذته في حياتي المهنية والذي أوصي به بشدة لأي طالب.
