Ju1y 15, 2000

After graduating from the prestigious foreign Affair Co1lege, where I majored in French 1anguage and internationa1 relations and studied English as the second foreign 1anguage, I passed the highly competitive entrance test and joined the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I worked in the Ministry's Department of Asian Affairs for four years, inc1uding 2 years in the Chinese Embassy in Phnom PenomPenh. After that, I have been working to date for the cultural changes Center, an organization affiliated to the Chinese Ministry of Culture.　

Curious enough, the more I work, the more inadequate I find myse1f to keep up with the rapid changes taking place in China. I feel an increasing need to broaden my horizons and upgrade my knowledge.It is time, I realized, I had some further studies.　

China is now in a transition from a state-control1ed economy to a free market economy. The dynamics freed-up by the economic reform have worked mirac1es. As China improves its economic legislation and nears the goal of being granted WTO membership, I be1ieve the golden era for China's economic development is yet to come and business opportunities will be tremendous. That is why I decided to study business. After the completion of the post-graduate study program, I will come back to China, equipped with the economic theories and expertise that I acquire at your school, to play a role in the economy boom in China.
