The new job means heavier responsibilities and pressure. But Koroteev still prefers it because here he can directly take part in projects and see the outcome of the joint construction of the Belt and Road by the two countries.
THE KYRGYZ DREAM
In another part of Central Asia, buses bearing banners saying "China-Kyrgyzstan Friendship" are a common sight in the streets of Bishkek, capital of Kyrgyzstan.
With more and more Chinese enterprises and projects arriving and creating local jobs, learning the Chinese language has become a goal for many locals.
Liu Vladimir, who was born in Vladivostok, Russia, is a well-known sinologist in Kyrgyzstan today.
The 65-year-old studied Chinese at the Russian Far Eastern National University and became a Chinese language translator after graduation. In the early 1990s, he began teaching Chinese at the Bishkek Humanities University and this summer, retired as director of the Confucius Institute at the university.
"I have done just two things in my life. One is learning Chinese, the other is teaching Chinese," he said, laughing.
For more than 20 years, Liu and his colleagues have taught nearly 3,000 students pursuing Chinese language studies. Now some of them work for Chinese enterprises, some serve at Kyrgyz government organs, and some have become Chinese language teachers, just like Liu.
The Chinese language has shaped his whole life and his aspiration today is to bring up more Chinese language talents. I hope China realizes the "Chinese Dream", he said. Then my students can utilize what they have learned to realize their "Kyrgyz Dream."
