Two years ago, Huang Ruhui finished in yunnan normal university graduate student, now, in the Thai consulate general in kunming was the director of business information service center, specializing in business communication between China and Thailand and service work. "My family is Chinese," he said in Chinese. "if I don't speak any Chinese, I'm not a qualified Chinese." He laughed, and eight years ago he made up his mind to learn Chinese well, "because I want to be a real Chinese." Initially, Huang Ruhui in Thailand for a language training center to learn Chinese, he confidently to learn Chinese well, "said at that time the people around you are against me, my English is not very good, is it too difficult to learn Chinese?"

Mo kunfa, liu mingkang and Chen fuxing are the Chinese names of the three Cambodian handsome men, who were helped by yunnan teachers.

Students in Cambodia go abroad to study abroad, followed by South Korea, China and Vietnam. Mo kun's cousin, cousin, is now studying in the United States and France. Mokun chose to study in China because "Chinese companies have a lot to do with Cambodia." Nowadays, there are many Chinese companies to start a company of Cambodia, in the eyes of some Cambodian youths, these foreign companies from China, working environment is good, to learn Chinese, is the chance to work for the Chinese. In addition, China's economy is developed, "studying here can learn a lot of knowledge in the financial field".
In kunming, there are not many students from Cambodia, but yunnan university and yunnan university of finance and economics have their own figures. Thanks to the cooperation between Cambodia and education in yunnan, these students can get some government scholarships more or less. However, the government scholarship is not an application, and mo kun has a good academic record, so he is very happy to get the full scholarship.
Another handsome man, liu mingkang, also won a government scholarship. He was also a graduate student in yunnan province, majoring in business administration. In his view, "yunnan university of finance and economics has a higher degree than some Cambodian universities."
Liu mingkang's plan for his future is: "after graduation, he will come to China to buy things to sell in Cambodia and do a good job in trade between the two countries." To this end, he, like other Cambodian students, studied very hard and rarely went out, but had the opportunity to "go to Beijing and see the Great Wall".
And Chen Fuxing, slightly shy of the Cambodian boy came to China since 2008, has been rich in yunnan asean institute majoring in business administration for two years, he studied hard in the weekdays, "no lesson of time I will read in the library, or in the dormitory surfing the Internet". As for the future, his plan is clear: after graduation, he plans to return to the Chinese company in Cambodia to develop his professional skills in Chinese and business administration.

黄汝辉（泰国）
两年前，黄汝辉在云南师范大学读完了硕士研究生，现在的他，在泰国驻昆总领馆担任商务信息服务中心主任，专门从事泰国与中国之间的商务交流与服务工作。他中文说得异常流利：“我们家是华裔，如果一点中文都不会讲的话，我就算不上称职的华裔。”他笑言，8年前他就下定决心要学好中文，“因为我想成为真正的华裔。”最初，黄汝辉在泰国找了一家语言培训中心学汉语，他信心满满地要学好中文，“当时周围的人都打击我，说我的英文都不太好，学中文岂不是太难？”那时候，泰国学生都热衷学英文与日语，因为很多人想去欧美和日本留学。但黄汝辉从小就听爷爷奶奶讲故乡——中国汕头的故事。他认为，来中国留学才是最好的选择。
很巧，在语言培训中心认识了来自昆明的、正在学习泰语的姐弟俩，黄汝辉与他们成了好朋友，姐弟俩看他学中文入迷，便推荐他到昆明。来到昆明之前，黄汝辉已经在语言培训中心学习了3年中文，但口语不顺畅。在昆明，他参加了一年的培训班，之后考取了云南师范大学语言学及应用语言学。黄汝辉说，他毕业后，想回泰国当中文老师，但正逢泰国驻昆总领馆招聘，他被录用。总领事参加外事活动时，他经常成为总领事身边的中文翻译。
“我刚来云南留学时，泰国学生还没有50名。现在，在云南的泰国留学生可能已经超过2000人。” 黄汝辉感慨。来昆明已经5年了，每年回泰国时，他都发现了一些新变化。“以前小学、中学的国际语言只有英语，现在有的小学开中文课了，连曼谷百货大楼都设有中文培训中心。中文也有考级，最高级为11级，如今，黄汝辉已经达到了9级。
把中国货卖到柬埔寨
莫坤发、刘明康、陈福兴(柬埔寨)
留学账单(人民币)
学费：若免费，每年约免1万多元。
生活费： 1000元左右/月。
回家路费：机票往返约2000元，每年两个假期都安排回家，总计约5000元。
李文莲(左上)、叶素贞(左下)、刘明康(右上)和莫坤发(右下)
莫坤发、刘明康、陈福兴，是这三位柬埔寨帅哥的中文名，是云南老师帮他们取的。
2008年，莫坤发从柬埔寨民生中学毕业后，来到云南财经大学求学，之前他的老师告诉他：“在柬埔寨，只会母语找不到好工作。”这句话触动了他。虽然年纪小，莫坤发却有了雄心，“我要学金融，将来进银行业工作。”
柬埔寨的学子，若出国留学，去美国的最多，其次是韩国、中国、越南。莫坤发的表弟、表妹，如今就分别在美国、法国留学。莫坤发选择到中国留学，因为“中国企业与柬埔寨联系很多。” 如今，也有不少中国企业到柬埔寨开公司，在一些柬埔寨年轻人的眼里，这些来自中国的外资公司，工作环境不错，学好中文，就有到这些中国公司工作的机会。此外，中国经济发达，“在这里留学，可以学到金融领域的很多学问”。
在昆明，来自柬埔寨的留学生并不多，但云南大学、云南财经大学都有他们的身影。受惠于柬埔寨与云南教育的合作，这些留学生们可以或多或少地拿一些政府奖学金。但政府奖学金，不是一申请就能获得，莫坤发的学习成绩好，因此很开心地拿到了全额奖学金。
另一位帅哥刘明康也获得了政府奖学金。他同样在云南财大读书，读的是研究生，学的是工商管理。在他看来，“云南财经大学的学历，比柬埔寨一些大学还要硬。”
刘明康对自己的未来规划是：“将来毕业后，要来中国买东西到柬埔寨去卖，做好两国之间的贸易。”为此，他和其他柬埔寨留学生一样，学习相当努力，很少外出，但有机会的话，“想去北京，看看长城”。
而陈福兴，这位略带羞涩的柬埔寨男生自2008年来到中国，已在云南财大东盟学院工商管理专业学习了两年，平日里的他学习努力，“没课的时候我都会在图书馆看看书，或是在宿舍上网”。对于未来，他的规划清晰：毕业后，打算回到柬埔寨的中国公司，发挥自己中文及工商管理专业特长。
回国找份好工作
李文莲(老挝)
留学账单(人民币)
学费：免费(由中国政府提供全额奖学金)，每年节省了1.3万元的学费。
生活费： 1400元左右/月。此外，回家是一笔不小的开支。
喜欢买书：一个月约200元左右。
李文莲（老挝）
广西、福建的老挝留学生，可能比云南多。但在云南的老挝留学生，2009年人数也近千名。李文莲穿着一身清清爽爽的运动装，中文流利。不细心的话，很容易将她误认为中国学生。今年，已是这位开朗的老挝女孩来滇的第三年，来自华裔家庭的她，自六岁起便进入寮都公学学汉语。寮都公学，是老挝万象中华理事会属下的一所华文学校，可以从幼儿园读到高中，这样算下来，李文莲已经有了14年的汉语学习经历。
李文莲喜欢运动，这使得她结交了一帮关系不错的球友，其中，有其他国家的留学生，也不乏中国学生。
对自己的未来，这位看似大大咧咧的20岁女生有着清晰明确的规划。毕业后，她准备申请在中国继续深造，之后，将根据当初与寮都公学签订的条款，回到母校教授5年的汉语课程。再之后，进入中国在老挝的外资公司？呵呵，不错的就业选择之一。
留在中国不易
叶素贞(越南) 留学账单(人民币)
学费：免费(每年免1.8万元)。生活费： 1000元左右/月。服装：到学校附近买，比较省钱，偶尔去南屏街买。
叶素贞（越南）
在滇的东南亚国家留学生中，来自越南的人数很多，仅排在泰国之后。如果能获得政府奖学金，一年就能免掉1.8万元的学费，4年下来，能省多少钱啊！
叶素贞来昆明已经三年了，刚来时，她只能说一些简单的问候语，如今，已经可以流畅地跟云南人打交道了。有一天，叶素贞还做了一个梦，“梦到我的中文、英文交叉着讲时，一点也不会乱。我高兴得笑醒了1
这是学习语言的过程中，不得不面对的一个现实，叶素贞就容易犯这个错，如果将学英文与学中文同步进行，脑子一定会乱，不知怎样自如地表达。“所以这几年我就专心地学中文了。”
来云南留学，叶素贞是冲着气候来的，“离我家近，气候好，但来了后发现有些干燥，但是慢慢适应了，比越南凉爽多了。我喜欢1 因为喜欢，她曾经萌生了留下的念头，然而，“我听到同学说，中国大学生毕业后找工作都很难，他们的中文比我好，我就不要在中国争强好胜了，只有回国发挥长处了。”
叶素贞的计划是，毕业后回国再学两年英语，不过，先打算去在越投资的中国公司上班。在她的眼里，中国公司规模大，又气派，值得投入职业激情。
