First of all, on behalf of all the new international students, please allow me to express my sincere thanks to CUPB. Thank you for providing us with a good platform for future learning and personal development.
I came to China after graduating from high school. I spent four years in Beijing as an undergraduate. To me, Beijing is like my second hometown.
With the dream of looking for oil, I grew up. After I came to China, I did not forget my original intention. In order to achieve the goal of learning petroleum engineering well, I had to attend many internships in addition to attending lectures in the classroom. I have been to the oil fields and practice bases in Renqiu, Lanzhou and Dongying. I have done geological practice in Zhoukoudian mountain area of Beijing. I have slept on the soil Kang with Chinese students in the countryside. I have hated wearing internship clothes in summer and being bitten by mosquitoes in the field. These seemingly hard times have become sweet memories of our "oil people".
In the next four years, I hope to complete my doctoral study and research tasks, and learn more about China and China's oil industry.
For the future, I am full of expectations and believe that youth has unlimited possibilities. I hope each of us can explore our own way in CUPB.
Since then, their study and life in CUPB starts.
