Mumtahina Parveen, a Bangladeshi student pursuing a master’s degree in econometrics at Xiamen University, describes China as a land of dreams, education, and inspiration. In her account, she highlights the peaceful and safe environment for study, the scenic beauty of Xiamen city, and the disciplined lifestyle of its residents. She notes that the city’s infrastructure, including separate lanes for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles, reflects careful urban planning.

Parveen emphasizes China’s advanced educational environment, where libraries are quiet and well-equipped, and students must register for seats in advance. She also details the country’s technological integration into daily life, from mobile-based financial transactions through WeChat and Alipay to widespread use of facial recognition for security. Online shopping platforms like Taobao and Pinduoduo, along with efficient transport systems, make life highly convenient.

She concludes that China’s disciplined citizens, technological progress, and sustainable urban management offer valuable lessons for Bangladesh. Parveen believes that by adopting similar planning and work ethics, Bangladesh can move toward a more prosperous and modern future.
