At Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan University, Chinese has replaced Japanese to become the most popular foreign language lesson. The university now has two Chinese teachers teaching 300 students the composition of characters, how to have a daily conversation, and how to write essays.
Some learn Chinese to make a better living, and some do so just for personal interest. Wu Di, now 75 years old, stands out among his young college classmates. He has been learning Chinese for two years.
"I have been to China: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou. I like the Chinese language," Wu Di said.
Currently in Nepal, around 60 elementary and middle schools teach Chinese to their students. The popularity of Chinese doesn’t seem to be wearing off any time in the near future.
