HEFEI, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- Deborah Bret, a 21-year-old student from Lyon, France, majors in clinical medicine at Anhui Medical University in Hefei City, east China's Anhui Province.

Bret, also known as Zhang Bohan in Chinese, has been learning Taichi since the age of five under the influence of her father, and thus developed a deep yearning to go to China. Bret continued learning Taichi from a local instructor after she came to Anhui in 2019 for her academic studies. In 2023, Bret won two first prizes in a national Wushu competition for college students.

Bret also enjoys climbing mountains in China. "The most impressive experience of mine is climbing Huangshan Mountain, one of the country's most famous scenic spots. I felt like I was wandering in a Chinese landscape painting," Bret said.

Bret loves Chinese cuisine, landscapes and traditional Chinese culture. Speaking of the future, she hopes to help others with her medical knowledge and let more people know about China.
