Coming Back to China
Umme Aiman Ahmad (Moutushi), a Bangladeshi, is currently following an MID program (Master of International Development) in the School of Public Policy & Management of Tsinghua University. The principal reason she decided to further her education in China is that she was born here. She says it feels wonderful to return to China, and she can see how much the country has changed.

Why come back to China
Like her Chinese name "Wu Mei", (Mei means beauty in Chinese), she is a beautiful young girl. This is the first time Umme has been back to China since she was born here.
Her father is a diplomat and at the time had a posting in China, so Umme was born in a hospital in Beijing and lived here for four years with her family. To her China is a very special place.
The other reason she would like to learn Chinese lies in the demands of her work. Previously Umme took a Business Management bachelor's degree in Singapore Management University and after that she worked in marketing and sales in Singapore for six months. However she found that in Singapore Chinese is the dominant language, so she decided to come back to learn Chinese, in order to perform better in marketing and sales in Singapore.
Study Chinese at Beijing Language and Culture University
For the first nine months she studied at Beijing Language and Culture University. During this period she met a lot of Chinese enthusiasts and made a lot of friends from different countries.
Study MID program at Tsinghua University.
According to Umme, there are at least 20 nationalities in her class of forty. It is great to spend time with these lovely classmates because she can come into contact with diverse cultures and learn a lot from them.
How to spend spare time
In general she loves Chinese food. Like many foreigners, she is familiar with spicy Sichuan food. Talking about Chinese food, she jokingly says that before she came to China she liked dumplings very much, but when studying in China she bought them a little too often, and now she doesn't want to eat dumplings anymore.
In her spare time, like other young people, Umme likes to listen to music and chat with her friends. She says that most of her friends would like to come to China, either as tourists or for other reasons. She has travelled to many places in China, such as Hunan, Hong Kong, Sichuan, and Inner Mongolia. The first place she went to was Harbin, because she loves the ice sculptures.
Career plan
Although she lived in China for four years when she was very young, and is enjoying her studies in Tsinghua University, all her family members, such as her grandparents, are in Bangladesh. Sometimes she misses them so much that after finishing MID program her first instinct will be to go back to Bangladesh. However, if she has an opportunity to work in China, she would like to stay here.
