Project narrative

On July 29, 2015, the "Ambassador Book Corner" awarding event organized by the Cultural Office of the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia was held in the embassy. People from Phnom Penh Royal University, Asia-Europe University of Cambodia, Duanhua School, Minsheng School, and Liqun School participated in the activity. These schools include well-known universities in Cambodia and Chinese schools that are dedicated to the inheritance of Chinese and Chinese culture. According to Bu Jianguo, the Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia, the Chinese Embassy had begun planning to establish an "Ambassador Book Corner" in 5 schools in Cambodia since April this year, hoping to provide students with a window to learn about China and a platform for applying what they have learned. The Chinese Embassy in Cambodia allocated a special fund of 400,000 RMB to entrust the "Chinese Culture House" to purchase natural sciences, human geography, There are about 12,000 outstanding Chinese books in various categories such as world history, military sports, and practical techniques for planting and breeding.
