What's the most memorable experience you've had in China, or related to China? Unforgettable experiences in China are manyIt also extends to boosting Sino-South Korean economic ties and helping the province's poverty-stricken areas

Cho's reputation is not limited to education, howeverWhen we were living in a community about 10 kilometers away, we could seldom see the hill from the window

What's the biggest challenge China faces, and how do you think the country should go about overcoming it? The biggest challenge could come from the changesThe improvement of the people's confidence itself is one of the biggest achievementsIn 2010, she was listed as one of the most influential women of the century in HefeiEditor's Note: The Communist Party of China will hold its 19th National Congress on Oct 18More policies should also be made to attract more foreign talent to work in ChinaIt was unforgettable because my family watched the relay in South Korea in 1988 but didn't get the chance to participate

"Now I often accompany Hefei officials to South Korea for business recruitment and students for educational exchanges," Cho said"Nowadays, flights connecting Hefei with Incheon in South Korea are available five days a week, and the situation is improving

Dozens of universities are located here, including the University of Science and Technology of China, one of the country's best," she saidBefore they became major officials, dozens of years should have passed and they should have collected enough experience to tackle seemingly tough problems

In 1998, when she was back in her hometown, Cho delivered a three-hour speech to 82 heads of primary schools, trying to persuade them to offer Chinese coursesA teacher of Korean at Hefei University in Anhui province, Cho has helped to boost the two countries' ties in multiple aspects - not just in education

The couple found employment quickly at Hefei University and began teaching Korean the next yearcn  Cho Sung-hye talks with her students at Hefei University in Anhui provinceThe latest example was a 2016 donation of 20,000 yuan ($3,000) to four high school graduates in Hefei's Feidong county who had been enrolled at universities but were about to give up for lack of moneyWhat is your impression of President Xi Jinping?

After finishing middle school and high school studies in the city, Cho's elder son was admitted to Peking University for undergraduate studies, and then returned to Hefei later for his MBA at the University of Science and Technology of ChinaShe has played a prominent role in education, business development and friendship

After about a year in Hefei, Park took a job in the United States and tried to persuade Cho to give up HefeiWhat three words would you use to describe China today? Revitalizing, changing, confident

In 2000, with Cho's help, the Banyang Elementary School - in which she had studied - began teaching Chinese"I told him that we had just started here and we should at least spend five years in the city before judging whether we should move to another place," Cho said

"There were even South Korean businessmen who intended to invest in Hefei but decided to invest in Shanghai and Nanjing instead, as they found the two cities to be more developed," she addedChina is a big country, so officials have to collaborate with each other wellI don't believe the Western countries' political practices could work in China, though many of them are considered successful by the Westerners themselvesFirst, China is playing an increasingly important role in the world, so some neighboring countries, and especially some developed Western countries may regard China as a challenger to the power they have maintained for many years

She has helped more than 3,000 students from Anhui to study in her country, and more than 1,000 were given job opportunities thereOne of the results is that the Chinese people are more confident than ever about their country's development

It's hard to make long-term predictions, but I hope China can keep its own development pace and have its own development patternsI believe that in the coming five years, the gap between coastal and inland regions will be narrowed

Opening up to the world has brought dramatic changes to the coastal regions, which have been more developed that the inland areasCho's brothers and sisters also brought their children to Hefei
