8-year search helps Cameroonian put missing pieces together
China DailyPROVIDED TO CHINA DAILY Editor's note: China Daily presents the series Friends Afar to tell the stories of people-to-people exchanges between China and other countries. When Joseph Olivier Mendo'o came to China aged 23, he had a burning desire to uncover the secrets behind the country's economic and social transformation over the past 40 years. "Back then we only knew about China mainly through Western media, which is often depicted negatively and as though it's backward," he recalled. "I told him I wanted to understand Chinese culture and promote China-Cameroon relations, and he suggested I study at Peking University," Mendo'o says. "Chinese business is very solid, and more and more of the country's companies are setting up a presence in Africa, which brings business and technological know-how to the continent and creates jobs."
