How Epack’s Marwan Learned Chinese & Built His Future at Yiwu College
Marwan first arrived in Yiwu in 2014, right after finishing high school in Yemen. He enrolled at Yiwu Industrial & Commercial College as an overseas student.

To master the difficult language faster, he spent long hours reading bilingual books in the campus library, practicing reading and pinyin typing every day, and eventually developed fluent spoken and written Chinese.

In 2016, he earned the honor of “Yiwu’s Most Beautiful Fire Volunteer.” He also gained wide local recognition after taking part in the citywide cultural event “Wan Guo Yong E,” where he recited the classic ancient Chinese poem Ode to the Goose to share traditional Chinese culture with global audiences. Before long, he built a broad international social circle and began preparing for his future business career by exploring Yiwu International Trade City in his spare time.
