From Dalian to Wuhan, from Bangladesh to Iraq, two professors who have journeyed across mountains and seas have found their own cities of belonging in China.

Mohammad Russel, associate professor at Dalian University of Technology, has been deeply involved in environmental research for many years. He has contributed to sewage treatment in the Bohai Bay. Rashed Ghamgeen Izat Rashed, associate professor at Wuhan University, has witnessed the historical changes of the River Town over time, and is also lighting up the nights in his homeland, Iraq, with photovoltaics.

In China, they have found a home, and through their actions, they continue to build bridges of friendship between China and the world.
