The 14th "Challenge Cup" Qin Chuangyuan China University Students' Entrepreneurship Plan Competition in Xi'an was a prestigious event, where my team and I, led by Prof Kang Liujiang from the School of system science, represented Beijing Jiaotong University. I'm Ebrima Sanyang, a Gambian by origin, a master's student from School of Traffic and Transportation, and part of the team that won the university's first Gold Prize in this competition. We dedicated ourselves to extensive training, project design meetings, and numerous presentations to ensure our proposal was exceptional. Competing against teams from various Chinese universities, our victory was a moment of pride for our professors and the Center for International Education (CIE).

The team where Rahman (Bangladesh) of the School of Traffic and Transportation was located won the Silver Award.

I lived in China for 5 years, and last October 30 was an unforgettable day during my time studying at Beijing Jiaotong University.

The "Challenge Cup" is a large science and technology competition for Chinese college students. About two months ago, we conducted a lot of practices and meetings for this "Belt and Road" International Invitational Competition. 

I will represent BJTU in the competition and I am extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in this competition. As I have been capable of expressing myself proficiently, I introduced several highly feasible entrepreneurial plans. These will materialize in the future. I am convinced that I will perform even better in the future.

I would like to tell my fellow schoolmates that "What do you want? Do it from now on."

Previously, under the leadership of the Youth League Committee in BJTU, teachers and students at CIE provided assistance to outstanding international students by organizing expert guidance sessions and mock defense sessions, helping them showcase the charm of BJTU in the field of science and technology and promoting the integration and exchange of Chinese and foreign cultures.
