Zhang Qiang has made countless friends over the 20-some years working in different ethnic minority areas and promoting bilingual education.
One of them, a Uygur, told Zhang that he would never have had the opportunity to explore the world outside his small village if he had not learned Mandarin.
"This is why we promote learning Mandarin among ethnic minority people," Zhang, now deputy director of the ethnic education department at the Ministry of Education, told China Daily.
