Video Production: Xu Hongrui, Ye Lin, Li Xinying

At Chongqing Polytechnic University of Engineering, TOPKO OLESIA, a foreign teacher from Russia, has turned a foreign land into her home over the past three years. Having initially struggled to adapt to the sweltering climate of Mountain-City Chongqing, she was deeply touched by the kindness and hospitality of local residents. She has not only adapted to life in this city but also integrated this warmth into her teaching.

Drawing on the platform of the Sino-Russian Institute of Intelligent Manufacturing, she is committed to cultivating bilingual, internationally oriented high-skilled professionals. She often encourages her students: "Every Russian word you learn is a bridge." Through her story, OLESIA embodies the sense of mission of an educator transcending national boundaries.
