More than 400 students from Yunnan Province's Suijiang Vocational High School completed their social practice in Zhongshan and returned home by bus on October 17.

On July 16 this year, these students, who were about to enter their third year of high school, came to Zhongshan and started a three-month social practice at the Guangdong Changhong Ridian Technology Co Ltd and Pacific Industries (Zhongshan) Limited.

Lei Yuqing, 18, a student majoring in mechanical numerical control at Suijiang Vocational High School, was working as an intern at the toy manufacturer Pacific Industries (Zhongshan) Limited. Her job was to paint the mechanical parts of toys with oil.

Speaking of the social practice, Lei Yuqing happily said that she has saved enough for a semester's worth of living expenses. This can relive some of the financial burden on her parents. "Although the internship does not correspond to my major, I have learned a lot of knowledge outside my major; such as getting along with people, communicating, exchanging ideas, and respecting others."

Many students said that the social practice had developed their abilities of communication and exchange. More students were impressed by the beautiful environment and the spirit of love of Zhongshan. They all hoped to have a chance to work in Zhongshan in the future. (Southern Metropolis Daily)
