Top prize winners of 102 foreign college students attending a Chinese language contest in northeast China will win full scholarships to study in China and all of them have the opportunity to be a volunteer for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, according to organizers.
The 102 students, from 52 countries worldwide, began on Saturday the 6th Chinese Proficiency Competition for Foreign College Students", held in Changchun, capital of Jilin Province.
"I am looking forward to becoming a volunteer for Beijing Olympics, so as to help our Polish athletes," said Jolanta Gomolka, a student from Poland at the three-day contest.
Gomolka, a student from Pozana University of Poland, speaks Chinese fluently when talking with Chinese organizers of the three-day event.
She said her father, who also likes Chinese culture very much, gave her a poetical Chinese name, "Yuan Yueying". The name originates from a famous Chinese poem which says the moon has its wax and wane.
