Gao has employed a number of Zambian girls most of them knew nothing about dentistry when they started she was teaching me from scratch because I had no idea about dentistry when faith joined the clinic in 1995 she was straight out of high school to come to mingi and also need people in thought you were a single G and in the moment y'all you need okay to miss you hello see how your horn I was only teaching hands in the Pingree either took a year's answer without your journey means little boy here he automated supporter after three years dr. gahl noticed something special in face and had a further thought she was happy that I grasped everything by clicking and then after the first three years that I worked here she I got very interested in the work here and she asked me if I wanted to go to school and study I said I would really love to do it so she facilitated me going to school and I got a diploma in dental therapy from that time on to train and support Zambia employees is not something dr. Gao feels obliged him but it's out of her own volition what we shall be a fountain and teaching were you language with his animal would you come come to the other tissue we all do I get to be you ha the clinic has attracted over 20 foreign doctors to work here such as Ashutosh from India dr. Gao is probably the oldest and the best surgeons still in Zambia and I wanted to I have done my Master's so she understood what I can do and she was very kind enough and generous enough to offer a job when I first came the doctors come from all over the world some from Yugoslavia Italy Zimbabwe Namibian China and Germany dr. gahl wants her clinic to the an open platform for everyone to try and learn from each other why dissipate in background they give you with her no beeping how we do it we took her sir CLT people know how to live Yoda your detention City police work well enough to pioneer dollar we are similar to what we talked when we go by water or the tinted yellow this open platform has helped young doctors to establish their own reputation first day when I came nobody knew me well dr. Gao had faith in me she employed me and she gave me a chance and today I see that a lot of people they come specially specially asking for me dr. gahl not only implanted hope in doctors such as Ashutosh but also to this man Yaroslav Coolidge an agriculturist from Slovakia one college met dr. Gao in Livingston Zambia in 1989 he was at the lowest point of his life my wife first why she died and I about two years I was alone and I can say I was so down it's my spirit and his everything that I was decided that maybe I can finish my life and I go to Livingston it was Easter holiday and and I saw some Chinese group and I saw some Chinese lady she was swimming with umbrella and this is which was very interesting for me the two got married in 1993 and together they planted numerous fruit trees and flowers in there courtyard shared by the clinic vo so here we had together they drove to countless African countries and brought back countless souvenirs Congo Congo plots heavier and twelve couple you talk come in Nigeria for nearly three decades Africa has given Galka man a blossoming life a joy and accomplishment doesn't seem to be any less than her predecessors who build the pizarra railway 40 years ago former president Kenneth Kaunda appreciated that Hazara workers just as he does to dr. Gao Steen today and he's not alone this party a dentist have been associated she's holding on some to Zambian ladies here when in 2002 I came up the other one was like just a hunt but by now I have seen her handle the other time I came she was the one cleaning up my teeth so I think she just learned something recently tens of thousands of Chinese have flooded to Zambia for some of them the Tazawa is a distant past Africa is a strange place where they need to compete to survive you give us a little tour in his mind in the trt Donna technical to uses honor so they're sending sodium wouldn't you Chile to my lineage shillelagh todo tipo gala destined to become until genre comments or cheated on tons of milk attacking can carry with a require the room you enjoy your life your new meal i bombs in high and Mela woman nagar not gonna be something in my hair okay dr. gal cannot forget what inspired her when she was young the stories about the railway built by the Chinese for Africa ample tort reform in the details so that we are sure that three quantities please do too much Thalia taeho gentle time city and Bianchi to a Buddhist temple ll eat here are using cheat here - nomicon - she's only hot durian dances on gonna mucuna - way that cigarette 92 was totally the crocodile but in theater for dr.

Came across this and I found it beautiful how this man acts and behaves. You can cleary tell that he truly loves their people, their culture and his family.

“I remember the time I arrived, the sky was so blue, the clouds so… it felt just like the wallpaper of Windows. And I thought…this place, I love it,” Frank recalled. His love for Africa further grew when he visited Cape Town, South Africa and the Okavango Delta in Botswana. “The trip had tremendous impact on me. After the trip, I wished to stay in Africa so I would have more chances to visit places like that, or even more beautiful than that,” he told. Frank quit his job and decided to stay in Africa. Together with his friends, they moved to Zambia and started a new life there. “Living in Africa is not like living in China where everything seems preplanned. There are young people, who like to break up the pattern. I belong to this small group of people. So when I arrived in Africa, I felt this is the place for me,” told Frank. He married a Zambian girl Lucy, and together they have three boys. He transferred all his assets from China to Zambia and started a clothing store together with his wife. Fifteen years on, the clothing business has grown. They now run a number of chain stores in Lusaka, where they have employed about two hundred Zambians. The intermarriages between the Chinese and Africans were at the time rare and without controversy from both sides. “Chinese men are not very open and accepting as other races are. It’s normal that they feel difficult to accept this. And I am prepared to cope with the prejudice,” he told. Today, Frank is thrilled to see his children enjoy the continent’s beauty and his feeling about Africa remain indescribable.

Adorable children damn.

I looked up Zambia, and there's a large population of Chinese And Indian people living there. Yeah, there's a lot of racial tension between Zambians and the Chinese.

So I looked up CGTN, and it's a Chinese media organization.

Just a heads up on what the bias is for this video.

Very positive and great people. They exist. Just so rare Let’s stay hopeful

One of my favorite videos.

His two sons are literally beaming, in a way that only the love from a good man and a good woman can provide.

The world is backwards. AMBF produces amazingly beautiful children while hateful racist white men can't even listen to their own childrens' problems.
