STORYLINE:
 
In 2007, Khalil Ahmad Hijrat left his war-torn motherland of Afghanistan and began his undergraduate and postgraduate studies at China's Nanjing Medical University and Southeast University, successively.
 
Hijrat is now still a Ph.D. student at Southeast University, though the epidemic postponed his study.
 
Currently, he serves as the health director of the Afghan Red Crescent Society, the country's major charity.
 
SOUNDBITE 1 (English): KHALIL AHMAD HIJRAT, Health director, Afghan Red Crescent Society
"The Health Directorate of the Afghan Red Crescent Society has around 225 health facilities. We have 36 routine immunization teams working for polio eradication. We have 65 emergency mobile health teams working in Afghanistan in case we have a disaster. So for the management of the disaster in the health field, we work there."
 
Once working as a resident doctor at the Zhongda Hospital of Southeast University, Hijrat highly commended the high-end technology and quality medical education in Chinese hospitals and medical schools.
 
Currently, his department is responsible for eight medical projects, the most important of which is saving children with congenital heart diseases.
 
SOUNDBITE 2 (English): KHALIL AHMAD HIJRAT, Health director, Afghan Red Crescent Society
"Until now, we have registered around 26,000 patients, and around 13,000 patients have been operated (for heart surgeries) inside and outside the country."
 
Hijrat said that he had yet to decide when to return to China to continue his study because he was working around the clock in Afghanistan, and crowds were waiting for assistance and aid from many willing to devote themselves to nation rebuilding like him.
 
For decades, and especially since the pull-out of the U.S. army in August 2021, numerous batches of Afghan students traveled to neighboring China for higher education.
