According to Liu, the school's educational content and exam system is the same as that of public primary schools in Zambia.

"The school offers courses in Chinese, mathematics, literacy, social sciences, English, reading, art and natural sciences," Liu said.

And at the same time, it helps students to develop in an all-around way by actively organizing sports events, movie days and other activities.

About 400 students have graduated from the school.

Looking ahead, Chenguang group plans to create more than 30,000 jobs as it expands its operations in Zambia, which boasts abundant land and rich natural resources such as water, light and heat.

The company plans to build extraction plants for producing paprika oleoresin pigment and lutein, as well as an agricultural product processing factory.

It also plans to further expand its plantation for chiles and marigolds to 13,333 hectares of land for each crop.

Its products are exported to Europe, the United States, Australia, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other countries in Africa.

"In the process of development, our company has actively fulfilled its social responsibilities and has established a good overseas image of Chinese enterprises," Liu said, adding that besides establishing the primary school, it has also developed a Chenguang town that consists of churches, hospitals and supermarkets.
