Su Da learned about FESTU from a professor at a Chinese university, with the internet search confirming that the Khabarovsk university is a reputed educational institution that conducts research and offers education in the field of railway engineering.

During his studies, the language barrier, which baffled him particularly when it came to subject terminology, was an important obstacle for him. But patience and hard work have borne fruit. Lev Danilovich – these are the name and patronymic Su Da chose at FESTU – graduated from the university, embarked on his PhD degree, and became a university teacher.

Studying at FESTU has greatly contributed to Lev Danilovich’s development as a person and top-notch specialist in his country. Now he is Director for Construction Project Marketing at the First Company of Chinese Construction Corporation. Not only knowledge but also high Russian language proficiency is valued–Lev Danilovich was invited many times as an interpreter in important negotiations.
