Cho askedIn 2002, she became the first person from her country to receive China's Friendship Award, the highest honor given to foreigners by the central government

Cho's reputation is not limited to education, howeverBefore they became major officials, dozens of years should have passed and they should have collected enough experience to tackle seemingly tough problems

In the runup to the meeting, China Daily asked a prominent South Korean teacher to talk about her experiences in promoting educational improvements, business cooperation and people-to-people understanding in her native country and her adopted homeIt was unforgettable because my family watched the relay in South Korea in 1988 but didn't get the chance to participate
