Once wary, student now keen on elderly nursing career

Wu Mengxian, 20, has set a clearer path for her future career after winning a gold medal at the Statelevel skills contest.

In May, China held its second national rural vitalization skills competition in Guiyang, Guizhou province. It featured 11 events focused on useful and practical skills, including bricklaying, farm machinery maintenance and e-commerce, with more than 700 competitors from across the country vying for victory.

Each event had separate group competitions for experienced workers and students. Wu won gold in the elderly nursing event in the students competition.
