Fourteen-year-old
Thuch Salik became an overnight star last year, after a video of him selling
souvenirs at Angkor Archaeological Park in multiple languages and dialects went
popular online.
At the time of the
video being filmed, Thuch lived with his parents and two brothers close to the
park. His parents had relocated the family from the city of Battambang to Siem
Reap to work in the tourist trade, but got into great debts during the move.
Thuch was always a
bright boy and often begged his mother to allow him to study foreign languages,
but she had no money to provide lessons for him. Yet this didn't fail the determined
teenager.
"I learned from
tourists. When they say something, I listen. One day, two days, three days, I
listened," said Thuch. "I remember, and I say like the tourists."
Since the video was
posted, Thuch and his family have received donations and offers of help from
around the world.
Initially, Thuch went
with his mother and younger brother to Phnom Penh and was sent to BELTEI
International School by a Cambodian businessman. This month, however, Thuch
Salik flew to China to begin his study at Hailiang Foreign Language School in
Zhejiang Province, China.
Zhejiang Hailiang
Charity Foundation will fully cover Thuch's expenses until he finishes
university, or even doctoral study, according to a statement from the Hailaing
Education Group.
The group revealed
that a major factor in giving Thuch this chance to realize his dreams is due to
their newly-launched "One Belt One Road" International Talent
Study-in-China Philanthropic Program. As a part of this program, Hailiang will
offer scholarships to talented youths in BRI countries from poor backgrounds.
