Mostafa Mohamed from Egypt is now a freshman at Zhejiang University of Technology.

Mohamed has spent his childhood in Jimingshan Community, Yiwu. Known locally as the "United Nations community", Jimingshan is a multinational, multicultural community.

Since the community is also near the Yiwu International Trade Market, one of the world's largest small commodity trade hubs and a key player in the global daily consumer goods trade, it is home to many business owners.

The 2,000-sqaure-meter community is now home to over 1,400 foreigners from 74 countries and regions, including Russia, Morocco, Columbia, and Pakistan. To help foreigners better integrate with local residents, the community organizes many recreational activities.
