Meet Sobirov Mustakim 🧑🎓, a Tajik graduate student at Zhejiang Sci-Tech University who’s blending ancient tea rituals with modern entrepreneurship. Over the past 10 years, he’s swapped Tajikistan’s mountains for West Lake’s serenity, mastering Chinese poetry and brewing dreams alongside oolong leaves.
But Mustakim isn’t just steeping tea leaves—he’s brewing business plans too. Using his university’s startup incubator 🚀, he launched a cross-border trade platform connecting Belt and Road Initiative markets. 🌐 \"China taught me that tradition fuels innovation,\" he says, describing how tea ceremonies inspire his networking strategies.
From reciting Li Bai’s verses between economics lectures to negotiating deals over matcha, Mustakim embodies cultural exchange. Now planning another decade in China, he vows: \"My next chapter starts where silk roads meet cloud technology.\" 📈
