She noticed a group of students, including few from the northeast who greeted her Ni Hao (How are you?).<br /> <br /> Mistaking the Northeast students as Chinese, she stopped and asked one of them, Ni shì zhongguó rén” (Are you Chinese?). “Bu. Woh shi Indu ren. (No, I am an Indian),” Albert Ginsangmuam K (12), a class VII student, responded confidently.<br /> <br /> Hailing from Manipur, Albert, wearing a kurta, said he was nervous about the first interaction with Peng and he had not expected her to speak to him.<br /> <br /> “I know a bit of Chinese, but I was a bit nervous. What if I made a mistake? What would have the school said?” Albert, along with many of his classmates, has taken up Chinese language course.<br /> <br /> Source: The Shillong Times
