Recognizing best foreign talent

Davlatbekova Madina, a 33-year old woman from Tajikistan, has brought her five-year old daughter to Beijing to witness her receiving an award as one of China Communications Construction Company Ltd's best overseas employees.

"Children have very sharp ears," said Madina, in fluent Chinese.

"She can already tell the difference between Russian and Tajikistan dialects, and Mandarin."
