In years past, the Chinese department at Ankara University-originally established in 1935 to research references to ancient Turkish history in Chinese historical records-would only have four or five students. Now, due to rising demand, it accepts 35 students per year. In 1998, my husband set up a Chinese language and literature department at another university, which now takes 20 students per year.
一九三五年為研究中國史料中的土耳其古史而成立的安卡拉大學漢學系，從當初只收四、五名學生，到今天為因應需求每年招收三十五名學生，一九九八年，由外子籌劃在第二所大學開設中國文學語言系，每年招收二十名學生。
