Celebrities who have studied overseas, like violinist Lu Siqingand the president of the Microsoft institute in Asia, Zhang Yaqin,are expected to appear in the series, said Pan Chao, director of the youth department of the CCTV juvenile center.

The 300-minute TV series is a joint project between CCTV and Canada China News, according to Pan.

"I'm glad to be part of the series, because it will honestly reflect the life of Chinese overseas students and remind me of my time of overseas study," said Lu Siqing.

Lu said he believes that people who have completed their overseas studies, are currently studying overseas or are hoping togo abroad to study, will be interested in the series.

"The documentary will be especially helpful to the third group as it will help them to see what their future life abroad will be like." said Lu.

Statistics show that China has sent 380,000 students to about 103 countries throughout the world to study since 1978.

CCTV is collecting material for the series on its webite (www.cctv.com).

"Life of Chinese Students Abroad" is expected to be shown on CCTV channel one in May 2003, added Pan.

CCTV, China's largest TV station, has 700 million viewers, making up the world's largest TV audience.
