我与中国的美丽邂逅
[俄罗斯]颜溪遥?中国石油大学(华东)
如果查字典的话,“敬佩”这个词语有好几个解释,但总的来看,它们都表示值得尊重、让人心悦诚服。“敬佩”这个词语,正是我用来描述对中国各方面态度的词。
我的中文名字是颜溪遥,我来自俄罗斯,从2018年起我就一直在中国,我和大家分享的是我的小小的但充满了“不可思议”的来华留学故事。来到山东青岛后,这座地处黄海之滨的美丽城市,以其神奇的自然景观和丰富的历史给了我不可思议的感觉。崂山、中山公园、五四广场、栈桥等迷人的传统文化景点,不仅让我欣赏到了风景,同时也让我更好地了解了中国文化。
2019年,我有幸回到我心爱的城市——青岛,作为一名中国政府奖学金获得者,在中国石油大学(华东)读硕士研究生。曾经在中国生活的经历使我更容易适应新环境。在这两年的学习中,我像一棵早春的樱花一样绚丽绽放:在科学实验的宇宙中遨游,在文体和社会实践活动中感知中国,在专业学术研讨中开阔眼界。我在学术领域取得了很好的成绩,目前正在潜心科研,力求攻克世界性难题。在中国,人们在工作和生活间的和谐平衡、前瞻性的思维,加上中国在各个领域的巨大潜力,这种蓬勃发展的氛围无疑是令人振奋和鼓舞的。不可否认,俄罗斯教会了我如何努力工作,但中国教会了我如何明智地人尽其才、物尽其用,这么说一点也不为过。

但对我来说,在中国最“不可思议”的时刻是遇到了我一见钟情的人。看着我们这对恋人,很多人都会惊呼:“你们两个怎么可能在一起?你们来自完全不同的两个世界!”是的,我的另一半是一位中国人,他来自曲阜——中国文化的中心城市。我比他大三岁,一开始,他不会说英语,我也不会说汉语。我们第一次见面一个月后,我又不得不飞回俄罗斯……但是我们一起经历了所有挑战、克服了重重困难,比如了解彼此的家庭、语言障碍、思维差异,我们坚信我们的未来是光明的。六个月前,他向我求婚,当时我高兴坏了,今年我们将正式组建一个完美的家庭。

今年是中国“十四五”规划的开局之年,作为一名俄罗斯公民,我可以肯定地说,我比其他国家的学生更了解五年计划对一个伟大的社会主义国家的重要性。我亲爱的祖父是苏联共产党的一员,他向我讲述了他在苏联时期的许多活动。此外,在历史课上,所有俄罗斯学生都学习有关五年计划的材料及其在20世纪历史中取得的成果。

那么,我如何看待中国未来的五年?我真心希望在新的五年计划中,伟大的中国能够取得比过去更大的成就,我非常幸运能参与其中。我从小的梦想就是做一名不仅对自己、对身边的人有益的人,而且要做一名对整个社会有益的人。是的,我一直为我的梦想努力着,也许我的计划很难实现,但是我不会放弃。所以在这五年里,我希望我能在中国完成学业,拿到硕士和博士学位。
怎么样,我在中国的故事,是不是很“不可思议”?
我喜欢这里,将来我的家也在这里,这里是中国。
My Beautiful Encounter with China
[Russia] Traviankina Mariia, China University of Petroleum (East China)
“Admiration” has a couple of explanations in the dictionary, but in general, they all include the meaning of “respectable” and “convincing”. I think “admiration” is a perfect word to describe my feelings for China in all aspects.
I’m from Russia, and my Chinese name is Yan Xiyao. I’ve been living in China since 2018. I would like to share little “incredible” stories of mine about studying in China. Located on the coast of the Yellow Sea, Qingdao, a East China’s city in Shandong Province, has given me an incredible experience with its magical landscape and rich history. The charming cultural attractions such as Laoshan Mountain, Zhongshan Park, May Fourth Square, and Zhanqiao Pier not only allow me to appreciate the beautiful landscape, but also give me a better understanding of Chinese culture.
In 2019, I returned to my beloved city ,Qingdao, as a graduate student at China University of Petroleum (East China) after winning a Chinese government scholarship. The experience of living in China makes it easier for me to adapt to the new environment. During the two-year study, I lived like a cherry blossom in early spring, traveling in the universe of scientific experiments, perceiving Chinese culture in various activities, and broadening my horizons in academic seminars. I have made a significant achievement in the research field, and I am currently devoting myself to scientific research, hoping to help solve global problems. In China, people’s harmonious balance between work and life, their forward-looking thinking, and the huge potential in all sectors formed a vigorous development atmosphere in China, which is inspiring and encouraging. Undoubtedly, Russia taught me how to do my job well, while China taught me how to make the best use of my talents and give full play to things at hand. It’s not exaggerated to say so.
For me, the most “incredible” moment in China is the time when I met someone who I love at first sight. Many people would exclaim “It’s unbelievable to see you two together,” “You are from two completely different worlds.” Yes, my husband is a Chinese, he’s from Qufu of Shandong Province , a city at the core of Chinese culture, and I am three years elder than him. When we just met, he could not speak English and I could not speak Chinese. One month later, I had to fly back to Russia. But we had gone through all the challenges and overcome all the difficulties including family cultures, language barriers and mindsets, which made us confirm that we have a bright future with each other. Six months ago, he asked me to marry him, and I was thrilled and accepted. We will get married later this year.
This year is the first year of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan. As a Russian citizen, I can say with certainty that I understand the importance of the plan to a great socialist country better than students from other countries. My grandfather is a member of the Communist Party of the former Soviet Union, and he told me about his many activities in the Soviet period. In addition, in the history class, all Russian students study materials about Five-Year Plans and the achievements in the last century.
So, how do I view China in the next five years? I sincerely hope that in the new plan, China can achieve greater achievements. I am very lucky to be able to participate in it. My dream since I was a child is to be a person who is not only beneficial to myself and the people around me, but also a person who is beneficial to the whole society. Yes, I have been working hard for my dream. Maybe my plan is difficult to realize, but I will not give up. So in the next five years, I hope I can complete my studies in China and get a master’s degree and a doctorate degree.
These are my stories in China, are they incredible?
I like it here, and my home will be here in the future. This is China.
