海外學子相約美麗芝堰

王寅鋒

2016年8月10日至8月23日，來自德國、印度、法國等14個國家的45位海外名校學子走進了蘭溪芝堰村。14天時間，說長不長，說短也不短。他們在那里經歷了很多讓人難以忘懷的事情，有溫馨的、有趣的，也有讓人興奮的。

丟失的行李箱被金華人找回

10日晚上，海外學子乘坐大巴抵達芝堰，法國姑娘克萊門斯說，她的行李箱不見了，里面有隨身衣物，還有送給主人的禮物。

隨行工作人員和志愿者找遍了大巴車，都沒有看到。

接下來的三四天中，因為沒有換洗衣物，克萊門斯的生活很不方便。好在還有住家阿姨和熱心的志愿者幫忙，克萊門斯心里覺得暖暖的。

每天，住家阿姨吳金花都會提醒克萊門斯把當天的衣服洗好，確保第二天有衣服穿。志愿者們也熱心地把自己的防曬霜、化妝品送給克萊門斯用。吳金花還帶著克萊門斯去了黃店鎮，專門買新衣服給她換洗。“太熱心了，感覺就跟自己家人一樣。”克萊門斯說。

另一邊，金華市外僑辦、蘭溪市外僑辦、黃店鎮政府的工作人員也一直與上海機場和法國方面聯系，希望能盡快找回克萊門斯的行李箱。

很快，好消息傳來了，箱子在法國機場找到了。“可能是地址填錯了，克萊門斯的箱子一直留在法國沒有寄出，到了上海機場后又沒有留意。”志愿者說，取得聯系后，箱子順利抵達芝堰。

古道“快閃”：婺劇表演和旗袍秀

8月12日，開幕式結束，海外學子們陸續通過嚴婺古道返回孝思堂，路上有人唱起芝堰村村歌《回家的路》。

小巷中，音樂漸漸響起，一大波夾道歡迎的村民紛紛拿出手機，爭相同海外學子合影。歌聲、歡笑聲充滿整條古道。

在孝思堂門口，蘭溪的阿姨們穿著傳統的民間節日服裝，端著特意為海外學子準備的典型鄉土點心水米糕。

“Delicious（好吃）！”學子們紛紛點贊。

蘭溪市文化館館長方芳說，這是極具蘭溪特色的一次快閃活動，“結合蘭溪和芝堰的文化特色，以古驛道為舞臺，融合婺劇、旗袍秀，并結合情景演繹，體現芝堰人民的好客和淳樸！”

在孝思堂內，蘭溪書法家朱根福為海外學子們準備了一件純正的中國藝術品：書法《歡迎回家，Welcome to home！》。

8月14日下午，海外學子們集合于孝思堂，跟著婺劇表演藝術家張建敏走進多姿多彩的婺劇世界。張建敏介紹了婺劇的發展和起源，并作現場表演，教授用婺劇的方式打招呼，讓海外學子們真切感受到了婺劇的特殊魅力。

水米糕讓海外學子大開眼界

說起芝堰，不能不提芝堰特產水米糕。出了芝堰，會做水米糕的人不多。8月13日下午，海外學子們跟著村民學做水米糕。

潔白、柔軟、晶瑩、細潤的水米糕讓海外學子們大開眼界。

水米糕的制作并不復雜，將大米浸泡兩三天后稍稍加工，再按一定比例放入酵母、白糖待其發酵，上籠蒸熟即可。

海外學子們問東問西，想搞懂制作水米糕的每一個細節。

來自印度的古麗，是個美食愛好者。她說回家后，準備做水米糕給家人吃。

“這個水米糕我喜歡，有點甜味，味道也很細膩。”法國學子克萊門斯說，聞起來像法國面包。

以色列小伙埃雷澤也是第一次看到米能做成這個樣子，對制作芝堰水米糕的阿姨們由衷佩服，“我知道這是芝堰才有的特產，在其他地方看不到，整個制作過程太新奇了。”埃雷澤說，他的愿望就是走遍全球，欣賞那些在自己國家看不到的東西，這次真是大開眼界。

鄉村過生日帶來意外驚喜

按照海外名校學子走進芝堰活動方案，8月17日的芝堰將有一場神秘活動，是什么呢？

夜幕降臨，大家齊聚承顯堂。外籍顧問馬小龍走到臺前，向海外學子們宣布了一項明日日程：一早，將就近開展登山運動，請大家知悉時間和地點。“今天就到這，再見。”太簡單了吧？大家正在疑惑，堂內燈光全滅，現場出現了一片尖叫。

幾秒鐘后，愉快的《生日歌》響起，一個大蛋糕由工作人員推了出來。這時，所有的人都唱起了那首全世界通行的歌曲。

原來，來自印度的尤吉斯、迪維雅和來自德國的馬丁，生日分別在8月15日、17日和20日。這是主辦方專門為他們安排的集體生日。

蛋糕送出之后，緊接著，芝堰村村民又送上特地準備的中國特色的長壽面——幸福快樂，長命百歲。

此外，“壽星”們還收到了蘭溪特有的生日禮物：一把簡易孔明鎖和一個紅包。隨后，在現場所有人的祝福下，他們低著頭吹滅了蠟燭，將蛋糕一塊一塊切好，與眾人分享。

做大餐感謝中國爸媽

雞肉、洋蔥、土豆、西紅柿、胡蘿卜、檸檬……8月21日中午，印度學子理查德拎著滿滿一袋食材回到住“家”，臉上寫滿了興奮。

“今天，我要為中國的爸爸媽媽燒一頓印度大餐。”這個想法，理查德心里早就有了，“每天看著媽媽在廚房里忙前忙后給我們燒飯，太辛苦了”。一大早，在志愿者徐琛的陪同下，他倆去了蘭溪超市購買食材。但具體要做什么，理查德不肯透露一個字。

來到芝堰后，理查德好奇的是，中國人做飯太快了，因為在印度，一餐十幾人的大餐，至少要花費三四個小時。所以，理查德早早走進廚房忙開了。

切洋蔥，搗蒜泥……在志愿者的協助下，食材慢慢切配好，呈現在案桌上。一旁圍觀的叔叔阿姨和志愿者們急壞了：這是干嘛的？那是干嘛的？可理查德卻總是一副神秘的樣子：“做好就知道了。”

印度大餐的做法讓大家瞠目結舌。米飯里加了鹽、桂皮和茴香，洋蔥是用來油炸的，還用廢舊報紙吸油，這難道不是黑暗料理么？

半個下午過后，大家總算松了一口氣：“原來理查德是大廚啊。”大家稱贊說。

香噴噴的印度美食露出了真相，是雞肉米飯、秋葵馬沙拉、雞肉馬沙拉，還有甜辣雞。“在印度，我們只在過圣誕節的時候才會吃這個。我覺得，在芝堰的日子，每天都像過圣誕節一樣。謝謝中國爸爸媽媽。”理查德說。

International Students Sample Rural Life in Zhiyan

By Wang Yinfeng

Forty-five international students spent 14 days from August 10 through 23， 2016 in Zhiyan， a village in Lanxin in central Zhejiang. They came from prestigious colleges in Germany， India， France， etc. There were many unforgettable moments in their experience.

Lost and Found

The bus sailed into Zhiyan Village and the French woman Clemence Bernot found her suitcase missing. That meant her cloths and gifts for her home-stay hosts were no more. The bus was searched and the suitcase was nowhere to be seen. Wu Jinhua， her hostess， took the troubled French woman under her wing immediately. In the following three to four days， Wu helped Clemence do her laundry in the evening so that she could get dry and clean cloths the next morning. The volunteers who worked for the international exchange program gave Clemence cosmetics. And the hostess also took the French girl to Huangdian Town to buy cloths. On the other hand， the local government got into action immediately. They contacted Shanghai Airport. Pretty soon， they received feedback. The suitcase had stayed in Paris and the airport in Shanghai wasnt informed of the lost suitcase in time. Fortunately the suitcase came all the way from France to Shanghai to Zhiyan pretty soon.

Flashmob Welcome

After the opening ceremony on August 12， the international students followed an ancient road through the village. Nobody knew when and how， but someone began to sing “Road to Home”， a village song of Zhiyan. And then amid the singing， villagers suddenly appeared out of the houses into the narrow road. They flashed out their cellphones and took photos with the international students. People laughed.

At the gate of Xiaosi Hall， the center of the village， the international students were greeted by a group of village women and were presented snack food and fruit. Inside the hall， Zhu Genfu， a local calligrapher， displayed a calligraphic work： Welcome Home in both Chinese and English.

On the afternoon of August 13， the students tried their hands at making the rice cake， a village delicacy. The cake isnt complicated to make and the students asked questions and figured all the details out. Guli， an Indian girl， was a gourmet and learned how to prepare the cake. She said she was going to make this delicacy back home in India.

On the afternoon of August 14， the international students gathered at Xiaosi Hall again to enjoy a lecture on Wuju Opera， a local operatic genre. Wuju Opera artist Zhang Jianmin talked about the origin and evolution of the opera and demonstrated the ancient art.

Birthday Party

On the afternoon of August 17， a birthday party was held at Chengxian Hall， another ancient building in the village， for Yujis and Deveya of India and Martin of Germany. Their birthdays fall on 15th， 17th and 20th of August and the party was thrown for them. After the Happy Birthday song， the trio each received a set of traditional gifts of the village： a traditional Kongming lock and a cash envelope. And then a huge cake was shared.

Thank-You Dinner

Richard Rangel prepared a big dinner for the host and hostess of the house where he was staying. He called them China Dad and China Mom. China Mom had prepared meals for him and he wanted to treat them to an Indian dinner. Early in the morning， Richard Rangel did shopping in a supermarket in Lanxi， with the assistance of a local volunteer. He bought food ingredients and came back. When he put all the ingredients on the table， the host and hostess and neighbors were curious. They wondered how these ingredients would become a dinner. It was in the afternoon that the Indian delicacies looked real and delicious. The food he prepared is meant for Christmas in India. That day， he wanted to express his gratitude to his China Mom and China Dad with the big dinner.
