5月27日，應韓國釜山國際交流財團邀請，重慶市人民對外友好協會組織重慶暨華中學12名學生赴韓國釜山開展了為期5天的友好交流訪問。

自2010年締結友好合作關系以來，釜山與重慶的交往日益密切，兩市的青少年交流也已形成機制，每年開展卓有成效的互訪。本次訪問在釜山國際交流財團的精心安排下，暨華中學的同學與釜山蓮一中學的同學結成對子，寄宿韓國家庭，走進韓國課堂，開展了生動而深入的文化探訪。

初次見面：克服語言障礙，釋放青春熱情

5月27日晚上7點，代表團抵達釜山。在釜山國際交流財團為同學們舉行的歡迎儀式上，暨華中學的12名同學與結對的韓方同學正式見面。同學們按照預先擺好的座牌走向早已在餐廳等候的韓國同伴，帶著友好而略帶羞澀的笑容，用簡單的英語互相打招呼。由于參加此次交流訪問的同學們大多來自初中低年級，英語水平在相互的交流中不免顯得有些捉襟見肘。但語言的障礙并沒有澆滅青春的熱情，同學們紛紛開動腦筋，或借助手機上的翻譯軟件，或使用肢體語言，你一言我一語地開始了交流，餐廳里彌漫著愉快而友好的氣氛。歡迎儀式結束后，同學們跟隨各自的伙伴到韓國家庭寄宿。

訪問學校：融入韓國課堂，展現少年風采

5月29日一早，同學們來到釜山蓮一中學。同釜山的大多數學校一樣，蓮一中學依山而建，雖占地面積不大，卻顯得精致而溫馨。進入校門，沿著平緩的上坡走向教學樓，一路纖塵不染，綠樹成蔭。穿著整齊校服的學生三三兩兩地走過，禮貌地向我們鞠躬打招呼。

校方為重慶代表團舉行了熱烈的歡迎儀式，并帶領大家參觀了學校。在參觀過程中，我們發現了一個有趣的現象：幾乎每一間教室的后墻黑板上，都貼著學生手繪的作品，而每一幅作品都是一棵樹的形狀，自下而上分為很多層，密密地寫著文字。校方介紹說，從入學開始，老師會讓學生提出他們的夢想，并引導他們為實現這個夢想提出每一個階段的努力方向，就像一棵大樹的成長，從樹根開始，一步步地抵達夢想的頂端。

上午10點，同學們跟隨各自的伙伴來到他們的課堂。經過一天多時間的相處，大家已經和韓國伙伴建立起了親密的友誼，初次見面時的羞澀不復存在，交流也變得更加順暢。來到蓮一中學的課堂，他們有的在英語課上積極地回答問題，有的在音樂課上和同學一起彈琴唱歌，還有同學在數學課堂測試中取得了100分的好成績。當天下午，我們的同學參加了在學校禮堂舉行的交流演出。蓮一中學表演了韓國傳統架子鼓，校樂隊演奏了《茉莉花》等中國經典曲目。在優美的伴奏聲中，暨華中學的同學們合唱了《明月幾時有》，博得陣陣喝彩；吳曼寧同學表演的太極拳更是將演出氣氛推向高潮。一天的訪問時間里，同學們融入了韓國課堂，感受到了韓國師生的友好與熱情，也展現了中國重慶青少年的風采。

探訪城市：認識友好關系，感受多面釜山

在釜山國際交流財團的帶領下，代表團來到釜山市政廳參觀。為了記錄與國際友好城市的交往，釜山市政廳專設了對外文化交流展廳。在展廳的中國館，玻璃櫥窗里精心陳列著2015年重慶為紀念與釜山建立友好合作城市關系5周年而贈送的禮品，墻上記錄著兩市友好交往的情況。同學們對兩市的友好關系表現出濃厚的興趣和熱情的支持。

訪問期間，同學們參觀了釜山多個著名景點，在釜山APEC會議舉辦場所感受這座城市的國際化，在韓國釜山電影節開幕式場館走上明星們曾經走過的紅毯，在著名的海云臺海灘感受海洋城市的魅力，在釜山水族館興味盎然的玩耍中增長知識。在釜山的時間里大家看到了這座城市的很多方面，體驗到了與我們自己的國家有共性，同時也有不一樣的文化。

5天的訪問很快過去，兩國青少年的感情卻迅速加深。初次見面時還略帶羞澀和拘謹的同學們，告別時卻滿懷深情和不舍。大家相互贈送紀念禮品，約定在社交網絡上保持聯系，期待著今年10月韓方同學訪問重慶時再見。青少年間的友誼真摯而純粹，愿這段友誼成為他們人生路上的美好篇章，也愿他們的友情為中韓民間友好的橋梁添磚加瓦。

On May 27, 2017, at the invitation of International Communication Consortium in Busan, Korea, Chongqing People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries organized twelve students from Chongqing Jihua Middle School to pay a fi ve-day visit to Busan for friendly exchanges.

Since the friendly cooperation was agreed between both sides, Chongqing has been in closer contact with Busan as exchanges between teenagers from both places have formed a mechanism and mutual visits with great achievement are conducted every year. In this visit with careful arrangement of Busan International Communication Consortium, students from Chongqing Jihua Middle School carried out a vivid and deep cultural visit by living in the local families of students from the Korean counterpart school—Busan Lianyi Middle School, and experiencing the Korean class.

The First Meeting: Overcome Language Barrier and Release Youthful Passion

At 7:00 p.m. of May 27, the delegation arrived in Busan. At the welcome ceremony by Busan International Communication Consortium, twelve students from Chongqing Jihua Middle School had a formal meeting with students from its Korean counterpart school. Students followed the pre-set table numbers to move forward to their awaiting Korean partners and greeted each other in simple English with a friendly and shy smile on the face. Due to the fact that most of students participating in this exchange and visit came from middle school, their English is not good enough for mutual exchanges. Despite of language barrier, their youthful passion was never been put out. Rather, they all took initiatives to think out some better ways for a smoother and heated communication like seeking help from translation APP on the mobile phone or using body language. Thus the restaurant was full of pleasant and friendly atmosphere. After the welcome ceremony, these twelve students followed their Korean partners to their families.

Pay a Visit to Korean School: Integrate into Korean Classroom and Show Young Mien

At the morning of May 29, students came to Busan Lianyi Middle School. Like most of the schools in Busan, Lianyi Middle School is built near the mountainwith less land occupation but looking exquisite and warm. Entering into campus, a beautiful picture greeted our eyes on the way to teaching buildings along the gentle ascent in which roads showed spotlessly clean and trees made a pleasant shade; students there dressed in neat uniforms walked by in twos and threes, bowing to greet us in a polite way.

Lianyi Middle School held a warm ceremony to welcome our Chongqing delegation and led them to visit campus. In looking around the campus, we found out an interesting scene: almost every classroom had hand-painted works by students attached upon the blackboard on the back-wall; every work was shaped into a tress with many ties from up to down on which words have been written in a thick way. The school authority introduced that from the first day entering school, teachers would encourage students to speak out their dreams, and then guide them to figure out how to move forward to their dreams in different stages just like a sampling grows up to a big tree—it starts its efforts from the root and moves to the top of dream step by step.

At 10:00 a.m., students followed their partners to the classrooms. After one-day contact with their partners, an intimate friendship has been cultivated between them, and by contrast, shyness in the first meeting disappeared and communications became smoother. In the classrooms of Lianyi Middle School, some of them actively answered the questions in the English class; some played piano and sang in the music class; besides, one of them had an excellent performance to obtain 100 scores in the math examination. In the afternoon, our students participated in the exchange performance held in the school auditorium in which Lianyi Middle School gave a performance of the Korean traditional drum set and the school band played Jasmine Flower and other Chinese classic repertoires; our students performed the chorus of when did the moon start shining in the graceful accompaniment, winning thunderous cheers and applause; the performance of Taijiquan by Wu Manning pushed this show to an exciting climax. During one-day visit, students integrated into the Korean classroom and felt the friendship and enthusiasm of Korean teachers and students, showing the mien of Chongqing teenagers.

Have an Exploration to Busan: Understand Friendship and Experience the Multifaceted Busan

Under the leadership of Busan International Communication Consortium, the delegation came to visit Busan City Hall. To record exchanges with international friendly cities, Busan City Hall specially set up an exhibition hall for foreign cultural exchanges. At the China pavilion in this exhibition hall, the glass window displayed the gift presented by Chongqing in 2015 to Busan for the purpose of commemorating the 5th anniversary of friendly cooperation between Chongqing and Busan, and the wall recorded the history of their friendly exchanges. Besides, students showed great interest and warm supports to friendly relation between Chongqing and Busan.

During this visit, students visited many famous scenic spots in Busan: they experienced Busan’s internationalization in the venue of APEC; they walked on the red carpet just like the celebrities did in the opening ceremony of Busan Film Festival in Korea; they felt the charm of marine city in the famous Haeundae Beach; they gained knowledge in the fun of the Busan Aquarium with genuine interest. In the travel to Busan, students saw various aspects of Busan and experienced its culture which is still different from our country despite something in common.

Time flies as the five-day visit came to an end, teenagers from both sides developed a deeper friendship. Students who were shy and restrained in the first meeting were full of affection when they had to say goodbye. They presented gifts to each other and promised to keep contact on social networks with an expectation to re-meet each other in the October of this year when the Korean students came to visit Chongqing. As friendship among teenagers is genuine and pure, we hope this cherished friendship will become a wonderful chapter in their life and make better contribution to the civil friendship bridge connecting China and Korea. .
