“我很喜歡中文,通過這幾個月對中文的專業學習,也越來越愛上中國文化。”22歲的羅娜來自塔吉克斯坦,目前是杭州師范大學中文專業大一學生,她直言,“杭州、浙江非常美麗,等我畢業后,想回國當一個中文老師,把這里學到的東西講給更多人。”
不久前,浙江省外國留學生“夢行浙江”系列活動在杭州舉行,分為演講比賽、外國留學生中華才藝展演以及優秀外國留學生良渚古遺址參觀三大部分。來自80多個國家的千余名外國留學生參加了各項活動。
展演中華才藝
在中國計量大學嘉量大會堂,浙江大學、浙江工業大學、寧波大學、中國計量大學、浙江中醫藥大學、杭州師范大學、杭州電子科技大學、浙江工商大學、浙江理工大學、浙江科技學院、浙江農林大學、溫州醫科大學、浙江越秀外國語學院等13所高校的200余名留學生,進行了中華才藝展演。
水鼓舞旗、戲曲聯唱、配樂朗誦、服裝表演、武術、獨唱……多才多藝的留學生們輪番上臺,為在場觀眾獻上了一出“超級洋氣”的視覺盛宴。
“中華美食真的超級好吃,我在浙江大學讀書才幾個月,已經肥了一圈。”翁啟汶來自馬來西亞,是浙江大學化學工程工藝的大一生,他說,自己算是第四代華裔,“語言方面完全沒有問題,我對中國很有親切感,在這里就像在自己家一樣。中國古老又先進,我為文化折服,為科技點贊。”
“很高興,能夠在這里學習專業的中國功夫,我希望能在故鄉辦一所武術學校,把中國功夫傳承下去。”陳洪旭是來自浙江工商大學的一名印度尼西亞留學生,他與同學們一起表演的《中國功夫》,贏得如潮的掌聲與好評。
留學生中,不少還是青年創業者,塔吉克斯坦小伙孟軻是其中的明星學生。在中華才藝展演現場,通過視頻,孟軻分享了自己的故事。關于為何來到中國,孟軻說,小時候父親每年有兩三個月的時間不在家,問起母親才知道父親去中國進貨了。從那時起,他對中國產生了強烈的好奇。
現在,已在中國待了七個年頭的孟軻,正攻讀碩士學位。除了學生的身份,他還創辦了自己的電子商務公司。談及創業初衷,孟軻說:“杭州已經有阿里巴巴,所以我想讓家鄉的外貿商人也擁有他們的‘阿里巴巴,讓外貿依托互聯網節省成本、提高效率。”
鐘情中華詩詞
來自35所高校的80余名外國留學生,從本校的預賽中脫穎而出,被學校推薦參加全省的演講比賽。
經過預賽和決賽,決出2名一等獎、4名二等獎、6名三等獎和6名優秀獎。
來自喀麥隆的黑人小伙子李黑獲得了一等獎。這位溫州醫科大學留學生十分熱愛中華詩詞,通過讀古詩,他漸漸地讀懂了中國。
“李白舉杯邀明月,李黑把酒詩兩篇。”每當有人和李黑聊中華文化,他總會起身吟詩作對,有時還會作舉杯狀,或將手置于背后,拿一把折扇,抬起頭仰望明月,一副唐宋文人范兒。
說起在中國留學的最大感受,李黑引用了唐代詩人王勃的詩句:“海內存知己,天涯若比鄰。”
他說,在中國學習期間,他被中國朋友們的熱情所感染,體會到新時代中國的開放包容。2012年,李黑初來中國,在溫州醫科大學臨床醫學專業讀本科,和中國學生一起上課,“同學們熱情地幫助我學習,讓我很快融入到這個溫暖的大家庭里。”
和所有來華留學生一樣,李黑在中國學習期間,目睹了身邊發生的大大小小的變化。他看到了人民生活水平的快速提高,親身經歷了令人驚訝的“中國速度”,李黑說:“我知道,當今中國的發展,是每一位中國人艱苦奮斗所取得的成績。”
李黑饒有興致地念起他寫的一首打油詩:“出門坐高鐵,當天能來回;購物支付寶,方便掃一掃;最近一公里,單車可共享;聊天交朋友,微信真方便!”
現在的李黑中文說得挺溜,但他剛開始學中文時也很痛苦。上課時,他要非常專心地聽講,抓住老師說的每個字,并且要努力理解它們的意思、用法。下課后,他背課文,每天抄寫課文5遍,認識漢字。在漢語學習過程中,李黑漸漸讀懂了中國,也漸漸愛上了中國。他說:“這一切就像唐代杜甫詩里寫的那樣:遲日江山麗,春風花草香。”
“滴水之恩,當涌泉相報。”學習期間,李黑參加暑期社會實踐、愛心義診、義務支教,去幫助當地的村民量血糖、測血壓、按摩、艾灸,還給一個村子的村支書當過助理。目前李黑在溫州醫科大學附屬眼視光醫院、浙江省眼科醫院讀研究生。李黑說,能夠在這樣一片熱土上求學,是他今生最大的驕傲。
