用雙腳丈量可愛的中國

我來自印度，現在是一名在南方醫科大學攻讀人體解剖與組織胚胎學博士學位的留學生。在這個炎炎夏日，我與同學、朋友們前往廣東北部的韶關仁化縣，進行了一場精彩的暑假之旅。這次旅行不僅是一次難得的探索中國大好河山的寶貴機會，更讓我們得以親身感受生態理念在中國大地上的生動演繹，體驗到鄉村振興給這片曾經貧窮閉塞的土地所帶來的翻天覆地的變化。

旅程中，我被丹霞山征服了。這座被譽為“中國紅石公園”的丹霞山，以其獨特的地貌和豐富的生態多樣性聞名遐邇，其赤壁丹崖，猶如大地的血脈，流淌著億萬年的歷史與滄桑。

當我和小伙伴們站在丹霞山的標志性景點——紫玉臺之上，眼前的景象令人驚嘆。四周的紅巖峭壁層層疊疊，宛如大自然精心雕琢的藝術品，每一寸都散發著歲月的痕跡與力量。我們拍照留念，記錄下這份難得的美景；閉上眼睛，聆聽風聲與鳥鳴，感受心靈與這片土地產生的共鳴。

不得不贊嘆，中國在保護自然風光方面所作的努力令人欽佩。丹霞山以其獨特地貌和絢麗色彩聞名，大自然的鬼斧神工在這里展現得淋漓盡致。紅褐色的巖石峭壁與翠綠植被交相輝映，構成一幅幅生動壯麗的畫面。這片土地不僅是自然奇觀，也是人與自然和諧共生的典范。當地居民尊重并順應自然，既保護了寶貴的自然資源，又傳承了豐富的文化遺產。

離開丹霞山，山腳下不遠處就是新龍村。這個村落猶如一幅生動的山水畫卷，每一處景色都透露出歲月的沉淀與自然的饋贈。數年前，這里曾是貧窮落后、環境惡劣的偏遠山區，土房泥路，為建房而伐木，為生計而踏泥。而今日的新龍村已煥然一新，綠樹成蔭，新房矗立，道路平坦。這一系列改變源于中國政府的鄉村振興戰略，整個國家從上到下，從政府到社會，大家一起努力，持續推進宜居宜業和美麗鄉村建設。

夕陽西下，我們結束了在新龍村一天的探索，心中滿載著對這個地方的無限感慨。新龍村只是正在發生嬗變的粵北大地的一個代表，更多的村莊正在鄉村振興戰略的支持下，走向復蘇，走向新生。

此行最重要的目的地其實是一所小學——仁化縣城北小學，我們早已和這里的孩子約定好，給他們上一堂別開生面的文化交流課。

粵北的夏日，暑氣正濃，但更熾熱的是孩子們心底里那份熱情與好客。我精心設計了一系列互動課程，想通過寓教于樂的方式，讓他們體驗到多元文化的精彩。

在文化分享會上，我介紹了印度的風俗習慣、節日慶典以及美食，每個孩子都聽得津津有味，眼神中閃爍著對未知世界的渴望。我還教授了一些簡單的心理小游戲，如“情緒拼圖”，讓孩子們通過拼湊不同表情的拼圖，學習識別和表達自己的情緒。

在這場活動中，世界回應著他們，而他們終將回應世界！美美與共，和而不同，當文化交流的種子植根于這些小朋友的心田，必將煥發絢麗光彩。每當想到這一點，我都感到無比激動與期待。

我已經在中國學習生活了十多個年頭，從云南到嶺南，從最美古城大理到千古商都廣州，我看過很多美麗生動的中國故事，我一直為成為一名優秀的中國故事講述者而努力著、實踐著，讓世界發現一個可愛生動的中國。

I come from India and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Human Anatomy and Embryology at Southern Medical University. During this scorching summer， I joined my classmates and friends on a splendid summer trip to Renhua County， Shaoguan City in northern Guangdong province. An invaluable opportunity to explore the vast and beautiful landscapes of China， the journey also allowed us to experience firsthand the vivid implementation of eco-friendly development concepts and witness the transformative impact that rural revitalization has had on this once-impoverished and isolated area.

In conquering Mount Danxia， I was ultimately conquered by it. Renowned as “China’s Red Stone Park”， Danxia boasts unique geological formations and a rich biodiversity. Its crimson cliffs， like the veins of the earth， are a testament to billions of years of history and change.

Standing on the Ziyu Platform， the iconic peak of Mount Danxia， I was utterly captivated by the breathtaking view. The layered red cliffs resembled masterpieces meticulously carved by nature， each radiating the marks and forces of time. We took photos to capture this rare beauty. Closing our eyes and feeling a deep resonance with this land， we listened to the wind whisper and the birds call.

China’s commitment to environmental protection is truly commendable. Mount Danxia， known for its extraordinary landforms and vibrant colors， showcases nature’s craftsmanship at its finest. The reddish-brown cliffs and lush green vegetation create a magnificent scene unfolding before the eyes. This place is not only a natural wonder but also a model of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. The local residents respect and adapt to their environment， preserving valuable natural resources and a rich cultural heritage.

A short distance from the foot of Mount Danxia lies Xinlong Village， which resembles a picturesque painting and reveals the gifts of time and nature in every direction. However， years ago， it was a poor and backward area with adverse living conditions， characterized by mud houses and muddy roads. Deforestation and inadequate infrastructure further exacerbated challenges faced by villagers. Today， Xinlong Village has undergone a remarkable transformation： it is shaded by green trees， with new houses standing tall along roads that are smooth and flat. This transformation is a direct result of the Chinese government’s rural revitalization strategy. The entire nation， from the government to society， has worked together to promote the living standards and environment in rural areas.

As the sun set， we concluded our day of exploration in Xinlong Village， filled with profound emotions about this place. It is just one representative of the transformations across northern Guangdong， as many other villages have also been revived by the rural revitalization strategy.

The primary destination of our trip was actually a primary school—Chengbei Primary School in Renhua County. We had already promised the children there to bring a unique cultural exchange lesson.

The summer in northern Guangdong was sweltering， but the children’s enthusiasm and hospitality were even more impressive. I had prepared interactive programs to make learning fun and introduce them to the wonders of multiculturalism.

During the cultural sharing session， I highlighted Indian customs， festivals and cuisine. The children listened carefully， their eyes sparkling with a curiosity about the world beyond their village. I also taught some simple psychological games， such as “Emotion Puzzle”， where they learned to identify and express their feelings by assembling different facial expressions.

This experience opened a window to the world for these children， and I believe they could play a significant role in shaping the future. Chinese culture advocates for “different but inclusive” and “harmony in diversity”. When the seeds of cultural exchange take root in these young minds， they are sure to blossom brilliantly. Thinking about this prospect always fills me with immense excitement and anticipation.

Having lived and studied in China for over a decade， I have traveled from Yunnan to Lingnan， from the beautiful ancient city of Dali to the bustling commercial hub of Guangzhou， encountering many beautiful Chinese stories along the way. I am committed to becoming a good storyteller for China to help the world discover the vibrant and enchanting reality of the country.
