康思墨（Massimo Carrante，意大利），中央廣播電視總臺(tái)意大利語(yǔ)部專(zhuān)家。從小就被中國(guó)漢字吸引，進(jìn)而對(duì)中國(guó)產(chǎn)生了濃厚的興趣：“一個(gè)創(chuàng)造了如此美妙的書(shū)寫(xiě)方式的地方絕對(duì)是非凡卓越的?！?/p>

我從小就被中國(guó)這個(gè)偉大而非凡的國(guó)家吸引，并且很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間以來(lái)，我都感到與之有著神秘而不可分的關(guān)系。如今，我在北京已經(jīng)生活了十年，在這期間我見(jiàn)證了中國(guó)的非凡發(fā)展，尤其是在保護(hù)生態(tài)環(huán)境方面取得的進(jìn)步。在中央廣播電視總臺(tái)意大利語(yǔ)部工作的這些年中，多次出差讓我獲得了寶貴的機(jī)會(huì)走訪中國(guó)的許多地方。從東北三省到南方地區(qū)，每一次出差，我都能注意到堅(jiān)定踏上生態(tài)保護(hù)之路的中國(guó)所付出的努力以及獲得的成果。

近年來(lái)，我有機(jī)會(huì)到訪了許多綠水青山清晰可見(jiàn)的地方，特別是南方地區(qū)，它們不僅以古老的文化和豐富的美食而聞名，而且還以隨處可見(jiàn)的茂盛的植物而著稱(chēng)，甚至在廣州、福州和廈門(mén)等許多城市的橋梁和立交橋上，那強(qiáng)烈的綠色，似乎給予了金屬和混凝土建筑生命氣息。

對(duì)于有著良好氣候條件的南方省份來(lái)說(shuō)，擁有大量的植被不是件難事，不像北方地區(qū)受制于相對(duì)較差的天氣條件。但直到今天，當(dāng)我試圖回想起在中國(guó)這些年里欣賞到的最美麗、最令人回味的畫(huà)面之一時(shí)，我就會(huì)閉上眼睛，讓思緒飄向塞罕壩國(guó)家森林公園，那里的草場(chǎng)、一望無(wú)際的林海和絕美的濕地。我記得我是從一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)坐了大約兩個(gè)小時(shí)的公交車(chē)到達(dá)這個(gè)地方的。透過(guò)車(chē)窗，我欣賞到了被山丘圍繞、云杉和白樺樹(shù)干點(diǎn)綴其中的耕地景觀，這讓我對(duì)即將要到達(dá)的國(guó)家森林公園的美景充滿了期待。

塞罕壩國(guó)家森林公園位于中國(guó)河北省最北部，與內(nèi)蒙古高原地區(qū)的渾善達(dá)克沙地南部接壤。它的特別之處在于，這里矗立著世界上最大的人造森林。憑借著人們數(shù)十年如一日的工作、在此付出的耐心和奉獻(xiàn)精神，大片森林得以在沙漠中年復(fù)一年地生長(zhǎng)，塞罕壩人為建設(shè)更美麗的國(guó)家和為子孫后代創(chuàng)造更宜居的環(huán)境作出了杰出貢獻(xiàn)。塞罕壩國(guó)家森林公園素有“水的源頭、云的故鄉(xiāng)、花的世界、樹(shù)的海洋和鳥(niǎo)的天堂”之美譽(yù)，充分體現(xiàn)了中國(guó)的生態(tài)奇跡。對(duì)于游客尤其是外國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)，難以想象這一充滿生機(jī)的公園50多年前是黃沙遮天蔽日，連給鳥(niǎo)兒們提供棲息之地的樹(shù)木都沒(méi)有。在塞罕壩之行中我了解到，1962年設(shè)立的塞罕壩機(jī)械林場(chǎng)，目的在于減少春季困擾華北地區(qū)的沙塵暴。同年，來(lái)自中國(guó)18個(gè)省份的369名年輕人集結(jié)于此，開(kāi)始了在高原沙地上植樹(shù)造林的艱苦工作。

參觀期間，我遇到了塞罕壩國(guó)家森林公園的負(fù)責(zé)人王立軍先生。他跟我們講述了促使他為國(guó)家公園工作的一些有趣細(xì)節(jié)：首先，他想追隨自己父母的腳步，他們都是林場(chǎng)老一輩的工作者；其次，他希望從事一份在他看來(lái)有使命感的工作。王立軍還告訴我們，塞罕壩有九座瞭望塔，護(hù)林員在這些塔上使用雙筒望遠(yuǎn)鏡年復(fù)一年地每隔15分鐘就觀測(cè)一次森林以防火情。塞罕壩機(jī)械林場(chǎng)成立60年來(lái)，超過(guò)20戶人家接管過(guò)這些瞭望塔，在這期間從未發(fā)生過(guò)任何火災(zāi)。

塞罕壩除擁有世界上面積最大的人工森林之外，在這里人們還可以體驗(yàn)富有特色的當(dāng)?shù)孛朗?，比如酸菜莜面、鐵鍋燉魚(yú)和金蓮花茶，展現(xiàn)了當(dāng)?shù)鼐用衽c土地和自然的緊密聯(lián)系。

在參觀過(guò)程中，我還去到了其他同樣具有特別之處的地方，例如七星湖，這是一處保存完好的濕地，為各種鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)提供棲息的場(chǎng)所，并向參觀者展現(xiàn)了一派寧?kù)o而秀麗的景色。在前往公園其他地方參觀的過(guò)程中，有一個(gè)特別之處也吸引了我的目光：地平線上矗立著大量的風(fēng)力渦輪機(jī)，它們毫無(wú)違和地與周邊風(fēng)景融為一體，見(jiàn)證了中國(guó)在使用可再生能源上付出的越來(lái)越多的努力。

閉上眼睛，我就會(huì)回想起記憶里那些依然色彩斑斕的畫(huà)面，如今再睜眼，我看到了中國(guó)——這個(gè)我曾經(jīng)生活過(guò)、至今仍在此居住的、對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)具有特殊意義的地方——正堅(jiān)定自信地走著自己的路，一手握著輝煌的過(guò)去，另一手握著充滿新機(jī)遇的未來(lái)。

I have been fascinated by the beautiful and extraordinary country of China ever since I was a child.I felt a mysterious and inseparable relationship with this country for the longest time.I have lived in Beijing for ten years,during which time I have witnessed China’s extraordinary development,especially the progress made in protecting the environment.While working in the Italian Department of China Media Group,I took business trips to many beautiful places in China.From the three northeastern provinces to the southern regions,I noticed China’s increasing efforts to protect the country’s environment.

In recent years,I have had the opportunity to visit many places with clear water and green mountains.The southern regions are famous for their ancient culture and rich cuisine.They are also renowned for their lush plants that can be seen everywhere.Some plants can even be found on bridges and under overpasses.In addition,many cities,such as Guangzhou,Fuzhou,and Xiamen,have a lovely green color due to nature intermingling with metal and concrete.

It is not tricky for southern provinces with suitable climate conditions to have a large amount of vegetation,unlike northern regions that are subject to relatively poor weather conditions.But to this day,when I try to recall one of the most beautiful and evocative images I have enjoyed during my years in China,I close my eyes and let my mind wander to Saihanba National Forest Park.The park contains beautiful grasslands,endless forests,and magniflcent wetlands.I remember arriving at this place after taking a bus from a small town for about two hours.Watching through the bus window,I admired the landscape of cultivated hills dotted with spruce and birch trunks.The sight made me look forward to the beauty of the national forest park where I was about to arrive.

Saihanba National Forest Park is located in the northernmost part of Hebei Province,China,bordering on the southern part of the Hunshandake Sandy Land in the Inner Mongolia Plateau.What makes it unique is that it is home to the largest artiflcial forest in the world.Thanks to the people’s decades of work,patience,and dedication,the extensive forest grew year after year in the middle of a desert.As a result,the Saihanba people have created beautiful countryside and livable places for future generations.Furthermore,they made an outstanding contribution to the environment.Saihanba National Forest Park is “the source of water,the hometown of clouds,the world of flowers,the ocean of trees,and the paradise of birds.”It fully embodies China’s ecological miracle.For tourists,especially foreigners,it is hard to imagine that this vibrant park was covered by yellow sand more than 50 years ago,and there were no trees to provide bird habitats.During my trip to Saihanba,I learned that the Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm was established in 1962 to reduce the sandstorms that plague North China in the spring.In the same year,369 young people from 18 provinces in China gathered here and started the hard work of planting trees on the sandy plateau.

During the visit,I met Mr.Wang Lijun,the person in charge of Saihanba National Forest Park.He told us some exciting details about what motivated him to work for the national park: First,he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his parents,who were older workers on the forest farm.Wang Lijun also told us that there are nine watchtowers in Saihanba,and forest rangers use binoculars from these towers to observe the forest every 15 minutes.Year after year,the ranges watch diligently to prevent flre.In the 60 years since the establishment of Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm,more than 20 families have taken care of these watchtowers,and there has never been any flre during this period.

In addition to having the largest artiflcial forest in the world,Saihanba also offers unique local delicacies,such as sauerkraut noodles,stewed flsh in an iron pot,and nasturtium tea,which show the closeness between residents and the land.

During the visit,I also visited other equally unique places,such as Qixing Lake,which is a well-preserved wetland.It provides a habitat for various birds and presents a peaceful environment to visitors with beautiful scenery.While visiting other parts of the park,something special also caught my eye:many wind turbines stand on the horizon and blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.Thus,I witnessed China’s use of renewable energy.

When I close my eyes,I will recall those still colorful pictures in my memory.But,now I open my eyes again,and I see Chinaa country that I have lived in and is still living here,which has special meaning to me.The place-is walking its path flrmly and confldently,holding a glorious past in one hand and a future full of new opportunities in the other.
