“無(wú)法預(yù)測(cè)的緣分與彩虹盡頭般的幸運(yùn)相遇,終將帶來(lái)令人驚喜的邂逅?!?/p>
緣分宛如黑暗中的一盞燈,雖微小,卻足以照亮人們腳下的路。它給予我們機(jī)會(huì)、力量和勇氣,是我們成長(zhǎng)的伴侶,也是生命旅途中的回報(bào)。我深信這一點(diǎn),我認(rèn)為我與中國(guó)相遇正是源于緣分與幸運(yùn)的交織,之所以能夠擁有這段緣分,得益于“一帶一路”倡議的提出。
簡(jiǎn)言之,“一帶一路”注重推動(dòng)互聯(lián)互通和國(guó)際合作,包括人文交流等各方面的發(fā)展。自“一帶一路”倡議提出以來(lái),它為更多學(xué)生提供了突破自我的機(jī)會(huì),我就是其中之一。
來(lái)中國(guó)留學(xué)是我初中時(shí)期的最大目標(biāo)。當(dāng)時(shí),我將出國(guó)留學(xué)作為高考后的首要任務(wù)。后來(lái),當(dāng)夢(mèng)想成為現(xiàn)實(shí)時(shí),我一度以為只是幻想,直到我踏踏實(shí)實(shí)地踏上中國(guó)的土地,我才相信這是真實(shí)的。
在實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想的旅程中,我經(jīng)歷了萬(wàn)物復(fù)蘇、鮮花盛開(kāi)的春季,經(jīng)歷了烈日炎炎、雷聲滾滾的夏季,也經(jīng)歷了天高氣爽、漫山紅葉的秋季,還有萬(wàn)籟俱寂、千里冰封的冬季。我經(jīng)歷了愉快的、難過(guò)的、意外的、難忘的……終于,我蛻變成了一個(gè)成熟的大學(xué)生,成為許多弟弟妹妹信賴(lài)的學(xué)姐。
我清楚記得第一次上專(zhuān)業(yè)課時(shí),根本跟不上課程的進(jìn)度,倒不是因?yàn)槔蠋熤v得太快,而是因?yàn)槲覍?duì)那些專(zhuān)業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)不夠熟悉,導(dǎo)致雖然能聽(tīng)懂老師說(shuō)的一部分詞語(yǔ),但當(dāng)它們連在一起時(shí),就變成了難以理解的一串詞。后來(lái)我一個(gè)一個(gè)地查專(zhuān)業(yè)詞語(yǔ)和句子,然后抄在本子上把它們都背會(huì),慢慢適應(yīng)了專(zhuān)業(yè)課的節(jié)奏,目前我已經(jīng)很自豪地跟中國(guó)學(xué)生一起學(xué)習(xí)了。我發(fā)現(xiàn)大學(xué)生活真的很有趣,除了學(xué)術(shù)方面的知識(shí)外,還有許多與個(gè)人興趣、文化交流和社會(huì)實(shí)踐相關(guān)的活動(dòng)和比賽可以參加,我只要一有空就報(bào)名,雖然沒(méi)有收獲很多好成績(jī),但是至少收獲了友誼,而且準(zhǔn)備比賽的過(guò)程本身就是很有意思的一件事。這些活動(dòng)不僅為日常學(xué)習(xí)生活增添了色彩,而且?guī)椭覀冋J(rèn)識(shí)自己、提升自己,讓我們成為理想中的自己。
在留學(xué)的這些日子里,除了在學(xué)業(yè)方面的收獲以外,我在生活中有很多不期而遇的收獲。身處陌生的國(guó)度,飲食、習(xí)俗和社交規(guī)則等各個(gè)方面都需要進(jìn)行探索和嘗試。我個(gè)人認(rèn)為,最好的學(xué)習(xí)方式就是勇于嘗試。我是一個(gè)什么事都想試試的人,因此在品嘗了很多中國(guó)美食、接觸了不同國(guó)家的同學(xué)之后,我獲得了許多生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)和人生觀點(diǎn),拓寬了自己的視野,逐漸變得更加開(kāi)放和包容。
我還提升了自己的語(yǔ)言能力。在中國(guó)生活,每天都需要使用漢語(yǔ)進(jìn)行交流和學(xué)習(xí)。雖然在來(lái)中國(guó)前我曾經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)一段時(shí)間的漢語(yǔ),但剛來(lái)到這里時(shí)仍然感到語(yǔ)言方面有障礙,畢竟學(xué)習(xí)和實(shí)踐之間存在差異。而且,中國(guó)有太多方言,盡管大家盡量說(shuō)普通話,但我還是聽(tīng)不懂。好在我是一個(gè)不容易放棄的人,在一天天的磨煉中,逐漸感悟到了方言的關(guān)系,慢慢聽(tīng)懂了老師和同學(xué)不太標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的普通話。
除此之外,在這個(gè)美妙的旅程中,我還學(xué)會(huì)了解決問(wèn)題和獨(dú)立生活的技能。在異國(guó)他鄉(xiāng),當(dāng)然需要自己處理各種瑣事,例如處理銀行事務(wù)、安排行程等,這鍛煉了我的組織能力、判斷能力、解決問(wèn)題能力和自主管理能力。因此,現(xiàn)在的我學(xué)會(huì)了如何制定計(jì)劃、作出決策,更客觀地應(yīng)對(duì)各種挑戰(zhàn)和困難。這些技能不僅有助于培養(yǎng)自身的應(yīng)變能力,也促使我成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)更加成熟和自主的人,對(duì)未來(lái)的個(gè)人和職業(yè)發(fā)展都非常有益。
從一個(gè)生活小白到現(xiàn)在懂得如何掌控自己、權(quán)衡利弊,這些經(jīng)歷和收獲將成為我一生難忘的回憶,也成為我人生道路上寶貴的財(cái)富,為我面臨未來(lái)的挑戰(zhàn)和追求更高目標(biāo)提供最有力的支持。
總之,我認(rèn)為我小時(shí)候的這個(gè)夢(mèng)想非常了不起,如果沒(méi)有當(dāng)初懵懂的夢(mèng)想,就沒(méi)有現(xiàn)在成熟的我,當(dāng)然,我更要感謝能讓我夢(mèng)想成真的“一帶一路”偉大倡議和我親愛(ài)的母校。
中國(guó)!偉大而美麗的中國(guó),在與您邂逅以后,我的人生變得如此豐富多彩,收獲如此之多,感謝您給予我這段珍貴的人生經(jīng)歷。這段美好的緣分將使我終生難忘。

“Unpredictable fate and lucky meeting by chance at the end of the rainbow will eventually lead to surprising encounters.”
Fate is like a lamp in the dark, although it is small, it is enough to illuminate the road under people’s feet. It gives us opportunity, strength and courage. It is a companion for our growth, and a reward in the journey of life. I am convinced of this, and I believe that my encounter with China stems from the interweaving of fate and luck, and the reason why I can have this fate is due to the proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative.
In short, the Belt and Road Initiative focuses on promoting connectivity and international cooperation, including people-to-people exchanges. Since it was proposed, the Belt and Road Initiative has provided more students with opportunities to break through themselves. I am one of them.
Study in China was my biggest goal in junior high school. At that time, I made studying abroad my top priority after the college entrance examination. Later, when the dream came true, I once thought it was just a fantasy, and it wasn’t until I set foot on Chinese land that I believed it was real.
In the journey of fulfilling my dreams, I experienced a spring when everything was revived and flowers were in full bloom; experienced the scorching sun and thunderstorm in summer; I had also experienced the autumn of blue sky and red leaves and winter that was quiet and frozen for a vast land.I have pleasant, sad, unexpected, unforgettable memories... Eventually, I transformed into a mature college student and a trusted senior sister for many younger students.
I remember that when I first took a specialized course, I couldn’t keep up with the pace at all, not because the teacher spoke too quickly, but because I was not familiar with the technical terms. As a result, I could understand some of the words spoken by the teacher, but when they were connected, they became an incomprehensible string of words. Later, I looked up the technical terms and sentences one by one, and then copied them all in my notebook, and gradually adapted to the rhythm of the specialized course, and now I am proud to study with Chinese students. I found university life really interesting, in addition to academic knowledge, there are many activities and competitions related to personal interests, cultural exchanges and social practice to participate in, I signed up as soon as I was free, although I didn’t get a lot of good results, at least I gained friendships, and the process of preparing for the competition itself was a very interesting thing. These activities not only add color to our daily study life, but also help us know ourselves, improve ourselves, and make us become a better man.
In these days of studying abroad, in addition to the gains in my studies, I have had many unexpected gains in my life. Being in a foreign country, it is necessary to explore and try various aspects such as food, customs, and social rules.Personally speaking, the best way to learn is to have the courage to try, I am a person who wants to try, so after tasting a lot of Chinese food and meeting classmates from different countries, I have gained a lot of life experience and life perspectives, broadened my horizons and gradually became more open and inclusive.
I also improved my language skills. Living in China, you need to use Chinese to communicate and learn every day. Although I had studied Chinese for a while before coming to China, I still felt that there was a language barrier when I first came here, because there was a difference between learning and practice. Also, there are so many dialects in China that I don’t understand even though everyone tries to speak Mandarin. Fortunately, I do not give up easily, and in the training day by day, I gradually realized the relationship between dialects, and slowly understood the non-standard Mandarin of teachers and classmates.
In addition to this, I have also learned problem-solving and independent living skills during this wonderful journey. In a foreign country, of course, I had to deal with various chores by myself, such as handling bank affairs and arranging trips, which honed my organizational skills, judgment skills, problemsolving skills and self-management skills. Therefore, I have now learned how to make plans, make decisions, and respond to challenges and difficulties more objectively. These skills not only help me develop my resilience, but also help me grow into a more mature and self-directed person, which will be very beneficial for my future personal and professional development.
From a novice in life to now knowing how to control myself and weigh the pros and cons, these experiences and gains will become unforgettable memories for me and a valuable asset on my life path, providing the most powerful support for me to face future challenges and pursue bigger goals.
In a word, I think my childhood dream is very remarkable. If it was not for the ignorant dream at the beginning, I would not be as mature as I am now, of course, I would like to thank the Belt and Road Initiative and my dear alma mater that can make my dream come true.
The great and beautiful China, after meeting you, my life has become so colorful and has gained so much. Thank you for giving me this precious life experience. This wonderful experience will be something I will never forget.
