　　The National People's Congress is an important window for showing the real China to the world and spreading the voice of China.

On March 8, China News Agency and China News Service "Through Train for the Two Sessions and Global Connections" invited Chinese and foreign students to share their experiences of growing up in China and a foreign country.

Fate begins with learning Chinese

　　"My decision to come to China for further study stemmed from the wonderful time I spent studying Chinese at the Confucius Institute in Jordan," said Mina, a master student at the Law School of Renmin University of China.

　　The Jordanian girl, who speaks fluent Chinese, describes her study abroad trip as "home away from home".

"The enthusiasm of my Chinese friends made me feel the love and warmth of family members. This is the feeling of 'home'." Mina said that she has received a lot of help from her classmates in her campus life. Help me to note Chinese pinyin, and taught me a lot of Chinese songs, these little details moved me."

　　During her study abroad, Mina opened the topic "Mina Observation Diary" on the WeChat official account of the Arabic channel of China International Television (CGTN), hoping to share more "Chinese stories" with the world through her own perspective.

　　The mysterious veil of Qiang culture, the technological power behind the convenience of "Chinese style", and the efforts made by all walks of life to realize the "Covenant of Ice and Snow"... all appeared in Mina's observation.

Mina said that seeing is believing, having experienced the local customs and customs of various parts of China, witnessed the rapid development of China, and has a stronger desire to know more about China.

　　During the two sessions, social assistance and security for the disabled and China's achievements in poverty alleviation are Mina's focus.

"China's experience in poverty alleviation and poverty reduction has provided a lot of inspiration and reference for the world," she said.

Studying in China is full of opportunities

　　With the increasingly close international exchanges, China has become the largest study destination country in Asia, and it has become a trend for foreign students to study in China.

　　"Traditional Chinese Medicine" has always been the dream career and interest of Lu Yan, a young Malaysian Chinese.

In order to turn the "seeing, hearing, asking, and cutting" that she saw on TV dramas when she was a child into "reality", she became a master student of acupuncture and massage at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

　　"Good teaching quality, high level of scientific research, and relatively complete hardware and software facilities are my intuitive feelings about Chinese universities." Lu Yan said, for example, when he was a beginner in Chinese medicine, the college provided different types of pulses that could simulate floating, sinking, and counting pulses. The pulse machine can help you fully understand professional knowledge, enhance your interest in learning through diligent practice, and lay a solid foundation.

　　As acupuncture and massage have become popular overseas, the culture of traditional Chinese medicine has become an important window for the dialogue between Chinese and foreign civilizations.

According to Lu Yan, in Malaysia, the application of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture is more common, and public awareness is constantly improving.

"I believe that traditional Chinese medicine can gain more space for development in Malaysia by virtue of its own advantages and influence. Therefore, 'how can traditional Chinese medicine seize the opportunity and speed up its international development' is the topic of the two sessions that I am concerned about."

Exchange and build a bridge of friendship

　　Educational exchanges have become a bridge between China and the world.

To promote people-to-people bonds, Chinese students who go overseas also use their own methods to enhance Sino-foreign friendship.

　　Mao Lingling studied violin at the National Conservatory of Music in Bordeaux, France. She chose to understand the cultural charm of foreign countries through music, and also told the world about the softness of Chinese melody.

　　"Bordeaux is a city with a strong artistic atmosphere. Street performances can be seen everywhere, and I often participate in them. I play "Blue and White Porcelain" and "New Year Music" on the violin. Attracted by the performance of oriental charm, it also gave her a lot of strength.

　　She said that every Chinese student is a disseminator of Chinese culture, and in a cross-cultural context, only communication can shorten the distance between each other.

"The elements of overseas Chinese culture should not only be dragon and lion dances. I will share Chinese musical instruments such as erhu and flute with my teachers and classmates in a way that is easy for them to understand."

　　During the two sessions, Mao Lingling paid close attention to discussions on topics related to art education.

"I hope that art education can benefit more people and give them the ability and opportunity to realize their dreams and be narrators of Chinese culture." (End)
