International students in Henan, 'It is really a heart-warming winter vacation!'

“文化体验+科技创新”外国留学生:“这个寒假有点暖!”

 

"By learning Taijiquan, I have become more interested in Chinese culture. When I go back to my hometown, I will teach what I have learned to my family and friends to make them love China and Chinese culture even more." On February 6, Du Bo, a student from Jordan who studies at the International Education College of Henan Polytechnic University, was carefully practicing every movement of Taijiquan with his classmates.

“通过学习太极拳,我对中国文化更加感兴趣,回国后,我将把这些所学所感传递给家人和朋友,让他们和我一样更加喜欢中国、更加喜欢中国文化。”2月6日,冬日暖阳下,河南理工大学国际教育学院来自约旦的外国留学生杜博正在和同学们一起练习太极拳,一招一式有模有样,拿捏得很是到位。

To enrich campus life of the international students during the winter vacation, provide an opportunity for them not only to enjoy the warmth of the school, but feel the atmosphere of Chinese New Year, a series of activities including "cultural experience" and "technological innovation" were held by the International Education College of Henan Polytechnic University, such as Taijiquan performance, Chinese Spring Festival culture, technological innovation training, etc.

据介绍,为进一步丰富外国留学生的寒假生活,让大家充分感受到学校大家庭的温暖,感受到中国春节欢乐祥和的气氛,河南理工大学国际教育学院组织外国留学生开展了太极拳展演、春节文化体验、科技创新能力培训等“文化体验+科技创新”系列活动。

 

Among them, the performance of Taijiquan taught by the CPC volunteers from the School of Physical Education became the highlight of the activities. In regard to the cultural experience of Chinese Spring Festival, Du Bo displayed his calligraphy work: a couplet composed of "牛气冲天气象新, 福气满满快乐年" (Wish you a happy New Year and a good fortune). During his study at Henan Polytechnic University, Chinese calligraphy is his favorite hobby.

其中,河南理工大学体育学院党员志愿服务队教授的太极拳,把以“关爱留学生,太极健身梦”为主题的太极文化体验活动推向了高潮;在春节文化体验中,杜博向大家展示了他写的书法作品,一副用毛笔书写的“牛气冲天气象新,福气满满快乐年”的喜庆春联,并高兴地祝福大家身体健康、工作顺利、阖家幸福、万事如意。在河南理工大学留学期间,学习中国书法,成了他最大的爱好。

 

According to the international students' wishes, the International Education College also organized many folk cultural activities and related online contest, such as hanging red lanterns, sticking Spring Festival couplets and window decorations, making dumplings, etc., to make them have a taste of Chinese New Year and experience the enthusiastic hospitality of Chinese people. Moreover, badminton, cricket, shuttlecock and other fitness activities were also carried out based on the international students' interest to enhance their health and motivate their interest and enthusiasm in learning Chinese culture.

根据留学生们的意愿,河南理工大学国际教育学院还组织大家开展了贴春联、挂灯笼、贴窗花、包饺子等民俗活动和民俗线上知识竞赛,让留学生们充分体验中国年味、感知中国温度。该院还依托留学生兴趣小组开展了羽毛球、板球、踢毽子等健身运动,在增强留学生们身体健康素质的同时,进一步激发了他们学习中国文化的兴趣和热情。

 

"These activities make me feel warm in heart," Du Bo said, "This winter vacation is not only rich and colorful, but interesting and meaningful."

“看到这些暖心活动,我心里也暖暖的。”杜博感慨地说,“今年的寒假生活不但丰富多彩,而且很有趣味、很有意义。”

 

In addition, together with the Engineering Training Centre of Henan Polytechnic University, a series of training for the international students' technological innovation abilities (such as UAV express delivery service, paper cutting by laser, etc.) were held to promote their practice and awareness of scientific and technological innovation as well as their understanding of China's scientific and technological development in the new era.

此外,河南理工大学国际教育学院还协同该校工程训练中心组织开展了智能配送无人机原理及实践训练、水下管道智能巡检原理及实践训练、黑陶制作、激光剪纸等科技创新能力培训,提升外国留学生们的科技创新意识和实践动手能力,增强他们对中国新时代科技发展变化的理解与认同。

 

"These activities working as an ideal platform not only enriched the international students' life during the winter vacation, but laid a good foundation for the university to cultivate outstanding international students who know China, learn to live with it better and love it," Wang Zhe, dean of the International Education College of Henan Polytechnic University, remarked that, "We are striving to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control to ensure that the international students will have a safe and warm winter vacation while enhancing their sense of closeness to China."

“活动不但充实了外国留学生的假期学习生活,而且为学校培养‘知华、友华、爱华’的国际人才奠定了良好基础、提供了理想平台。”河南理工大学国际教育学院院长王哲说,“国际教育学院正全力答好疫情防控、欢度假期这道‘考题’,让健康、快乐成为寒假的温馨底色,让留学生们过得平安、暖心的同时,进一步拉近他们对中国的亲近感、认同感。”(中文来源/河南日报 翻译/赵汉青 海报/韩雨松 审校/丁岚)
