"Look, here comes a load of foreigners!" As a minibus stopped at the roadside, a group of international tourists got off the bus excitedly. These tourists are overseas students from Henan Polytechnic University. They came to Dananpo specially for learning traditional Chinese culture.
“快看，来了一车外国人！”随着大南坡村民的一声惊呼，一辆中巴停在路边，一群外国友人兴奋地走下车。经过一番了解，原来他们是来自河南理工大学的留学生，特地到大南坡感受中国传统文化。
At the Art Center of Dananpo, when these international students came across Guo Peng, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Jiaozuo Municipal Committee and secretary of the CPC Xiuwu County Committee, he enthusiastically took up their "tour guide". With a strong interest in Guo's fluent English, these international students chatted with him in excitement.
在大南坡艺术中心，留学生们偶遇焦作市委常委、修武县委书记郭鹏，郭书记热情地为大家当起了“讲解员”，一口流利的英语让留学生们热情高涨，你一言我一语，现场气氛活跃，大家聊得不亦乐乎。
According to their teacher, these international students come from six countries, such as Pakistan and Tanzania. They had a lot of fun here and also learned a lot from their visit.
据带队老师介绍，这些留学生分别来自巴基斯坦、坦桑尼亚等6个国家，无论是艺术中心、方所书店，还是碧山工销社、“菜青虫”儿童乐园，都让这些留学生兴致盎然，受益匪浅。
Dananpo, located in the Taihang Mountains, used to be a famous affluent village with coal mines and minerals. But now, with the shutdown of the mines, the village has become deserted as a poor and backward poverty-stricken village at the provincial level.
大南坡地处太行山区，曾经依靠煤窑、矿产成为方圆百里出了名的富裕村。前些年，煤矿陆续关停，大南坡变得越来越冷清，成为贫穷落后的省级深度贫困村。
Dananpo, in recent years, has become a cultural center with the transformation of old buildings to vitalize the village. Looking ahead, it plans to provide tourists with more facilities for resting, dining and socializing by ways of homestay, bar, coffee shop, tea room, etc., and transformed its abandoned auditorium and school into teaching and research base, theater complex, etc., to better present the rural culture of Dananpo.
近年来，通过实践乡村振兴“美学路径”，大南坡对大队部等老建筑进行改造，已经形成了集艺术中心、方所乡村文化、碧山工销社、茶室等为一体的文化中心。下一步，还将通过建设民宿、酒吧、咖啡厅、茶馆等空间，为游客提供休息、用餐、社交的场所，并将废弃的礼堂、学校改造成为教研基地、剧场综合体等，让乡村文化在大南坡得到更充分的展示。（中文来源/大河网 翻译/赵汉青 实习生/黄骞婷 审校/焦丹）
