走进中国

踏上这片土地，或许你就会爱上她。
多年前父母偶然的一个想法，竟使我第一次背井离乡，从法国踏上了中国这片土地。走进中国，你会发现这里的一切都充满着一股富有活力的气息。
俗话说“百闻不如一见”，只有亲眼所见，亲耳所听，亲身所触，才能知其内心。自己在中国十多年的经历，确确实实让我看到了其富有活力的一面。对于中国的经济发展、科技成果，我看到的不仅仅是报道中的“数据”这么简单，更多是一种人类最淳朴的品质，一种团结、自强、求学、创新的品质，这种品质促成了整个社会的发展。十年前，我曾来到广西桂林一个小村子，那里以井取水，道路狭窄，网络不通，人们的生活简单质朴；十年后再来看它，家家户户水泥房，通水通路也通网，衣食无忧悠然自在，那是中国人努力过后的结晶。但在科技被广泛应用于生活的同时，我依然看到了村庄原有传统文化习俗的流传：老农夫闲暇之时养牛耕田、种菜为乐，节庆之日传统美食家家有备，老小齐聚享家庭之乐的日子依旧常在，这些将原有的传统生活作息养成了一种带有韵味的生活习惯，让我不禁敬慕这种有温度的生活方式。
生活中的温度不只存在于中国家庭文化之中，或许亲眼遇见过“一方有难，八方支援”，才能感知中国社会所折射出的温暖。新冠肺炎疫情期间，我选择留在中国。2019年第一次爆出新冠病毒的新闻时，我在武汉；后来自己正好在武汉封城之前离开。病毒的肆虐，打破了我们原有的生活规律，但值得庆幸的是，中国政府快速实施的防疫措施，使我内心的恐慌渐渐平静下来。从封城到解禁，从口罩的供不应求到自给自足，从未开发疫苗到现在开始向群众普及，这一切都证明了中国政府所做出的努力都是值得的。在这场特殊的战斗中，我目睹了疫情的发展，也见证了奇迹的发生。毛泽东主席在《七律·到韶山》中有一句话“为有牺牲多壮志，敢教日月换新天”，正是因为有了防疫战士们的壮志和牺牲，才有了今日恢复生机的中国。中国人同时又具有居安思危的品质，不得不说，中国在开发疫苗的领域上不断为世界做出贡献，今年7月初，习近平主席同法国总统马克龙的视频峰会中，法方就针对疫苗的开发赞赏了中方为发展中国家公平获得疫苗发挥的重要作用。积土而为山，积水而为海，任何成就都是通过努力得来的，现在的我已打上了中国的疫苗，我也相信中国能给世界带来更多的希望。
创新改变世界，科技引领潮流，因为亲身体验了科技带来的便利，才让我相信这种“希望”指日可待。中共十八大以来，网络、信息等技术加速向产业渗透，共享经济蓬勃发展，互联网以不可阻挡的趋势融合进了各个领域之中。新兴产业百舸争流，“互联网＋”与零售、餐饮、医疗、教育等领域相互融合，为人民开启了全新的生活。在中国生活的我，同样也已离不开新技术的应用：早上坐地铁，我用轨道交通App；中午吃午饭，我用美食外卖软件；准备付钱了，支付宝助我完成付款；出门去闲逛，共享单车成了我移动的最佳伙伴。制度优势、发展优势、机遇优势，让中国的经济社会发展有了诸多的有利条件，因为科技，我们的生活变得越来越好。

面对复杂变化的世界，习近平主席启迪我们要“不畏浮云遮望眼”，善于拨云见日认清世界大势，在这里学习，我同样也感受到了中国顺应时代潮流，并希望世界能更加了解真实的中国。6月21日，中共中央总书记、国家主席习近平给北京大学的留学生们回信，为了学习回信精神，我参加了学校举办的座谈会，并谈了谈自己对回信的感想：要想读懂今天的中国并非易事，只有通过实践才能了解最真实的中国，并在这个基础上讲好中国故事，共同见证中国的美好发展。副校长在座谈会中同样也鼓励来华留学生努力架起中国和世界各国友谊的桥梁，传播中国文化到世界各地，共同构建人类命运共同体。主动去了解中国国情和中国共产党的历史，对于作为留学生的我了解中国的过去、现在和将来都十分有益，我也希望能凭借自己的一份努力，与世界各国人民携起手来，推动构建人类命运共同体。

走进中国，是一场冒险。走走停停，接触新的事物，体验新的文化，每一步都是对这场旅途最真实的感悟。走进中国，是一种寄托。在我的眼里，中国已做得尽善尽美，但人民依然将自己的使命放眼未来，这种不懈努力使我不禁将自己的希望寄托于此地。走进中国，是一种幸福。踏上这片土地，一切都显得光芒耀眼，中国人民所创造出来的中国美让我始终坚信，自己踏上了一段有意义的旅程。
Into China
［France］ Leret Bonnie， Wuhan University
You will most probably fall in love with her when you step onto this land， China．
A spontaneous idea from my parents many years ago enabled me to depart from my home country — France， and step onto this land — China， where I found vigor and vitality was everywhere in the air．
Seeing is believing． Only with personal experience can we fully understand China． My experience in China for more than 10 years has enabled me to witness its vigor and vitality． The economic development and scientific achievement of China is more than simple data in various reports． It is the product of an authentic quality of human beings， that is， solidarity， self－reliance， continuous improvement and innovation． This authentic quality of human beings brings about social development． A decade ago， I visited a village in the countryside of Guilin， Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region． They drank water from wells， had no internet connection and their transportation was very limited with narrow roads to the village． People there lived quite a simple life． However， after only 10 years， solid cement houses were built， with tap water， highway connection and internet． People there live an easy and happy life now with no worries about food and clothing． The life there has been changed greatly due to people’s hard work． What’s more amazing is that people maintain their traditional customs and culture while applying technologies into daily life． For example， senior farmers enjoy growing vegetables and raising cattle in their leisure time， families prepare traditional food for festivals and people often get together enjoying their family life． They live a life combining traditions with modern ease． I really admire this warm lifestyle．
The warmth can be seen not only in Chinese family life， but also in Chinese society． Anyone who has witnessed and experienced the mutual help and support of Chinese during the COVID－19 pandemic period will have no doubt over the warmth of Chinese society． I stayed in China during the epidemic period． When the pandemic was first reported in 2019， I was in Wuhan． I happened to have left Wuhan before its lockdown． I did not expect that it soon spread to every corner of the world． The rampant spread of the virus disturbed our routine life． Fortunately， I was not seized by fear because of all the anti－virus efforts of the Chinese government． Since Wuhan entered lockdown， the Chinese government had been doing its utmost to help its people， from the supply of facial masks to the development of anti－virus vaccines． When Wuhan lifted its lockdown， China had sufficient supplies of facial masks and its self－developed vaccines had been put into use among its people， which displayed self－evidently the first priority the Chinese government had put on its people． In this special fight against the virus， I have witnessed the outbreak of the pandemic as well as the miracle the Chinese people had made． Chairman Mao Zedong once wrote， in his Seven－word Poem – To Shaoshan， “Because of all those martyrs who have sacrificed themselves for our lofty mission， I dare say that I can change the world into a new one．” Now as a witness to what the Chinese have done in the fight against the pandemic virus， I fully understand the poem and come to realize that the revitalized China after the virus outbreak was attributed to the lofty mission and sacrifice of Chinese soldiers． Chinese have a quality that enables them to always be prepared for danger even in peace time． China has contributed greatly to the development of anti－virus vaccines in the world． In early July this year， Chinese President Xi Jinping had a video summit with French President Macron， who highly praised the positive role the Chinese government had played in the fair supply of vaccinium to developing countries． A great number of mounds make a mountain； drops of water make an ocean． No pains， no gains． I have been injected with Chinese vaccines and I believe China will bring more hopes to the world．
Innovation changes the world and technology leads the trend． After witnessing the radical changes science and technology has brought to the world， I now look forward to the hope it may bring us． After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China， network and information technologies accelerate their penetration into industries， sharing economy is blooming and Internet technologies are penetrating all industries with unstoppable pace． Newly emerging industries are competing and merging with each other． Internet plus is blending with retail， catering， medical and education industries， and a brand new lifestyle is opening before us． In China， new technologies are in every aspect of my daily life． For example， I use a transportation APP when taking subways in the morning； I use a food delivery APP to order lunch at noon； I use Alipay to pay for everything I buy； and shared bikes are my best partner when I hang about in the city． Institutional advantages， development advantages and opportunity advantages facilitate the development of Chinese society and economy． Science and technology makes us live better．
When facing the ever－changing and complicated world， President Xi told us not to be obscured by floating clouds but be adept at seeing through the clouds． In this way we can see the world clearly and know the correct way to go． Living in China， I witness how China is developing itself at the same pace with the rest of the world and how it expects to be truly understood by the rest of the world． On June 21， President Xi replied a letter to international students in Peking University． I attended the school seminar for this and commented on this letter： It is not easy to understand today’s China． The real China can only be understood through personal experience． Basing on the understanding， we can tell truth about China and witness the beautiful development of China． The vice president of the university encouraged the international students to act as bridges between China and the rest of the world， spread Chinese culture around the world and jointly build the world into a community with a shared future for mankind． He also encouraged us to actively study Chinese history and the history of the CPC， which will be very helpful for us to understand the past， the present and the future of China． I wish I could join hands with others to make a contribution towards building the world into a community with a shared future for mankind．
Walking into China is like an adventure． I have learned new things and experienced a different culture here． Every step in China is real and enjoyable． Walking into China is a kind of consolation for me． In my eyes， China is making perfect progress every day． However， the Chinese people are still looking beyond into the far future． Their continuous efforts make me believe that walking into China is a real God’s bless． I can＇t help pinning my hopes on this land． Since I set my feet upon this land， every minute has been shining． The Chinese beauty created by the Chinese people enables me to believe that the journey I am having now is meaningful and valuable．
