我的留学生活因运动而增彩
［吉尔吉斯斯坦］李挚爱 盐城工业职业技术学院
我来自吉尔吉斯斯坦，这是古丝绸之路穿越的地方，在首都比什凯克市的北边有一条日别克—若雷大街，其中文意思就是“丝绸之路”。在我们的首都还有一条“邓小平大街”，昭示着吉尔吉斯斯坦一直在以中国为榜样，走有特色的改革开放之路。近年来，越来越多的中国企业到吉尔吉斯斯坦投资，街上的“中国印记”也越来越多，掌握汉语就意味着能在中资企业谋得一份待遇很不错的工作。我的父亲是一名从事水果生意的商人，他将水果出口到哈萨克斯坦、俄罗斯等国家，他经常半开玩笑地和我说：“你想不想学习汉语？将来可以把我们的优质水果出口到中国去。”在2017年我真的获得了到中国读书的机会，在盐城工业职业技术学院学习国际商务专业。
我从小喜欢运动，特别喜欢跑步和排球，在S． Karalaiev中学时参加了学校的排球队，经过努力训练争取到了球队的主力位置，我们球队曾经获得过三次城市的冠军，我个人也获得过两次最佳球员称号。我喜欢通过电视或网络观看一些国际排球队的比赛，中国女排给我的印象很深，姑娘们总是能够团结一心、顽强拼搏。我也总是梦想着和我最喜欢的排球运动员朱婷有一张合影。
刚来到盐城工业职业技术学院没多久，我们学校举办运动会，我报名了1000米和接力跑步的比赛，并且取得了好的成绩。非常幸运的是，我们国际教育学院很快也组建了自己的排球队，我主动承担起了组织大家日常训练的任务。我们球队还有来自哈萨克斯坦、乌克兰、俄罗斯的同学，大家虽然来自不同的国家，有着不同的语言和文化，但是在排球场上，我们很快融合到了一起，排球成了我们增进理解的纽带，使得我们能够为共同目标而拼搏。在2018年学校的排球联赛中，我们互相配合、相互鼓励，通过一个个精彩的扣球、拦网，奉献了一场场精彩的比赛，最终获得了全校第二名的好成绩。我们的努力表现也赢得了很多中国学生的称赞，大家纷纷竖起大拇指，这一刻真的感谢排球这项体育运动，使我们在异国他乡真切感受到了“体育无国界”这句话的意义。
我的运动能力得到了老师的肯定，因此也获得了很多参加校外体育比赛的机会。2018年在盐城大洋湾生态旅游景区，我们组队参加了“我家在盐城——国际友好人士公园定向赛”，与来自俄罗斯、韩国、南非、哈萨克斯坦等“一带一路”沿线10个国家的60余名选手同场竞技，我们协同完成了袋鼠跳、吸管接力、双人跳绳等站点任务，并在公园里寻找印有“我”“家”“在”“盐”“城”等字样的手旗，最终我们组在最短的时间内完成了任务，取得了大赛的第一名，获得了非常有纪念意义的奖牌和证书。这个活动加深了我们对生态盐城、美丽盐城的感知，促进了我们留学生与在盐城学习和工作的国际人士的交往。
最让我自豪和骄傲的事情发生在2019年，我和学校另外7名留学生组成了盐城市代表队，在美丽的苏州东山参加了“悦动江苏，结谊五洲——在江苏外国人定向越野大赛”。比赛是在茶园中寻宝，非常有趣和刺激，比赛中我校来自哈萨克斯坦的冷洋同学在最后冲刺阶段摔倒，造成皮肤擦伤，现场的医护人员非常及时地对他进行了包扎治疗，这次虽然没有取得理想的成绩，但是我们仍然表现出了永不言弃的体育精神，也结识了更多在江苏的各国朋友，同时还领略到了苏州这座现代与古典相交融的城市的魅力，这次比赛的经历将永远留在我的记忆中。

在来到中国三年多的时间里，我虽然没有机会和我的偶像朱婷合影，但看到中国女排以十一连胜的佳绩取得女排世界杯冠军的那一刻，我也深深被中国女排永不言弃的精神所感动，发自内心地为中国女排喝彩，为我的偶像获得MVP而欢呼。运动，带给我的不仅仅是过五关斩六将、奋勇争先的激情，更像是给我打开了另一扇了解中国的窗户，使我在中国的留学生活更加丰富与精彩。
Sports Enrich My Study Life in China
［Kyrgyzstan］ Kanatbek Kyzy Aliza， Yancheng Polytechnic College
I come from Kyrgyzstan， a country on the ancient Silk Road． On the north side of the capital Bishkek there is a street named Zhibek－Joreh， which just means “Silk Road” in Chinese． There is also a “Deng Xiaoping Street” in our capital， which indicates that Kyrgyzstan has been following the example of China and taking the path of reform and opening up with its own characteristics． In recent years， more and more Chinese companies are investing in Kyrgyzstan， and there are more and more “Chinese marks” on the streets． Mastering Chinese means obtaining a good job in Chinese－invested companies． My father， a fruit businessman who exports fruits to Kazakhstan and Russia， used to say to me half－jokingly， “Do you want to learn Chinese？ In the future， you can export our high－quality fruits to China．” In 2017 I finally got the opportunity to study international business at Yancheng Polytechnic College．
I have been fond of sports since childhood， especially running and volleyball． I joined the school volleyball team in S． Karalaiev Middle School． Through hard training， I won a main position of the team． Our team had won three city championships and I had been named the best player twice． I like to watch some international volleyball matches on TV or the internet． The Chinese women’s volleyball team greatly impressed me． The girls are always able to work together and fight hard． I always dream of taking a picture with my favorite volleyball player Zhu Ting．
Not long after I arrived at Yancheng Polytechnic College in Jiangsu Province， a sports meeting was held in the college． I registered for the 1，000－meter race and relay race and had very good achievements． Luckily， our School of International Education soon formed its own volleyball team， and I took the initiative to organize the daily training for everyone． We also had students from Kazakhstan， Ukraine， and Russia on our team． Although we came from different countries with different languages and cultures， we quickly united on the volleyball court， and volleyball became a bond of understanding that allowed us to fight for the same goals． In the college’s volleyball league in 2018， we co－operated and encouraged each other， and presented a wonderful game with our great dunking and blocking skills． We finally won the second place in the whole college． Our hard work won us a lot of praise from the Chinese students， who gave us thumbs－up． We really appreciated the sport of volleyball at that moment， which made us really understand the meaning of “sports without borders” in a foreign country．
My athletic ability has been recognized by my teachers， and therefore， I have been given many opportunities to participate in sports competitions outside of school． In 2018， in Dayang Bay Ecological Tourist Area of Yancheng， we formed a team to participate in the “My Family in Yancheng – International Friendship Park Orienteering Competition” and competed with more than 60 players from 10 countries along the Belt and Road including Russia， South Korea， South Africa， Kazakhstan， etc． We completed the kangaroo jump， straw relay， double rope skipping and other tasks， and searched for flags printed with such Chinese characters as “我”， “家”， “在”， “盐”， “城”（My home is at Yancheng） around the park． Finally， our group completed the task in the shortest time and won the first place in the competition． We were awarded a medal and a certificate， which were very meaningful． This activity deepened our perception of “ecological Yancheng， beautiful Yancheng”， promoted the communication between our international students and other international friends studying and working in Yancheng．
The proudest thing happened in 2019． Seven other international students and I formed the Yancheng representative team and participated in a competition named “Joyful Jiangsu， Befriending Five Continents – Foreigners in Jiangsu Orienteering Cross－country Competition” in the beautiful Dongshan of Suzhou city． The competition was a treasure hunt in the tea garden， which was very interesting and exciting． During the competition， my schoolmate Leng Yang from Kazakhstan fell down in the final sprinting and had skin abrasions， which received very timely treatment from the medical staff on site． Although we did not achieve the desired result this time， we still showed the sportsmanship of never giving up． We also made more friends from different countries in Jiangsu and appreciated the charm of Suzhou， a city where modernity and classicality meet． The experiences from this competition will stay in my memory forever．
Although I haven’t had a chance to take a photo with my idol Zhu Ting during my three years in China， I was deeply moved by the never－give－up spirit of the Chinese women’s volleyball team when I saw them win the Women’s Volleyball World Cup with 11 consecutive victories． I cheered from my heart for the Chinese women’s volleyball team and for my idol winning the MVP． What sports give me is not only the passion of overcoming obstacles and striving for the top， but also another window of understanding China， which have made my life in China richer and better．
