名为“中国”的家

［新加坡］ 路心然 北京大学

辜鸿铭曾说过：“中国人身上有任何民族都没有的，难以言喻的东西，那就是温良。温良，不是温顺，更不是懦弱，温良是一种力量，是一种同情和人类智慧的力量”。我对这句话深有感触。作为一名新加坡籍华裔，我从小就很喜欢中国，父母在中国做生意又给我提供了便利条件，让我放假就会来到中国，游山玩水，感受不同的人文文化。高中毕业考大学，经过一番深思熟虑，我果断选择了北京大学医学部，并一路过关斩将成为一名获得中国政府奖学金的留学生。我非常感恩，时常有人会问我，中国对我意味着什么？我每次都自豪地回答，中国是我的第二个家，是可以给我带来温暖，带来幸福，让我觉得无比安全的家！

我的这个家很“大”，大到让我向左看可以看到田里的麦子，向右看又能看到都市里的高楼；大到让我每走一步都能对变化的环境产生新鲜感；大到让我把环游世界的梦想改成了环游中国。这个家让我敬佩的不仅仅是面积的辽阔，还有他们的面面俱到。我亲眼看到了中国政府在扶贫方面所做的点点滴滴，使之成为首个完成联合国千年发展目标中减贫目标的发展中国家。从以前的小规模扶贫，到大规模扶贫，再到今天的精准式扶贫，扶贫工作成效显著。看到新闻里那一张张笑脸，我真真切切感受到了一股强大的力量。虽然中国人口多，面积大，但是每一个人都没有被遗忘，每一个人都在并肩作战向前奔去。

我的这个家很“快”。不论是科技的发展，还是技术的进步，都让在中国生活的我感受到了极大的便利。这种便利让我节省了许多时间，让我的生活变“快”了。支付宝让我可以只需要带一个手机便可轻松出门，省去了带钱包的麻烦。日常的快递、外卖都给予了我极大的便利，让我足不出户就可以在宿舍享受生活。在交通方面，共享服务给予了我们便利。不论何时何处，每条道路上都会有共享单车，而我再也没有交通工具的烦恼。偏远地区或是特困地区，人们能用最低1元的票价搭乘列车。这样的中国铁路列车共有81列。而事实上，这些列车因为投入和维护成本高造成亏损状态，但它们依然穿梭在各个山区，翻山越岭，承载着许多村民的笑脸。我也很荣幸可以亲眼见证神州十二号载人飞船的成功发射，这代表着中国航天事业发展的卓越进步，也让我对中国充满信心。

我的这个家很“强”。2021年是特殊的一年，这一年里我们全世界人民都遭受到了突如其来的病毒侵袭。但是2021年也是让我感叹于“中国速度”的一年。从一开始对未知病毒的恐惧慌乱，到迅速的应对措施，再到如今的正常恢复。这期间，中国做出了许多旁人认为做不到的事情，比如令众人敬佩的火神山医院。在疫情最严重的时候，中国仅仅用了十天左右的时间便成功建造了供病人隔离的火神山医院。当时的我，因为疫情关系并没有回到中国上课。当我在新闻上看到时，惊讶之余更是强烈的震撼和敬佩，这也让当时担心疫情的我得到了巨大的安慰。再回到现在的稳定期，截至目前，中国已经接种了近11亿剂疫苗，占据了全世界注射量的40％，并且中国还向其他国家提供了4亿剂疫苗。这让回到校园上课的我感受到了无比的安全。

当然，让我最开心的还是在2021年6月21日，我们北大留学生们收到了来自中共中央总书记、国家主席习近平给我们的回信！他在信上鼓励我们要多到中国各地走走看看，更加深入地了解真实的中国，把想法和体会介绍给中国足彩在线：的人。新加坡是“一带一路”沿线国家，作为一名北大的新加坡留学生，我一定听从习总书记的话，将中国人民的温良带回我的国家，将自己在中国的学习生活分享给中国足彩在线：的人，让各国的朋友都对中国有更深刻的认识，为促进各国人民民心相通发挥积极作用。

我爱中国，我爱这个名为“中国”的家。

A Home Called “China”

［Singapore］ Cecilia Lu Xinran， Peking University

Famous Chinese scholar Ku Hung－ming once said， “There is something unique in Chinese people that no other ethnic groups have – meekness． Meekness is not compliance， nor cowardice． Meekness represents a kind of strength， a kind of compassion and human wisdom．” I am deeply touched by this statement． As a Singaporean Chinese， I have loved China since I was a child． My parents’ business in China has provided me opportunities to come to China during my holidays to travel and experience different cultures． After graduating from high school， I chose the Medical Department of Peking University after careful consideration， and became a scholarship recipient from the Chinese government after beating other competitors． I feel very grateful， and I am often asked what China means to me． I always answer proudly that China is my second home， which brings me warmth， happiness and feeling of security！

This home is so “big” that I can see the rice fields on my left and high－rising buildings on my right in the city． So big that I can feel new to the changing environment every time when I move around； So big that I have changed my dream of traveling around the world to traveling around China． What I admire about this big family is not only its vastness of space， but also its development in every aspect． I have seen with my own eyes what the Chinese government had done to alleviate poverty and become the first developing country to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals． From small－scale poverty alleviation in the past， to large－scale anti－poverty campaign， to today’s precise poverty alleviation， the poverty alleviation work has been effective． Seeing the smiling faces in the news， I really felt a strong force of the nation． Although there are so many people in the vast China， every person is not forgotten and all people are running forward side by side．

This home is very “fast”． Thanks to the development of technology， living in China has been extremely convenient for me． This convenience has saved me a lot of time and made my life “faster．” Alipay has made it easy for us to leave the house with just a cell phone， saving the trouble to carry a wallet． Daily delivery and take－outs are so convenient that I can enjoy my life in the dormitory without leaving home． In terms of transportation， shared services are convenient for us． A shared bike can be used on every road in the city， and I no longer have to worry about transportation problem． Even in remote mountain areas or poverty－stricken regions， people can take the train for 1 yuan – there are 81 such trains on the Chinese railroad． Though these trains are losing money due to the high cost of investment and maintenance， but they still travel through the mountain regions， carrying the smiling faces of many villagers． I am also honored to witness the successful launch of the Shenzhou XII manned spacecraft with my own eyes， which represents the remarkable progress in the development of China’s aerospace industry and gives me great confidence in the nation．

This home is “strong”． The year of 2021 is a special one， in which people around the world have suffered from a sudden virus attack． But it is also a year that I was surprised by the “speed of China”． From the initial fear and panic about the unknown virus， to the rapid response and to the fast recovery， China has done many things that people thought it could not do． One example is the construction of Huoshenshan Hospital． At the height of the epidemic， it only took China 10 days to build the hospital used for the quarantine of patients． At that time， I did not return to China to attend classes because of the epidemic． When I read about it on the news， I was surprised and impressed by it． It was also a huge relief to me， who was concerned about the epidemic at the time． To tame the pandemic， China has administered more than 1．1 billion doses of vaccines so far， accounting for 40 percent of the world’s injections． It has also provided 400 million doses of vaccines to other countries． This makes me feel safer when I go back to school to continue my study．

Moreover， the happiest thing happened on June 21 when international students at the Peking University received a letter from General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and Chinese President Xi Jinping． In his letter， Xi encourages us to pay a visit to more places in China， to have a deeper understanding of the real China and to introduce our ideas and experiences to more people． As a Peking University student from Singapore， a country along the Belt and Road routes， I will remember the words of General Secretary Xi， bring the meekness of Chinese people back to my home country， share my study experiences in China with more people， let people from other countries have a deeper understanding of China and play an active role in promoting friendship between people of different countries．

I love China， which is my second home．
