不止有古老,更有现代
本届孔子文化周打破传统座谈交流模式,以实景体验搭建沟通桥梁,行程兼具人文厚度与科技温度。活动期间,中外青年师生在山东理工职业学院以匹克球联谊竞技,同时沉浸式体验面塑、剪纸、糖画等非遗技艺,近距离触摸中华优秀传统文化。
研学之旅中,中外青年师生走进尼山圣境,溯源儒家文化根脉;探访济宁机器人产业园,实地观摩智能制造产业发展成果。在场景切换中,让海外青年跳出刻板印象,读懂多元立体的当代中国。
马来西亚留学生符晏维坦言,此次济宁之行让她领略到中国城市的独特气质。“上午沉浸在千年儒家文化中,下午邂逅前沿科技,传统文化与现代科技在这里完美交融,带给我极大的震撼。中国各地风貌各异、文化底蕴丰厚,这是我热爱中国的重要原因之一。”
从孔庙古建的千年文脉,到智能制造的产业革新;从非遗技艺的匠心传承,到校园青春的鲜活朝气,真实的中国,始终兼具历史底蕴与时代活力。而文明互鉴的根基,正在于亲眼所见、亲身所感的真实认知。
不止有口号,更有细节
“世界青年说”活动27日下午在济宁举行,中外青年师生跳出宏大叙事,以身边小事为切入点,分享跨国交往的温暖瞬间与多元文化的独特魅力。

苏丹留学生默罕默德接受记者采访时表示,匹克球上手难度较高,他时常出现击球失误、球飞出界外的情况。球场上,中国学生主动帮忙捡球、给予鼓励,细微的善意让他倍感温暖。“青年是文化交流的桥梁,而桥梁的意义在于互通。我们留学生要主动传递真实的中国信息,让这座桥梁真正发挥作用。”
山东理工职业学院的中国学生张旭晨也在交流中收获了珍贵的跨国友谊。活动期间,她与俄罗斯留学生粉兰妮、突尼斯留学生何映月一见如故,在运动场上互赠礼物。“我特意准备了云南鲜花饼和苹果送给她们。送鲜花饼寓意她们像花一样甜美可爱,送苹果则祝愿她们平安返程。”
在尼山圣境参访时,何映月对中式古建筑表现出浓厚兴趣,并将突尼斯的建筑特色与地域文化分享给张旭晨。“我认为,这种双向奔赴的文化探索,正是‘和而不同’的生动体现。”张旭晨说。
活动期间,中外青年师生交流没有停留在“友谊长存”“文明互鉴”等宏大词汇上,而是把交流还原为可感可知的日常。一场球赛、一份礼物、一次共情、一场探讨,让文明互鉴褪去抽象概念的外衣,化为跨国青年心间真切的认同。
不止在现场,更在世界
28日下午,本届孔子文化周在山东理工职业学院落幕。四天的线下相聚虽已结束,但中外青年师生的文化交流、情谊联结并未止步。
塞尔维亚留学生叶琳娜表示,此次活动有许多美好瞬间,让她进一步读懂了儒家文化与当代中国。“返程后,我将通过社交媒体分享此次活动的照片和短视频,向家人和海外网友讲述真实的中国故事。”
“儒家思想的魅力值得被世界看见,相比于口头宣讲,亲身经历、真实分享更有说服力。”叶琳娜说,海外青年身在中国,最适合以亲身见闻传递善意,讲述“美美与共”的故事。
为期四天的孔子文化周,时间不长,但安排紧凑、内容具体,中外青年师生在共同体验中增进理解,在具体对话中建立友谊。当各国青年带着此次见闻与思考回到学校、回到家乡,他们带走的不仅是一段经历,更是一颗颗在未来生根发芽的跨国友谊种子。(完)

The Chinese education department requires ninth-grade students across the country to read the British classic novel "Jane Eyre" in its entirety this fall semester. State media described the book as an anti-materialist love story that fits the government's vision for women's equality. Since the novel was first translated into China in 1925, it has gone through many translations and adaptations, and was re-introduced after the Cultural Revolution in 1979. Scholar Zhu Ping pointed out that although the novel was progressive in the 19th century, its feminist views were limited and did not conform to the claims of contemporary movements such as #MeToo. In recent years, the Chinese government has also restricted other types of love narratives, such as Danmei novels and tycoon love mini-series.
