中新社北京9月22日电 题:中美之间需要更多“鼓岭缘”“飞虎队”“赛考斯”

中新社记者 曾玥

在美国家中种下两株绿植,两旁插上美中两国国旗——重访中国后不久,美国友人“赛考斯”(本名罗纳德·萨科尔斯基)便兑现了在华期间许下的承诺。他说,“我想向邻居们表明,我们可以搭建一座桥。”

一个多世纪以来,从“鼓岭缘”“飞虎队”到“赛考斯”,一段段中美人民相识相交的故事融入共同记忆,印证着民间友好搭桥铺路的力量。

民间友好,植根于中美人民的交往史。

百余年前,福建鼓岭曾是加德纳家族等几代美国人深深眷恋的异国故园,后人几度踏访寻根,为“鼓岭情缘”续写动人篇章;抗战岁月,一大批美国青年飞行员远渡重洋与中国军民并肩作战,在共同抗击法西斯侵略的战火中结下深厚情谊;55年前,“乒乓外交”以“小球转动大球”,拉开了中美关系改善和发展的历史序幕……

从历史深处走来,中美人民的友好交往从未中断,真诚与善意一次次跨山越海,成为连接两国的纽带。

国之交在于民相亲。这些以心相交的故事,见证中美人民在双向奔赴中增进理解、在彼此尊重中求同存异。

民间友好,正为中美关系注入不竭动力。

时至今日,中美友好情谊代代相传、生生不息。一代代老朋友的相守,让两国情谊历久弥坚。与此同时,友谊的接力棒也传到了新朋友手中。

自2023年11月中方提出“5年邀请5万名美国青少年来华交流学习”倡议以来,已有超过5万名美国青少年来华参访。越来越多年轻的身影走进街头巷尾、田间地头,在亲身体验中认识一个真实、立体、全面的中国。

眼下,民间交往的形式更加多元。从太平洋两岸“数字原住民”在社交平台“打成一片”,到美国网红“甲亢哥”在华直播火爆全网、“成为中国人”在美掀起中式生活热潮,真实感受正成为跨越认知壁垒和文化隔阂的共通语言。

当两国民众带着好奇和好感走近彼此,中美之间的互信和理解便在点滴交往中有了更多具体支撑,为中美关系这艘大船穿越风浪、平稳前行提供坚实力量。

民间友好,是中美关系行稳致远的源头活水。

“如果一位生活在中国沙漠里的女士,能遇到一位普通的美国历史老师,而我们两个人能一起创造出一片森林,那还有什么是不可能的?”

“赛考斯”的话,道出了民间交往的可贵之处:正是在鲜活的相遇与心灵的共鸣之中,中美人民相知相亲,携手开创更多可能,促进两国关系行稳致远。

中美关系希望在人民,基础在民间,未来在青年。

应美国总统特朗普邀请,中国国家主席习近平将于9月23日至25日对美国进行国事访问。此访前夕,习近平复信美国10所高校青年学生,寄语两国青年“努力成为中美友好合作的传承者、维护者、发展者”。

放眼未来,中美之间需要更多“鼓岭缘”“飞虎队”“赛考斯”。当“鼓岭故事”牵起新的情缘,当“飞虎精神”薪火相传,当“赛考斯”的故事不断引发回响,中美民间友好的涓涓细流,终将汇聚成推动中美关系乃至世界发展的强大力量。

Russia imposes temporary traffic controls at Estonian border, sparking mobilization speculation

Russia has implemented temporary traffic control in the two administrative districts of Slanci and Kingisep in Leningrad Oblast on the border with Estonia, restricting movement at night and prohibiting entry into specific sections of the Narva River. The measures will be implemented from the 16th to the 26th. The Estonian government said it was closely monitoring the situation but that there was no immediate threat. There is speculation that this move may be related to a new wave of mobilization in Russia, especially when rumors of mobilization after the Russian parliamentary election are rampant.
