作者 董易鑫 陈蓓蓓
每周固定时间,浙江省义乌市金城社区的中文班都会准时开课:大到40多岁的外商、小到4岁的外籍宝宝都坐在同一个课堂上“咿呀学语”,授课的是社区志愿者。
义乌被称为“世界超市”,超210万种商品发往全球230多个国家和地区,吸引数万名外籍人士常居于此。
以金城社区为例,该社区长期居住着600多名外籍居民。2018年,该社区应居民需求开设中文班。课程免费,但参加者需要以志愿服务时长兑换学习机会。
“我们希望大家不仅来社区学中文,也能通过参加邻里互助服务活动,多认识一些邻居。”金城社区党委书记虞晶晶说。

时间一长,这种“以服务换学习”的邻里互助方式慢慢有了变化。
来自叙利亚的社区居民麦克(Mike)既从事外贸生意,也是一名外籍演员。工作之余,他选择为社区的孩子们开设公益表演体验课。来自俄罗斯的社区居民娜雅(Anastasia)学习中文后,主动提出希望在社区开设俄语公益教学,不少中外居民闻讯而来,社区学习氛围日渐浓厚。
“我对中国方言很感兴趣,社区给了我一个了解、学习的机会。”来自印度的社区居民李茉莉(Sejal)说,自己和邻居聊天时,常常会追问当地的一些方言是什么意思,也会和大家分享自己国家的语言和文化。
如今,金城社区参与度较高的活动是“一勺米”公益活动。
每逢腊八、端午等中国传统节日,中外居民代表都会提着米袋,敲开邻居家的门,请对方捐出一勺米或其他食材。随后,不同国籍的居民会把食材汇聚起来,再熬成腊八粥或是包成粽子,分送给社区居民。
“大家捐的不只是食材,更重要的是有了一个认识邻居、参与社区生活的机会,原本互不相识的人也因此有了更多‘搭把手’的互助机会。”虞晶晶说。(完)

At 6:50 this morning at the intersection of Zhangshui Road and Zhongshan Road, Xiushui Township, Changhua County, students were waiting to cross the road at the zebra crossing, but five consecutive vehicles failed to yield to pedestrians.
