China Daily Network 9, September 1, In the second season of the third episode of the second and second episode of "The Strike of the Straits" by China Daily, we met Zheng Yaling, a sweet girl from Chiayi, Taiwan. When everyone sat together to talk about local dialects, the quirky and quirky she played the role of a Taiwanese TV series "drama" and spoke a Taiwanese accent, which made everyone laugh; but when talking about the mainland's study experience and cross-strait relations, her sincere and optimistic attitude left a deep impression on everyone.
inherited the wish of stepmother and studied Yuelu
"Why did you choose to study in the mainland?" Faced with the host's curious question, Zheng Yaling replied: "First of all, because I think the mainland has more opportunities, and secondly, it is influenced by her mother."
It turns out that Zheng Yaling's mother is a fan of Taiwanese writer and host Wu Danru , and Wu Danru once studied in the doctoral class of Yuelu Academy at Hunan University, so she hopes that Yaling can also follow her idol's footsteps to " Thousand-year School Institution " and one of the "Four Major Academic Academic Academics" in China - Yuelu Academy .
comes with anxiety, harvesting warmth and returning
When I received the admission notice from Hunan University , Yaling also received confusion and opposition from the middle school around me.
"Why don't you stay in Taiwan to study?"
"Why do you go so far?"
"Are you used to eating such spicy Hunan cuisine?"
"What should you do if you miss home?"
"What should you do if you regret it?"
"What should you do if you regret it?"
Unknown and anxiety filled her mind before leaving, but fortunately, after coming to the mainland, I spent a very wonderful time studying and living at Hunan University.
"What surprised me was that I adapted to the new life faster than I imagined. Thanks to the new students' military training, allowing me and the new classmates to share the joys and sorrows in high-intensity training. We learned how to fold the quilt into "tofu blocks"; we swore in the scorching sun, standing together, and persevering to the end, no matter how hard or tired we were, we sang military songs and sang our perseverance and determination to strive to be the best. This is one of the most unforgettable memories of my university life."
At school, the care and company of friends and teachers dispel the homesickness of Yaling.
"I am harmonious and friendly with my roommates and inspire each other. The roommates taught me how to type Chinese pinyin on the keyboard, how to write simplified Chinese characters, and how to understand the dialect and accents of different parts of China. Now I can distinguish between Shanghai dialect, Wuhan dialect and Sichuan dialect ."
Zheng Yaling's speech in "Youth Reception Room"
Every time I return to school after the winter and summer vacations, Yaling can always taste the food brought by her roommates from her hometown; on her birthday, friends will gather together to quietly prepare surprises and gifts for her; during traditional festivals, the teacher will invite her to have a reunion dinner at home. At Hunan University, Yaling gained a lot of warmth and precious friendship.
sets towards dreams and bravely shoulders the mission of youth
"Hunan University is not only a warm home, but also a place where I can dream, run, and grow up healthily."
As a speech enthusiast, Yaling participated in many English speech competitions and simulation United Nations activities, and once won the outstanding delegation award of the Asian International Simulation United Nations; as a music enthusiast, Yaling participated in the campus competition with her partner from Inner Mongolia, won the Top Ten Singer Award at Hunan University, and also led the school song in front of tens of thousands of teachers and students. "His rough voice from Hulunbuir grassland complements my crisp voice from Alishan ."
The world outside the school is also very broad. During the summer vacation, Yaling went to many places to appreciate the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland."In Ningxia, I explored the mysterious desert and witnessed how the residents there got rid of poverty and became rich; in Yunnan, I felt the unique culture of different ethnic groups; in Beijing, I visited the Forbidden City and the Bird's Nest; in Fujian, I was very happy to see that this brother province has such a similar customs and culture as Taiwan."
Two years have passed, and now Yaling proudly stands in front of the camera and tells everyone that her choice is correct. "I have never regretted choosing Hunan University, I have never regretted studying in the mainland, I have never regretted it."
"In the mainland, I have broadened my horizons and enriched my life experience; in the mainland, I have seen unlimited opportunities and possibilities. I can serve as the host to host grand events on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and become a language ambassador, so that the whole world can hear my voice; in the mainland, I have become positive and optimistic, working hard, and brave to pursue my dreams."
Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have the same roots, the same language and species. Chinese culture is the root and belonging of the souls of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, a common precious spiritual wealth, a continuous inheritance flowing in the blood and engraved in the genes, and culture can transcend time, space and region. For the children on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the mainland is the hometown; for the younger generation, it is a dream-fulfilling place for running and growing.
"We are volunteers and communicators, and bridges of communication and cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. We need to work together to promote cross-strait cultural exchanges." As a generation Z Yaling, like many Taiwanese youth, is eager to "eliminate misunderstandings of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and bring true and fair information back to their hometown." We hope that they will assume national responsibilities, keep in mind the historical mission, cherish their youth, live a wonderful life, and set sail on the right waterway!
