In today's world, countries are interconnected and interdependent, cross-cultural exchanges are becoming increasingly close, and international communication has profoundly affected the shaping of national image. Storytelling is the best way to spread internationally. An important aspect of telling Chinese stories well is to tell Chinese stories well for students studying in China. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his reply to the students of Peking University: "You are welcome to go around China to take a closer look, to understand the real China more deeply, and at the same time to introduce your ideas and experiences to more people, so as to play an active role in promoting people-to-people ties between people and people in all countries." In reply to the reply to all Pakistani students at the University of Science and Technology Beijing, he pointed out: "China welcomes outstanding young people from all over the world to study in China for further study, and also hopes that everyone will learn more about China and tell the world more about the China you see." International students in China are not only listeners of Chinese stories, but also storytellers of Chinese stories. We can tell Chinese stories well according to the characteristics of international students in China, display China's image, convey Chinese voices, explain Chinese spirit, and show Chinese style, so that the majority of students studying in China can become the disseminators of Chinese stories and the messengers of Sino-foreign cultural exchanges.
To understand today's China, we must understand the Chinese Communist Party. The most wonderful theme of the Chinese story is to explain clearly why the Chinese Communist Party can do it, why Marxism works, and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good. It is necessary to take the initiative to publicize Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and take the initiative to tell the story of the CPC's governance of the country, the story of the struggle of the Chinese people to realize their dreams, and the story of China's adherence to peaceful development and win-win cooperation. The Communist Party of China has united and led the Chinese people to struggle unremittingly, and has written the most magnificent epic poem in the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, which has not only profoundly changed the fate of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, but also profoundly affected the world and made great contributions to promoting world peace and development. We must be good at using vivid facts and detailed data to talk well about the historical contributions made by the CPC over the past hundred years of arduous struggle to the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and to the development and progress of mankind, so that students studying abroad can know "China in development," "China in opening up," and "China that has contributed to mankind." Embed the truth in the story, not only let the international students see the brilliant achievements of the Communist Party of China and China, but also explore the "code" of the Chinese Communist Party and China's brilliant achievements from the original mission of the Communist Party of China, the feelings of the people, and the feelings of the world.
The strong interest in Chinese culture is an important reason for many international students to study in China. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Chinese culture has a long history, accumulating the deepest spiritual pursuit of the Chinese nation, representing the unique spiritual identity of the Chinese nation, and providing rich nourishment for the endless development and growth of the Chinese nation." "We must fully tap the profound history and culture of the Chinese nation and make it a rich resource for telling Chinese stories well." Not only to show the beauty of Chinese culture from the level of utensils, but also to show the charm of Chinese culture from the level of value; not only to talk about the nationality and uniqueness of Chinese culture, but also to talk about the openness and inclusiveness of Chinese culture. From the perspective of cultural inheritance and development, we should talk about the essence of China's excellent traditional culture and show the values and spiritual outlook of contemporary Chinese. He is good at showing the vivid picture of the reform and development of contemporary Chinese society with the stories of ordinary people and the land of small views, so that international students can understand the real situation of today's Chinese society. For example, in recent years, the popular films such as "My Motherland and Me", "My Hometown and Me", and "My Father and I" vividly reflect the spirit of Chinese patriotic dedication, positive and persistent pursuit of dreams, leaving a deep impression on many international students.
Only by making great efforts in the ways and methods of "telling" can we tell the Chinese story well. In that year, Premier Zhou Enlai used "China's Romeo and Juliet" to introduce the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai to international friends, which made the audience have a strong emotional resonance. Some international students have come to China for a short time and the level of Chinese is not high, so they can pay more attention to the image, facts, and emotions, and use easy-to-understand words and methods of good inducement. For international students who have a certain Chinese foundation and a certain degree of understanding of Chinese culture, they can combine "expressing feelings" and "reasoning" through the blending of reason, and continuously enhance their understanding and recognition of the Chinese road and the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind. At the same time, it is necessary to accurately grasp the cultural background of different international students, and use their easy-to-accept ways to tell Chinese stories well, so that they want to listen to love, listen to and think, listen to and listen, and enhance the affinity and effectiveness of storytelling.
