On the first day of the Lunar New Year of the Tiger, Li Tianyu slept until he woke up naturally, skillfully laid a plate of dumplings for lunch, and while eating, he replied to the New Year greetings sent by relatives and friends in WeChat. He has been in China for three years, this is the first Spring Festival in Bengbu, and the diet is already a Chinese stomach. "Dumplings are one of my favorite Chinese delicacies, as well as hot pot and tangyuan, all of which are delicious." For dumplings, Li Tianyu's evaluation is "delicious and not good to wrap".
Although he has a Chinese name "Li Tianyu", he is a foreigner with uncompromising eyes and nose. The young man is from Hungary, and after studying at Roland University for two years Chinese, he came to China to study in 2019. He studied at Tsinghua University and Donghua University for a while, and began teaching Hungarian at Bengbu College last year. "Bengbu is a quiet and calm city, very suitable for life."
Since calling China, Li Tianyu has been to Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Tianjin, Hefei and other cities. Because he loves Chinese culture and customs, Li Tianyu rides a "little electric donkey" without a problem. When he arrived in Bengbu, Zhanggong Mountain Scenic Area and Qiyan Temple were all places where he often went to punch cards. And the "Dianping" is his tour guide. No, Bengbu's intangible cultural heritage, the Snow Garden Wonton, has "planted grass" in his heart again, and he plans to taste the famous Mixed Soup Lantern as soon as the door opens after the festival.
"Chinese was very friendly, and the teachers and students of Bengbu College took good care of me, sending me greeting messages and gifts. I also like Chinese culture. In particular, there are many places of interest and places of interest, and there are surprises everywhere. Looking at his circle of friends, "Chinese elements" are everywhere, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the ice sugar gourd, the New Year paintings, and the couplets, all of which make him curious and yearning. If you catch the exhibition of traditional culture in the museum, it is even more necessary to punch the clock.
Just from the text exchange on WeChat, Li Tianyu's expression has been no different from Chinese. He modestly said that the accent was not only true, often revealing the Expression of Hungarian. In fact, Li Tianyu belongs to the "Xueba" level, in addition to his mother's language Hungarian, he can also speak English and German, and learn Chinese while also learning Korean. Even now teaching at Bengbu College, he still takes online courses at Donghua University every morning, and usually squeezes time out to participate in various competitions and compete with players from all over the world. "Because I was very interested, I looked for opportunities to communicate with Chinese in Hungary, but I still came to China, and the language, culture, and food were authentic, which was worth the trip." This year, Li Tianyu also cooperated with the Chinese Embassy in Hungary to shoot a series of videos of "Tianyu's New Year in China" to introduce his beloved hot pot, tangyuan and other delicacies to his "fathers and fellow countrymen".
Because of the impact of the epidemic, Li Tianyu has not returned home since coming to China. Fortunately, the friendliness and food of the Chinese soothe the homesickness. "It's a pleasure to work and live in Bengbu, so many delicious food, let me linger." Li Tianyu said with a smile.
