I believe that everyone can feel that since entering the new century, our country's economy has finally begun to take off.
At the same time, the mainland's "cultural output" has also developed rapidly.
Remember that in the not-so-distant twentieth century, foreigners mentioned China, and basically only Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan could think of.
However, since entering the new century, the music, movies, and even online texts on the mainland have been published.
All of them have spread rapidly to the whole world through the east wind of the Internet.
At the same time, the people of the world have a better understanding of our country.
Sometimes, we have to say that cultural exports do have a huge impact on a country.
For example, the Serbian girl Yelena in our text,
It was because she was fascinated by the traditional "martial arts drama" of the mainland that she completely fell in love with China.
Not only that, this Serbian girl who was born with a stutter, after being persuaded by the school to quit, actually taught herself Chinese by "copying lyrics".
She also became a "Chinese god", and she also completely cured her stuttering problem through Chinese.
"For some reason, as long as I speak Chinese, I don't stutter at all."
The girl used to say this to her friends around her with great pride.
Even the girl's parents shook their heads and said with some tears:
"Yelena, you really cast the wrong fetus, in the last life, you were definitely a down-to-earth Chinese."
Now, 7 years later, the one who likes to watch the broken waves in "Wind and Cloud" and likes to listen to Jay Chou's songs,
01
Yelena was born in Serbia in 1995 to an ordinary rural family.
Her father, an ordinary plumber, and her mother, in order to take care of the children,
Coupled with the fact that his health was not very good, he was at home and became a full-time mother.
For decades, I didn't go out to work.
In addition to her parents, Yelena has two younger brothers.
Because the mother could not go out to work, the huge pressure of life was all on the father alone.
Therefore, Yelena's childhood life was very poor.
But at the same time, they are a family of five, and they are very happy.
Although his father's income was not high, the family could never afford to buy beautiful clothes.
Can't afford decent toys, but Yelena's parents are very fond of their three children.
Especially for the well-behaved and sensible daughter, the parents are even more protective.
In their family, there was never a patriarchal argument, and the father often even warned his two younger brothers:
"You are men, and you must work with your father to protect your mother and sister!"
Under this enlightened and relaxed education, Yelena's childhood was happy and fulfilling.
However, she is a little girl after all, and sometimes, she will envy the beautiful clothes and expensive dolls of the friends in the class.
Whenever this happens, my mother will cut various colors of floral cloth from her old clothes.
Sewed a variety of rag dolls for her daughter.
This is a pure handmade product, compared with the dolls produced on the assembly line, it is even worse.
Whenever Yelena walked down the street with a rag doll in her arms, her friends would throw envious glances at her.
At this time, Yelena's heart, don't mention how happy.
Perhaps, in the heart of this young girl, parents, are Almighty God!
However, almighty parents can take care of their children's food and drink, which can bring happiness to their children.
But they can't afford the high tuition fees for kindergartens.
Therefore, Yelena did not start kindergarten until she was six years old.
You know, most of their peers, at the age of three, are already singing and dancing in the warm classroom of private kindergartens.
However, for all this, Yelena did not care at all,
Those children who enter kindergarten early, she will not envy at all.
Because, compared to singing in kindergarten,
Yelena prefers to stroll freely on the picturesque Danube River, running freely.
Until many years later, Yelena still said in her memories:
"In my childhood life, what I miss most is the river in my hometown.
The air by the river is always so fresh, and the scenery by the river is even more beautiful than in the painting. ”
In fact, not only Yelena, in each of our childhoods, compared to sitting in an empty and lonely classroom,
What we yearn for more is that in that endless nature,
Sing with the chirping birds in the treetops;
Run with butterflies dancing in the grass!
This is what childhood should look like.
02
However, as the saying goes, books, after all, are the ladder of human progress.
After all, people's life cannot live forever in childhood,
At the age of 6, Yelena successfully entered the public kindergarten.
In Serbia, 8 years of primary school, 4 years of secondary school, all free.
Although their country is not rich, it is still doing its best to help every school-age child learn cultural knowledge.
Because everyone in this country understands that only education, only talents, can strengthen the country.
If a country wants long-term peace and stability, it is absolutely inseparable from high-quality talents.
In fact, leaving Serbia aside, why is this not the case in our country?
It is precisely with the joint efforts of 1.4 billion Chinese people that the Chinese nation, which has suffered many disasters and difficulties, can always stand firm after 5,000 years of ups and downs.
We have reason to believe that in the near future, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be realized!
After entering the campus, Yelena's life is still carefree,
But, when she was 8 years old, for some reason, the girl of this optimistic and cheerful girl suddenly had a stutter.
Stuttering, which is what we often call "stuttering.".
In the beginning, she would only stutter when the teacher was asking questions in class, when the spirit was highly tense,
As soon as you return home, as soon as your spirit relaxes, you can return to normal immediately.
However, with the passage of time, Yelena's stuttering problem, instead of slowing down, became more and more severe.
Until the sixth grade of elementary school, the original optimistic and cheerful, very talkative girl disappeared.
Yelena, who was severely stuttering, gradually became reticent, and she could even sit in her classroom seat all day without saying a word.
After a long time, some naughty classmates in the class looked at this beautiful girl, often did not say a word, and laughed at her as a "dumb girl".
After hearing this name, Yelena cried sadly, and at this moment, Yelena wanted to tell her classmates who laughed at her:
"I'm not dumb, I'm not dumb!"
But now her stuttering sickness is so severe that even these few words can't be spoken in its entirety.
In the long run, Yelena became very autistic, however, at this moment, this beautiful girl must not know,
Because of stuttering, she and the mysterious eastern power are about to start a wonderful fate...
03
I remember that it was an ordinary afternoon when I was 13 years old, and the warm river breeze drifted leisurely through the scenic small mountain village.
Yelena came home from school, and after lunch, she turned on the TV in a daze and aimlessly adjusted the stage.
Suddenly, several big characters of "Seeking Hegemony in the World" came into view.
What kind of drama is this? Yelena had never seen her in 13 years.
She didn't have time to think about it too much, but the interpretation of the TV series was in full swing.
"Wind God Legs", "Cloud Palm", "Three Points Return to Yuanqi", Fire Lin Sword, Snow Drinking Sword, and Peerless Good Sword appeared in turn,
As the TV series continues to air, this Serbian girl has become mesmerized!
After the episode ended, Yelena took advantage of the advertising time and immediately ran to ask her father what kind of TV series it was.
Her father told her that this was a martial arts drama from the mysterious eastern power,
That country, with a history of five thousand years of civilization, its name is: China.
China, it's amazing.
At this moment, in the heart of the young girl, she is already full of infinite fantasies about distant China!
Yelena continued to ask her father, is Chinese kung fu really as strong as "Wind and Cloud"?
This sentence can make the father difficult,
We all know that in Yelena's heart, the Father is omniscient, the Almighty God,
However, what Exactly China looks like, and it is naturally not clear what china is like, and the father who has never left Serbia in his life is not clear.
"That's right!" The father's heart suddenly flashed, and then he said to his daughter in a meaningful tone:
"Yelena, 'Wind and Clouds', in fact, is nothing, in the far East,
There is the most mysterious magic, which they call: Chinese Kung Fu.
Remember when your grandfather said that there was a temple somewhere in the mountains of China.
The monks in the temple are all martial arts masters, and one of them is a sweeping monk, who has lived for hundreds of years, and is the first in the world of kung fu, that is really powerful..."
Speaking of this, Yelena's father, finally put the story of China,
And once read a martial arts novel "Tianlong Babu" seamlessly,
So, the father and daughter duo, one of them talked about the flying eyebrows, and the other listened to it like a mesmerizing.
They have been talking about the Battle of Shaomu Mountain from the Battle of Shaomu Mountain to Xiao Feng sacrificing himself to righteousness outside Yanmen Pass.
By the time my father finished speaking, the sun had already quietly set, and the clear moonlight sprinkled all over the earth.
And that young girl, when she heard her father say that Xiao Feng had committed suicide, she was already crying tears.
She couldn't help but shout:
"Xiao Daxia, you don't want to die, Xiao Daxia, you don't want to die!"
At this time, the father caressed his beloved daughter's hair with doting and said to her:
"Daughter, although Xiao Daxia is dead, he has brought peace to his country,
In the future, if there is a chance, I hope that you and your two younger brothers can become the same big heroes as Xiao Daxia! ”
Hearing this, Yelena seemed to understand and nodded, at the same time, she also said firmly to her father:
"Dad, I want to go to China!"
Hearing that his daughter had made such a grand ambition at such a young age, the father blushed with excitement.
However, China, after all, is not Europe, where the night is not closed, the road is not left behind, the country is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Not everyone can go wherever they want.
At least in Serbia, only the best top talents,
There is only one in ten thousand chances to get on the through train to China.
"Yelena, if you want to go to China, you have to work a thousand times harder for this, are you really ready?"
The father asked with a serious look.
"Yes Dad, I've already thought about it, I must go to China!" No matter how much effort it takes, I'm willing! ”
Yelena looked into her father's eyes and nodded firmly again.
"Okay! Daughter, you are amazing! Dad will definitely help you! "In fact, to be able to travel to China, is it not Yelena's father's dream?"
However, once people reach middle age, many ideas in their youth finally have to be defeated forever to the harsh reality.
Three days later, the father took his daughter's hand and walked into the largest language training institution in the area.
At this training institute, there are three language crash courses in Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
Among them, the registration fee for Japanese and Korean is less than one-third of that of Chinese.
But even so, those who learn Chinese will still be able to accommodate hundreds of people in large classrooms, tightly packed,
The Japanese and Korean classes, on the other hand, are menkolo, in the words of a local youth:
"Stick country, just a little on the map, learn their language, what future can they have?"
04
However, reality is often much harsher than imagination.
Just a week later, Yelena was persuaded by her teacher to stutter and barely be able to utter a complete sentence!
At this time, Yelena had just exploded into a strong interest in learning Chinese.
On the day she was persuaded to leave by the teacher, Yelena stood at the school door, her hands crossed at her waist,
Speaking very blunt Chinese, he stuttered and said to everyone at the school:
"You missed a Chinese genius, you will regret it!"
After saying this, Yelena turned her head and went home.
Although she was rejected by the school, this stubborn girl still did not forget her dream of going to China.
Moreover, in order to go to China as soon as possible, she decided to teach herself Chinese.
Yes, you heard it right, this Serbian girl, who is only a teenager, decided to teach herself Chinese!
I believe that everyone should have a personal experience, Chinese, is the most complex language in the world.
In the middle school era, the paper with a full score of 150 points, the students who can get a full score in English, abound,
However, those who can score more than 120 points in chinese can basically become masters of the "Big God" level.
The Chinese people are still like this, let alone foreigners,
Chinese is too difficult, and it has effectively become the biggest barrier to prevent the vast number of foreign friends from going to China.
That's why we say that only the talents of the talents, the elite of the elite, can get tickets to China.
There is no doubt that the young girl Yelena is one of them.
In order to learn Chinese as soon as possible, she also created a complete set of "lines" and "lyrics" integrated learning methods.
The specific operation is also very simple, that is, to combine interests and hobbies,
In the process of watching TV dramas and listening to songs, learn Chinese pronunciation as well as some basic grammar.
So, for the next few years, Yelena used Serbian subtitles and held the translation dictionary,
I have watched "Wind and Cloud" more than a dozen times, in addition, there are also "Huan Zhu Gege" and many romance, martial arts film and television dramas.
More importantly, in order to better learn Chinese, she also saved money to buy all of Jay Chou's albums.
The reason for this is that she once overheard someone say: if you can understand Jay Chou's songs, you can successfully pass the Chinese level 8 exam.
We can't tell the truth of this matter, but what is certain is that
This Serbian girl was completely fascinated by the "Zhou style" because of this.
Since then, going to China and listening to Jay Chou's concert has also become one of the important factors in the dreams of young girls.
Over the years, Yelena has unconsciously become the "Chinese God" that everyone dreams of.
Yelena gradually found that watching mainland TV dramas, she did not have to watch subtitles, basically can understand the meaning of the lines,
And Jay Chou's songs, whether it is "Double Knuckle Stick" or "Compendium of Materia Medica", she can sing catchy.
And she was also surprised to find that it may be because Zhou's hip-hop style sings too much,
As long as she talks about Chinese, she will not stutter!
What a magical girl!
Soon, the little girl who became a Chinese god through self-study became a local little star.
And, in 2008, this little girl who has not yet come to China,
In Serbia, I sang "Welcome to Beijing".
At this moment, although she has not yet come to China, she must be in Yelena's heart.
She had already thought of herself as half a Chinese.
The time has finally come to 2014,
This year, for Yelena, is a very extraordinary year,
It was in this year that she finally got her ticket to the "Holy Land" in her heart!
Through years of unremitting efforts, Yelena successfully passed the Confucius Institute Level 5 examination,
She finally got the acceptance letter to go to a language university in China to continue her studies!
The girl's dream has finally come true!
05
However, on the road to China, there is the last "road blocker", this tiger, is an expensive ticket!
For us, a few thousand tickets may not be a big deal.
But for this little girl from Serbia, the ticket is a huge amount of money!
However, what she did not expect was that just when the whole family was at a loss, the staff of a Chinese multinational company suddenly came to the door.
The staff also holds a golden ticket in their hands!
"Beautiful girl, welcome to China! Добродошли у Кину！ ”
Looking at the enthusiastic Chinese, and the tickets in their hands,
Yelena's eyes turned red in an instant, and tears of excitement couldn't help but rush down.
"Thank you... I love China... I love China! ”
Yelena felt a little helpless, and only the words "I love China" were still floating between heaven and earth.
We believe that this good wish carries the dreams of Serbian girls,
It will ride the east wind, cross the ocean, and drift all the way to the world!
Since then, Yelena has been living in China and learning chinese language and culture.
Over the years, in addition to studying, she has also traveled to many places in China.
China has completely become Yelena's second hometown!
When it comes to the future, Yelena's tone is full of infinite yearning:
"This year, I hope I can find a Chinese boyfriend.
In the future, I still want to be China's daughter-in-law, and I hope that my dream can be realized as soon as possible! ”
Do you think she can make her dreams come true?
