"Foreigners Tell Stories: Overseas Employees Look at China", No. 4
Name: Ma Huixin
Nationality: Italian
Occupation: Italian sales representative of China Eastern Airlines European Marketing Center Rome Sales Department
For Fraceschini Martina, an Italian sales representative of the Rome sales department of China Eastern Airlines' European Marketing Center based in Rome, Shanghai is like a lover at first sight, who was attracted by the comfortable, elegant, modern and fashionable atmosphere of Shanghai at the first encounter, and still retains the bright picture of the city's colorful and lively and jumping in the memory.
Italy is the end point of the ancient Silk Road, but also the intersection of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the Maritime Silk Road, the historical origin and geographical location make China and Italy to strengthen the "Belt and Road" cooperation has a unique advantage. China Eastern's MU787/788 Shanghai-Rome route started in March 2011, and nearly 2 million passengers have chosen China Eastern airlines to travel between China and Italy in the past 11 years. During the participation of the 56th TTG International Travel Exhibition in Italy, a number of Italian business travel management companies, OTA travel agencies, Chinese business travel agencies and tourism bureaus of various Italian regions came to the booth of China Eastern Airlines to express their intention to cooperate.
"Marco Polo came to China from Rome in 4 years, and with our China Eastern flights, you just need to sleep beautifully on the latest A350 wide-body aircraft and wake up to see the Pearl of the Orient." Ma Huixin often proudly introduces her work to her friends and clients.
The most memorable flight of the first China-aided medical expert group
But the most impressive flight in 11 years must have been Flight MU787 on March 12, 2020, which carried only nine passengers and 31 tons of luggage. They are the first Chinese medical expert team and epidemic prevention materials to aid Italy! In that month, Ma Huixin participated in the guarantee of three medical assistance charter flights from China.
The dedicated healthcare team has provided the most useful and timely assistance in italy's outbreak response. "I remember when the first group of medical experts arrived in Rome on a chartered plane, the poster released by the company on the social platform mentioned the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China, and Italy was also the first country to send a team of experts to the scene to help, which made me understand the profound connotation of the community of destiny and was also touched by the long friendship between the two ancient civilizations of China and Italy."
Realizing the "Oriental Dream in the Blue Sky"
Martina chose the Chinese name of "Wise Heart" for herself, full of oriental charm, hoping to have a heart of wisdom. Ma Huixin, who has loved Chinese culture since childhood, studied Chinese at the University of Rome I (Wisdom University), and in 2012, she was given the opportunity to study for a semester at Beijing Foreign Chinese University, and in 2016 she finally came to Shanghai with heartfelt yearning and beautiful vision. Fluent in Chinese and Italian, she eventually joined China Eastern Airlines and realized her "Oriental Dream in the Blue Sky".
As an outstanding foreign employee of China Eastern Airlines, Ma Huixin has the opportunity to participate in the training and learning of Shanghai headquarters every year, which makes her closer and closer to Shanghai. What impressed her most was the "Four Seas Together, Go Home to See" activity, where she and 42 "family members" of China Eastern Airlines from different countries gathered in Shanghai and walked into the headquarters of China Eastern Airlines. In addition to learning the knowledge of aviation business, they walked together on the Bund, admiring the lujiazui with unspeakable lights on one side and the long-standing wanguo architectural complex on the other side, marveling at the perfect combination of modernity and classical beauty.
The most memorable taste of Shanghai: Small dumplings
Shanghai has not only beautiful scenery, but also food. Coming from Italy, which has also a long food culture, Ma Huixin is particularly "strict" about "eating". The most popular snack in the streets and alleys of Shanghai is Xiaolongbao. The delicate and compact appearance, the texture of thin skin and filling, and the dip in a little vinegar are the taste of Shanghai that she will never forget.
Before the epidemic, China Eastern Airlines participated in the large-scale Spring Festival celebrations held by the Chinese Embassy in Italy in Rome's Piazza del Popolo every year, which mainly included lion dances, Taiping drums, song and dance, acrobatics, martial arts, drama and other traditional Chinese art performances. "After the epidemic is over, I look forward to participating in these extraordinary cultural activities with my colleagues to show you more about the excitement of Chinese culture and the charm of Shanghai." Ma Huixin said.
