"My heart is filled with China! There are such beautiful scenery, rich culture, and warm and warm friends. At the end of his 14-day trip to China, César Perez, the official photographer of the Nicaraguan presidential palace, was full of reluctance.
Not long ago, a group of journalists from Nicaragua came to China to participate in a series of exchange activities in Beijing, Hubei and other places, and Perez was one of the team members. Most of them are news anchors, TV producers, and new media account managers, most of whom are coming to China for the first time.
Talking about China's "first experience", the Nicaraguan reporter said that China is developed, friendly and colorful, and they will show the Nicaraguan people what they have seen with their own eyes.
"Technology is the gateway to the future"
On Wuhan High-tech Avenue, the Optics Valley Skyrail train slowly drove into the platform, and Nicaraguan reporters raised their mobile phones to capture this sci-fi moment.
Felix Fernández was amazed by the airrail technology. As the director of the Nicaraguan "Young Leaders" information platform, Fernandez said that high-tech is one of the areas of greatest interest to Nicaraguan youth, and if China's "novelty" technology is displayed on the Internet, it will definitely attract many young Nicaraguan fans.
In Wuhan East Lake High-tech Development Zone, Ezhou Huahu Airport and other places, artificial intelligence technology has been deeply integrated into all aspects of production. This caught the eye of Hamilton Galeano, a reporter for Nicaragua's Radio 4.
Galeano posted a series of short VLOG videos on TV and his personal social media accounts, with a caption that "Huahu Airport is a symbol of developed and efficient logistics", which attracted many likes and comments from Nicaraguan netizens.
What encouraged Fernandez the most was that Chinese youth have played a "leading role" in the development of science and technology. He said that the Great Wall of China's historical monuments reflects the indomitable spirit of the Chinese people, and now China has broken through the blockade and become independent and self-reliant in many technological fields, which is worth learning from Nicaraguan youth.
"Technology is the gateway to the future, and China is emerging as a leader in this field. Fernandez praised.
"Culture is the carrier of spirit"
For many members of the press corps, there has always been a mystery about China, an ancient and distant country. But in the eyes of Pablo Fariñas, producer of Nicaragua's 13th TV station, a long cultural tradition is the "key" to understanding the Chinese. "Culture is the carrier of spirit. He said.
"Chinese culture encompasses the spirit of perseverance and solidarity, and it is precisely because of this that China has been able to achieve what it is today. Farynias sighed.
After coming to China, Farynias was particularly interested in traditional Chinese cultural elements such as guqin and hanfu. He showed many group photos on WeChat Moments, including museum "little docents" wearing Hanfu and restaurant clerks wearing new Chinese clothes.
The main attraction of Farinias is the Chinese folk music and dance. One of the priorities of his future work, he said, is to introduce the music and dance cultures of China and Nicaragua to each other. He believes that through the bridge of culture, the people of the two countries can "give a lot to each other."
"One finger can't cover the sun"
At the beginning of the day, Celia Zamora set off from her hotel and walked onto the streets of Wuhan to "touch" the pulse of this central city. Before I knew it, I had walked 8 kilometers.
As the news director of Nicaragua's 8th television station, Zamora has long been accustomed to going to the news scene to get first-hand information. She was deeply impressed by the busy and orderly street scene of Wuhan.
Zamora said that the Western media always create an image of China as "closed", "indifferent" and "unfriendly". In fact, China has a diverse ethnic group, a long culture, and friendly people. The government attaches great importance to people's livelihood, and the people are diligent and dedicated, which is the real China.
"There is a stark contrast between the information we have previously obtained and the information we have personally verified. Zamora said.
Perez agrees with this. After returning to China, he plans to hold a number of special photo exhibitions on China, so that the Nicaraguan people can get to know a comprehensive and three-dimensional China through the photos he has taken.
Zamora says there is a proverb in Nicaragua: "One finger can't cover the sun." Meaning, facts speak louder than words, and the obvious cannot be glossed over.
"That's how China's development is. No matter how much the Western media tries to smear it, it will not change the fact that Chinese society is full of vitality and its people live and work in peace and contentment. Zamora said.
