本文作者范赫（Mohammed Farhan Kalladi）是一名来自印度的留学生，现就读于中国的一所医学院校。本文为中印大同网“我眼中的中国”主题征文活动优秀稿件之一。 ——编者按 我眼中的中国 2017年，我告别家人和朋友，告别印度所有的一切，跨入新的人生阶段 —— 到中国留学。  网络视频里的中国--中国人吃生肉和虫子？ 在我选择留学目的地时，亲戚朋友都建议我去中国。我感到很疑惑，为什么所有人都推荐我同一个地方呢？为什么你们不建议我去俄罗斯、格鲁吉亚或者别的国家呢？他们给出的回答都惊人的相似：因为在中国的留学花费比印度和其他国家都低。这也是大多数印度人对于中国的看法：中国的商品跟其他国家相比，价格更低廉。 中国人吃生肉和虫子？ 后来，我收到了川北医学院的录取通知书。虽然在内心深处，我并没有做好去中国的准备，但是为了实现我的求学梦，我还是毅然决然地选择了前往！  来到中国的第一天--中国人都长得一模一样？ 2017年11月9日，我和同伴从科钦国际机场出发，开始了新的旅程。这真是一次漫长的旅程，途经斯里兰卡和泰国，第二天终于到达了成都双流国际机场。到机场后，我才发现我将要面临的最大的问题不是饮食而是语言！我们想叫辆出租车，却发现司机都不会讲英语。在一位翻译的帮助下，我们终于打到了一辆出租车去了南充市。看着街上的行人，我觉得每一个中国人都好像长得一模一样！ 和同伴从科钦机场出发 当天，在我去营业厅办理电话卡的时候，我交到了第一个中国朋友。她是营业厅的工作人员，也是我遇到的第一个会讲英语的中国人。不久之后，我们就成为了很要好的朋友。办完卡后，我和同学去外面吃饭。走在街上，我仔细观察了一下行人的面孔，这时候我敢肯定地告诉自己：原来每个中国人长得都不一样！  认识第一个中国朋友  一学期后--希望爸妈也来中国！ 休息了两天后，我和新朋友们在周一开启了我们的大学生休息了两天后，我和新朋友们在周一开启了我们的大学生活。新环境、新朋友，所有的一切都是全新的。我们的专业课老师们都很优秀，学历也很高，大多数老师都是海归硕士。我们还有一些外教老师。我觉得我们的大学给我们提供了最好的课程、设施和教师，让我们能享受最好的学习环境。我还感觉自己仿佛是在印度的大学，因为我们可以在校园里庆祝各种印度传统节日，并且老师也很支持。
在日常生活中，我遇见了很多中国人，我发现大家都忙于自己的生活，没人来干涉我们的事。在中国，我们觉得既自由、又安全。无论什么时候，无论去哪里，都不用担心安全问题。中国人遵守法律和规章制度的态度真的很值得尊敬。我还看到，中国的女性可以自由地在各个领域工作。我觉得中国是一个充满机会的国家。 参加国际文化节 因为有先进的科技，在中国生活非常便捷。比如，日常生活中，只要有一部手机就足够了。我们一点儿现金也不用带，只需要用手机微信或者支付宝就可以完成支付。出行和生活方式也非常方便。尽管做每件事都很轻松便捷，但中国人也不会整天懒散地坐着。他们会抽时间做运动、锻炼身体，我想这就是中国人看起来都很年轻的原因吧。 街头摄影  告诉印度朋友--中国才不是你们想的那样~ 假期回到印度后，我给朋友们看我在中国拍的照片和视频，他们非常激动。我告诉他们，他们脑子里的中国都是完全错误的。
和伙伴出游 老实说，我不知道这两年到底过得有多快。但我仍然记得我第一天来这里的时候，恍若一切都发生在昨天。过去两年里，我发现中国的方方面面都不是我想象中的样子，我对这个国家的看法已经完全颠覆了。
——————以下阅读英文，我是分割线—————— 阅读英文原文： China in My Eyes In 2017, I left my family, friends and everything there in India and entered to the new step of my life － To go to China for further studies. 01 When I asked for suggestions from my family and other relatives, everyone suggested to select China. I was wondered and asked why you are suggesting the same place? Why can’t you suggest some other countries like Russia, Georgia or others? The reply from everyone was the same:“because the expenses there are much cheaper than India or all other countries.” This is the main concept of most Indians about China. Everything available in China is cheaper than all over the world. What I knew about Chinese food habits was that Chinese eat raw meat and insects. I saw some trending Chinese videos and I understood that food is a main challenge I’m going to face when I reach there. My friends were teasing me by saying that “after when he come back from China, he won’t eat any Indian foods. We must find some ways to grow some insects for him”. Hearing all these from everyone, in my concept China were the worst country in the world. My interest to come to China was decreasing day by day. I got admission in North Sichuan Medical College. Deep from my mind, I was not ready to come here. But only to fulfill my dream, I came here. 02 2017 November 09, from Kochi international airport we started our journey. It was a long trip connecting Sri Lanka and Thailand. On the next day we arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. Upon the arrival in airport, I realized that food is not the main problem I’m going to face here. Language - we struggled a lot to find a taxi, no one were able to speak English. With the help of a translator we got a taxi to Nanchong. I started noticing that do every Chinese looks the same or not! On the same day, I went to take a new mobile SIM card there I got my first Chinese friend; she is a staff in that store. She was the first person I met in China who speaks English. In a short time we became close. After that me and my classmates went outside to eat food. On the way to street I was noticing the faces of Chinese. I assured that all Chinese don’t look the same! 03 After 2 days off, on Monday I started my new college life there with new friends, new environment and all. All our teachers are well qualified and well educated. Most of them have done their master degree in foreign countries. We also have some foreign teachers. I think we have everything best in our college like classes, infrastructure, teachers and everything. Simply they provide us the best environment for our study purposes. I also feel our college like a college in our home country, all the festivals and celebrations we can do in our college and our teachers will also support those. I met a lot of Chinese people in my daily life. What I found is everyone is busy with their own life. No one is going to interfere in any of our matters. We feel so free and safe in China. At any time, we can go anywhere, without any fear. The way Chinese follow their laws, rules and regulations are really appreciable. I saw women working in every area. I think China is full of opportunities. I’ve got many Chinese friends. We used to go out to play. I started learning Chinese language from them. I found that Chinese people are really nice and kind hearted. If you are in some bad situation Chinese people will really help us. About the technology, it is well advanced and simple. For an example just a mobile phone is enough for us. We don’t need to carry any money with us; we can just use WeChat or Alipay for our payment processes and all. Transportation and lifestyle are simple and more convenient. Even though everything is simple and easy here, people won’t sit here lazy. They find their own time for health and do exercise. I understood that this is why Chinese people look young. Day by day I started loving China. After a semester I called my parents and told them “if you were also here with me, I won’t go back to India again”. I start realizing that “China is not what I expected”. 04 When I went back to India, I showed my photos and videos to my friends. They were really excited. I showed them that all their concepts about China were absolutely wrong. What I came to know is the social media is only sharing some bad sides of China to India and India to China. When I came here, I came to know that about India also Chinese people have very bad impression. Once when I asked one of my friends have you ever been in India, she replied: No, I’m afraid to go to India, because I saw a video. Only thing I want to say is that “Just one or two videos can’t explain the whole country.” Actually, I don’t know how fast the two years has passed. Still I’m remembering the first day I came here. Feels like everything passed yesterday. From the past two years, I understood that all my concepts about China were wrong. In every aspect, China is entirely different. Since I am an Indian, I tried to compare India and China with a lot of things. Actually, it was a dream to see this giant country and understand its culture. I believe that this is a Golden opportunity to get a chance to live in China as an International student. |
