我見證了中國新農(nóng)村的神奇變化

文/ Adrien Oger Peulvast（安德昂，法國）

我是個(gè)地道的中國女婿，娶了一位美麗善良大氣的中國姑娘，生了一對(duì)混血寶寶。2007年，我和我的愛人相識(shí)相知相愛在浪漫之都巴黎，當(dāng)時(shí)她在巴黎索邦第三大學(xué)留學(xué)，當(dāng)年我就隨她回到了她在中國的家鄉(xiāng)——安徽大別山，我了解到，那是中國的革命圣地。

第一次去她家鄉(xiāng)我很不適應(yīng)，因?yàn)槟鞘且粋€(gè)偏僻的小山村，沒有超市，交通也不便捷，飲食也比較簡(jiǎn)單，交流也不是很方便，但家鄉(xiāng)人民的友善淳樸和率真給我留下了深刻印象。再后來我?guī)缀趺磕甓家阒鴲廴嘶匾惶思亦l(xiāng)，切身感受到了家鄉(xiāng)一點(diǎn)一滴的變化。近3年來，受新冠疫情的影響，我和愛人都沒有機(jī)會(huì)回去，今年春節(jié)前，中國政府調(diào)整了疫情防控的要求，城市間的流動(dòng)變得更加方便，我決定陪愛人回她家鄉(xiāng)過春節(jié)。

我對(duì)安徽大別山農(nóng)村的印象還停留在幾年前，因?yàn)閾?dān)心在農(nóng)村生活會(huì)遇到各種困難，出發(fā)前我特意去采購了幾箱吃喝用的東西，把車的后備箱塞得滿滿當(dāng)當(dāng)。結(jié)果車子駛?cè)氪蹇诘臅r(shí)候，我才發(fā)現(xiàn)我低估了中國新農(nóng)村的發(fā)展，這里道路平整寬闊，兩邊店鋪林立，物資應(yīng)有盡有。我居然在村口的超市里買到了包裝精美的咖啡，盡管我已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了喝中國茶和中國的“萬能藥”——開水，但看到咖啡的時(shí)候我依然很激動(dòng)，不是因?yàn)榛蚶锏目Х惹榻Y(jié)，而是因?yàn)槲铱吹搅藭r(shí)代發(fā)展給農(nóng)村帶來的新面貌。

I am an authentic Chinese son-in-law, married a beautiful, kind, and generous Chinese woman, and we have two metis children. In 2007 I met and fell in love with the love of my life in Paris, the capital of romance, when she was studying at the Sorbonne III at Paris University. That year I returned with her to her hometown in China, Dabieshan Mountain in Anhui Province, which I learned is a famous Revolutionary resort in China.

The first time I went to her hometown, I was very uncomfortable because it was a small, remote mountain village with no supermarkets, inconvenient transportation,primitive food and drink, and inconvenient communication.Still, I was impressed by the friendliness, simplicity, and kindness of the people there. Then I went back to her hometown almost every year with my wife and felt the changes in her hometown each time. Unfortunately, in the past three years, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, we could not have had the opportunity to go back.However, the Chinese government adjusted the epidemic prevention and control policy before this year’s Spring Festival. As a result, the movement between cities became more convenient, so I decided to accompany my wife back to her hometown for the Spring Festival.

My impression of the rural areas of Dabieshan Mountain in Anhui Province was still the same as a few years ago. I was worried about the difficulties I would encounter living in the countryside, so I bought a lot of food, drink, and articles for daily use and stuffed the car’s trunk full. When I drove into the village, I realized that I had underestimated the development of China’s new countryside, The roads are flat and wide, and there are many shops on both sides. I can buy beautifully packaged coffee in the supermarket at the village entrance, even though I am used to drinking Chinese tea now and boiled water which is a “cure-all”. But I was still very excited when I saw coffee, not because of the excitement of coffee in my gene, but because I saw the development of the times to bring a new face to the countryside.

我第一次來愛人家鄉(xiāng)的時(shí)候，村里幾乎很少有私家車的身影，現(xiàn)在每家門前都停著一輛甚至幾輛私家車，公共交通也很普及。這里甚至全都覆蓋了5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)，一個(gè)手機(jī)就可以在農(nóng)村的超市、集市買東西，老百姓也可以通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)了解到村外發(fā)生的大事小情，家事國事天下事，事事關(guān)心。我愛人的奶奶，已經(jīng)91歲高齡了，居然能熟練地使用手機(jī)！中國新農(nóng)村建設(shè)給老百姓帶來了實(shí)惠，他們物質(zhì)生活一年比一年富裕，精神生活一年比一年豐富，一切的變化都是那么神奇。

我和家人們一起過了一個(gè)歡樂祥和的中國年，他們教會(huì)我包餃子，“安排”我貼春聯(lián)，拉著我嘮家常，帶著我打麻將。農(nóng)村的冬天很冷，盡管現(xiàn)在家家戶戶條件都好起來了，都有空調(diào)了，但他們依然喜歡一大家子圍著火盆烤炭火，在溫暖的炭火中感受親情和友愛。大年三十的晚上，我們一家人吃了一頓豐盛的年夜飯，盡情享受天倫之樂帶給我的滿足感。最開心的是我的一雙兒女，因?yàn)榧亦l(xiāng)有好吃的飯菜、好看的景色、好玩的動(dòng)物。他們最喜歡和小伙伴一起放炮仗，點(diǎn)煙花?？粗髁恋幕鹧嬷杏骋r著家人們幸福的笑容，我被他們感染了，完全融入其中。

我相信我愛人家鄉(xiāng)的變化只是中國新農(nóng)村建設(shè)的一個(gè)縮影，我公司所在的南京市溧水區(qū)，就有不少類似的新農(nóng)村，完善的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，秀美的山川美景，不僅是老百姓幸福的家園，也成為享譽(yù)周邊的旅游勝地。在此，我祝愿中國的新農(nóng)村建設(shè)越來越好，中國老百姓的生活一年比一年紅火。

When I first came to my wife’s hometown, there were few private cars in the village, but now there are one or even several private cars parked in front of every house, and public transportation is trendy. The place is even covered with 5G network. Cell phones can be used to buy things in supermarkets and bazaars in the countryside. The people can also learn about the big and small things happening outside the village through the network, and they are concerned about everything in the family, the country, and the world. My wife’s grandmother, who is 91 years old, can use her cell phone skillfully! China’s new rural construction has brought benefits to the people, and their worldly and spiritual life is getting richer and richer year by year. All the changes are so notable.

I had a happy and peaceful Chinese New Year with my family. They taught me to make dumplings, "arranged" for me to put up Spring Festival couplets, chat with my wife’s family and play mahjong. The winter in the countryside is freezing. Although the conditions of every household are better now and they have air conditioners, they still like to gather around the brazier to cook charcoal fire and feel the affection and friendship in the warm charcoal fire. Our family had a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner on the night of New Year’s Eve. I felt the satisfaction brought by family happiness. The happiest are our two children because my wife’s hometown has delicious meals, beautiful scenery,and exciting animals. They like to set off firecrackers and light fireworks. Looking at the happy smiles of the family members reflected in the bright flames, and I was infected by them and fully integrated into it.

I believe that the changes in my wife’s hometown are just a microcosm of the construction of new rural areas in China.Lishui District, Nanjing, where my company is located, has many similar new rural areas, complete infrastructure, and beautiful mountains and rivers. It is not only a happy home for ordinary people but has also become a famous tourist attraction in the surrounding area. Once again, I hope China’s new rural construction will be better and better, and the lives of Chinese people will be more prosperous every year.
