媽媽在遠(yuǎn)處眺望著我們

小時(shí)候，親情是顆糖果，甜在我嘴上，暖在您心里；長(zhǎng)大后，親情是一條長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的電話線，我在這頭，您在那頭；后來(lái)啊，我來(lái)到了中國(guó)，懷揣著您對(duì)我們的殷殷囑托，卻不能再向您講述我們?cè)谥袊?guó)的故事。

“以后要去中國(guó)，像你的姐姐一樣，去學(xué)習(xí)中國(guó)的開(kāi)放、包容和熱情。”這是我們的媽媽在臨終前反復(fù)囑托我們的話，我們始終默默地銘記在心里。

在我的生命中，中國(guó)真是一個(gè)“出鏡率”很高的地方。多年以前，我還是一個(gè)10歲的孩童，就反復(fù)聽(tīng)家人提及——我的姐姐在中國(guó)留學(xué)。每每看到她從中國(guó)發(fā)過(guò)來(lái)的照片，每每收到她從中國(guó)帶來(lái)的禮物——中國(guó)結(jié)、剪紙，她的一張張獎(jiǎng)狀、一份份優(yōu)異的成績(jī)單，都勾起了我對(duì)這個(gè)神奇國(guó)家的無(wú)限向往。每當(dāng)這個(gè)時(shí)候，我的媽媽總是摸摸我的頭，語(yǔ)重心長(zhǎng)地說(shuō)：“有夢(mèng)想就去追吧，我永遠(yuǎn)在你們身后?！?/p>

2020年，姐姐從揚(yáng)州工業(yè)職業(yè)技術(shù)學(xué)院畢業(yè)以后，進(jìn)入了一家中資企業(yè)就業(yè)，留在了首都雅加達(dá)，這更加堅(jiān)定了我要來(lái)到中國(guó)求學(xué)的信念。2022年夏天，我懷著母親對(duì)我們的囑托，充滿著追隨姐姐成長(zhǎng)腳步的憧憬，來(lái)到了中國(guó)，來(lái)到了揚(yáng)州，開(kāi)始了我三年的學(xué)習(xí)。

從拼音開(kāi)始，我深入學(xué)習(xí)漢語(yǔ)的奧秘，通過(guò)方寸之間的每一個(gè)漢字去了解漢語(yǔ)背后的故事，例如“安”字本義是空間，還表示“家中有女”的意思，人們常說(shuō)的“安寧”表示家中男女雙全，享福而得安寧，等等。我認(rèn)真聽(tīng)每一堂課上老師講的每一個(gè)語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)，課后與同學(xué)們交流練習(xí)，嘗試突破每一個(gè)“不可能”。2023年初，我還有幸作為代表之一參加了中國(guó)教育部留學(xué)服務(wù)中心云合唱《春日來(lái)信》的錄制，用我們自己的方式唱響了“疫”后的春天。

現(xiàn)在，我明白了什么是中國(guó)。中國(guó)，不僅有長(zhǎng)江和黃河咆哮奔騰的波瀾壯闊，也有綿延五千多年的燦爛文明。在這里，我們出門不再需要帶現(xiàn)金。從入校開(kāi)始，在體檢、居留許可辦理、打車、坐公交等生活場(chǎng)景中，一部手機(jī)就可以解決全部的“不方便”。在這里，我們可以親身感受到中國(guó)高鐵的“風(fēng)馳電掣”。在這里，我們看到的每一處歷史陳設(shè)、每一段暖心故事、每一幀生活細(xì)節(jié)映射的都是栩栩如生的中國(guó)發(fā)展進(jìn)程。

我始終關(guān)心著中國(guó)與印尼的發(fā)展，未來(lái)，我還計(jì)劃進(jìn)入中資企業(yè)實(shí)習(xí)和就業(yè)，像我的姐姐那樣，熟悉和了解中國(guó)企業(yè)管理者的思維方式和處事邏輯，為印尼經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展帶去先進(jìn)的“中國(guó)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”和“中國(guó)方案”。

2023年是中國(guó)和印尼建立全面戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系十周年，也是“一帶一路”倡議提出十周年，我還想繼續(xù)擔(dān)任中國(guó)故事的講述者與傳播者，成為中國(guó)與印尼文化交流使者，并主動(dòng)發(fā)聲，以實(shí)際行動(dòng)提升中華文化的國(guó)際影響力，成為溝通中國(guó)與世界最富活力的紐帶。

When I was a child， family love was like candy， sweet on my mouth and warm in your heart; When I grew up， family love was like a long telephone line， with me at this end and you at the other end; Later， I come to China， carrying your sincere entrustment to us， but I can no longer tell you our story in China.

“You will go to China in the future， just like your elder sister， to learn China’s openness， inclusiveness and enthusiasm.” These are the words my mother repeatedly told us before she died， and we always keep them in our hearts silently.

In my life， China is really a place with high appearance frequency. Many years ago， when I was a 10-year-old child， I repeatedly heard from my family that my sister was studying in China. I often saw the photos she sent from China， and received the gifts she brought back from China， including Chinese knots and paper-cuts， her certificates and outstanding report cards， which aroused my infinite yearning for this magical country. Whenever this happened， my mother always touched my head and said sincerely： “If you have a dream， chase it. I will always be behind you.”

In 2020， after my sister graduated from Yangzhou Polytechnic Institute， she joined a Chinese-funded company and stayed in Jakarta. This further strengthened my belief in studying in China. In the summer of 2022， carrying my mother’s instructions to us and full of longing to follow my sister’s footsteps， I came to China， to Yangzhou， and started my three-year study.

Starting from Pinyin， I studied the mysteries of the Chinese language and understood the stories behind the Chinese language through every Chinese character. For example， the original meaning of the word “安” （pronouncing An） is space， and it also means “there is a woman in the family”. People often say “安寧” （pronouncing An Ning， meaning tranquility） means that both men and women in the family， enjoying happiness and peace. I listened carefully to every language point taught by the teacher in every class， practiced with my classmates after class， and tried to break through every “impossible”. At the beginning of 2023， I was fortunate to be one of the representatives to participate in the recording of the cloud chorus “Letter from Spring” organized by the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange under the Chinese Ministry of Education， singing and cherishing the spring after the pandemic in our own way.

Now， I begin to understand what is China. China not only has the roaring and majestic Yangtze and Yellow rivers， but also has a splendid civilization that lasted for more than 5，000 years. Here， we no longer need to bring cash with us when we go out. From the time we entered the school， a mobile phone can solve all the “inconveniences” in life scenarios， such as physical examination， residence permit application， taking a taxi and taking the bus. Here， we can personally feel the “l(fā)ightning fast” speed of China’s high-speed rail. Here， every historical furnishing， every heart-warming story， and every frame of life details we see reflects the vivid development process of China.

I have always been concerned about the development of China and Indonesia. In the future， I also plan to enter a Chinese-funded enterprise for inBbeoYHt/d9aA+ojfd9dDFg==ternship and employment. Like my sister， I will be familiar with and understand the thinking pattern and logic of Chinese enterprise managers， bringing contributions to the economic and social development of Indonesia with advanced “Chinese standards” and “Chinese solutions”.

This year （2023） marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Indonesia， as well as the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative. I also want to continue to be the narrator and disseminator of Chinese stories， becoming an envoy of cultural exchanges between China and Indonesia. I would like to use practical actions to enhance the international influence of Chinese culture and become the most dynamic link between China and the world.
