“云”文化碰撞

丁浩森

从2022年12月2日开始,我们美国华府青年(Capital Youth Outreach Club)的孩子与中国麻栗坡第一小学的孩子展开了为期19个月、共计15次的文化交流活动。这个项目的初衷是让两国的孩子们能够互相了解彼此的生活方式、文化背景以及学习环境,促进中美青少年之间的友谊和理解。我们第一次会议在12月2日是与麻栗坡小学共同举办的晚会便拉开了帷幕。尽管活动的筹备过程中遇到了不少困难,但在大家的共同努力下,晚会最终取得了圆满成功。这次成功的合作不仅让我们对未来的交流充满信心,也让彼此更加期待接下来的每一次互动。

去年的一天,我爸爸忽然喜出望外地问我,“你愿不愿意与中国云南的同龄小学生通过网络聊天交流学习?” 我知道我爸爸对我中文学习很重视,而我自己也的确知道熟练掌握中文对于Chinese American的重要性。于是我毫不犹豫地答应了。我希望我的中文水平得到进一步提高,也期盼与中国的同龄小朋友一起交流,在实践中更快的提高自己的听说能力。

April 21, 2024

It’s the second year since I joined Capital Youth Outreach Club( CYOC), which I am very proud of because we are a group of young people that serve our community. This time, as a CYOC memeber, I am helping with the 2024 10K race happening in our region. It was a chilly morning at Pike and Rose as me and my dad drove into the parking garage. As I was walking with him, I saw a big sign that said “Pikes Peek 10k” (It was spelled “peek”, I don’t know if that was intentional or not), which was the name of the race I volunteered for today.
