把课堂搬进彩云之南

Calin Luo 罗卡伦

今年六月，我来到中国云南进行研学活动。云南位于中国西南边陲，简称“云”或“滇”，总面积约39.41万平方公里，与老挝、越南、缅甸接壤，是中国面向东南亚和环印度洋地区开放的重要窗口，也是连接不同文化交流的重要地区。云南历史悠久，曾经孕育了古滇文明，如今也是中国著名的旅游大省，有“彩云之南”的美誉。

第一天，我们入住了云南震庄酒店，是一个充满历史底蕴的院子。刚来的时候，我看到众多孔雀在草坪上踱步，白的、蓝的，四十多只。它们虽不肯开屏，但藏不住骨子里透露出的从容和高雅，非常像旧时的贵族——不需要向谁证明什么，存在本身即是气度。

This year, I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Chinese Culture Festival in Washington, DC. It was an unforgettable experience that not only helped me learn more about my culture and tradition, but it also helped me connect with other people.

On August 30, 2025, the Capital Youth Outreach Club (CYOC) attended the annual Washington Chinese Culture Festival in Washington D.C. The festival took place on Pennsylvania Avenue between 3rd and 4th Street, and was home to many Chinese cultural events. When walking through the grounds, you could spot all kinds of activities in full swing – whether that’s live speeches and performances, people admiring art, talking with their friends, or just enjoying some good food.

8.25中国文化节义工

By: Neil Lee

Last Saturday me and my brother had an unforgettable experience at the 2025 Washington Cultural festival. During the festival we volunteered at a tent that was doing facepainting. At the facepainting station we learned how to do facepainting and how to put on temporary tattoos. During the day, we helped paint images and put temporary tattoos on people’s faces for free. It was my first time using temporary tattoos and face paints, it was very interesting to me. At first, it was difficult for the team to apply face painting as we couldn’t get the consistency of the ink to be just right so that it will leave a mark and won’t flow to places where it shouldn’t go to, but after a bit of practice we figured out how to get the ink to stay in the pattern that we wanted. On the other hand I liked how simple it was to apply the temporary tattoos, the particular reason for this is because that to put on the temporary tattoo you just have to peel of a thin plastic layer and then put the image onto your hand / head, and you then wait ten seconds and lift of the paper and the image would be stuck to your hand.

Hands at Work, Hearts Connected

Diversity and cultural exchange are one of the most important parts of a country, a society, a community. At the annual Chinese Cultural Festival at D.C., different people from different background, culture, area, came together, shared their culture and embraced other’s culture. Volunteering at the Chinese Cultural Festival in Washington, DC was more than simply lending a hand; it was an opportunity to step into a living expression of culture, community, and connection.
