Harmonious blend of tradition & development in Qingshan Village
Kotovskaia Uliana
This summer I had the distinct privilege of visiting the picturesque village of Qingshan Village as part of an event organized by Zhejiang University of Science and Technology. As a student at the university, I was delighted to have the opportunity to explore this village and gain insight into its rich history and unique blend of tranquility and development.
今年夏天，浙江科技大学组织了一次参观活动，而我有幸成为其中一员，来到了风景如画的青山村。作为一名大学生，我非常高兴能够有机会探访这个村庄，去深度感受它的历史脉搏，探索其赓续传统与进步发展相并肩的奥秘。
The day began with an engaging lecture delivered by an experienced English-speaking guide who shared with us the fascinating history of the village's development. As a native of a small Russian village, I have always held a deep appreciation for the charm and slow-paced lifestyle that rural areas offer. I value the strong sense of community and connection to nature that these places provide. However, it has always been a source of concern to observe the lack of progress and opportunities in my own village, forcing many individuals to leave in search of a better life.
首先，导游用英语为我们介绍了这个村庄。他经验丰富，将青山村背后的历史故事娓娓道来。作为一个在俄罗斯小村庄里土生土长的人，乡村对我有着独特的魅力，我也很喜欢村子里慢节奏的生活方式。它们让我有了强烈的归属感，也建立了我与大自然之间的紧密联系。不过，我发现自己的村庄发展迟滞，导致许多人都为了寻求更好的生活而被迫离开家乡。说实话，对这一现象，我感到非常焦心。
This is why I was particularly intrigued and delighted to discover that Qingshan Village successfully combines the preservation of a peaceful village life with harmonious development. The villagers come together for various workshops and events, attracting companies that create job opportunities and recreational activities. It was encouraging to witness the sense of unity and pride that emanated from the village as we saw a magnificent dragon, beautifully adorned and used during festivals. This symbol of unity truly brings the villagers together, as it serves to unite them in a common purpose.
我一直在思考这个问题的解决方案。直到这一次，当我亲眼看见青山村居然同时拥有宁静的乡村生活与充满活力的发展模式时，我想我终于找到了答案。在村民们共同参与各种工作坊和活动的过程中，各大公司都自然而然地被吸引过来，也就为村民们带来了大量就业机会和娱乐活动。此外，我们还被一个用于节庆的龙灯所震撼。它宏伟壮丽，上面各式各样的装饰非常精致；它庄严华美，透出村民浓浓的自豪感；它寓意着团结一心，带动村民为了一个共同的目标而努力，将大家真真正正地凝聚到一起。
One of the highlights of the visit was the breathtaking natural scenery that surrounded the village. The sparkling reservoirs with their emerald waters, nestled amidst the encompassing mountains, created a picturesque backdrop that seemed straight out of a painting. The pristine environment and tranquil atmosphere were truly captivating, allowing us to momentarily escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
这趟旅程的其中一个亮点是村庄周边令人叹为观止的自然风光。碧水波光粼粼，镶嵌在连绵的群山之间，构成了一幅如画般的美丽图景。这种纯净的环境与宁静的氛围实在让人心醉，让我们得以暂时逃离城市生活的喧嚣与忙碌。
As part of our experience, we had the opportunity to participate in a bamboo fan-making workshop. This activity not only immersed us in the local culture but also provided a chance for me to forge a beautiful friendship with a lovely Chinese girl. The fan I crafted with my newfound friend became a symbol of our newly formed bond, a testament to the power of cultural exchange and friendship.
我们还有机会参与到了一个制作竹扇的工作坊中。通过制作竹扇，我们深入体验了当地文化，我也与一位可爱的中国女孩建立了宝贵的友谊。我们一起制作的竹扇，不仅成为了我们友情的象征，更见证了文化交流与友谊的力量。
The village of Qingshan Village also impressed us with its culinary delights. We were treated to a delectable feast, which showcased the exceptional quality of the village's food industry. This further demonstrated the village's commitment to offering a well-rounded experience for its visitors.
另外，青山村的佳肴也给我们留下了深刻印象。我们享用了一顿美味的盛宴，这些菜肴展现了村庄食品产业的卓越品质，同时也进一步证明了青山村致力于为游客提供全方位体验的决心。
In addition to the enchanting landscapes, cultural workshops, and exquisite cuisine, the story of "A Drop of Water" imbued our visit with a deeper significance. This symbolic tale reminded us of the importance of individual actions in preserving the environment and the necessity for sustainable development. It served as a powerful reminder that every small step taken towards conservation and harmony can bring about significant changes.
除了秀丽的风景、文化工作坊和精致的佳肴外，“一滴水”的故事为我们的参观之旅赋予了更加深刻的意义，让我们意识到了个人行为在保护环境和可持续发展中的重要性，每一个迈向环境保护与和谐发展的“小步”都能够带来显著的变化。
In light of my visit to Qingshan Village, I am impressed by the village's dedication to preserving its rural character while also embracing progress. It serves as a shining example of how communities can thrive by blending tradition with innovation. The experience has not only deepened my appreciation for the appeal of small villages but has also instilled hope for the future of my own village and similar communities.
通过此次青山村之旅，我对村庄在保留乡村特色的同时兼顾全力发展的决心感到钦佩。它展示了社区是如何通过融合传统与创新进而蓬勃发展的，是一个杰出的模范。这次经历不仅加深了我对小村庄的喜爱，也为我自己的村庄和其它相似社区的未来发展带来了希望。
In conclusion, my day in Qingshan Village proved to be a truly informative and enlightening experience. The combination of the engaging lecture, the stunning natural surroundings, the cultural workshops, the delicious food, and the heartwarming sense of community left a lasting impression on me. It reminded me of the value of preserving our cultural heritage while embracing progress, and it reinforced my belief in the power of unity and friendship. I am grateful to have had the chance to witness the magic of Qingshan Village and share in the spirit of this remarkable village.
总的来说，在青山村的这一天是极具启发性和教育意义的。引人入胜的讲解、瑰丽俊秀的自然风光、文化工作坊、美味的食物以及温暖的社区情都给我留下了深刻的印象，让我意识到了在拥抱发展的同时保留文化遗产的重要性，加强了我对团结与友谊力量的信念。我很感激能够有这样的机会去见证青山村的魅力，体悟这个非凡村庄所传递的精神。
