我和你邂逅在延安
〔 巴基斯坦 〕 娜姿 延安大學
“我一定要去中國學習。”我在心裏一直告訴自己。
2018年，我離開巴基斯坦來到了嚮往已久的中國，我第一站抵達的城市是美麗的春城昆明，在這裡我度過了一年美好的語言學習時光。2019年，我來到了寫滿革命歷史的城市——延安。
她不像昆明那樣漂亮、濕潤，但她有自己獨特的風格。你一定沒有見過一個城市有那麼多的窯洞建築；你一定沒有見過一個城市有那麼多的革命舊址；你也一定沒有見過一個城市有那麼多的地下商場。沒關係，跟我一起走進這座城市吧！
你要問我：延安是什麼顏色的？我告訴你，是紅色的。
延安是陜西省北部的一個小城市，她之所以那麼有名，是因為她是紅色的。她有紅色的剪紙、紅色的腰鼓、紅色的秧歌、紅色的革命，還有一顆顆紅色的心。聽説，黨中央和毛主席曾在這裡戰鬥和生活了13年，我有幸能在這裡讀書，可以隨時去偉人們的故居拜訪。我可以很驕傲地説，我的學校隔壁就是楊家嶺舊址呢。因為特殊的歷史，這裡的人們也都是紅色的，如果你在公園散步或者在廣場遊玩，你總會聽到有人在講毛主席在延安的日子，講的時候還滿臉驕傲，像是在講自己熟悉的親人一樣。還有每到十月一日、七月一日，你會看到每個店舖、每座大橋上都有鮮艷的紅旗，這大概就是標語裏寫的紅色基因吧！
你要問我：延安是什麼顏色的？我告訴你，是黃色的。
記得剛來這裡的時候是三月，剛下火車，一陣大風夾雜著沙土向我吹來，可真是嚇壞了我。除此之外，一眼望去都是黃褐色的山，所以我説延安是黃色的。這幾年的學習讓我對延安有了一個更深的了解，我也覺得她是黃色的。因為這裡有雄偉的黃河壺口瀑布，有天下第一陵——黃帝陵，每年的清明節，這裡都人山人海，人們來祭拜自己的祖先，所以，這裡是所有黃皮膚中國人共同嚮往的地方。你説，它不是黃色的嗎？
你要問我：延安是什麼顏色的？我告訴你，是綠色的。
還記得剛來時候的大風，褐色的山嗎？現在的延安可不是那樣的了，滿山都被樹木覆蓋著，像一頂頂綠色的大傘。再看看延河的水，再也不是以前的黃色了，經過治理，延河兩邊是供人們散步的小道，小道兩邊是各種各樣的花兒，有時候還可以聽到青蛙在裏面叫呢，下午在這裡散步真是太美妙了。我想，這就是習近平主席説的“綠水青山就是金山銀山”，這就是延安的“金山銀山”吧。
來中國已經三年了，我不僅看到了中國的發展，更通過延安看到了中國發展的迅速。我喜歡多彩的中國，多彩的延安，我在這裡歡迎你噢！
Meet You in Yan’an
〔Pakistan〕 Naz Ureeba， Yan’an University
“I must go to China to study，” I had frequently told myself．
In 2018， I left Pakistan and set my feet on the land of China that I had been yearning for all the time． The first city I got to was Kunming， the beautiful “Spring City”， where I spent one year on language training． In 2019， I came to Yan’an， a city full of revolution history．
Though she is not as shining and humid as Kunming， Yan’an is unique in its landscape． You must have never seen a city with so many caves， with so many old revolutionary sites and so many underground shopping malls． It doesn’t matter． Come with me and I will show you around．
If you ask me what is the color of Yan’an， I will say it is red．
Yan’an is a small city located in the north of Shaanxi province． She is well－known for her red color． She has red paper－cuts， red waist drums， red Yangge Dance， red revolutionary events and red hearts． It was said that the CPC Central Committee and Chairman Mao fought and lived here for 13 years． I am very lucky to study here， so that I got chances to visit the former residences of these great men whenever and wherever possible． I feel proud that the next door of my school is the old site of Yangjialing． The special history makes the local people “red”． If you walk in a park or amuse yourself in a square， you can hear people talk about the old days when Chairman Mao lived here． It seems that they are talking about their families as the pride is all around their faces． And every October 1 and July 1， you will see bright red flags on every store and bridge． This is probably the red gene written in the slogan！
Yan’an is yellow too．
I remember it was March when I first got here． I was frightened by a burst of gale mixed with sand when I got off the train． Besides， the brown mountains are all in my eyes at a glance． That’s why I say Yan’an is yellow． The study in recent years has given me a deeper understanding of Yan’an． She is definitely yellow because she has the majestic Hukou waterfall of the Yellow River and the Huangdi （Yellow Emperor） Mausoleum， which is the top one mausoleum in the world． Every Qingming Festival， a sea of people come to worship their ancestors． Therefore， it is a place that all Chinese people with yellow skin long for． Don’t you agree it is yellow？
Yan’an is also green．
The strong wind and brown mountains on my first arrival have disappeared． The mountains are fully covered by trees like green umbrellas． The water of the Yanhe River is not yellow anymore． After forestation， there are pedestrian walks for people on both sides of the Yanhe River and various flowers blooming on both sides of the paths． Sometimes you can hear frogs croaking． It is quite enjoyable to go for a stroll in the afternoon by the flowing river． I think this is what Chinese PresidentXi Jinping said— “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets．” I guess these are the invaluable assets of Yan’an．
It has been three years since I came to China． I have not only witnessed the development of China， but also felt the rapidness of China’s development through Yan’an． I like colorful China and colorful Yan’an． I welcome you here！
