遇見你，遇見過去與未來的模樣

初 識
與你初相識的那一天，我還是一個天真懵懂的小姑娘。當時，我腦海中的你，滿眼都是“南朝四百八十寺，多少樓臺煙雨中”的朦朧夢境。你的古香古色古韻味，是我魂牽夢縈的溫柔鄉；和你相關的歷史、典籍與詩歌，無論是沉雄悲壯的還是浪漫唯美的，都是我孜孜不倦的精神食糧，卻只恨與你未有緣相見。那是我聽人説的、從影視裏看到的、從書裏幻想出來的關於你的故事。從此，“中國”兩個字就在我的心裏刻下了烙印，成為我心靈嚮往的奇妙國度。我開始摸索著，尋找與你的前世今生。
初 見
初見你至今，已歷春秋十載。對外面的世界抱有強烈好奇心的我終於等到緣分花開，義無反顧地奔向了夢中的你。我從未忘記過第一步踏上這片渴望已久的土地的那一瞬間，恍惚中心跳加速，你已在我眼前躍然出現。從西北的無窮大漠，到故宮的紅墻黃瓦，再到江南的小橋流水人家，我多年寄託于內心深處的所有詩情畫意剎那間都綻放異彩。如癡如醉的我仿佛化作了一個時光旅客，從你的身邊一層層剝開歷史的迷霧。不知不覺，越是探尋著，我就越沉浸其中無法自拔。過去矗立千年的你還沉澱著多少未知，我又該如何描繪，這匆匆一面竟在我心中留下了難以釋然的心結。
深 知
歲月如梭，我漸漸長大，不承想瞬息萬變的你面貌也已經煥然一新。四年前再次與你重逢的我拼盡全力開啟了你我緣分的全新征程。這次回來，我懷揣著走進你的無限期許，為自己的學業生涯謀計深遠，縱使世人眼中的你並不是最理想的求學之地。也許他們難以預料，我在這無比精彩的留學之旅上見證了你奇跡般的崛起，也見證了世界新紀元的發展里程碑。你的迅速現代化震撼了所有人，震撼了對你傾慕多年的我。我印象中那個深茂古老的你，如今已毅然卸下了舊時的塵封，一步步實現著引領時代的復興夢。高速鐵路、移動支付、電子商務、共用單車……你所創造的一系列科技成就無疑正在牽動著全世界的目光。我甚至曾經疑惑過，人來人往，世事更疊，你是否依舊屬於如此渺小的我。可令我欣慰的是，骨子裏的你還是我最初相識的那個你。在北京每一個彩霞滿天的傍晚，我依然能在京城那幽深的小衚同裏從容漫步，品嘗一杯香味濃郁的中國茶，感受喧囂忙碌中的古樸寧靜，細賞傳統與現代交匯中你身上獨有的風味。驀然回首，才發現，我想看見與尋思的過去與未來的模樣，你都有。

想 念
情意正濃，因緣未了，風起雲湧的時代卻使你我不禁相隔千里。在漫長無邊的等待中，是一路走來的深厚情誼與對你的依戀不捨給予了我無畏前行的勇氣，重新振作堅強度過想念你的每一天。或許我還不清楚，在世事變化多端的今天和你的緣分將如何再續，又或許我只能暫且將這份思念深藏心底，但我始終堅信，你我之間過去與未來的萬般糾葛冥冥之中仍不斷流淌。光陰猶在，來日方長，我心如故。與你的美麗邂逅打開了我認識這大千世界的第一扇門，也註定種下了我一生無悔的追求與信念。風雨終將會過去，靜待春暖花開時，還能看到你依然守候著我的歸期，續寫我們未完的故事……

Discovering Your Past while Embracing
Your Future

First Impression
I was a simple and innocent little girl when I first heard of you． In my mind， you were a poetic dreamland reminiscent of bountiful verses such as “Four hundred eighty splendid temples still remain， of Southern Dynasties in the mist and rain．” Your timeless classicism was the dreamland I long yearned for． Your history， classics and poetry， whether profound， solemn， romantic or aesthetic， gave me nourishment for thought． The regret was that I never met you in person． I just learned of you from hearsay， movies， TV plays and books． Nevertheless， since then， the word “China” remains in my heart and I have been dreaming of this wonderland． And my search for this amazing country thus began．
First Tour
It has been 10 years since I first met you． A curious girl eager to explore the outside world， I was dreaming of visiting you． I waited and waited until the day came finally． I was so excited． And I have never forgotten the moment when I first stepped on your land． In a trance， I felt my heart beat faster when you emerged before me． From the vast reaches of the desert in Northwest China， to the red walls and yellow roofs of the Forbidden City， and the charming waterfront brick houses and stone bridges in the regions south of Yangtze River， this amazing land of poetic and picturesque landscapes and wonders revealed its great beauty to me． Overwhelmed by your charms， I felt like a time traveler tracing the rich layers of your long history veiled in mystery． The more I searched， the deeper I was immersed． Your history spans a few thousand years， and I could not help wondering how many untapped wonders you have that I was unaware of． Although it was a short tour， it had a lasting impact on me．
Deep Appreciation
Time flies and I gradually grew up． To my surprise， you have undergone tremendous changes and now take on a new look． Four years ago， I met you again， thus starting this incredible journey． This time I was back to pursue my further studies． Some may think China is not a top choice for international students， but I firmly believe study in China is a gateway to a promising future on the world stage． My personal experience in this country has proven that I had made the right and wise choice． While having this amazing journey studying in the country， I witnessed your miraculous rise， which is a key milestone for the new era of the world． Like all the other people worldwide， I was so much amazed by your accelerated modernization， although I am an admirer of you for years． In my impression， you， with a long history and old－living civilization， have confidently shaken the dust off your feet and made strides forward to fulfill your dream of rejuvenation and to take the lead worldwide． High－speed trains， mobile payment， e－commerce， shared bikes and so on， all these technological innovations have drawn the world’s attention． In this hustling and bustling world， people come and go and things keep changing． I could not help wondering if you still belong to this humble person that is me． To my delight， you are still the one I first met． Every late afternoon with red clouds at sunset in Beijing， I can still enjoy myself roaming in the quiet alleys in the ancient capital city， savoring a cup of refreshing Chinese tea， having peace of mind at the heart of a modern metropolis and appreciating your unique charms blending tradition and modernity． All of a sudden， I found what I search for for the past and what I expect for the future — you have them all．
Unfinished Encounter
My love for you grows each and every day． It is an unfinished encounter． However， during this time of uncertainty， we are set apart a thousand miles． This waiting around seems endless． Yet it is the firm love for you that gives me the courage to carry on and cheer up every day． I am not sure when we can meet again to continue this amazing journey， or maybe for the time being I can only conceal this love in my heart． But I always believe this magic link between you and me will grow ever stronger． Good days are yet to come． And my love for you ever grows． This beautiful encounter has opened the first door for me to know the kaleidoscopic world， and shaped my lifelong pursuit and belief． The winds and storms will eventually be over． When spring comes and flowers bloom， you see， I will come back and continue the unfinished encounter between you and me…
