活出中國精神
〔巴基斯坦〕 哈菲澤 西北工業大學
回首往昔，當我知道即將動身前往中國時，儘管對這個未知國家的生活、文化、機遇有著一些憂慮，但濃厚的喜悅與期待之情仍令我感到無比激動。
我來自巴基斯坦港口城市卡拉奇，大約兩年前，也就是2019年的秋天，我來到了這片充滿著科技奇跡的土地。這裡有著燦爛的社會文化，秀麗的自然風光，悠久而迷人的歷史，充滿活力而穩定的政治。在這裡，我目睹了高效的政治領導對生活各個方面的影響，包括公正完善的法制、小康幸福的百姓、自發的社會責任感、充分保障的人權、便捷高效的移動支付以及卓有成效的脫貧攻堅。
中國在技術進步上取得的成績舉世矚目、毋庸置疑，堪稱科技奇跡。當我回到祖國，和朋友們聊起來時，我常常將中國的經濟比作“二維碼”經濟。中國在經濟、金融事務上的便民、高效，即使是發達國家也不得不敬佩。令人驚奇的是，整個中國龐大的金融系統，竟然是以誠實的品德為基礎建立的。我仍然記得第一次在便利店裏用支付寶付款的經歷。我很驚奇，店主居然沒問我是否付過款，所以我天真地問中國朋友是怎麼回事。那位中國朋友的回答令我很驚奇，他説：“他為什麼要認為你沒有付錢呢？”在中國，整個支付系統都是“自我驅動”的；民眾對誠信精神的恪守，對社會的責任感，才是整個金融支付系統的原動力。
我們來到中國幾個月後，不幸的事情發生了，新冠肺炎疫情為世界帶來了前所未有的挑戰。一個國家的強大與治理能力只有在災難面前才能真正展現。我作為一名抗擊疫情的志願者，切身感受到了中國的強大、堅韌、團結，感受到了人們對政府的信任，感受到了人們的遵紀守法。正是由於這些美德的存在，14億多中國人才能團結起來，在世界範圍內率先取得抗疫的勝利，為世界各國樹立了榜樣。

中國不僅對我的個人發展起到了很大作用，也促使我採取更加健康的生活方式。我剛來到中國時，身材處在肥胖的邊緣；在這一年的時間裏，我恢復了健康的體形，並且成功完成了馬拉松比賽，這也是我來到中國的另一大收穫。去年秋天，我們幾個身體都不算太好的朋友，參加了西安馬拉松比賽；我們爬了七公里的山路，登上一千米高的山頂，再從山頂走下來。我永遠無法忘記，我們在路上遇到的那些勇敢、堅毅的人們，即使他們身體有所不適，但仍然為了團隊、為了這次比賽而咬著牙堅持下來。
在完成這次比賽之後，我感覺我的心靈從所有看不見的枷鎖中解放了出來；從那時起，我的徒步旅行、跑步、騎自行車和健身的激情被點燃了。在這種熱情的驅使下，我前往秦嶺遠足、登山，參觀了秦嶺的諸多風景名勝；此外，我還參加了許多線上與線下的馬拉松比賽，又獲得了四個馬拉松比賽的獎牌，這些獎牌都被我挂在家裏，裝飾著我的屋子。每當我看到這些獎牌，永不停歇的動力與熱情便充斥著我的內心。
在中國的這些經歷不僅對我起到了莫大的幫助，也使我的家人，尤其是自己那蹣跚學步的孩子受益匪淺。儘管有一些語言障礙，但他還是深受幼兒園老師和鄰居們的喜愛。我的孩子和中國的孩子們一起在公園、遊樂場、花園玩耍；我能感受到，他將來一定比我更想念中國。
這段美麗的旅程即將告一段落。在人生的這一站，我親眼見證了中國人民為實現共産主義的偉大理想而世世代代努力奮鬥的壯麗史詩，這一理想喚醒了人們心中的美德，促使人們以積極的態度生活，共同為中國夢而奮鬥，繼而實現以科學技術為標誌的、整體國家實力的上升。
最近，習近平主席為北京大學的留學生們寫了回信，展現出中國政府對我們留學生的關心，令我十分感動；在習近平主席的鼓勵下，我將繼續在社交媒體上傳遞我在中國生活的所見所聞。我還想向我的中國朋友們致以衷心的感謝，你們為中國的繁榮昌盛而團結一致、努力奮鬥的精神使我備受鼓舞。最後，作為一個外國留學生，能在這片土地上度過人生中最美好的兩年時光，我感到十分開心，我會銘記那些美好的回憶與中國精神，在追夢的路上不忘初心！
Live up to Chinese Spirit

When I knew that I was about to leave for China， I was so excited because of strong joy and high expectation， despite there are some concerns about future life， culture and opportunities of this unknown country．
I came from Karachi， a port city of Pakistan． In the fall of 2019， I arrived at this wonderful land full of scientific and technological miracles． It has a splendid social culture， beautiful natural scenery， long and charming history and stable politics full of vitality． Here， I have witnessed the impact of efficient political leadership on all aspects of life， including fair and perfect legal system， happy people， spontaneous social responsibility， fully guaranteed human rights， portable and efficient mobile payments and effective poverty alleviation．
China’s achievements in technology are obvious and can be called scientific and technological miracles． When I returned to my home country and talked to my friends， I often compared China’s economy with the “QR code” economy． Even developed countries have to admire China’s convenience and efficiency in economic and financial affairs． It is amazing that China’s huge financial system is based on honesty． I still remember the first time I paid with Alipay in a convenience store． I was surprised that the owner didn’t ask if I had paid， so I naively asked my Chinese friend． His answer surprised me， “Why did he bother to think you didn’t pay it？” In China， the whole payment system is “self－driven”； the public’s integrity and social responsibility are the driving force of the whole financial payment system．
A few months after we came to China， something unfortunately happened – the COVID－19 has brought unprecedented challenges to the world． A country’s power and governance ability can only be truly shown in the face of a disaster． As a volunteer in fighting the epidemic， I have personally felt the strength， tenacity and unity of China， people’s trust in the government and people’s compliance with discipline and law． It is because of these virtues that over 1．4 billion Chinese people can unite and take the lead in the global victory against the epidemic， setting an example for the rest of the world．
Study in China has not only played a great role in my personal development， but also prompted me to adopt a healthier lifestyle． When I first came to China， I was on the edge of obesity； but in China， I returned to a healthy shape and even completed the marathon， which is another big bonus． Last fall， some of our friends who are in poor health participated in the Xi’an Marathon； we climbed seven kilometers of mountain road and finally arrived the top， which is 1，000 meters above the sea level． I can never forget that the brave， resolute people we met on the road， even if they felt uncomfortable， they still refused to give up for the team and for this competition．
After completing this race， I felt my mind liberated from all invisible chains； since then my passion for hiking， running， cycling and fitness has been ignited． Driven by this enthusiasm， I hiked to climb mountains and visited many scenic spots in the Qinling Mountains； I participated in many online and offline marathons and won four more marathon medals， which I hung them in my home to decorate my house． Whenever I see these medals， the restless motivation and enthusiasm will fill my heart．
These experiences in China have not only helped me a lot， but also benefited my family， especially my own toddler． Despite some language barriers， he was loved by kindergarten teachers and neighbours． My child plays in parks， amusement parks and gardens with Chinese children； I believe that he must miss China more than I do in the future．
This beautiful journey in China is coming to an end． At this station in life， I’ve witnessed the Chinese people to realize the great ideal of communism in generations， the ideal awakened people in the virtue， inspired them with a positive attitude to life and struggled for the Chinese dream． The overall national strength has been improved thanks to the development of science and technology．
Recently， President Xi Jinping wrote back to overseas students in Peking University showing Chinese government’s concern for us． With the encouragement of President Xi， I will continue to pass on what I saw and heard in China through social media． I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my Chinese friends． They have encouraged me by hard working for China’s prosperity； Finally， as a international student， I feel very happy to spend the best two years in my life on this land． I will remember those beautiful memories and Chinese spirit， and never forget my original aspiration on the road to pursue my dream！
