我的留學生活因運動而增彩
〔吉爾吉斯斯坦〕李摯愛 鹽城工業職業技術學院
我來自吉爾吉斯斯坦，這是古絲綢之路穿越的地方，在首都比什凱克市的北邊有一條日別克—若雷大街，其中文意思就是“絲綢之路”。在我們的首都還有一條“鄧小平大街”，昭示著吉爾吉斯斯坦一直在以中國為榜樣，走有特色的改革開放之路。近年來，越來越多的中國企業到吉爾吉斯斯坦投資，街上的“中國印記”也越來越多，掌握漢語就意味著能在中資企業謀得一份待遇很不錯的工作。我的父親是一名從事水果生意的商人，他將水果出口到哈薩克、俄羅斯等國家，他經常半開玩笑地和我説：“你想不想學習漢語？將來可以把我們的優質水果出口到中國去。”在2017年我真的獲得了到中國讀書的機會，在鹽城工業職業技術學院學習國際商務專業。
我從小喜歡運動，特別喜歡跑步和排球，在S． Karalaiev中學時參加了學校的排球隊，經過努力訓練爭取到了球隊的主力位置，我們球隊曾經獲得過三次城市的冠軍，我個人也獲得過兩次最佳球員稱號。我喜歡通過電視或網路觀看一些國際排球隊的比賽，中國女排給我的印象很深，姑娘們總是能夠團結一心、頑強拼搏。我也總是夢想著和我最喜歡的排球運動員朱婷有一張闔影。
剛來到鹽城工業職業技術學院沒多久，我們學校舉辦運動會，我報名了1000米和接力跑步的比賽，並且取得了好的成績。非常幸運的是，我們國際教育學院很快也組建了自己的排球隊，我主動承擔起了組織大家日常訓練的任務。我們球隊還有來自哈薩克、烏克蘭、俄羅斯的同學，大家雖然來自不同的國家，有著不同的語言和文化，但是在排球場上，我們很快融合到了一起，排球成了我們增進理解的紐帶，使得我們能夠為共同目標而拼搏。在2018年學校的排球聯賽中，我們互相配合、相互鼓勵，通過一個個精彩的扣球、攔網，奉獻了一場場精彩的比賽，最終獲得了全校第二名的好成績。我們的努力表現也贏得了很多中國學生的稱讚，大家紛紛豎起大拇指，這一刻真的感謝排球這項體育運動，使我們在異國他鄉真切感受到了“體育無國界”這句話的意義。
我的運動能力得到了老師的肯定，因此也獲得了很多參加校外體育比賽的機會。2018年在鹽城大洋灣生態旅遊景區，我們組隊參加了“我家在鹽城——國際友好人士公園定向賽”，與來自俄羅斯、南韓、南非、哈薩克等“一帶一路”沿線10個國家的60余名選手同場競技，我們協同完成了袋鼠跳、吸管接力、雙人跳繩等站點任務，並在公園裏尋找印有“我”“家”“在”“鹽”“城”等字樣的手旗，最終我們組在最短的時間內完成了任務，取得了大賽的第一名，獲得了非常有紀念意義的獎牌和證書。這個活動加深了我們對生態鹽城、美麗鹽城的感知，促進了我們留學生與在鹽城學習和工作的國際人士的交往。
最讓我自豪和驕傲的事情發生在2019年，我和學校另外7名留學生組成了鹽城市代表隊，在美麗的蘇州東山參加了“悅動江蘇，結誼五洲——在江蘇外國人定向越野大賽”。比賽是在茶園中尋寶，非常有趣和刺激，比賽中我校來自哈薩克的冷洋同學在最後衝刺階段摔倒，造成皮膚擦傷，現場的醫護人員非常及時地對他進行了包紮治療，這次雖然沒有取得理想的成績，但是我們仍然表現出了永不言棄的體育精神，也結識了更多在江蘇的各國朋友，同時還領略到了蘇州這座現代與古典相交融的城市的魅力，這次比賽的經歷將永遠留在我的記憶中。

在來到中國三年多的時間裏，我雖然沒有機會和我的偶像朱婷合影，但看到中國女排以十一連勝的佳績取得女排世界盃冠軍的那一刻，我也深深被中國女排永不言棄的精神所感動，發自內心地為中國女排喝彩，為我的偶像獲得MVP而歡呼。運動，帶給我的不僅僅是過五關斬六將、奮勇爭先的激情，更像是給我打開了另一扇了解中國的窗戶，使我在中國的留學生活更加豐富與精彩。
Sports Enrich My Study Life in China
〔Kyrgyzstan〕 Kanatbek Kyzy Aliza， Yancheng Polytechnic College
I come from Kyrgyzstan， a country on the ancient Silk Road． On the north side of the capital Bishkek there is a street named Zhibek－Joreh， which just means “Silk Road” in Chinese． There is also a “Deng Xiaoping Street” in our capital， which indicates that Kyrgyzstan has been following the example of China and taking the path of reform and opening up with its own characteristics． In recent years， more and more Chinese companies are investing in Kyrgyzstan， and there are more and more “Chinese marks” on the streets． Mastering Chinese means obtaining a good job in Chinese－invested companies． My father， a fruit businessman who exports fruits to Kazakhstan and Russia， used to say to me half－jokingly， “Do you want to learn Chinese？ In the future， you can export our high－quality fruits to China．” In 2017 I finally got the opportunity to study international business at Yancheng Polytechnic College．
I have been fond of sports since childhood， especially running and volleyball． I joined the school volleyball team in S． Karalaiev Middle School． Through hard training， I won a main position of the team． Our team had won three city championships and I had been named the best player twice． I like to watch some international volleyball matches on TV or the internet． The Chinese women’s volleyball team greatly impressed me． The girls are always able to work together and fight hard． I always dream of taking a picture with my favorite volleyball player Zhu Ting．
Not long after I arrived at Yancheng Polytechnic College in Jiangsu Province， a sports meeting was held in the college． I registered for the 1，000－meter race and relay race and had very good achievements． Luckily， our School of International Education soon formed its own volleyball team， and I took the initiative to organize the daily training for everyone． We also had students from Kazakhstan， Ukraine， and Russia on our team． Although we came from different countries with different languages and cultures， we quickly united on the volleyball court， and volleyball became a bond of understanding that allowed us to fight for the same goals． In the college’s volleyball league in 2018， we co－operated and encouraged each other， and presented a wonderful game with our great dunking and blocking skills． We finally won the second place in the whole college． Our hard work won us a lot of praise from the Chinese students， who gave us thumbs－up． We really appreciated the sport of volleyball at that moment， which made us really understand the meaning of “sports without borders” in a foreign country．
My athletic ability has been recognized by my teachers， and therefore， I have been given many opportunities to participate in sports competitions outside of school． In 2018， in Dayang Bay Ecological Tourist Area of Yancheng， we formed a team to participate in the “My Family in Yancheng – International Friendship Park Orienteering Competition” and competed with more than 60 players from 10 countries along the Belt and Road including Russia， South Korea， South Africa， Kazakhstan， etc． We completed the kangaroo jump， straw relay， double rope skipping and other tasks， and searched for flags printed with such Chinese characters as “我”， “家”， “在”， “鹽”， “城”（My home is at Yancheng） around the park． Finally， our group completed the task in the shortest time and won the first place in the competition． We were awarded a medal and a certificate， which were very meaningful． This activity deepened our perception of “ecological Yancheng， beautiful Yancheng”， promoted the communication between our international students and other international friends studying and working in Yancheng．
The proudest thing happened in 2019． Seven other international students and I formed the Yancheng representative team and participated in a competition named “Joyful Jiangsu， Befriending Five Continents – Foreigners in Jiangsu Orienteering Cross－country Competition” in the beautiful Dongshan of Suzhou city． The competition was a treasure hunt in the tea garden， which was very interesting and exciting． During the competition， my schoolmate Leng Yang from Kazakhstan fell down in the final sprinting and had skin abrasions， which received very timely treatment from the medical staff on site． Although we did not achieve the desired result this time， we still showed the sportsmanship of never giving up． We also made more friends from different countries in Jiangsu and appreciated the charm of Suzhou， a city where modernity and classicality meet． The experiences from this competition will stay in my memory forever．
Although I haven’t had a chance to take a photo with my idol Zhu Ting during my three years in China， I was deeply moved by the never－give－up spirit of the Chinese women’s volleyball team when I saw them win the Women’s Volleyball World Cup with 11 consecutive victories． I cheered from my heart for the Chinese women’s volleyball team and for my idol winning the MVP． What sports give me is not only the passion of overcoming obstacles and striving for the top， but also another window of understanding China， which have made my life in China richer and better．
