金秋九月，梦启新篇。2024年秋季学期伊始，大工校园迎来了五洲新生，他们带着对未来的无限憧憬，不远万里来到中国；他们满怀青春活力，为国际化的大工校园再添靓丽的色彩。新生们洋溢的笑脸中，有的流露着初见的青涩，有的表现出入学的兴奋，有的看上去胸有成竹，有的算得上久别重逢。梦想让他们在这个收获的季节与大工相遇，人生中最美的年华就此结下与中国的缘分。

【大工情节·追求卓越】

I applied to Dalian University of Technology in 2021 and was fortunate to receive a Chinese government scholarship. My major is Economics and Management, which I chose because of the immense benefits it offers for my future, especially when combined with proficiency in Chinese. Upon my arrival, I was quickly immersed in the vibrant life of international students. To improve my Chinese and make my life in China easier, I took Chinese courses provided by the university. These classes greatly helped me in daily interactions and academic settings. Eager to engage with the local culture, I joined multiple clubs and participated in social activities, where I made Chinese friends. Writing my master's dissertation was a significant challenge, but my Chinese mentors were there to guide me every step of the way. They explained the fundamentals, introduced me to the Chinese university research system, and helped me improve my work. Beyond academics, I found friends with whom I explored Dalian, creating cherished memories together. The friendly and helpful environment at the university has made my experience truly special. All these positive experiences have inspired me to continue my studies here. I have decided to pursue a PhD under the guidance of the same supervisor, confident that this is the right path for my academic and personal growth.

I completed my 3-year master's degree at Dalian University of Technology and am now continuing my studies here as a PhD student. Before coming here, I thought it would be difficult to adapt to a different culture and language, and to be honest, I was scared. However, I must say that China is a comfortable country, and it is full of kind and tolerant people, so much so that I have decided to stay here for four more years. Our DUT is one of the top universities in China, especially for my department, which is a quite advanced and highly recognized. The international student office, Chinese supervisors, and lab colleagues are all very kind. I have friends from all over the world here. I would like to express my endless thanks to the entire SIE family, to China, and to all my Chinese acquaintances for allowing me to live this beautiful life I have created 13,000 kilometers away from home, and for having a significant place in my career. I have gained many unforgettable experiences here, and I am excited to add more to them!

【拥抱挑战·共创未来】

      作为一名从小接受多元文化教育的学生，我对商业管理领域充满着浓厚的兴趣。正因为如此我选择了大连理工大学，它的工商管理专业提供了实践与理论相结合的独特学习模式。我希望通过在这里的学习，能够将所学知识应用于实际的商业环境中，从而为未来的职业发展打下坚实的基础。同时，大连理工大学丰富的国际交流机会也吸引了我，让我有机会在全球化背景下开拓眼界。

      我一直重视提高自己的中文能力，熟练的运用汉语让我与不同文化背景的人们交流时都游刃有余，来到大工前，在家里和在学校我都会练习中文，此外，我对中国文化也有自己的理解，这也帮助我变得更加自信。我明白，未来专业的学习对我实现自己的职业目标至关重要，也做好了迎接留学挑战的准备，我相信，坚持心之所向，我会拥有更多机会和可能，来到大工留学，我会成为更好的自己。

      随着智能的发展和科技的创新，计算机行业已经遍布在人们生活的各个角落，这也是我最感兴趣和最理想的专业，更棒的是，我来到中国这个技术飞速进步的国家学习计算机专业。虽然我的专业有一定难度，虽然在整个大连市包括我在内，只有两名国际学生来自我的国家，我仍然抱着坚定的信心，我会珍惜好这四年在大连理工大学学习的机会，不辜负留学中国的志向，不给自己的青春留下遗憾。

      来到大工学习专业之前，我在预科学校学习了一年汉语，通过中文这个窗口，我开始了解并喜欢中国文化，现在我已经能够在日常中比较熟练的运用汉语，未来我还会利用好课堂和课外的机会不断加强练习。我希望，以后我可以用计算机的语言，博大精深的汉语和我自己国家的语言，打开世界的大门，为我个人在行业里的发展和多元文化间的互动发挥作用。

      我高中的时候有一个梦想，就是来中国上大学，除了来上学，我也想找一个地方一年可以看到四个季节，还靠近海边，所以大连理工大学就是我最好的答案。这所大学是在中国东北沿海最好的大学，教师有专业的教学能力，而从这里毕业的学生也都是非常优秀的。

      这是我来大工的第一个月，第一天我报到时，真的没想到学校会这么大，老师们也很可爱，有什么问题都可以问他们，最令我印象深刻的是老师可以很快记得每个学生的名字！学校的宿舍很干净，管理员们也很可爱，我甚至可以和她们练习说中文。开课的第一天，我只是坐在课堂上点头，不是因为我听懂了，而是我没能跟上老师讲的内容和课堂的节奏，但我决心要克服困难，下课之后我就回到宿舍复习，经过反复理解，原本陌生的教材变得越来越熟悉，之后我还会在上课一晚去预习一下，标记不懂的词和不明白的地方，上课时就会特别留意老师的讲解，这样课堂上的知识也就没有那么难了，更幸运的是，每当我请教朋友，他们都会愿意帮助我，有时候是泰国朋友，有时候是马来西亚朋友，我们一边学习一边成为了朋友。学校有很多不同国家的同学，不管来自哪里，大家都会互相帮助，因为我们都是大工人。

【海纳百川·连理丝路】

When I were applying for my Master degree in the field of Mechanics. I searched a lot and never find such a university like Dalian University of Technology. China also has some prestigious universities but Dalian University of Technology (DUT) is one of the best university in China. Furthermore, as you know that China emerged second global economic power and launched myriad projects like Belt Road initiative (BRI) is an flagship project for the region as well as for China. In addition to this, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a part of BRI. Which will be proven is a game changer for the region. As part from it, I am really impressed by the way that Chinese people have proved themselves to be dedicated to their work and with true efforts that they set China as a successful example for other developing countries. Furthermore, the fastest growing economy, technological advancement and the global ranking education institutes of China with high reputation make a great aspiration to me for the better carrier perspectives. So that, I decided to pursue my studies here under the guidance of the same supervisor. In nutshell, I recommended Dalian University of Technology for the international students particularly for their future.

      小的时候，到处看到中文文字，我就想读它，也想能说中文。 2018年，我在喀布尔大学孔子学院第一次开始学习汉语。我在那里学习了四年。培训过程中，除了汉语课外，我还了解了中国的历史和文化。我写了一篇《阿中文化关系》和《中国在阿富汗教育中的作用》的文章，都发表在当地比较知名的刊物上。 通过一系列的研究，我在《中阿文化关系中》写到，伟大的丝绸之路促进了两个地区之间的贸易和文化交流。这导致了中国和阿富汗之间艺术风格、文化思想的共享。因此毕业后，我想来到中国真正的了解这个国家的历史和文化，学习汉语并在学业上有所进步，现在我已经实现了，我在大连理工大学学习汉语。我很高兴来到这个美丽的城市，结识了很多中国人和来自不同国家的朋友。我想在完成汉语课程后继续在这所大学学习。

And here I am on the rise, pointing to the horizon, And here is, at the end of this little morning, a glimmer of hope that animates me and marks the hope of a dream that I nurtured by choosing this beautiful country. There is nothing comparable to where I come from, and I am amazed by these great people's harmonious development model and humanism. Far from all I had imagined, this country and the host University (Dalian University of Technology) are more than a concept of innovation. It is a true technical revolution and a philosophical inspiration linking scientific development and technological achievements.It is paramount to emphasize the high sense of consideration and warm welcome. Local community support guarantees the dynamism of the Chinese nation’s social development. It is a starting point for me to reinvent the dynamics of cooperation between this nation and my country and between our research structures, which must be inspired by this more innovative model offered by DUT. Even the language is no longer a barrier with the multicultural brewing on campus. The fluidity of the exchanges with directors and mutual assistance make the living environment more friendly and attractive.

Today, my presence on the DUT campus has helped me gain a different understanding of the academic world, which has led me to work more cooperatively to develop a partnership in applied research--a national economic and social partnership with long-term objectives through developing trade and cooperation between China and Africa.

Thus, the fluidity of circulation between the two continents and direct exchanges between researchers could be improved.

【中文为媒·放眼世界】

      我来自俄罗斯堪察加半岛。小的时候，我就梦想着学习外语、研究其他国家的文化、寻找外国朋友。学习汉语使我的生活变得非常有趣，但对我来说这还不够，我想让更多人体验到这种乐趣。出于这个原因，我选择了现在这个专业。我非常喜欢中国，尤其是美丽的大连，所以得到大连理工大学的录取通知时我非常激动，我真的很想在大连理工大学这样一所一流高校学习！到达学校之后，我已经遇到了许多善良的同学和老师，帮助我完成注册需要做的每一件事。大工的校园太大了，所以我迷路了许多次，但每次当我在校园里迷路的时候，都会有中国学生帮助我指路，这种互相帮助、相互支持的校园氛围太棒了。这所神奇的大学不仅为我提供了高水平的教育资源，而且还让我拥有了许多来自世界各地的朋友，我很期待未来在这里的生活。

      我个人从小就接触到中文。在口语方面，课外我会回到家中跟母亲练习说中文，跟父亲说日语。在高二时我为了大学考虑，我报考了HSK的考试，之后慢慢开始学习写汉字和汉语语法。当时还没考虑的那么的深，也没想到会上中国的大学。后来，在高三的后期HSK在东京举办了活动，那次展览让我认识了大工，也让我感受到了大工的魅力。更重要的是，我喜爱的机械的专业在大工是个强项。所以我决定申请在大工学习。在日本我是三月份毕业，之后我就选择了到大工学习预科。

      来大工之后，我发现大工的学习资源特别的丰富。老师们都非常的亲切，一开始刚来到这里紧张的心情马上就缓解了。在预科我学习了汉语，数学，物理等等。让我获得了很多必要的知识。到本科之后更加的印证了预科的重要性。在大学，我开始意识到必须要自己管理自己。很多课都是在很大的阶梯教室，很多学生会出现在课堂上，这激发了我去自学、自律。虽然我学习的专业有些难，但我的“学霸”中国同学经常帮助我，在这样专业的学术环境和积极的校园氛围中学习，我感到自己充满了进步的可能和动力。

      在白俄罗斯国立大学与大连理工大学联合学院读本科时，我学的是物理学专业。但是随着学习的深入，我逐渐发现自己对经贸方向的兴趣，尤其是对研究白俄罗斯与中国未来合作前景的兴趣。在白俄罗斯战略研究所的帮助下，我在过去几年一直在撰写关于中国和白俄罗斯关系的文章。我与中国的缘分由来许久，从14岁第一次接触中国文化时就对此非常着迷，15岁就只身前往中国，开始了自己的访学生涯，我的这一成就也获得了时任中国驻白俄罗斯大使的关注和鼓励。来到大连理工大学的第一天，我就喜欢上了这所大学，这里包容的环境使我很快就交到了新朋友。我能看到白中两国未来存在的巨大机遇，我很高兴自己能在大连理工大学学习！
