On September 5, international students of the School of International Education of Shenyang Medical College went to Shenyang Light Industry Art School with great enthusiasm and embarked on a unique journey of experiencing Chinese culture.
When the international students entered the practice building, they were instantly astonished by the dazzling and diverse styles of cheongsams before their eyes. Meanwhile, they were also drawn by the profound professional culture embodied in the cheongsams. They attentively admired each cheongsam, with curiosity and admiration filling their eyes.
Then, the international students visited the teaching content and practical content orderly along the floors. From the first floor to the third floor, they deeply understood the comprehensive teaching and rich practical activities of the school in the professional field. Everywhere they went, they carefully observed, actively asked questions, interacted frequently with the teachers and students, and the atmosphere on the scene was lively.
International students then came to the practical training operation room. A series of activities here excited them greatly. In the link of making effect pictures on computers and appreciating finished cheongsam products, they were deeply amazed by the application of modern technology in traditional clothing culture. When experiencing the structure and technological process of cheongsam, under the careful guidance of teachers, the international students operated together, touched and felt each production process by hand, and had a more intuitive understanding of the exquisite craftsmanship of Chinese traditional handicrafts.
In the cheongsam fitting session, international students one after another chose their favorite cheongsam styles. After putting them on, it seemed as if they had instantly traveled through time and space and turned into elegant oriental beauties. Aihua, an international student from Nigeria, said excitedly, "The feeling of wearing a cheongsam is so wonderful! This makes me feel the unique charm of Chinese culture even more deeply. I really like it."
The experience of handmade tie-dyeing and pattern design was also deeply loved by international students. They gave full play to their creativity and imagination and made their own unique works by hand. Jimmy, an international student from Pakistan, happily showed his tie-dye work and said, "This is my first attempt at handmade tie-dyeing. I didn't expect that I could make such a beautiful work. Chinese culture is really so interesting. I will take these works back and share them with my family and friends."
Finally, in the coffee alley full of literary and artistic atmosphere, international students wore cheongsams and took photos as souvenirs in the beautiful environment. They posed in various graceful postures and recorded this unforgettable and beautiful moment with cameras. This activity of experiencing Chinese culture not only allowed international students to personally experience the profoundness of Chinese traditional culture but also enhanced their understanding and love for China. It is believed that this activity will become a precious memory in their study abroad career and also build a solid bridge for cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.
In order to implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's spirit in his reply to international students in China, and focus on telling Chinese stories well and spreading Chinese voices well, in recent years, the School of International Education has held a series of activities for international students to experience Chinese culture many times, aiming to provide platforms and carriers for international students in China to understand China, perceive China and serve China, and cultivate more high-quality international talents. At the same time, it spreads excellent traditional Chinese culture to international students, strengthens their emotional and cultural identification with China, and guides international students in China to tell Chinese stories well, convey Chinese voices, and cultivate deep feelings of knowing and befriending China. In the future, the School of International Education will continue to build a deep-level and diversified cultural exchange platform for international students in China to perceive and understand China, continuously polish the brand of "Studying in Shenyang Medical College", show a credible, lovely and respectable image of China to the world, and contribute Shenyang Medical College's wisdom and strength to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
