What are you planning to do this weekend? "" I'm planning to do my Chinese homework. ”Very good! What about you? ”I plan to sleep at home. ”In a classroom of over 20 square meters in Karakur, Issyk Kul, Kyrgyzstan, Chinese teacher Kubanechybekova is practicing Chinese dialogue with several children in their teens. The students' lively and interesting answers occasionally trigger cheerful laughter. Last year, Kubanechybekova and her family founded a Chinese language training center, which currently has about 40 students. I have always wanted to establish a Chinese training institution, and being a Chinese teacher is my ideal, "she said. Kubanechybekova, 26, has been fascinated by Chinese characters since she was young. She believes that 'every Chinese character is a painting with special meaning'. She started learning Chinese officially from middle school. During her university years, she studied translation studies, with Chinese being a compulsory course. She also completed online courses for further studies at Lanzhou University. In 2023, Kubanechybekova participated in a Chinese language teacher training course at Dalian Foreign Studies University through a Chinese scholarship program. This experience strengthened her determination to establish a Chinese language training institution. The first time I went to China was unforgettable. It was cleaner than I had imagined, with more convenient transportation and modern living. ”Kubanechybekova said, "There are many children in Kyrgyzstan who want to learn Chinese, and I hope to help them realize their desire to go to China and experience the real China." She also plans to cooperate with Chinese universities and invite Chinese students to Kyrgyzstan to deepen mutual understanding between young people from the two countries through exchanges. I have crossed mountains and seas, as well as through crowds of people. Everything I used to have, in the blink of an eye, is drifting away like smoke... "At the Confucius Institute of Osh State University in Kyrgyzstan, third year student Krzybayev played and sang Chinese songs on guitar with his classmates after class. Singing Chinese songs makes me feel very happy, "he said. When Krzybayev was a child, he enjoyed watching Chinese kung fu movies, which sparked his idea of learning Chinese. After entering university, he became a student majoring in translation studies. I really enjoy learning Chinese: writing Chinese characters, copying sentences, watching Chinese movies, and I often study late at night without feeling bored. "In my sophomore year, Kertibayev went to Hainan Normal University to study. I have made many Chinese friends and even seen the ocean! "He, who loves singing, also won first place in the Chinese singing competition for international students at school. This is the greatest encouragement for me to learn Chinese well. This year, Krzybayev has included his participation in the "Chinese Bridge" competition in his plan, hoping to have the opportunity to go to China to participate in the finals. In his opinion, this is something that 'just thinking about it makes me feel excited'. With the increasingly close exchanges between China and Kyrgyzstan, learning Chinese is becoming a popular choice for more and more young people in Kyrgyzstan. Taking the Confucius Institute at Osh National University as an example, since its establishment in 2013, the institute has trained about 17000 students, and nearly 600 students have gone to China for further studies through scholarship programs. Language paves the way, economic and trade bridges are built. Outside of campus, talents proficient in Chinese are becoming an important force in promoting economic and trade exchanges between the two countries. Our honey comes from Tianshan Ranch, naturally pure. ”At the 15th China Xinjiang Kashgar Central Asia South Asia Commodity Fair held in August this year, the exhibition area of Kyrgyzstan, the guest country, was particularly lively. Kurmanbayeva, an expert from the Jilin Export Development and Promotion Center, warmly introduced the advantages and highlights of her country's honey to merchants in fluent Chinese. Kurmanbayeva told reporters that more and more business people around her are choosing to learn Chinese, believing that it is a "key" to opening up the Chinese market. Mastering Chinese not only adds a language skill, but also earns trust and opportunities. "At the trade fair, many Chinese exhibitors were moved by Kurmanbayeva's professional expression and detailed explanations. Through her matchmaking, multiple companies from both countries reached cooperation intentions, and she deeply felt the value of her work from it. May the friendship between Kyrgyzstan and China be as sweet as honey, permeating the hearts of the two peoples. "(Xinhua News Agency)
