International Students Celebrating

the Mid-Autumn Festival in Special Ways

  为了丰富我校外国留学生课余生活，更好地感受中国文化，在9月24日中秋佳节当天，我校组织在校国际学生来到哈尔滨北大荒现代农业园园区进行采摘和野外素质拓展活动，并在学校食堂进行包饺子和联谊活动。　

  In order to enrich the after-school life of international students in HIP and to experience Chinese culture better, on Mid-Autumn Festival (September 24), HIP organized international students to come to Harbin Beidahuang Modern Agricultural Garden for picking and field quality development activities, and also to hold activities such as making dumplings and holding friendship party in the school canteen.

  一大早，30余名来自俄罗斯、哈萨克斯坦、泰国、蒙古等“一带一路”沿线国家的留学生在国际教育学院老师的带领下来到北大荒现代农业园园区，参观现代农业科技、农业科技成果转化、绿色有机农业的生产经营，并参与现场采摘、互动体验。现场，北大荒现代农业园园区讲解员亲自示范，外国留学生带着剪刀，提着篮子走进田间地头，挑选自己最心仪的蔬菜和水果。来自俄罗斯的伊琳娜刚摘了几分钟葡萄和萝卜就已满头大汗，第一次体验采摘的金发美女直呼“挺过瘾”。随后，大家进行了野外素质拓展活动，大家分成红蓝两队作战，不仅增强了国际学生之间的团队意识，也开拓了他们的生活视野。

  Early in the morning, more than 30 international students from Russia, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Mongolia and other countries along the "Belt and Road" line, led by faculties of the International Education Institute, came to the Beidahuang Modern Agricultural Garden to visit modern agricultural science and technology, agricultural scientific and technological achievements transformation, green organic agriculture production and management, and also participate in the field picking and interactive experience. At the scene, the interpreter of the Beidahuang Modern Agricultural Garden personally demonstrated the picking to the international students. With scissors and baskets, the international students went into the field to pick out their favorite vegetables and fruits. Russia's Irina has been sweating after picking a few minutes of grapes and radish. However, this golden hair beauty said it was very fun for this first picking experience. Then, the field quality development activity was carried out, in which the students were divided into the red team and the blue team. The activity not only enhanced the international students’ team consciousness, but also opened up their life vision.

    采摘活动结束后，大家把采摘的“战利品”拿到学校食堂，在后勤集团的大力协助下，国际学生与后勤的厨师一起学习包饺子，后勤的厨师早早地准备好了饺子馅儿和面皮，并为留学生们认真讲解了饺子的正确包法。经过一番认真的学习，留学生们便开始有模有样地包了起来，大家忙得不亦乐乎。在大家的努力下，盘中的饺子越来越多，虽然饺子形态各异，却都是大家同心协力的成果。在大家一阵忙碌过后，饺子终于上桌了，后勤集团还为外国留学生准备了丰盛的中秋团圆饭和月饼，大家还表演了具有各自国家特色的节目，联谊活动现场一片欢声笑语，互动交流拉近了彼此距离，加深了友谊。

  After the picking, students took the "spoils of war" to the school canteen. With the great help of the logistics group, international students learned from the logistics chef to make dumplings. The logistic chef prepared the dumpling stuffing and skin early, and explained the correct method of making dumplings for the international students. After serious study, the international students could make the dumplings in a good way. Also, they enjoyed themselves in the dumpling making. In the efforts of everyone, more and more dumplings were made. Although there were different forms of dumplings made, the dumplings were the result of concerted efforts. After a busy time, the dumplings finally were cooked. The logistics group also prepared a rich Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner and moon cakes for international students. International students performed programs with the characteristics of their respective countries. The party was full of laughter and joy, where the interactive communication brought each other closer and deepened their friendship.

   “这次活动不仅让我们了解到采摘的很多知识，还品尝了美食和月饼，给我们带来很多乐趣，让我们感受到家的温暖。”来自哈萨克斯坦的留学生奥玛斯欣喜地说。
