In my fourth year in China, as an overseas student from Bangladesh, I have enjoyed many beautiful natural scenery, experienced traditional Chinese culture, made many Chinese friends, and created my own wonderful life. During these years in Dalian, I know Dalian very well.

　　來到中國的第四年，作為一名來自孟加拉的留學生，我欣賞了許多秀美的自然風光，體驗了中國的傳統文化，結交了許多中國的朋友，也創造了自己的精彩生活。在大連的這些年，我對大連的了解也可以算得上是極其熟悉。

　　The mountains become dragons, and the seas gather fog. As early as before I came to China, I heard that Dalian has the reputation of  "Romantic City". There is an old saying in China that "seeing is better than hearing". I have a deeper understanding for this sentence after I came to Dalian, a tourist city. My first trip was Xinghai Square, the largest square in Asia. The field is vast, the blue waves are magnificent, the blue sky sets off the blue sea, the dazzling sunlight refracts the golden beach, blowing the salty sea breeze and bathing the warm sunshine, my body and mind are integrated into the surrounding beautiful scenery. There are many seas that can be compared with Xinghai Square. I also enjoyed the sea areas such as Donggang, Golden Pebble Beach and Bangchui Island. These beautiful natural scenery are deeply engraved in my mind. Dalian is also a famous mountain city,  Dahei Mountain, Baiyu Mountain and so on are well-known far and wide. After traveling through the famous scenic spots in Dalian and walking through the streets and alleys, I can feel the collision between the old cultural atmosphere and the modern fresh feeling.

　　叢山成龍，眾海聚霧。早在來到中國之前，我就聽説大連有“浪漫之都”的美譽，中國有一句古話“百聞不如一見”，這句話在我來到大連這個旅遊城市之後更加深刻的領悟了。我第一個旅行的就是星海廣場，亞洲最大的廣場。領域遼闊，碧波壯闊，湛藍的天空映襯著蔚藍的海面，耀眼的陽光折射著金色的沙灘，吹著鹹鹹的海風，沐浴暖暖的陽光，我的身心都融入周圍美好的景色。可以和星海廣場比擬的海也有不少，我還欣賞了比如東港、金石灘還有棒棰島等海域，這些秀美的自然風光都深深鐫刻在我的腦海中。大連還是一個著名的山城，大黑山、白玉山等等都遠近聞名。踏遍了大連的著名景點，也走過了大街小巷，我更能感覺到舊時的文化氣息與現代的新鮮感覺相碰撞。

　　To understand a city, one must understand its history and culture. Because of the opportunity to study abroad, I had the honor to study at Dalian Foreign Studies University. Lushunkou, where the school is located, has also become a channel for me to understand Dalian. Here, there are Lushun Museum recording historical stories, Lushun Military Port commemorating military history, and Taiyanggou, an old street bearing the memory of the times. The story of understanding Dalian begins from this, but it does not stop there. I crossed the streets and alleys in Dalian's numerous squares and crisscross old streets, saw the lights of the city, and experienced the hustle and bustle of the city. Dalian is a lively city. I am intoxicated with her unique temperament and fall in love with her charming charm.

　　了解一座城，必須了解其歷史與文化。因為留學的契機，我有幸就讀于大連外國語大學，學校所在的旅順口也成為了我了解大連的通道。在這裡，有記錄歷史故事的旅順博物館，有紀念軍事歷程的旅順軍港，也有承載時代記憶的老街太陽溝。了解大連的故事由此開始，卻不止步於此，我在大連數量眾多的廣場、縱橫交錯的老街之中，穿越了大街小巷，見識了萬家燈火，體會了市井煙火。大連，是一座鮮活的城市，我沉醉於她獨特的氣質，傾心於她迷人的魅力。

　　In Dalian, food and hustle and bustle of the city are also indispensable scenery. Dalian, a coastal city, is naturally famous for its seafood. In addition to all kinds of delicious seafood, Dalian also has its own special steamed dishes, Fried Pork in Scoop and so on. These catering cultures also show the enthusiasm and cheerfulness of Dalian people. On the way to travel and during my school days, I have made many friendly friends. Their love of life and pursuit of ideals have also given me great inspiration and encouragement. The teacher told us a saying that "one side of the soil and water support one side of the people". Dalian is such a typical existence. The magnificent landscape breeds the character of hospitality, and the exquisite architecture casts a friendly and gentle character.

　　在大連，美食與煙火氣也是必不可少的風景。大連這座濱海城市，自然以海鮮遠近聞名。大連除了各種鮮美的海鮮，還有特色的燜子、鍋包肉等等。這些飲食文化也彰顯出大連人的熱情開朗，在旅行的途中，在校的期間，我都結交了許多友善的朋友，他們對生活的熱愛、對理想的追求，也給了我很大的啟發與激勵。老師給我們講過一句俗語“一方水土養一方人”，大連就是這樣典型的存在，壯闊的山水孕育了熱情好客的品性，精緻的建築鑄造了友善柔和的性格。

　　From 2019 to 2022, I witnessed many changes in Liaoning, China. For me, what has changed is the development and progress of Liaoning, but what remains unchanged is my interest and love for Liaoning. I wish the development of Liaoning better and better, and I hope there will be more stories about China in my future!

　　從2019年到2022年，我見證了中國遼寧的許多變化，對我來説，改變的是遼寧的發展與進步，不變的是我對遼寧的興趣與熱愛。祝願遼寧的發展越來越好，也希望我的未來也有更多關於中國的故事！
