拉瑪和朋友

　　拉瑪是一位留學生，2026年初，學校放寒假，拉瑪沒有回國，打算在西安過年。他拍攝的短視頻《外國留學生怎麼在中國過寒假》意外收穫許多關注，許多網友熱情幫助，隔空告訴他在西安怎麼過年，還提供吃、玩、旅遊攻略等，全網互動讓拉瑪倍感驚喜：“我感覺像回到家一樣，大家都那麼友善。西安的好去處太多了，根本跑不過來！”

　　Rama is an international student. In early 2026,his school was on winter break. Rather than return to his home country, he decided to spend the Spring Festival here in Xi'an. Meanwhile, he took a video titled "How International Students Spend Winter Break in China" and gained widespread attention unexpectedly. Many netizens' hospitable help, sharing tips on how to celebrate the holiday in Xi'an, providing dining, entertainment, and travel guides, deeply surprised Rama. "It feels like being at home. Everyone is so kind. There are so many great places in Xi'an, which makes it impossible to visit them all!"

　　拉瑪在西安有許多朋友，這緣于他能説一口流利的中文。

　　Rama has made many friends in Xi'an, because he can speak fluent Mandarin.

　　他的母語是西班牙語，年少時學過英語。彼時阿根廷首都布宜諾斯艾利斯的中國城車水馬龍，漢語的使用場景也越來越多，這讓他敏銳地感知到中文的實用價值與未來潛力。

拉瑪和朋友製作美食

　　His native language is Spanish, andhe has learned English when he was a child. Back then, the Chinatown in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, was in constant hustle and bustle, with growing use of Chinese. It struck him that there was practical value and future potential in Chinese.

　　15歲那年，拉瑪在家鄉的語言學校第一次接觸中文；十年光陰流轉，25歲時他重拾這份熱愛，即便學業繁忙，也從未中斷漢語學習。他在孔子學院開啟線上中文學習之旅，從一週一次的課程，主動增加到一週兩次，沒有人強制要求，唯有發自內心的熱愛。

　　At the age of 15, Rama, for the first time, took his Chinese class at a local language school. Ten years later, at 25, he rekindled his passion and, despite a busy schedule,continued to study Chinese. Taking his Chinese course online atConfucius Institute, he later voluntarilyincreased his weekly classes from one to two sessions entirely out of hisheartfelt love.

拉瑪和西安老人交談

　　“偏旁是我的好朋友，”領悟漢字構字邏輯後的拉瑪，瞬間豁然開朗：他細細琢磨“主意、注意、主義”的細微差別，拆解“學”字裏藏著的“孩子求學”的深意，留意“興趣”的“趣”帶著聆聽的“耳朵”，甚至從“西安”的字形裏，讀出“居中安穩、有山守護”的踏實，從“長安”之名裏，讀懂了“長治久安”的美好祝福……

　　"Radicals are my best friends," Rama said.After figuring out how Chinese characters are built, suddenly, everything clicked for him. He carefully found out the subtle differences between words like "主意(idea)", "注意(attention)", and "主義(doctrine)"; discovered themeaning hidden in "學(study)", which means "孩子求學(childseeking knowledge)"; noticed that "趣(interest)" resembles "聆聽的耳朵(an listening ear)"; even read into the character "西安" a sense of stability and protection by mountains, and "長安" out of the beautiful blessing of "長治久安(long-lasting peace and stability)".

　　這些藏在漢字裏的智慧與浪漫，讓拉瑪沉醉。他格外享受用鋼筆書寫漢字的過程，在一筆一畫間感受中文的結構美與意境美，也常和阿根廷老鄉用中文交流內心感受，讓語言成為連接心靈的橋梁。

　　All the wisdom and romance hidden within Chinese characters captivate Rama. He particularly enjoys writing Chinese characters with a fountain pen, feeling their structural and poetic beauty stroke by stroke. He often shares his thoughts in Chinese with fellow Argentines, turning the language into a bridge betweenhearts.

　　“中文在世界上會越來越重要。”採訪中，拉瑪一邊喝著家鄉的馬黛茶，一邊篤定地對記者説。

　　"Chinese will become increasingly important around the world," Rama told the reporter with conviction, sipping mate tea from his homeland.

　　In the summer of 2024, 27-year-old Rama joined a summer camp organized by the Confucius Institute, stepping onto China for the first time. His three-week trip to Xi'an—the bustle of Xiaozhai, the grandeur of the Terracotta Warriors, the majestic Bell Tower, and the vibrant life along the City Wall—made himcompletely in love with the city.

　　2025年，他成功申請成為語言生，正式赴西安求學。

　　For Rama, learning extends far beyondclassrooms; it continues on the road. As a travel lover, he has honed his skillsas a "transportation expert", independently mapping out travel routes and becoming adept at subway transfers and high-speed rail travel.

　　在西安的日子裏，拉瑪與夥伴們一起觀燈展、誦唐詩、登城墻，參加各種文化活動，他的熱情健談，感染了很多人。

　　After watching thehistorical performance "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty" at the Tang Paradise, he stepped onto the stageto chat with the actors. Turning to the actress playing Yang Guifei, he said, "Your makeup and costumes are so beautiful that I want to capture every detail and share them online, so netizens can experience the true beauty of the Orient."

　　2026年初，他和老鄉、室友一起遊走了中國12個城市，上海、蘇州杭州、長沙、武漢……每座城市的美都被他收進旅途記憶，以文、圖、視頻形式發佈在社交媒體，許多網友因為關注他的賬號而加深對中國的了解和熱愛。

　　In early 2026, he traveled across 12 Chinese cities with his fellow countrymen and roommates, includingShanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Changsha, and Wuhan. He captured all the beauty of each city, sharing stories, photos, and videos on social media. Many followers, drawn to his account, deepened their understandingand affection for China.

　　從阿根廷孔子學院線上識字，到西安校園伏案研學；從鋼筆描摹方塊漢字，到用腳步丈量華夏山河；從杯中的馬黛茶，到舌尖的西安美食，拉瑪用十多年的堅持，奔赴一場與中文、與長安的浪漫約定。這段跨越山海的人生歷程，也讓他成為中外文化交流的使者，把自己在中國、在西安感受到的美好，傳遞到故鄉阿根廷及更遠的地方。

　　From learning Chinese characters online at Argentina Confucius Instituteto studying diligentlyon campus in Xi'an; from tracingChinese characters withpen to exploring China's vast landscapes on foot; frommate tea to Xi'an's local delicacies, Rama has spent over a decade fulfilling a romantic promise with the Chinese language and this ancient capital, Chang'an.
