Recently, 23 teachers and students from the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School participated in a closing ceremony for the 2019 Hungarian Youth Cultural Tour in Southern Guangdong, after they visited Shenzhen for the last few days of their trip.
近日，“2019匈牙利青少年南粤文化行”在广州禅武文化中心闭幕。在闭幕式之前，匈中双语学校的师生们前往中国改革开放代表城市——深圳，在东山寺，大鹏湾度过了启程回国前的中国时光。
The 2019 Hungarian Youth Cultural Tour in Southern Guangdong kicked off on June 24 at the Zen Culture Center in Tianhe of Guangzhou and twenty students and three teachers from the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School in Hungary participated and explored traditional Chinese cultures, such as traditional paper-cutting, painting, Chinese cooking and tea art over the past 10 days.
6月24日，由广东省人民对外友好协会、中华文化传承基地·禅武中心等联合举办的“2019匈牙利青少年南粤文化行”在广州禅武文化中心开营。在过去十天，来自匈牙利匈中双语学校师生一行23人，全方位体验了中国传统剪纸、绘画、中餐烹饪、茶道等中国传统文化。
Tomorrow will be better.

"It feels wonderful. Paper-cutting opens a window for me to understand Chinese culture," said TAKÁCS Eszter Zsófia (Aisha), a student from the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School. On June 27th, more than 23 teachers and students from the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School went to the Guangzhou Zhixin High School and experienced authentic Chinese traditional paper-cutting art.
“感觉很奇妙，剪纸为我了解中国文化打开了一扇窗口！”一名匈中双语学校的学生TAKÁCS Eszter Zsófia(爱莎)表示。6月27日，来自匈牙利布达佩斯匈中双语学校的20余名师生，走进广州市执信中学，体验了地道的中国传统剪纸艺术。
On the afternoon of the 28th, the Guangzhou Vocational School of Tourism and Business also welcomed the 23 foreign teachers and students. They tasted Chinese and Western pastries and prepared snacks for Chinese students and learned about coffee and traditional Chinese tea culture.
28日下午，广州市旅游商务职业学校迎来了23名外国学生。据了解，此行主要行程为品尝和观赏该校学生制作的中西方糕点，学习咖啡鉴赏和中国传统茶道文化。
Under the guidance of the teachers and students of the Guangzhou Tourism Business Vocational School, the Hungarian teenagers participated in the school's professional culinary examination class, tasted unique Chinese and Western snacks and witnessed the production process, starting the day off with delicious food.
匈牙利的青少年们在广州市旅游商务职业学校师生的带领下，走进学校烹饪专业的考试课堂，品尝了各具特色的中西方点心,并观赏了糕点的制作过程，用美食开启了一天的行程。
After tasting the snacks, teachers and students of the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School entered the classroom, learning the history and culture of coffee from Li Weiwei, China Coffee Contest judge and teacher of the department of tourism, and experienced the unique charm of coffee. In the interactive session, the students of the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School and local students formed a group and participated in the "Scent of Coffee" contest, which enhanced understandings from both sides. After the contest, the students also took out their mobile phones and added each other on WeChat.
在品尝点心后，匈中双语学校的师生们走进“咖啡”课堂，在该校旅游管理系党支部书记、世界咖啡大赛中国赛区评委李伟慰的带领下，共同学习咖啡历史文化，品味咖啡独有魅力。在现场互动环节中，匈中双语学校的学生与本地学生组成小组，参与到鉴别咖啡的比赛中，“闻香识咖啡”，增进了双方的了解。比赛后，学生们纷纷掏出手机，互加微信好友。
Li Weiwei said, "The reason why the coffee culture experience class will be arranged today is that coffee is a good carrier of international cultural exchanges. It will be a more intimate experience for the Hungarian students and will bring the students closer. At the same time, after a year of training, coffee major students have become more confident with an international vision when they communicate with foreigners."
李伟慰老师表示：“之所以今天会安排咖啡文化体验课，是因为咖啡是一个很好的国际文化交流的载体，对于匈牙利学生来说也会更亲切，能拉近学生们的距离。与此同时，经过一年培训的咖啡专业的学生通过这样的交流也变得更加具有国际视野。”
Tomorrow will be better.

In the afternoon tea art experience class, the teachers and students of the tea school learned to pick spring tea, experience tea art and feel the charm of tea culture under the guidance of tea artists, and teachers from the school explained in detail the classification of tea and the classification of tea sets and demonstration tea brewing.
在下午的茶文化体验课中，学校茶艺专业的师生向匈牙利青少年们讲解各种茶叶小知识——首先向同学们介绍了茶的起源以及它在中国传统文化中独一无二的地位，接着简单概括了茶的礼仪，并详细讲解茶与茶具的分类和演示茶艺冲泡。
Tea art is a lifestyle and a form of traditional etiquette. Throughout the process of experiencing tea art, students also experienced traditional Chinese etiquette. A Chinese-born girl from the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School who grew up in Hungary and has currently returned to Guangzhou told reporters that she drinks tea almost every day. When she drinks tea in the morning with her family, she always prepares tea for her elders, but this has been the first time for her to get in contact with professional tea art culture.
茶艺是一种生活、是一种礼仪。学生们在识茶、泡茶、品茶的过程中体验如“续茶时先人后己”的中国传统礼仪。一位来自匈中双语学校，从小在匈牙利长大、目前回到广州居住的华裔女孩鲁倩兮告诉记者，她几乎每天都喝茶，现在每次和家人喝早茶的时候也是她来泡茶给长辈们喝，但还是第一次近距离地接触专业茶道文化。还有匈牙利学生表示，即使自己和家人没有喝茶的习惯，但是回国后会和家里人分享此次学习中国传统茶道文化的有趣经历。
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, as well as the establishment of Sino-Hungarian diplomatic relations. These outstanding Hungarian students can act as a bridge to promote friendship between China and Hungary. A teacher from the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School, Yang Yihui, explained that the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School was founded for local overseas Chinese children, but after the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, more and more Hungarian parents started sending their children to the school, and currently 60% of the school's students are Hungarian while 40% are from Chinese families.
据悉，今年是中匈建交70周年，为推动广东与“一带一路”沿线国家的人文交流，加强广东与中东欧国家的合作，促进广东和匈牙利两地青少年交流，弘扬中华传统文化，广东省人民对外友好协会特意联合各方，举办了此次"2019匈牙利青少年南粤文化行"。无论是政府层面还是民间交流，现在中匈关系都处于历史最好时期。匈中双语学校的教师杨轶慧介绍到,匈中双语学校成立之初是为了当地的华裔孩子，但在08年北京奥运会以后，越来越多匈牙利家长将孩子送到学校就读，目前匈中双语学校有60%的孩子来自匈牙利家庭，40%的学生来自华裔家庭。
Yang Yihui also said, "After ten days of exchanges and studies in China, the Chinese language proficiency of the children has been greatly improved, and they got a great opportunity to learn Chinese traditional culture closely. The Hungarian Foreign Minister also once said at the school that young people are the link between Hungary and China to maintain long-term friendly relations."
杨轶慧还表示：“通过了近十天在中国的交流和学习，孩子们的汉语水平得到了很大的提升，也近距离地学习了中国传统文化。匈牙利外长也曾在到访学校时说过，青少年是匈牙利和中国保持长期友好关系的纽带。”
The 2019 Hungarian Youth Cultural Tour in Southern Guangdong, first held in 2017, is part of a series of international youth communication activities organized by the Guangdong People`s Association For Friendship With Foreign Countries.
