Volunteers at the International Cultural Festival: Learn more, yearn for more
The quiet Chinese girl wearing a white blouse with gold-plated cuffs and a large skirt in red and green colors and wearing glasses suddenly became lively when she changed into Mexican national costumes. "Although I have only known them for half a day, I quickly became good friends with them. They are enthusiastic and unrestrained and very friendly to our volunteers." Xia Ruimin, majoring in English translation from the w88 casino of English, was a volunteer at the Mexico booth today. She carefully peeled off the Mexican flag stickers and pasted them on the backs of tourists’ hands, and introduced Mexican specialties to the Chinese students one by one. On the red and white checkered tablecloth, berry pancakes, tacos, Mexican fried rice, and cinnamon glutinous rice balls are fragrant. Brightly colored capes, Mexico's iconic wide-brimmed straw hats, and well-made traditional musical instruments attract tourists to stop. "I have always been curious about the Mayan civilization. The volunteer service experience at the Mexican booth at this International Cultural Festival gave me a deeper understanding of this mysterious country and made me want to see it even more."

Dewei talks about the International Cultural Festival: Clouds of friends, connecting the world
Walking through the American exhibition area, a young man wearing a felt hat in the Central Asian exhibition area naturally posed for the camera, attracting the reporter's attention.
"There are big differences between China and Turkmenistan. When we first arrived in Beijing, everything was new to us. Fortunately, the Chinese teachers and classmates around us were very concerned about international students and helped us adapt quickly." The Turkmen boy with slightly curly brown hair and round face in front of him was named Dewei. When being interviewed by reporters, he smiled shyly. This is the second time that Dewei has participated in the International Cultural Festival of the University of International w88. He and his companions, wearing white felt hats and white and green coats, were dressed in silk national costumes. While sorting the specialties on the table, they warmly greeted the students coming and going. At their booth, handwoven wallets, wooden dolls, silver jewelry, and hanging ornaments are beautifully decorated and uniquely exotic. Dewei said that he has been in China for four years and he likes Chinese food very much and is also very interested in Tai Chi.
When talking about cultural exchanges, Dewei said that although he has been in China for four years, he has not been able to make many Chinese friends, “Because even if we are on the same campus, due to different languages, cultures, religious beliefs, different study and activity locations, there is not much intersection. The International Culture Festival gives us a As a platform for communication and friendship, the annual cultural festival not only connects China and Turkmenistan, but also connects the world.” Dewei’s Chinese is fluent, but he still has some difficulty in expressing his meaning. Although he kept saying “I don’t know if you can understand”, we really felt his appreciation for the international cultural festival from the bottom of his heart.

The noisy hawking with gongs and drums, the graceful singing, and the passionate dancing continue. "One Belt, One Road, enjoy you", smiling faces of different skin colors bloomed in the sun. At the 8th International Culture Festival, some people find cultural belonging here, and some people go to the world from here. In Huiyuan in early summer, we exchanged the joy of "having friends come from far away", broadened our experience, broadened our horizons, and jointly tasted the vibrant youth in the international campus atmosphere.
