From 29 to 30 May, 24 international students from Russia came to Rudong, to carry out exchanges.

On 29 May, in the club activity room of Juegang Senior High School of Rudong, a vivid intangible cultural heritage experience class was being conducted.‘Today’s tie-dye experience is fantastic. Every pattern is unique. I really love this kind of art that is full of surprises,’said Asya, a Russian international student.

In the subsequent talent showcase, Chinese students performed songs and guqin pieces, while Russian students presented dance performances and a fashion show.

‘The students here are very enthusiastic. Especially the guqin performance—this unique art form is something I have never encountered in Russia, and it feels very refreshing,’ said Lera, a Russian international student.After the performance, students from both countries exchanged contact information, planting the seeds of friendship for this encounter across mountains and seas.

Walkingout of the campus, Russian exchange students arrived at the Rudong Acrobatic Troupe. A variety of acrobatic and magic shows were performed in turn.

‘Every performance was absolutely amazing. I feel that the acrobatic art in Rudong is just as good as the Russian circus!’ said Sofia, a Russian student.

On the second day of the event, the international students went to Bencha Ancient Town, to view the calligraphy work exhibition and experience dragon dancing.

The international students also came to Xiaoyangkou to experience the‘Sea Disco’project. Lena took the initiative to lead everyone to sing Russian songs and dance authentic Russian folk dances. Anton, an international student who participated in the sea trip for the first time, said excitedly,‘This is my first time here to catch the sea. The sea breeze is very comfortable and I feel great!’

‘We have been in China for quite some time and have learned a lot about Chinese culture. This trip to Rudong has left a very deep impression on us,’ said Natalia, the Russian teacher who led the group.

踏浪黄海之滨领略人文底蕴

5月29日至30日，24名来自俄罗斯的留学生走进如东，开展交流活动。

5月29日，如东县掘港高级中学的社团活动室里，一堂生动的非遗体验课正在开展。“今天的扎染体验太奇妙了，每一幅图案都是独一无二的，我非常喜欢这种充满惊喜的艺术。”俄罗斯留学生阿斯娅说。

随后的才艺展演中，中国学生展示了歌曲与古琴曲，俄罗斯留学生带来的舞蹈与时装秀。

“这里的同学们非常热情，特别是古琴演奏，这种独特的艺术形式，我在俄罗斯从未接触过，感觉很新鲜。”俄罗斯留学生列拉说。演出结束后，两国学生互换了联系方式，为这场跨越山海的相遇埋下了友谊的种子。

走出校园，俄罗斯留学生来到如东杂技团。各类杂技魔术节目轮番上演。

“每一个节目都精彩绝伦，我感觉如东的杂技艺术与俄罗斯的马戏不相上下！”俄罗斯留学生苏菲亚由衷的赞美。

活动第二天，留学生们来到栟茶古镇，参观书法作品展，体验舞龙。

留学生奔还来到小洋口，体验“海上迪斯科”赶海项目。列娜主动带领大家一同唱响俄罗斯歌谣、跳起地道的俄罗斯民族舞蹈。第一次参与赶海的留学生安东兴奋地说：“我第一次来这里赶海，海风很舒服，我觉得很棒！”

“我们来到中国已有较长时间，也学习了解了很多中国文化。这次如东之行给我们留下了极其深刻的印象。”随行带队的俄罗斯老师娜塔莉亚说。
