“一带一路”十周年特刊丨王悦：我在匈牙利教中文

Wang Yue: I teach Chinese in Hungary

文：刘宇岑

今年，匈中双语学校特别喜庆。从年初的春节盛典暨“中国大使奖学金”颁发仪式开始，到校园内的“中国日”，与“一带一路”十周年相关的活动不胜枚举。作为匈中双语学校的中方负责人，王悦心生感慨。在匈牙利从事中文教学工作12年，她亲眼见证了中匈友谊的长足发展，为中匈两国的人文交流贡献着自己的力量。

在布达佩斯开启教学之路

推广中文一直是王悦的梦想。2009年，北京女孩王悦从首都师范大学汉语言文学专业毕业后，做了一个不寻常的决定——去海外教中文。

浪漫的裴多菲诗歌、悠扬的李斯特乐曲、蜿蜒曲折的多瑙河，以及河岸边矗立着的艺术建筑，布达佩斯风光美得像电影画面，王悦对布达佩斯有着美好的憧憬。当时恰逢中国汉办组织非英语语种海外汉语教师培训，可以有机会到布达佩斯罗兰大学进修匈牙利语，这对准备从事中文教学且刚走出象牙塔的王悦来说，像是开启了一扇全新的大门。父母也很支持她，尽管心有不舍，但她还是义无反顾地奔赴罗兰大学进修匈牙利语。谁知，这一停留就是十余年。

匈中双语学校位于多瑙河畔，门前飘扬着匈牙利国旗、中国国旗以及欧盟旗帜。这所学校成立于2004年9月，由中匈两国政府共同筹备建立，是中东欧地区唯一一所使用中文和所在国语言教学的公立全日制学校，隶属匈牙利公共教育系统。学校成立之初，只有87个孩子，主要招收当地华人学生。随着2008年北京奥运会、2010年上海世博会以及2013年“一带一路”倡议的提出，中国在世界政治、经济、文化的影响力越来越大，一股“汉语热”在匈牙利席卷开来。中文被纳入匈牙利国民教育体系，青少年在小学和中学阶段就可以选择中文作为第一外语参加升学考试，匈中双语学校的招生规模也逐步扩大。2011年春，王悦作为汉语教师志愿者到匈中双语学校开启中文教学之路。

当年，正读一年级的胡灵月成为王悦教授的首个汉语班的学生。当时学校正在组织中文朗读比赛，胡灵月生动的表演给评委留下了深刻印象。时光荏苒，当年的小姑娘已成长为窈窕淑女，胡灵月的梦想是成为一名优秀的翻译工作者，如今她正一步一个脚印地朝着梦想前进。2022年5月，胡灵月高分通过中级汉语高考。同年11月，她在高级汉语高考中获得骄人成绩。她还以优异的成绩通过了汉语水平考试（HSK）4级和汉语水平口语考试（HSKK）中级。今年1月，胡灵月第二次荣获“中国大使奖学金”。

王悦回忆道：“胡灵月的笔记本上总是密密麻麻，每次上课时，眼神始终追随着我，手中奋笔疾书，不落下一点儿内容。”胡灵月小学毕业那年用中文给王悦写了一封信，信里写道：“我觉得最重要的收获是我会用您教的中文词语，每天跟我的中国朋友聊天儿。”那一刻，王悦深受感动，既为胡灵月感到高兴，同时又深刻体会到自己传授的语言能帮助学生深入了解中国、热爱中国，这让她感到意义非凡。

2019年，王悦的工作进入新阶段，在教中文的同时，担任匈中双语学校孔子课堂的中方负责人，协调安排中文课程、开展中国文化展示活动、承担学生管理等工作。这一年，她教的几名学生升入中学部，开启了新的学业之旅。

宋智孝在这一年入读中学部，开始跟随王悦学中文。宋智孝求知欲很强，喜欢问问题。有一次，她指着一句匈牙利语问王悦怎么译成中文。如果按照直译，这句话的意思是“金色的中间道路”。后来师生二人多次探讨，觉得译为“中庸之道”较佳。类似教学相长的例子不胜枚举，在探讨的过程中，宋智孝的中文水平不断提升，王悦的匈牙利语也在进步。

2023年春节前夕，胡灵月与宋智孝代表全校学生致信习近平主席和夫人彭丽媛教授。信中女孩们讲述了长达12年的中文学习感悟，毕业后，她们将来中国留学，非常希望能为中匈友谊作出贡献。习近平主席在复信中为她们学习中文和中华文化上的努力点赞，也希望越来越多的匈牙利青少年喜欢上中文、学习中文，有机会到中国走一走、看一看，鼓励匈牙利青少年更多地了解当今中国和中国的历史文化，努力做传承发展中匈友好事业的使者。

深化中匈友谊

匈牙利与中国有一种历史的共鸣。2013年，习近平主席提出“一带一路”倡议，匈牙利是首个与中国签署合作协议的欧盟国家，同时也是首个与中国建立关于“一带一路”工作机制的国家。在从事海外汉语教学的这些年里，王悦发现对中国文化感兴趣的匈牙利人越来越多。在当地，用筷子吃饭、包饺子、画中国画、练功夫、过春节、打太极，已经屡见不鲜。

从2011年4月至今，王悦在匈中双语学校开展中文教学工作，不仅工作出彩，还获得家长的一致好评，和学生们结下了深厚的友谊，这份师生友谊更是中匈深厚友谊的缩影。

教学多年，王悦精心灌溉的花朵，结出了累累硕果。刻苦勤奋的胡灵月、爱唱中文歌的王米丽、受哥哥影响爱上中文的葛丽、喜欢看中国电视剧的宋智孝，每一位学生都令王悦为之骄傲。谈及这份工作，王悦说道：“对我而言这是一项崇高的事业。最大的收获就是培养出了很多优秀的学生，在教学生的时候我也从他们那里学到很多有益的内容，促进了自身的进步成长。”

2017年，中匈两国共同宣布建立全面战略伙伴关系，两国关系进入“换挡提速”的新阶段。同年，匈中双语学校与王悦的母校首都师范大学以及首都师范大学附属中学合作建立匈中双语学校孔子课堂，几年来为匈牙利培养了大批优秀的中文人才，在匈牙利教育界颇有声望。此外，匈中双语学校每年都会组织多场大型文化盛典，这些活动通过当地主流媒体的报道，让匈牙利人民可以全方位、多层面地感知中国。春风化雨，润物无声，美美与共，心心相通。

现在，除了教书育人，王悦还积极地联络两国有关部门，为匈中双语学校学生创造赴华留学、交流观摩的机会，比如协调组织来华夏令营、申请国际中文教师奖学金等。这些工作也得到了教育部中外语言交流合作中心、孔子课堂中方合作院校首都师范大学以及各省市有关单位的大力支持。

在开展中文教学的过程中，王悦感受到当地家长希望子女学好中文的真情，学生们的努力，也激励着王悦做好每一次教学工作，竭尽全力去传道授业解惑。为培养更多优秀的汉语人才，王悦深感责任重大。她说：“今天这里的学子沐浴着交相辉映的两国文明，他日必将为这百花园增光添彩。我们一定不忘初心，恪尽职守，培育好推动文明繁荣、深化友谊进程的接班人。”

中匈两国不同的文明发展历史，造就了延续至今各具特色的文化，但两国在和平发展、合作共赢等方面具有相契合的价值观。当前，中国提出的“一带一路”倡议在匈牙利推动着越来越多的合作项目落地。相通的发展图景、相互的信任支持，使得中匈两国在原有的良好基础之上进一步理解和合作。两国人民传统友好，人文交流日益密切，不同面孔的人们用汉语交流，共同的语言背后是相近的民心。心灵相通，友谊花开，一朵朵友谊之花正在多瑙河畔绽放。

匈中双语学校

This year, the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School is particularly celebratory. From the Spring Festival Ceremony and Awarding Ceremony of the “China Ambassador Scholarship” at the beginning of the year to China Day on campus, there are numerous activities related to the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative. Wang Yue, the Chinese director of the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School, was full of emotions. Having been engaged in Chinese teaching in Hungary for 12 years, she has witnessed the great development of China-Hungary friendship and contributed her own strength to cultural exchanges between China and Hungary.

Start teaching in Budapest

Promoting Chinese language has always been Wang Yue’s dream. In 2009, after graduating from Capital Normal University with a major in Chinese Language and Literature, Beijing girl Wang Yue made an unusual decision to teach Chinese overseas.

Romantic poems of Petőfi, the melodious music of Liszt, the winding Danube River, and artistic buildings standing on its banks, those are Wang Yue’s vision for a beautiful Budapest. At that time, the Chinese Centre for Language Education and Cooperation held training for overseas Chinese teachers for non-English speakers and offered the opportunity to study Hungarian at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. Wang Yue, who was preparing to teach Chinese and just graduated, felt like it was a chance to enter a door leading to an unknown future. Her parents were also very supportive, and despite their reluctance, she went to Eötvös Loránd University to study Hungarian without hesitation. Unexpectedly, this stay was more than ten years.

The Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School is located on the bank of the Danube River, with the flags of Hungary, China, and the European Union flying in front of it. Established in September 2004 by the governments of China and Hungary, the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School is the only publicly-funded full-time school in Central and Eastern Europe that uses both Chinese and the local language as mediums for teaching. It is under the Hungarian public education system. When the school was established, it had only 87 students and mainly enrolled local Chinese students. With the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, and the 2013 Belt and Road Initiative, China has become increasingly influential in the world from political, economic, and cultural perspectives, and a “Chinese language fever” was sweeping through Hungary. Chinese has been incorporated into Hungary’s national education system, and teenagers can choose Chinese as their first foreign language to take the entrance examination at primary and secondary school levels. The enrollment scale of the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School has also gradually expanded. In the spring of 2011, Wang Yue started teaching Chinese at the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School as a volunteer Chinese teacher.

At that time, Hu Lingyue, who was in Grade One, became a student of Professor Wang Yue’s first Chinese class. The school was organizing a Chinese reading competition. The judges were deeply impressed by Hu Lingyue’s vivid performance. With the passage of time, Hu Lingyue has grown into a fair lady. Her dream is to become an excellent translator. Now she is moving towards her dream step by step. In May 2022, Hu Lingyue passed the Intermediate Chinese College Entrance Examination with a high score. In November of the same year, she obtained outstanding results in the Advanced Chinese College Entrance Examination. She also passed HSK Level 4 and HSKK Intermediate with distinction. In January this year, Hu Lingyue won the “Chinese Ambassador Scholarship” for the second time.

Wang Yue recalled, “Hu Lingyue’s notebook is always densely packed. Every time I go to class, her eyes follow me all the time and she writes everything down.” “I think the most important thing is that I will chat with my friends in China every day using the Chinese words you taught me,” Hu Lingyue wrote to Wang Yue when he graduated from primary school. At that moment, Wang Yue was deeply moved. She was not only happy for Hu Lingyue but also felt that the language she taught could help students understand and love China in depth, which made her feel very meaningful.

In 2019, Wang Yue had taken on the role of the Chinese director of the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School Confucius Classroom while teaching Chinese, responsible for coordinating and arranging Chinese language courses, organizing Chinese cultural events, and managing students. This year, several students she taught entered the secondary school department and started a new academic journey.

Song Zhixiao entered the secondary school department this year and began to learn Chinese in Wang Yuexue’s class. Song Zhixiao was very curious and liked to ask questions. Once, she pointed to a Hungarian sentence and asked Wang Yue how to translate it into Chinese. The sentence could be translated into “the golden middle road” literally. Later, they found a better way to translate it, “the golden mean”, after a few discussions. There were many examples of such teaching and learning. In the process of discussion, Song Zhixiao’s Chinese level had been continuously improved, and Wang Yue’s Hungarian was also improving.

On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2023, Hu Lingyue and Song Zhixiao wrote to President Xi Jinping and his wife Professor Peng Liyuan on behalf of all students. In the letter, the girls talked about their 12-year Chinese learning experience. After graduation, they will study in China and hope to contribute to the friendship between China and Hungary. In his reply, President Xi Jinping praised their efforts in learning Chinese and Chinese culture. He also hoped that more and more Hungarian teenagers would like to learn Chinese and have the opportunity to visit China and encouraged them to know more about today’s China and its history and culture and strive to be ambassadors for inheriting and developing China-Hungary friendship.

Deepening China-Hungary friendship

Hungary has a historical resonance with China. In 2013, President Xi Jinping proposed the Belt and Road Initiative, and Hungary became the first EU country to sign a cooperation agreement with China. Hungary was also the first country to establish a working mechanism with China on the Belt and Road Initiative. During her years of teaching Chinese abroad, Wang Yue has noticed an increasing interest in Chinese culture among Hungarians. In the local area, eating with chopsticks, making dumplings, drawing Chinese paintings, practicing kungfu, celebrating Spring Festival and playing Taiji are common.

Since April 2011, Wang Yue has been teaching Chinese in the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School. She has done a good job, won unanimous praise from parents, and forged a deep friendship with students, which epitomizes the profound friendship between China and Hungary.

After years of teaching, Wang Yue’s students have achieved great success. Every student, from hardworking Hu Lingyue to Mandarin-singing Wang Milin, from Ge Li who loves Chinese because of her older brother’s influence to Song Zhixiao who is a Chinese-drama enthusiast, holds a deep respect and admiration for Wang Yue. “It’s a noble cause for me,” Wang Yue said of the job. “The greatest reward is that I have nurtured many outstanding students, and I have learned a lot of useful information from them while teaching them. This has promoted my own growth.”

In 2017, China and Hungary jointly announced the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership, marking a new stage of accelerated development in the China-Hungary relationship. That same year, the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School, together with Wang Yue’s alma mater, Capital Normal University, and Capital Normal University High School, established the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School Confucius Classroom. Over the years, it has trained a large number of outstanding Chinese language talents in Hungary and gained a high reputation in the education field. In addition, the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School organizes a number of large cultural ceremonies every year. Through news coverage of local mainstream media, the people of Hungary can perceive China in an all-round and multi-dimensional way. Being a teacher is like being spring rain that nourishes the crops, spreading knowledge to every student.

In addition to teaching students, Wang Yue has also actively contacted the relevant departments of both countries to create opportunities for students of the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School to study in China and exchange views, such as coordinating and organizing summer camps in China and applying for international Chinese teacher scholarships. These efforts have also received strong support from the Center for Language Education and Cooperation, partner universities of Confucius Classroom in China, such as Capital Normal University, and various relevant departments in provinces and cities.

In the process of carrying out Chinese teaching, Wang Yue felt that local parents wanted their children to learn Chinese well. The efforts of students also inspired Wang Yue to do a good job in each teaching session and try her best to answer students' questions. Wang Yue is acutely aware of the significant responsibility of nurturing more exceptional talent in the field of Chinese language. “Today, the students here are immersed in the shining civilizations of both countries, and in the future, they will surely add more brilliance to this beautiful garden. We will never forget our original intentions, fulfill our duties with dedication, and cultivate the successors who can promote the prosperity of civilization and deepen the friendship between our two countries,” said Wang Yue.

The different civilizations of China and Hungary have created distinctive cultures, but the two countries share common values in peaceful development and win-win cooperation. At present, the Belt and Road Initiative proposed by China is promoting the implementation of more and more cooperation projects in Hungary. The shared development vision and mutual trust and support have enabled China and Hungary to further understand and cooperate based on the good relationship. The two peoples have been on good terms and are having increasingly close cultural exchanges. People of different races communicate in the same language, and behind the Chinese words are their hearts, which have similar wishes. With people sharing the same wish, the flower of friendship is in full bloom along the Danube River.
