Life in Harbin
哈爾濱的生活
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Learning from the experts in Harbin.Last year marked the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan. When I saw the news, I thought I might write a story looking back?on my time in China. For me, living in China for a few years was very interesting. The picture above was taken at Harbin Engineering University. During my time there, we participated in various cultural activities to strengthen China and Pakistan’s friendship. On the last day of the activities, the school presented us with a prize. I am very grateful to my teachers for making the effort to learn about our cultures, and for giving students an opportunity to introduce the unique customs of their nation. We also had the teachers and our classmates try some classic Pakistani dishes. I was only at HEU for three years, but it had a great impact on me. I hope that our two countries’ friendship will become stronger and we will have more opportunities to communicate with each other. I’d like to thank my teachers at HEU for?their trust in my ability and their appreciation of my Chinese proficiency!去年，中國與巴基斯坦兩國建交70周年?？吹叫侣?，想寫一篇故事，紀(jì)念我在中國的日子。對我來說，在中國的生活確實很有意思。上面圖我在哈爾濱工程大學(xué)時候拍的。那時候我們參與各種文化活動，增加了我們中巴兩國的友誼。最后的一天，學(xué)校贈予我們獎品。我很感謝老師們，努力地了解我們的文化并且給予所有學(xué)生機(jī)會，介紹他們國家獨一無二的習(xí)俗。我們還給老師和同學(xué)們嘗試了巴基斯坦的特色菜。雖然在哈工程學(xué)院僅僅三年，但對我影響深遠(yuǎn)。我希望中巴兩國的友誼越來越強(qiáng)大，雙方有更多的機(jī)會進(jìn)行交流。我很感謝哈爾濱工程大學(xué)的老師們對我能力的肯定，以及對我中文水平的認(rèn)可！

Stduy in iSTARTThis photo was taken when I first started at Xiamen University at the iSTART Outdoor Activity for New International Students. The event was a gift from XMU to new students, and it gave us the opportunity to make new friends. Xiamen University is a famous and beautiful school in China. I feel very lucky that i got my Master’s degree in the snow-covered city of Harbin and afterwards directly enter Xiamen University on this beautiful sunny island city. I am grateful to the Chinese government for giving me two scholarships. In addition, I received other scholarships by publishing papers at XMU. I have a deep appreciation of China and I have made many Chinese friends, so I hope to return to China soon.這張圖我剛進(jìn)來廈門大學(xué)時候拍的。這個是國際新生素質(zhì)活動。這個活動給予了我認(rèn)識新的朋友的機(jī)會。這個是廈門大學(xué)給我們新生的禮物。廈門大學(xué)是中國知名且美麗的大學(xué)。我覺得很幸運，在冰雪覆蓋的哈爾濱獲得碩士學(xué)位，然后直接進(jìn)了美麗陽光島嶼城市的廈門大學(xué)。感謝中國政府授予我的兩次獎學(xué)金。另外，在廈門大學(xué)也有收獲了論文發(fā)表的獎學(xué)金。因為我了解中國，認(rèn)識了很多中國人，所以我希望早日找個機(jī)會回到中國。

The pictures above were taken when I participated in a charity concert, a cultural exchange activity between China and Pakistan at Kulangsu Community College, and the Xiamen Cultural Industries Fair.

Photo taken from the Xiamen University Siming campus, with the iconic towers in the background.In the midst of this pandemic, I would like to thank our university, our college, and our teachers, and I would especially like to thank China. We have known since childhood that China is a friend to Pakistan, and personally I have always seen China as our best friend. Whenever we run into trouble, China and Pakistan help and understand each other. The pandemic has changed our lives a lot, but our friendship will never change. This is true friendship. Our college and university protected our lives and health, giving us a sense of security. I really appreciate their efforts. The pandemic has dramatically influenced our life and studies, but it will eventually pass. Quarantine presents humanity with an opportunity to reflect on its mistakes. We?can recover lost wealth, but not lost lives. The pandemic offers us?a good chance to examine human behavior and realize that we must take action and help each other to pull through this difficult time together, and that we must work together to protect the world.疫情期間，我要感謝我們的大學(xué)，我們的學(xué)院和老師們，還要特別感謝中國。我們從小就知道中國跟巴基斯坦友好。我本人一直認(rèn)為中國是我們最好的朋友。一出現(xiàn)任何困難，我們兩個國家總是互相幫助和理解。雖然疫情改變了我們的生活很多方面，但我們兩個國家的友誼并沒有因此而改變。這才是真正的友誼。我們的學(xué)院和學(xué)校，保護(hù)了我們的生命健康，給予了我們安全感。我真的很感謝他們?yōu)榇俗龀龅呐?。雖然我們的生活和學(xué)習(xí)受到了很大的影響，但疫情終將會結(jié)束。我們可以趁著隔離期間，好好思考我們?nèi)祟愬e誤。錢沒了可以再賺回來，身體沒了再不會康復(fù)。這段時間給了我們一個很好的機(jī)會，我們更加關(guān)注人類的行為，意識到要行動起來，同舟共濟(jì)，共度難關(guān)， 團(tuán)結(jié)起來共同保護(hù)這個世界。However, I am lucky. I have been accompanying my family in Pakistan during the pandemic, and in the meantime I completed my PhD. I have to thank my teachers, college, and most importantly, the Chinese government for the scholarships it provided to me.我的運氣很好。疫情期間，我一直在巴基斯坦陪著我的家人，與此同時，我完成了我的博士學(xué)位。我還得謝謝我的老師，學(xué)院，特別是中國政府，為我提供了獎學(xué)金。I am from Pakistan, a country in South Asia. I currently live in northern Pakistan. Pakistan has five provinces and many ethnic groups. The majority of the population where I live is Pashtun, but I am a member of the Baloch ethnic group. Because there are many ethnic groups, there are many unique customs and delicacies.我是來自巴基斯坦的。一個南亞國家。目前，我住在巴基斯坦的北方。巴基斯坦有五個省，還有很多個民族。我住的地方大部分是普什圖人，但我的民族是俾路支。因為很多個民族，所以有很多特色的習(xí)俗和美味的特產(chǎn)。
