Thanksgiving Day was near. A first grade teacher gave her class a fun task--to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.
Most of the students didn't come from rich families, but many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional customs (习俗). These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of the students' art. And they were, for the most part.
But one student named Douglas drew a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was often sad. While other children would play with each other during break time, he would stand closely by his teacher's side. There was pain behind his sad eyes. But what was it? One could only guess.
Yes, his picture was different. He drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.
Other children started to guess whose hand it could be. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because police keep people safe. And so the discussion went on.
Finally the teacher walked over to Douglas' desk, bent down and asked him whose hand it was.
The little boy looked away and said, "It's yours, teacher."
She recalled (回想起) the times when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, and times when shed said things like "Take my hand Douglas, we'll go outside" or "Let me show you how to hold your pencil."
Douglas was most thankful for his teacher's hand.
In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping offered to build a Silk Road Economic Belt (经济带) and a 21st Century Maritime (海上) Silk Road, which became known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI, "一带一路"倡议). The BRI has brought cultures together for over ten years. As the BRI continues to bring the world together, young people from the Belt and Road countries can see how it continues to develop and have a deeper understanding of it. We did a survey of 125 Chinese students. The following survey is about BRI in the eyes of the students. The diagrams (图表) below show the results.
How much do you know about the BRI? | Where did you learn about the BRI? |
