從“空姐”華麗轉身“漢語教師”

（空乘時期的我）

（My Flight Attendant Career）

2015年我大學畢業，抱著試一試的心態參加了航空公司的面試。沒想到居然順利地通過了所有流程。就這么懵懵懂懂的進了民航，留在廣州，開始了自己的飛行生涯。也是從這個時候開始，在心里埋下了想要成為一名漢語教師的種子。飛行的兩年里我走過了5個大洲，21個國家，超過100個城市。以從來沒有過的速度說著你好，再見。密集的旅行讓我有機會在短時間內領略世界各地的風光，但走馬觀花的行程也讓我來不及停下腳步慢慢欣賞。

In 2015, I graduated from university and participated in an interview with China Southern Airline with a trying attitude. I didn't expect to pass all the processes smoothly. So without thinking much about my future plan, I went into the civil aviation career, stayed in Guangzhou, and began to work with “wings”. It was also from this point on, I started to plant the seeds of wanting to be a Chinese teacher in my heart. In the two years of flying, I have passed 5 continents, 21 countries and over 100 cities. I was saying hellos and goodbyes to various people on an incredible base. The intensive travels gave me a chance to enjoy the scenery around the world in a short time, but there was not enough time for me to slow down and enjoy different cultures.

將中文帶向世界，讓夢想自由飛翔記得有一次飛倫敦，在大英博物館中國館的一個唐三彩花瓶前，一位步履蹣跚的老太太滿臉期待的跑過來問我“你是中國人嗎？”之后就開始興奮的和我講起了唐三彩的故事。她講的很有趣，讓我見識到了許多從來沒有過的解讀角度。我第一次真實的感受到唐三彩的魅力，在老太太的講述中，三彩不再是歷史書上空洞而乏味的“中華文化的瑰寶，勞動人民智慧的結晶”。而是一件有血有肉能觸動人的藝術品。她告訴我她是專門研究中國瓷器的。三彩的故事很有趣，但我想她和三彩、和中國的故事應該會更有趣。因為要趕航班我沒能再聽她講下去。曾經一直傲慢的以為身為中國人的我們有著天然的優勢和義務去傳播中國文化，沒想到卻從一個外國老太太那里提升了自己對中華文化的審美與喜愛。文化是共通的，它屬于世界。我希望能有更多的時間聽她慢慢地分享，我也希望能走近這些中國文化愛好者，從他們口中聽到更多有意思的見解。于是我申請了漢語國際教育碩士，到香港讀書。 
I still remember this one time during my flights to London, I was standing in front of a Tang San Cai Vase (a type of tri-colored glazed pottery from Tang Dynasty) in the British Museum.  A tottering old lady came to me and asked, "are you Chinese?" After that, she began to tell the story of Tang San Cai with excitement. What she said was very interesting, many of which were things that I had never heard of from a different perspective. For the first time, I really felt the charm of Tang San Cai. In the old lady's narration, the three colors were no longer empty and tedious "treasures of Chinese culture and crystallization of working people's wisdom" like I had learn from history books. It's a work of art with flesh and blood that can touch people. She told me that she specializes in Chinese porcelain. The story of Tang San Cai was interesting. I think her story with Tang San Cai and China should be more interesting, but I couldn't hear more from her because I needed to catch the flights. I have always been arrogant to think that as a Chinese, we have natural advantages and obligations to introduce Chinese culture to others, but I did not expect that we would have improved our cultural aesthetics from one foreign lady. Culture is universal and it belongs to the world. I really wish that I could have more time to listen to her stories and to approach these Chinese culture lovers and hear more interesting opinions from them. So after meeting up with this lady, I finally decided to apply for a master's degree in Chinese International Education and went to Hong Kong to study.

畢業后，我來到云南經濟管理學院，加入了國際學院，幸運的成為了一名對外漢語教師。認識了許多來自世界各地的學生。我們一起學中文，他們總是能帶給我很多驚喜。相較于一名文化講授者而言，我想更愿意去做一個聆聽者，傾聽來自不同文化背景的他們和各自與中國的故事。透過一句你好，看到世界的一角。

After my master graduation, I came to the Yunnan University of Business and Management, joined the International College, and became a teacher of teaching Chinese as a foreign language with honors. I have met many students from all over the world. We are learning Chinese together, and they always bring me a lot of surprises. Compared to a cultural “speaker”, I would like to be a “listener” and listen to their stories and their Chinese journeys from different cultural backgrounds. To see a corner of the world through a “Hello” from others.
