Critical Thinking
Supposing that you're Qiuyu(秋雨) , you attend our school's exchange program. When you study abroad, your classmates are curious about your name. Please explain the meaning of Qiuyu(秋雨) to them.
Tips: Think about it from the following aspects:
1.Literal meaning (字面意思）
2.Cultural imagery (文化意象）
3. Parents' expectations（父母期望）
Qiu means autumn, a season of harvest and calmness. Yu means rain, which nurtures (滋养）every living thing. Their parents wish them to carry the quiet strength of autumn rain.
possible versions
That's a season at time when nature turns golden, full of harvest and reflection. "Yu" means rain, bringing freshness and quitness. Together, parents want them to stay calm and appreciate life’s beauty, just like the gentle autumn rain.”
Wherever we go,we should
be confident to share our Chinese culture.
learn from outstanding foreign culture
We will improve our ability to engage in international communication so as to tell China’s stories well, make the voice of China heard, and present a true, multi-dimensional(多维), and panoramic(全面的) view of China to the world. —Xi Jinping
