Captain Xia Yuxiang took Qu Lihua on a field trip in St. Petersburg, and visited some scenic spots in St. Petersburg these days, which was very touching.

"Many of our Chinese enterprises have established friendly relations with more Russian regions, further promoted major projects such as Hunchun-Hassan Cross-border Economic Cooperation Zone, Hunchun-Vladivostok high-speed railway, and high-speed, promoted interconnection, and further strengthened cooperation in the fields of automobile manufacturing, wood processing, mineral development, agricultural planting, port logistics, etc., to achieve win-win development, further deepen cooperation in tourism, culture, education and other fields, and promote people-to-people bonds. ”

"The Belt and Road Initiative is not only in line with the current development trend of the global economy, but also expresses the common need to coordinate the integration process of Eurasia and the whole world, and is in line with the direction of Russia's efforts to build an alliance in the Eurasian economy." ”

Xia Yuxiang said: "For Russia, we have been able to feel the huge benefits brought to each other by the promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative, and as a strategic partner of China, the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative means new prospects, new opportunities and a series of economic concessions for Russia, which has become the mainstream of the current Russian society." ”

Qu Lihua listened to everyone's talk, her heart was very excited, this is her graduation from college to work, the first time to go abroad for a visit, the opportunity is rare, this is Dean Zhang's trust in her, she must work hard, live up to Dean Zhang's ardent hope for her, join the "Belt and Road" research project team to go abroad for field trips, Qu Lihua feels that this is an important turning point in her fate, to the "Belt and Road" Field visits to countries along the route will open a window to her to the world, which is a new understanding and understanding of the world, and she still needs to learn a lot of knowledge, and she must learn from her predecessors with an open mind.

Head Xia Yuxiang said: " We have to see Russia, a big neighbor, for China, Russia's geographical location and the historical relationship between the two countries, China and Russia have a deep friendship, the Soviet Union used to be a big brother, helped China a lot, Russian literature has also influenced our Chinese literature, the two countries are friendly international trade partners, we have to see the advantages of this neighbor, for example, they have the Trans-Siberian Railway, as part of the longest railway system in the world, the classic Trans-Siberian Railway runs from Moscow to Vladivostok, Vladivostok is close to Russia's borders with China and North Korea。 ”

"As a heavy industrial country, Russia's energy, steel, machinery, chemical industry, especially the nuclear industry and space industry occupy an important position in the world, Russian industry is mainly concentrated in the European part, with St. Petersburg and Moscow as the center, expanding outward, after World War II, industry developed to the east, and established industrial bases in the Ural Mountains and Novosibirsk. ”

"Russia's transportation is relatively complete, railways, highways, aviation, ocean, inland rivers and pipeline transportation are very developed, transportation lines are unevenly distributed in Europe and Asia, Russia is centered on Moscow in a radial European part of the railway network is very dense, and the railway network to the Asian part is relatively sparse, so it is necessary for Russia to cooperate with Asian countries. ”

"The Belt and Road Initiative is a great initiative put forward by China, China hopes to join hands with countries along the road to create a better future together, China is to convey friendship, is far-sighted, is full of wisdom, so many years, China has been working hard, has made the world's attention to the economic achievements, China still has a long way to go in the future, we are still working hard, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the need for generation after generation of Chinese sons and daughters to work hard. ”

"We have already visited the Pushkin House, and today we are going to visit the houses of Gogol and Tchaikovsky, and I feel that these two masters have contributed to both Russian literature and music. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang took everyone to visit the former residence of Gogol, although the era is long, but there are still many things that have been preserved.

Head Xia Yuxiang said: "Gogol wrote a lot when he lived on Nevsky Prospect, and we Chinese are well-known as "Diary of a Madman", Lu Xun translated this book, and we are fortunate to be able to visit Nevsky Prospect today to feel the mentality of literary giants." ”

Then Xia Yuxiang took everyone to visit the former residence of Tchaikovsky, who was born in the town of Votkinsk, Russia, and was a great Russian composer in the 19th century and a representative of the world's romantic composers.

Tchaikovsky composed hundreds of musical works in his lifetime, including 6 symphonies, 4 concertos, ballets "Swan Lake", "The Sleeping Beauty", "The Nutcracker" and operas "Eugene Onegin" and "Queen of Spades", many of which have become classics of world classical music.

Qu Lihua also admired this music master very much, and wanted to see the place where the master lived back then, and found that the small buildings where the masters lived were very simple, and there was nothing extravagant, just to meet the needs of life.

The quietness and coziness of the small town of Kling allowed Tchaikovsky to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, to find inner solace and inspiration for his work. Here, Tchaikovsky completed the creation of musical works such as the ballet The Nutcracker and the opera Yolanda.

Head Xia Yuxiang took everyone to Lake Baikal to have a look.

"I know that you are all looking forward to visiting Lake Baikal, and many Chinese tourists know about Baikal, so let's go and see it, this attraction is also a very famous place in Russia. ”

"Okay, we'd love to go!"

Su Xiaoyu said: "Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world and the largest freshwater lake in Eurasia, and it has been listed as a world natural heritage by UNESCO. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang said: "Lake Belga is very distinctive, let Mr. Su explain it to everyone!"

Su Xiaoyu smiled, "I've been to Russia a few times, I know a little bit, I'll tell you about it, if you miss something, you can also add it!"

"Teacher Su, don't be modest, you are very knowledgeable and know everything, you can tell us about it!" Qu Lihua said.

"Okay, then I'll think of what to say, and everyone will add what is missing. ”

"Baikal is fed into the Selenga River and other large and small rivers, from which the Angara River, a tributary of the Yenisei River, flows. ”

"There are 27 small islands in the lake, because they are not covered by Quaternary glaciers, the lake still retains the freshwater animals of the Tertiary period, the famous Baikal seals, whitefish, Omur fish, sharks, etc., which are important fishing grounds in Russia, and the only one that flows out of the lake is the Angara River, and the main tributaries are the Irkut River, the Oka River, the Ilim River, etc. ”
