Chapter 159: National Unity, One Family
The reason why the four ethnic minority students came to the dormitory late was that the school recruited all the ethnic minority freshmen who had registered this year for a meeting.
According to Dunba, a Mongolian classmate who speaks the best Chinese, there are two kinds of spirit in the meeting: First, ethnic unity is a family, and starting today, all the new students of ethnic minorities will be disrupted, in groups of four, and each department and class will be disrupted, so as to ensure that half of the Han and ethnic minority students are in each dormitory, so as to strengthen ethnic unity; second, according to the low level of Chinese language among ethnic minority students, we should take advantage of the opportunity to live and communicate with Han students in the same dormitory to improve the level of spoken and written Chinese of ethnic minority students. In the final analysis, it is to improve the degree of sinicization of ethnic minority students through three to four years of school life.
Thinking about it, the school has also put a lot of effort into it, and Dunba's Chinese is slurping, which is still good, and other people even have problems communicating normally. Northwest University for Nationalities is the first ethnic institution of higher learning established after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is a backbone program for ethnic minorities.
Zeng Xiangyang is proficient in Uyghur language, he has no problem communicating with Wen Sufu, and the conversation between the two surprised the people around him, because the Han people in the school basically do not know the minority language, and soon the news that Zeng Xiangyang knows Uyghur language reached the ears of the relevant leaders of the school committee.
The leaders of the school attach great importance to the "national unity and family" activity that began this semester, and hope that it can be carried out smoothly and achieve the expected goals. Zeng Xiangyang's knowledge of the Uygur language made the school leaders feel like a treasure, and they wanted to make Zeng Xiangyang a model and let his deeds influence others, so Zeng Xiangyang just reported to work, and he became a role model and the focus of everyone's attention.
Zeng Xiangyang's dance performance department has become the focus of attention of the whole school's teachers and students, the department took the lead in carrying out a group of pairing activities, the main content of the activity is a Han student to help an ethnic minority student learn Chinese, through mutual learning, to improve the Han level of ethnic minority students, this obviously with a political purpose of the work, so that many students in private very headache, because to help a person improve the language level in a short period of time, this is a difficult thing, Zeng Xiangyang can be proficient in Uyghur language, which is the result of his long-term relationship with Ayi Khan since he was a child, and Zeng Xiangyang's own efforts and active learning.
Zeng Xiangyang withstood the pressure and didn't want others to see the jokes, so he took the initiative to make friends with the three ethnic minorities in the same dormitory, and usually communicated bilingually, that is, he first used Chinese and then used the minority language to communicate. It's easy to say, but it's actually quite difficult, Zeng Xiangyang knows Uyghur language, he and Wen Sufu learn each other's language very smoothly, Dunba originally spoke Chinese very well, Zeng Xiangyang mainly learned Mongolian from him. Kazakh and Uyghur languages have similarities, both belong to the Turkic language family, and about 70% of them are compatible, so it is normal to communicate with Kunasi. The most difficult to communicate is the Tibetan classmate Tashi Dunzhu, because Tibetan is completely different from Uyghur, and Kunaisi does not speak a word of Chinese, so it is very difficult to communicate.
About a month later, Zeng Xiangyang's communication with Dunba, Kunaisi, and Wen Sufu became smoother and smoother, and only with Tashi Dunzhu did he learn from each other very slowly.
