ILYAS，中文名字伊利亞，是一個(gè)有著哈薩克斯坦和俄羅斯血統(tǒng)的混血小伙，初次見到他，就被他身上散發(fā)出的青春氣息感染，一臉陽光的笑容，非常友好地向我打招呼，“你好，很高興見到你?！?/p>

雖然只有20歲，伊利亞卻比很多在重慶的外國人生活得都久，“我17歲就來到中國了，那時(shí)高中一畢業(yè)我就報(bào)考了重慶交通大學(xué)的國際經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易專業(yè)，不過我先去西安交通大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)了一年中文，漢語考試合格以后才來重慶上大學(xué)的?！币晾麃喌闹形乃搅钊梭@訝，不光能說一口流利的、字正腔圓的中文，還能寫漢字?，F(xiàn)在，他還能聽懂大部分重慶話，有時(shí)也會冒出一兩句純正的地方方言。伊利亞告訴我，“別看我現(xiàn)在很能說，其實(shí)剛開始學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候也像其他外國朋友一樣，覺得學(xué)中文是一件很頭疼的事情?！?/p>

伊利亞所在大學(xué)的專業(yè)課程都是全中文教學(xué)的，連教科書也是密密麻麻的漢字。剛念大一的時(shí)候，拿到手里的教科書，伊利亞有種想放棄的沖動(dòng)。說說還好，可是要把那些奇形怪狀的漢字記住并寫出來真的太難了。“那個(gè)時(shí)候，真的感覺中文比我的母語——俄語還要難學(xué)。”直到有一天，他的一位也在學(xué)習(xí)中文的意大利朋友給他看了一段影片，里面講述怎樣形象地學(xué)習(xí)漢字?？赐暌院?，伊利亞深受啟發(fā)，像獲得了靈感，突然開竅了。“原來學(xué)漢字是要運(yùn)用你的想象力的，就像帶有提手旁的漢字都是和手有關(guān)的，只要掌握了規(guī)律，記漢字就方便多了。”伊利亞滔滔不絕地與我分享他學(xué)習(xí)中文的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，因?yàn)閷φZ言本身有著一種語感和天賦，所以學(xué)習(xí)中文對他來講也慢慢成了自然而然，簡單輕松的事情，有時(shí)連睡覺做夢也會念叨幾句中文。

2010年，伊利亞和他家鄉(xiāng)的朋友一起來到重慶上大學(xué)。剛到重慶，就被這高低起伏的城市吸引住了?！暗谝淮慰吹街貞c時(shí)就覺得很震驚，好現(xiàn)代啊。到處都是高樓大廈，和古城西安完全不同，這是一座充滿朝氣的城市?！币晾麃喯矚g重慶的一切，雖然剛來時(shí)對重慶方言有點(diǎn)不適應(yīng)，還常因?yàn)殡y以分辨“四”和“十”的平翹舌發(fā)音，以至于出去買東西時(shí)鬧出很多笑話，伊利亞卻對這門地方語言產(chǎn)生了濃厚的興趣，時(shí)不時(shí)和自己的重慶朋友對上一段重慶話，讓人捧腹。

伊利亞還對重慶飲食情有獨(dú)鐘，雖然剛吃火鍋時(shí)也會因?yàn)樗敛环[肚子，不過一回生二回熟，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)完全適應(yīng)了?！捌鋵?shí)我更喜歡吃重慶小面。”伊利亞兩眼放光，還用地道的重慶話說“我最喜歡吃豌雜面?！币晾麃喐嬖V我，第一次知道重慶小面是因?yàn)橛幸惶熳咴诮稚?，發(fā)現(xiàn)路邊擠滿了人，排隊(duì)等著吃這家小鋪的面，我很好奇，也去買了一碗來嘗，不想就喜歡上了，這也是緣分吧。說到吃，伊利亞掰著手指數(shù)著，火鍋、小面、燒烤……一副意猶未盡的樣子。

伊利亞喜歡中國，更喜歡重慶，“這里的人們很友好，重慶人很耿直，在這里我有家的感覺?！币晾麃喸谥貞c不僅有豐富的學(xué)生生活，也參加了很多社會實(shí)踐，還當(dāng)起了平面模特，為許多雜志廣告拍攝形象照；同時(shí)也去一些企業(yè)實(shí)習(xí)，做翻譯?！艾F(xiàn)在我正努力學(xué)習(xí)法語，如果學(xué)好以后，那便是我掌握的中文、英文、俄語、意大利語之后的第五門語言了?！币晾麃喴荒樧院?。

今年是伊利亞在重慶的第四年，他希望畢業(yè)后繼續(xù)呆在中國，“中國現(xiàn)在發(fā)展迅速，有很多機(jī)會，我會繼續(xù)選擇在這里工作，無論以后去哪個(gè)城市，我一定不會忘記重慶，因?yàn)檫@里是我曾經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)的地方，是我開始接觸中國文化的城市，也是我在中國最有意義的回憶和人生經(jīng)歷。”

ILYAS is a mixed-race guy with Kazakhstan and Russia, when meeting him for the first time,you will be infected by his passion with a sunshine smile,he greeted to me very friendly and said,"Hello, nice to meet you. ”

Although he is only 20 years old,ILYAS is longer than many foreigners who are living in Chongqing, "I came to China when I was 17 years old, I enter myself for an examination to Chongqing Jiaotong University whose major is international economic relations and trade as soon as I graduated from high school in my country, but I went to Xi ' an Jiaotong University to study Chinese for a year,after passing the Chinese language examination I came to Chongqing."I was shocked by ILYAS's Chinese not only because he can speak fluently, handwriting in Chinese, but also able to write Chinese characters.Now he can even understand most of Chongqing hua and sometimes couple of pure local dialects would come out from his mouth.ILYAS told me, "when i just started to learn Chinese, in fact, I'm just like other foreign people, thinking learning Chinese is a very troublesome thing."

The courses that ILYAS studies in the university are all professional and written in Chinese even his textbooks are also Chinese characters.Just by reading those books ILYAS had a urge to give up.It is really hard to remember and write Chinese.At that time, I did feel it was more difficult than Russian.Until one day, one of his Italian friend who also studies Chinese showed him a video about how to learn Chinese characters.After watching that, ILYAS was inspired,"You need to use your imagination to learn Chinese characters,for example,Chinese characters with hand are hand-related, as long as you master the rule,studying Chinese characters became a lot more convenient and easier." ILYAS went on to share his learning experience with me.Also because of his sense on the language itself and talent,learning Chinese gradually became a natural, simple thing, sometimes even a few Chinese words will be spoke out while he is sleeping.

In 2010, ILYAS and his friends came to Chongqing to study,as soon as he just arrived in Chongqing,he was attracted by the ups and downs of the city. "When I first time saw Chongqing I was shocked,it's a modern city and different from the ancient city Xi'an, this is a city that's full of vitality. "ILYAS likes everything about Chongqing,although sometimes he has hard time understanding the Chongqing dialect which often makes a lot of jokes as"four" and "ten" tongue pronunciation when buying something , ILYAS still has a keen interest in the local language.

In addition, ILYAS is addicted to Chongqing food although he had stomach problem when eating hotpot,however, he is now fully adapted. "In fact, I prefer to eat Chongqing noodles. "ILYAS said, "I like to eat noodles with beans.One day I was walking down the street and saw a lot of people waiting to eat in front of this shop, I was curious so I bought a bowl of noodles to taste and I started to like it. It is the fate!When it comes to food, ILYAS started to count, hot pot,noodles,barbecue......

ILYAS loves China,as well as Chongqing, "People here are friendly,Chongqing people is honest and frank,I feel like home here."ILYAS not only has wonderful student life in Chongqing,but also participated in many social practices,he also worked as a model for a number of magazines image shooting advertising photos;he also does internships, doing translations."Now I'm trying to learn French, if I succeeded,that means it would be my fifth language after Chinese, English, Russian, Italy language."ILYAS looked really proud and confident.

This year is ILYAS's fourth year in Chongqing, he hopes to stay in China after graduated. "China is developing quickly and there are many opportunities,I will continue to work here, wherever I am in China,I can never forget about Chongqing because this is where I studied and learnt local culture, which is also my most significative memory and life experience I had in China."
