Exploring Nepal and encountering China

4月的加德滿都，艷陽高照，繁花似錦。中尼友誼之花也在這個美好的季節(jié)里悅?cè)痪`放。尼泊爾媒體和活動管理學(xué)會舉辦國際媒體、通訊、廣告博覽會，邀請《一帶一路報道》雜志、天利出版文化公司、康巴衛(wèi)視等中國媒體參會，中尼兩國媒體暢談媒體合作發(fā)展大計;湖南文化和旅游廳聯(lián)合尼泊爾中國文化中心在加德滿都舉辦書畫展，為尼泊爾民眾打開一扇了解中國傳統(tǒng)文化和湖南歷史文化的窗口;四川藝術(shù)家們在成都展出尼泊爾采風(fēng)的成果，與更多中國人分享尼泊爾風(fēng)土人情……

自中尼兩國2017年簽署“一帶一路”合作備忘錄以來，中尼兩國的文化交流活動日益繁盛。

案例

尼泊爾天利出版文化公司于2014年由西藏天利經(jīng)濟文化發(fā)展有限公司投資設(shè)立，4年多來，公司以“一報一刊一家”（即藏文周報《今日西藏》，英文雙月刊《喜馬拉雅故事》，拉薩之家）為核心，成立天利書店和“中華書苑”旗艦店，并與在加德滿都、博卡拉的十余家當(dāng)?shù)貢旰献?，共同建設(shè)中國書架，擴大了中國圖書在尼影響力;

其代理的康巴衛(wèi)視藏文欄目《崗日雜塘》與尼泊爾兩家電視臺和四家有線電視服務(wù)公司達成合作，在尼泊爾播出以及康巴衛(wèi)視整體信號落地事宜，于2018年11月正式落地：

成立天利藏漢語言課堂，2018年7月正式招生開課，提供藏、漢語教學(xué)和藏文化知識講解的服務(wù)，吸引了眾多尼泊爾民眾。

回想4年前初到尼泊爾調(diào)研時的情景，尼泊爾天利公司總經(jīng)理陳小雙清楚地記得，當(dāng)時幾乎看不到宣傳現(xiàn)代中國的書籍，當(dāng)?shù)厝嗣駥ε彾拥闹袊跎伲@讓他們一行看到了機遇和重任。媒體是人民了解世界的窗口，在雙腳尚未到達的地方，唯有書報刊電視廣播等媒介能縮短他們與世界的隔閡和距離。

從此，尼泊爾天利出版文化公司、尼泊爾中國文化中心及中國各省市先后在尼泊爾舉辦書畫展、文化周、歌舞表演等豐富多彩的文化活動，讓尼人民逐步了解中國及中國文化，中國文化也在潤物無聲中逐步感染了這片土地上的人民。

同時，尼泊爾媒體開始聚焦中國，兩國媒體間的交流合作不斷升溫。

2015年3月，中國人民大學(xué)舉辦尼泊爾新媒體高級研修班，在為期兩周的研修考察中，學(xué)員們對“一帶一路”倡議有了比較全面的認(rèn)識和理解：

2017年6月，尼泊爾國家電視臺臺長馬哈什·達哈爾等媒體從業(yè)者一行20人來華，拍攝習(xí)近平治國理政專題片，片子在尼播出反響強烈。

……

現(xiàn)場

4月12日，在2019尼泊爾國際媒體、通訊、廣告博覽會上，中國國家一級作家、甘肅省作家協(xié)會副主席雪漠帶來了一場“《道德經(jīng)》智慧與企業(yè)文化傳承”的講座，從中國文化經(jīng)典《道德經(jīng)》切入，闡釋了企業(yè)發(fā)展中文化的重要性。

“中國文化‘走出去’，商業(yè)介入是有效的方式?！睂Υ?，雪漠解釋道，在商業(yè)的影響中，文化元素才會慢慢落地生根，比如華為、阿里巴巴、支付寶、微信等在海外的文化開拓。

隨后，記者走訪了幾家尼泊爾企業(yè)參展商，印證了這一理念。

阿林科公司的弗林德拿出自己的手機笑道，“中國給我印象最深刻的是高科技產(chǎn)品，如華為手機，尼泊爾很多人都在用這個品牌的手機?！庇浾咭苍诩拥聺M都看到很多中國手機品牌的專賣店，華為、小米、OPPO等。

一家互聯(lián)網(wǎng)商店的負責(zé)人謝爾德聽說記者來自中國就豎起了大拇指，“阿里巴巴，了不起！”

數(shù)據(jù)

尼泊爾國家旅游局?jǐn)?shù)據(jù)顯示，2018年中國赴尼游客人數(shù)超過15萬人次。

近年來，隨著“一帶一路”倡議的提出，中國興起了“沿線游熱”，作為“一帶一路”沿線重要國家的尼泊爾自然不容錯過。在加德滿都的大街小巷，到處可見中國游客;在泰米爾街區(qū)，隨處可見用漢字寫的標(biāo)牌，如“中國人特價”“老板很nice，可以砍價”等。漢語在這里成為了一門通用語言。尼泊爾旅游局經(jīng)理沙拉達爾·施萊斯塔表示，尼泊爾旅游部將聯(lián)合中國政府開展一系列漢語培訓(xùn)，加強尼泊爾人漢語能力，更好地服務(wù)赴尼旅游的中國游客。

以中國游客聯(lián)接起的中尼文化交流水到渠成。在出租車上，司機們隨口聊起長城、大熊貓，聊起北京、上海，他們說這些信息都源于中國游客的口口相傳。

采風(fēng)尼泊爾，一次美妙的體驗：遇見中國，一場美好的邂逅。

In April， Kathmandu， the capital of Nepal， isenveloped in shiny sunshine and bloonung flowers.The flower of friendship between China and Nepalisalso blooming in this beautiful season.

Recalling when he first came to Nepal four yearsago for research， Chen Xiaoshuang， general managerof Nepal Tianli Publishing & Culture Company， saidthat there were hardly any books promoting modernChina at that time， and local people knew little aboutthe neighboring country China， which presentedopportunities and important tasks before them. Mediais the window for people to get acquainted with theworld. In places where people have not yet settledfoot in， only media， such as books， newspapers，magazines， television and radio can help break thewall between them and the world， making it easier forthem to get access to information in the world.

Since then， Nepal Tianli Publishing & CultureCompany， China Cultural Center in Nepal， aswell as various provinces and cities in China havesuccessively held various cultural events in Nepal，such as painting and calligraphy exhibitions， culturalweeks， singing and dancing performances， etc.， helpingthe Nepalese people get acquainted with China andChinese culture.

At the same time， media in Nepal began to seteyes on China and the exchanges and cooperationbetween the two countries'media kept growing.

To give a play of business is the most effectiveway to help Chinese culture to "go global". Xuemoadded that cultural elements will slowly take rootunder the influence of commerce. For example， itcan be mirrored from overseas cultural promotion byHuawei， Alibaba， Alipay， and WeChat.
