2024年度“亚洲校园”山东大学站项目参加者 李政润（lee jeongyun）-银河集团

我是土木工程专业的一名普通学生，已在成均馆大学学习三年。在这段时间里，我学习了学校要求修读的课程。总体而言，我是一个不太主动的学生。在我像往常一样准备专业课考试的时候，学校发布了一则关于“亚洲校园”项目的通知。我从去年参加过的朋友那里听说了这个项目，也决定去试一试。事实上，这是我第二次与来自其他国家的同龄人交流。

在我读高一的时候，我有幸参加了“亚洲青年教育论坛”，这个活动涉及三个国家：中国、马来西亚和韩国。不过，我很后悔当时没有更积极地参与。因此，我下定决心，在参加“亚洲校园”项目期间，要更加积极地与他人交流。

此项目先在韩国展开，几天后，继续在中国开展。在中国，我聆听了与土木工程相关的课程，尤其是洪水灾害管理和土壤管理方法。此外，我还参加了各种文化活动，包括参观中国文化博物馆、参加实践体验活动。我还和朋友们一起参观了山东大学的校园。

通过这次活动，我有三点感悟。首先是我在项目开始前对自己许下的承诺。尽管仍有一些遗憾，但我还是做出了相当大的努力，主动与其他国家的朋友进行交流。如果是以前在韩国，我可能无法主动开始一段对话。但是，由于我们都需要用英语交流，这对所有人来说都比较困难。最终，我们利用手势、网络图片、翻译工具等各种方式进行交流，这种努力确实有助于缓解彼此之间的尴尬。

其次，我培养了理解差异的能力。在参加这个项目之前，当我遇到与自己想法、行为不同的人时，我会默默走开，而并非尝试理解他们。但在这个项目中，我需要与中国朋友、韩国朋友、日本朋友在同一个空间共度一整天。并且，我遇到很多以前从未经历过的事情。随着我们在一起的时间越来越长，彼此间的对话越来越多，当我们对某些事情感到好奇时就会提出问题，对我来说，理解差异变得越来越自然。此外，在中国的最后一次活动——小组同学一起准备汇报演讲、参观中国文化与历史博物馆，让我对中国和中国文化有了更加深刻的了解。

最后，作为土木工程专业的学生，我能够解开自己对职业道路的一些困惑。中国和韩国的项目确实有助于解决这个问题，甚至从我开始撰写“亚洲校园”申请表的那一刻起，我就有机会开始思考自己想要深入学习的领域。如上所述，以前我只是按照学校规定的课程，到第三年之前都专注于必修课程。但是在这个项目中，我了解到了当今一些公司在洪水管理、土壤管理方面所使用的先进技术。我还参观了以tbm 和岩土工程为重点的研究实验室，认真学习研究报告、设备和模型，这让我对未来的发展道路有了更加清晰的认识。

通过这个项目，我的成长不再局限于成为一名大学生。通过与来自其他国家、学习土木工程专业的朋友进行交流，我在学术上学到了更多东西。在个人发展和学术研究方面，我非常庆幸可以参加这个项目。最后，我想表达自己的感激之情，非常感谢所有在中国帮助过我的朋友和老师，感谢大家，感谢这段难忘的中国之旅！

日记原文：

i am a common student who just studies for civil engineering. it has been three years since i entered sungkyunkwan university, and for that time, i took the courses what our school suggested. in other words, i was so passive, not active. i prepared for final exams for my major lectures as usual. and there was an announcement about this campus asia program. i have heard about this program from my friends who participated in last year, so i decided to take part in this program. actually, it was second time that i had met students from other countries of a similar age.

when i was in my first year of high school, i had the opportunity to participate in the“asia youth education forum”, which involved three countries: china, malaysia, and south korea. however, i regretted not being more active in the forum at that time. so i made a resolution to be more proactive in approaching others during the campus asia program.

after a short time in korea, the program continued in china. in china, i attended classes related to civil engineering, especially on flood disaster management and soil management methods. additionally, i engaged in various cultural activities, including visiting museums that offered insights into chinese culture and participating in hands-on experiences. we also concluded the program by touring the area around shandong university with our group of friends.

through this program, i gained three insights. first, it was about the promise that i made to myself before the program began. although i still have some regrets, i made a considerable effort to initiate conversations with friends from other countries. if i had been asked to start a conversation in south korea, i might not have been able to do it. however, since we communicated in english, it was naturally difficult for all of us. as a result, we used various ways such as gestures, pictures from the internet, and translation tools to communicate, and this effort actually helped ease the awkwardness.

secondly, i developed the ability to understand differences. before this program, when i encountered someone with different thoughts or behaviour from mine, i tended to just leave them rather than try to understand them. however, during this program, i had to spend an entire day in the same space with not only my korean friends but also chinese and japanese friends. and during these days, there are a lot of events that i have never seen or experienced before. but as we spent a lot of time together, had so many conversations with each other, asked questions when feeling curious about something, understanding differences became more natural to me. moreover, preparing for the final presentation and visiting the museums about chinese culture and history, which was the last activity in china, especially helped me gain a deeper understanding of the country and its culture.

lastly, as a civil engineering student, i was able to resolve some of my concerns about my career path. the programs in china and south korea did contribute to this, and even from the moment i started writing my applications for campus asia, it became an opportunity for me to reflect on the field i want to study. previously, as is mentioned above, i just followed the curriculum set by the school, focusing on the required courses until my third year. however, in this program, i learned about the technologies that companies use nowadays in flood management and soil management. in addition, visiting research labs focusing on tbm and geotechnical engineering, where i saw reports, equipment and models needed for their research with my own eyes gave me a clearer vision of my future path.

through this program, i was able to grow beyond just being a university student. additionally, by interacting with friends from other countries who are studying the same field, civil engineering, i was able to learn even more academically. on a personal and academic level, i do not regret participating in this program at all. finally, i would like to conclude my story about my journey in china by expressing my gratitude to all the chinese friends, teachers and professors who helped me during my time there.
