我与“汉语桥”｜“一撇一捺”撑起新时代马克·波罗的中文梦（Youth and Chinese Bridge: Simple Strokes Support the New-Era Marco Polo’s Chinese Dream）

　　As an international Chinese proficiency competition sponsored by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation of the Chinese Ministry of Education, the Chinese Bridge has brought together over 1.8 million young people from more than 160 countries since its launch in 2002. Following the passion for cultural communication, Jinyun has created Youth and Chinese Bridge, a short video series, to capture the touching moments of language exchange.

　　从10岁时书写第一个汉字“人”，到18岁站上“汉语桥”的广阔舞台，意大利少年齐锐的中文之旅始于最基础的笔画。在他心中，马可·波罗、利玛窦等前辈不仅是历史课本上的名字，更是精神的同行者。如今，他正用自己对中文的执着与热爱，搭建起一座属于新时代的文化交流之桥。

　　From writing his first Chinese character "Ren" (人, person) at the age of ten to standing on the grand stage of the Chinese Bridge at eighteen, Qi Rui (Ruggero), an Italian teenager, has built his Chinese learning journey stroke by stroke. In his heart, pioneers like Marco Polo and Matteo Ricci are not merely names in history books, but companions in spirit. Today, with his passion and dedication to the Chinese language, he is building a bridge of cultural exchange for a new era.
