China is a great country...

中国是一个伟大的国家

（Oleksandr Chekan ，男，乌克兰苏梅国立农业大学动物医学博士，副教授）

It has a unique culture, customs, and language. All this contributed to the development of a hardworking society. Along with age-old traditions, progressive technologies in both life and science are combined here.

这里拥有独特的文化、习俗与语言，这一切共同孕育了勤劳奋进的社会氛围。古老传统在此得以传承，生活与科技领域的前沿技术亦在此实现融合共生。

A visit to China is the brightest part of my life. Memories of my stay in this country, and in particular at the HIST school, will fill me for a long time.

中国之行是我人生中最璀璨的篇章。在这片土地上的种种回忆，尤其是在河南科技学院（HIST）的这段时光，将长久萦绕在我心间。

Upon arrival, our delegation was met by representatives of the HIST school and taken to the K.hotel in Xinxiang, which is located close to the school. This is a comfortable hotel with spacious rooms and excellent service.

抵达中国后，我方代表团受到河南科技学院（HIST）代表的热情接待，并一起到达公寓。公寓环境舒适、房间宽敞、服务优质。

From the first minutes of our stay in Xinxiang, the HIST administration provided everything necessary for living and working. At the same time, the administration provided the necessary information base (where and when classes are held), as well as assistants. The first few days they helped us find a classroom and also ensured safety.

自抵达新乡的那一刻起，HIST为我们的生活与工作提供了一应所需。同时，学院还为我们提供了完善的信息资料（明确课程授课的时间与地点），并安排了中方教师共同授课。最初的几天，共课教师不仅帮助我们找到教室，还协助使用多媒体设备以保障课程顺利进行。

It was very pleasant to learn that a teacher's office had been created for us, where we could work. Classes are held in comfortable classrooms (Building B). I was pleasantly impressed by the equipment of the classrooms with progressive multimedia systems that support all file formats known to me.This made it possible to teach material on veterinary surgery at the proper level using photos and videos.

得知学校为我们专门设立了办公室，我们倍感欣喜，办公条件十分便利。课程教学均在舒适的教室（B栋教学楼）进行。教室配备的先进多媒体设备令我印象深刻，该系统支持我所接触过的所有文件格式，硬件设施极为完善。这让我能够借助图片和视频，以专业水准开展兽医外科学相关教学内容的授课工作。

I also had a good impression of working with students. All students treat me correctly and with respect. Students strive to master the subject in full, are interested, and take an active part in classes. It is pleasant to work with students who want to gain knowledge, and do not wait for the end of the class.

与学生们的相处也给我留下了极佳的印象：所有学生都对我秉持着恰当的态度与十足的尊重，他们渴望全面掌握学科知识，学习兴趣浓厚，在课堂上积极主动参与互动。与这些主动求知、而非敷衍等待下课的学生共事，让我倍感愉悦。

In addition, the achievements of the HIST school are impressive. They are presented in the museum, which is located in the school library. There are a large number of exhibits here, both of the scientific achievements of scientists and of the cultural development of the school.

此外，河南科技学院（HIST）所取得的辉煌成就也令人瞩目。这些成果集中展示于校史馆中，馆内陈列着数量颇丰的展品，既有该校科研工作者的重大科研成果，也有记录学校发展历程的珍贵资料。

All the presented achievements indicate a difficult and long path from a small school to a fundamental complex. At present, there is everything necessary for the development of progressive science in the agricultural sector and the training of high-quality specialists.

所呈现的这一切辉煌成就，见证了学校从一所小型院校稳步发展为综合性高等学府的艰辛而漫长的历程。如今，学校已具备农业领域前沿科学发展及高素质专业人才培养所需的一切条件，为相关领域的进步与人才储备筑牢了坚实基础。

I hope that in a short time the scientific developments of the school staff will enable even greater economic growth of both Xinxiang city in particular and China in general.

我衷心期盼，在不久的将来，河南科技学院（HIST）教职工的科研成果，能够为新乡市乃至中国整体的经济发展注入更强劲的动力，助力区域与国家实现更高质量的增长。

I was also very impressed by a trip to the mountains located near Xinxiang city. These impressions will remain with me all my life. The majestic and beautiful landscapes indicate the meaning of life and provoke philosophical thoughts.

此外，新乡市近郊的山地之行也给我留下了极为深刻的印象，这些美好回忆将伴随我的一生。那里雄伟壮丽的自然风光，不仅彰显着生命的深意，更引发了我对人生的哲思。

Overall, I had a positive impression of both China in general and the HIST school, as well as the people who are an integral part of this great country.

总之，无论是中国这个伟大的国家、河南科技学院（HIST），还是身为这片土地重要组成部分的中国人民，都给我留下了极为美好的印象。
