#先声夺人#【“中国接纳了我”：赛考斯先生的“中国情缘”】1999年，美国教师“赛考斯”——罗纳德·萨科尔斯基（Ronald Sakolsky）来到中国。在这里，学校、学生和同事的接纳，让他感到自己也成了“中国大家庭的一份子”。多年后，看到昔日的漫天黄沙已披上绿装，道路和建筑拔地而起，他感叹眼前的变化超乎想象。而那次中国之行，也被他带回了美国的课堂。因为亲眼见过，所以历史不再遥远；因为亲身经历，所以故事更加真实。在他看来，如果我们多看彼此的相同之处，少放大双方的差异，或许就找到了和平相处之道。In 1999, American teacher Ronald Sakolsky came to China, where he found acceptance from his school, his students and his fellow teachers. "I just felt part of the Chinese family," he recalls. Years later, seeing images of forests, roads and buildings where he remembers little but desert sand, he marvels at how much has changed. That experience also followed him back into his classroom in the United States, where his firsthand stories helped bring China and its history closer to his students. For Sakolsky, the lesson goes beyond the classroom: If we focus on similarities rather than differences, the whole world can live in peace.
