6月28日，在中国共产党成立100周年之际，20名在沪外国友人参观了中共一大纪念馆。
他们来自15个不同的国家，有俄罗斯、法国、意大利、亚美尼亚……他们在上海从事不同的职业，有企业家、志愿者、飞行员、音乐家……他们有的刚来上海两三年，有的则是在华生活了二三十年的中国通。

他们也有很多共同点：亲身感受到了中国人民的热情好客；亲眼目睹了中国发展的日新月异；他们热爱这片被自己视为“第二家乡”的热土；他们希望在中国共产党领导下的中国，下一个百年更加繁荣富强。
Twenty expatriates who work in Shanghai were given a tour of the memorial of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China on Monday. The new memorial hall was officially opened to the public on June 3 to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.

奥克萨娜（Krupikova Oksana）是一位俄罗斯的艺术体操职业运动员，2016年她在上海创办了一家舞蹈学校。她的家族有着浓厚的“中国情结”，她的爷爷还是一名共产党员。
她用一口流利的中文对记者说：“对中国的爱，也是我的爷爷分享给我的。从我们小的时候起，他一直和我们说中国和我们一样，非常努力、非常好，很有发展前景。”

在一大纪念馆中，奥克萨娜惊喜地发现了自己的国家在苏联时代赠予中国的历史资料，其中包括了开国大典的彩色影像。她连忙用手机拍下来，说：“这些对我来说十分有意义，我想发给我的爷爷看。”
“我祝贺中国共产党建党一百周年。中国已经有很大的发展，我祝未来的一百年，中国越来越好。”
Krupikova Oksana is the founder of the Bodylab Dance Center which was founded in Shanghai in 2016. Her family in Russia has a close connection with China as her grandfather was a member of the Communist Party.
Speaking in fluent Chinese, Oksana said her grandfather often shared with her stories about China and his admiration for the country when she was a child.
During the visit to the memorial hall, she took some videos and photos that she said she would send to her grandfather.

何穆凯（Cameron Hume）来自澳大利亚，现在是国际外币兑换公司通济隆集团的亚太区执行董事。1990年，何穆凯第一次来到中国，他便爱上了这个国家。
“至今我仍记得那时我回家告诉父母，希望将来有一天可以在中国工作和生活。” 2003年定居上海的何穆凯，前段时间拿到了外国人永久居留身份证，长期在中国生活的梦想成为了现实。

“一大纪念馆的展览能让外国人更好地了解中共建立时的历史，看到这些年来中国惊人的发展变化。我希望共产党能让中国继续发展，人民的生活越过越好。在我看来这是一定的！祝中国共产党100周年生日快乐。”
“The exhibition allows foreigners to better understand how and when the Communist Party of China was first founded, as well as the history and the amazing development in China. I hope the Party continues to develop and reform China. I hope people’s lives continue to become better and better, which I’m sure will happen. Happy anniversary!”
来自亚美尼亚的马星星（Astrid Poghosyan）说得一口流利的普通话，还拉得一手精湛的小提琴，现任上海交响乐团团长助理。她16岁就来上海读书，最喜欢外滩，喜欢晚上站在外白渡桥边，看灯光亮起，看来往的人流。
Astrid Poghosyan is a violinist and the first foreign management employee in the history of the prestigious Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. She came to Shanghai when she was 16 years old and fell in love with the Bund and the city. The Armenian believes that foreigners living in China have a role to play in sharing a truthful account of the country. In fact, she has been regularly doing so on her own accord.
因为自己的名字Astrid有星星的含义，所以她取了这个中文名。最近她又学到毛主席的一句话：星星之火，可以燎原。因此她决定把它当作自己的座右铭。“当我很怕做一件事的时候，就会跟自己说‘星星之火，可以燎原’。因为从小事情做起，也可以点亮一切。”

看完一大纪念馆的马星星感触颇深，她说：“今年是特殊的一年，这个展览给了我们很好的机会去了解历史。因为我们知道，没有过去的历史，就没有现在的中国。”
特雷通集团的创始人李曦萌（Simon Lichtenberg）来自丹麦，还是个上海女婿。1987年李曦萌成为复旦大学国际交流学院的首批外国留学生，然后就一直在上海生活。讲到这些年目睹上海的发展，他说：“上海的变化太快了，我87年读书的时候，周末还坐摆渡船去浦东抓蟋蟀，陆家嘴都是农田。但是这些年不仅仅有硬件上的变化，人的思想、文化、能力都变化很大。”

李曦萌说虽然自己听了很多中国历史，但是在纪念馆里看实物让他有更深刻的体会。“周总理写的毛笔字，特别漂亮！”他说。“我祝福下一百年，中国经济越来越好，人民生活越来越幸福。”
Simon Lichtenberg, the CEO of furniture company Trayton Group, is from Denmark. Influenced by his family and the desire to broaden his horizons, he traveled to Fudan University in Shanghai to learn the Chinese language in 1987. He still vividly recalls the scenes of the city from that period – few cars, countless bicycles, and cramped living conditions.
Contrasting those scenes from the past with today’s modern and cosmopolitan megapolis, the Dane attributed this transformation to the CPC’s efficient and effective management of the country.
匈牙利人贝思文（Back István）在上海工作创业16年了。贝思文喜欢文化、历史，上海大大小小的博物馆他都去过。作为匈牙利国家博物馆驻华总代表，贝思文认为一大纪念馆运用了很多新媒体技术，拉近了历史事件和现代人之间的距离。
The expatriates were impressed by the tour, with some of them praising the use of multimedia content and high-tech devices such as holographic projections and 3D displays to enhance the viewing experience.

“一大会址我十多年前就去过，今天重新看了，变化非常大。应该说它是中国最漂亮、最完整的红色展览之一。我认为中国共产党过去一百年的发展独一无二，不但改变了中国人的生活，也改变了全球人民的生活。”
“I visited the site more than 10 years ago. Today, I founded it very different. It is a most beautiful and comprehensive exhibition of the Party’s revolutionary history in China,” he said. “I think the Party's past hundred years of development is unique. It has not only changed the lives of the Chinese but also those from around the world.”
澳大利亚人白马克（Nusrat Marat）1992年首次来到中国，之后在这里安家。“世界上五分之一的人口在中国，所以它一直存在着希望，它存在着将来。而且中国人是世界上最善良的民族，上海是一座包容的城市，所以我深深地爱上了这里。”
白马克还是一名志愿者，主要工作之一是测体温
这次参观一大纪念馆，最让他动容的是当年开会时的历史场景重现。“那是一百年前的事情，但是他们所有的嘱咐和心愿，通过一百年的奋斗，到今天都实现了。在我看来，中国共产党人是一群为民造福的理想主义者。”
“One of the most interesting things for me is a projection, which projected the speeches of the founders on the table. All of their hopes and wishes a hundred years ago have come true today. In my eyes, the Communist Party of China are a group of idealists who care nothing but the people.”
米其林中国区总裁韦书杰（Kamran Vossoughi）刚从法国来上海生活两年。“上海是中国一扇开向世界的窗户，这里我看到了以人为本的治理，还有高水平的科技创新发展。”
韦书杰一直想搞清楚为什么中国共产党能在过去一百年里不断发展壮大。“我在这里找到了答案。我被百年前的那群青年的初心所感动。他们对当时的中国说：不，这不是我们希望看到中国在未来应有的样子。”
“Before coming to this visit, I asked myself this question: How has the Party lasted a hundred years and how would it move forward beyond the hundred years? I think I found the answer to my question. I was impressed by the original aspirations of these young people in the beginning who decided to say, ‘No, this is not the way we see China in the future, and we would like to change it.’”
“他们勇敢、充满动力、敢当人先，扛起为中国人民谋幸福的使命。中国共产党还与时俱进，并且永葆初心。这些品质牢牢印在中国共产党人的DNA中，我想这就是中国共产党成功的秘诀，”韦书杰说。
“They were bold, motivated, and they took the risk at that moment… I was also impressed by the mission those young people had, which is the willingness of the people for a better life. Last but not least, the capacity of the Party to adapt itself to a new situation, while always maintaining its original aspiration — is the true DNA of the Party. I think those are the things that led the Party to success for a hundred years.”
来自意大利的迭戈（Diego Benedetto）2018年成功应聘为中国东方航空公司的一名外籍机长，并带着孩子住在中国。40年前迭戈因为飞行任务第一次来到中国，那时的中国刚刚改革开放不久。“如今，我再次来到中国时，看到这里巨大的发展，这在我的国家是无法想象的。”

“作为外国人，我们会惊叹过去几十年的变化。但是很少有外国人真正了解百年前中国的处境。这个展览对我触动很大。中国人蒙受了那么多苦难，又付出了那么多努力，才使得中国取得今天的发展成就，”迭戈说道。
“As foreigners, we witnessed the development of China. We were amazed by how China has evolved in the past decades. But we know very little about what’s truly beyond a hundred years. I was emotionally involved in today’s exhibition as I saw how much efforts and even sufferings people in the past had to endure to make China grow.”
“中国的发展靠的不是运气，靠的是那些做出正确决策的人，那些为之努力奋斗的人。你们拥有无比出色的领导层，取得了无与伦比的成就，继续保持下去吧，加油！”
“China is developing incredibly, and it did not come by chance. It’s because somebody took the right decisions, and somebody acted upon those decisions correctly…You have incredible leadership and you have been attaining incredible results. Keep it up!”
