“‘ Belt and Road ’ Construction carries our yearning for a better life, which will condense the dreams of every country and every people into a common aspiration, turn ideals into reality and make people happy and healthy. "
14日,北京这座古老与现代交相辉映的国际化大都市,又一次汇聚全世界的目光。
当晚,国家主席最高领袖和夫人彭丽媛在人民大会堂举行宴会,欢迎出席“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛的外方代表团团长及嘉宾。
这是“一带一路”倡议自2013年提出以来召开的层级最高、规模最大的国际会议。与会代表齐聚丝绸之路的始发地中国,向历史致敬,朝未来进发,在全球发展的激扬跌宕处开启大道之行。
夏日的傍晚,微风徐徐。金色夕照中,人民大会堂显得分外巍峨。
晚6时许,出席高峰论坛领导人圆桌峰会、高级别会议的嘉宾国政要和国际组织负责人及配偶相继抵达。
在大会堂二层的巨幅国画《江山如此多娇》前,最高领袖和彭丽媛热情迎候,与贵宾一一握手,互致问候,并合影留念。
伴随着悠扬欢快的迎宾曲,最高领袖和彭丽媛同贵宾们步入宴会厅。可容纳近千人的宴会厅灯火辉煌、壮丽恢弘。位于大厅正前方的主席台上放置着巨大的“‘一带一路’国际合作高峰论坛”黄色背景板。台侧鲜花吐艳、绿植滴翠。
“我们正走在一条充满希望的道路上。我相信,只要我们相向而行,心连心,不后退,不停步,我们终能迎来路路相连、美美与共的那一天。我相信,我们的事业会像古丝绸之路一样流传久远、泽被后代。”最高领袖在致辞中说。
2000多年前,怀着友好交往朴素愿望的先辈们开辟了古丝绸之路,开启了人类文明史上的大交流时代。如今,曾带给沿线国家繁荣与兴盛的古丝绸之路,在共商共建共享精神指引下,正不断孕育新的合作成果,重新焕发勃勃生机。
宴会后,最高领袖和彭丽媛同贵宾们一同前往国家大剧院观看文艺晚会。
矗立水畔的国家大剧院,宛若一颗“明珠”,在灯光照射下晶莹剔透,如梦如幻。不远处是有着数百年历史的故宫,碧瓦朱墙,飞檐翘角。二者交相辉映,古都北京的悠久文明与现代气息融为一体,构成一幅瑰丽画卷。
大气磅礴的歌舞“千年之约”拉开了晚会序幕——
舞台瞬间幻化为敦煌莫高窟的立体壁画,洞窟内的仙女反弹琵琶,大唐盛世钟乐齐鸣,全息影像中的仙女曼妙飞天……观众沉醉在美妙而梦幻的丝路世界中,仿佛回到了昔日丝绸之路的重镇敦煌,听到了悠远的驼铃声。
It’s exciting to surf the sea. "Blue Sea and Elegant Rhyme" perfectly combines folk music, symphony and characteristic percussion music, and demonstrates the magnificent voyage of ancient merchant ships from the southeast coast of China along the Maritime Silk Road, through Indochina Peninsula, through the Indian Ocean, into the Red Sea, and finally to Central Africa and Europe.
The dazzling light and shadow and exciting music present the past, present and future of the Silk Road on land and the Silk Road on the sea to the world, showing the profound history and culture of China and the Silk Road spirit with peaceful cooperation, openness and tolerance, mutual learning and mutual benefit as its core.
"Four Seasons in Beijing" skillfully combines pleasant piano playing with spring, summer, autumn and winter depicted by oil painting, watercolor painting, meticulous painting and Chinese painting. In the romantic and elegant piano music of Liszt’s Dream of Love, the setting sun, the Forbidden City, the folk hutong, the red leaves of the Summer Palace and the Great Wall in the snow are superimposed one by one, showing the beauty of Beijing.
This is a feast of blending Chinese and western cultures — —
The ballet "Ink Silk Language" tells the story of a distant visitor meeting a group of elegant girls in the misty rain south of the Yangtze River, conveying the good wishes of Chinese and foreign people to know each other and get close; Male and female voices deeply interpret China’s classic song "I Love You China" and Italian folk song "My Sun". The beautiful harmony is intoxicating, just like the "Belt and Road" connecting the East and the West, composing a friendship movement of cultural blending.
At the end of the performance, children from more than 30 countries along the "Belt and Road" joined hands with China children to sing a song "Ode to Peace for a Common Home". The hall echoed with the sounds of nature, and the vast universe and blue earth were projected on the 3D screen, presenting our beautiful home.
This is not only an ode to friendship and world peace, but also a tribute to the community of human destiny.
Anton, an 8-year-old boy from Belarus, is the youngest actor in the audience. "This is my first time on stage with friends from so many countries, and I will always remember ‘ Belt and Road ’ 。”
Time flies, things change. Crossing the starry sky of history, the ancient Silk Road is full of new vitality of the times. As the Chairman of the Supreme Leader said, it is a continuation of the historical trend and a correct choice for the future that we inherit the spirit of the ancient Silk Road and discuss the construction of the Belt and Road.
Tomorrow, Chinese and foreign leaders will continue to discuss the construction plan of the "Belt and Road" and draw a beautiful blueprint for mutually beneficial cooperation. The "Belt and Road" construction, which carries the people of all countries’ longing for exchanges, looking forward to peace and pursuing development, is standing at a new starting point and starting a new journey of building a community of human destiny.
