我与“汉语桥” | 14年磨一剑，“桥”见中文！追梦没有终点（Youth and Chinese Bridge: After 14 Years of Preparation, She Pursues Her dream on the Chinese Bridge）

     作为教育部中外语言交流合作中心主办的国际中文赛事，“汉语桥”自2002年启幕以来，已会聚160多国的180多万青少年共赴中文之约。津云循着这份文化热忱，打造系列短视频《我与“汉语桥”》，记录语言交流的动人篇章。

　　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.

　　2025年9月，第十八届“汉语桥”世界中学生中文比赛总决赛舞台，来自美国的17岁女孩白蕾拉正目光坚定地站在聚光灯下。从3岁初识中文，到以土耳其中文导游身份实践语言，再到为备赛每日仅睡四五小时、连轴彩排，她怀揣对中文的执着与对中华文化的向往，在“汉语桥”上留下了属于自己的追梦足迹……

　　Bai Leila (Leyla Gibbon), a 17-year-old girl from the United States, stood firmly under the spotlight on the stage of the 18^th Chinese Bridge-Chinese Proficiency Competition for Foreign Secondary School Students in September 2025. From encountering Chinese at the age of three, to working as a Chinese-speaking tour guide in Türkiye, and then to rehearsing day and night and having only four or five hours of sleep in preparation for the competition, she has pursued her dream with persistence for the Chinese language and deep affection for Chinese culture, leaving footprints of dedication on the Chinese Bridge.
