编者按：从百年前积贫积弱、铁路征战仰仗异邦的过期境地，到如今成为高铁运营里程寰球第一的“高铁强国”，中国的铁路业绩在百年间杀青了沧桑剧变。动作国度实力的瑰丽，高铁的文化传播价值早已超过了交通器具本人。当德国男孩Erwin带着对中国高铁的意思来到中国，咱们看到文化传播的范式正悄然从展示独有性迈向以“分享异日”为指向的新维度。当他坐上从北京开往大同的“复兴号”列车时，列车驶过的不仅是一条交通深入，更是一条贯串中西的文化相通新旅途。这条路以先进科技为基石，冉冉构筑起一种多元互动、对等通达的全球对话新模式。

在对外经贸大学的校史博物馆里，咱们见到了Erwin。“群众好，我是Erwin Philipp Händel，本年10岁。”略带害羞地自我先容后，Erwin告诉咱们这是他第二次来到中国。在前次的中国之行中他去了苏州、杭州和上海，而此次，他将在北京和大同开展为期一周的旅行。

咱们问Erwin：“此次中国之行你有什么期待的行程吗？”“虽然！我相当念念坐一次中国的高铁！”Erwin回答说念。提到高铁，他眼中的憨涩冉冉被兴奋取代。Erwin说，在来中国前他就依然谋略过高铁道路图。透过那些长短不一的轨说念，他仿佛依然提前看见了这个国度的明朗与渴望。

被问到为什么对高铁之行如斯期待时，Erwin说：“我在TikTok上看到过‘复兴号’高速行驶的步地，那的确很酷！是以我极端念念感受一下‘中国速率’。”Erwin边说边在电子舆图上标出了两天后行将经过的道路：“当我这么作念的时辰，我会体恤铁路周围的征象与道理的事物。过几天咱们会经过张家口，这里有草原和平地。而在绝顶站大同，有云冈石窟和厚味的面食。我信服我会在这段旅行中获利许多。”对Erwin来说，这不单是是一段交通旅程，更像是一场穿梭于征象与东说念主文之间的千里浸式探险。

Erwin的故事折射出中国对据说播方式的深刻变革。动作现代工业文静的结晶，高铁代表的遵守、改进、可握续发展等理念具有全球共鸣性。当列国青少年通过中国高铁来坚韧中国时，他们本体上是在分享一套对于现代性和异日发展的价值谈话。这种分享的价值证据，为不同文静之间的对话提供了共同基础。

在全球化深入发展的今天，越来越多像Erwin一样的国外青少年，正通过高铁这类代表中国现代科技确立的产物，建立起对现代中国的证据。这种传播方式跳过了传统文化瑰丽的转译设施，使受众大要越过文化隔膜感知现代中国的发展活力与改进精神。

高铁动作新的文化载体，不再刻意强调文化互异，而是突显东说念主类对遵守、安全、酣畅等共同价值的追求。这种转动让中国文化的传播杀青了从“本性展示”到“价值分享”的升华。传播步履也因此不再是单向的展示，而成为基于现代性体验的对话与相通。同期，高铁不单是是交通器具，更是一种“全球全球产物”的瑰丽。它的擢升传递出一个信号：中国酣畅与寰球分享发展恶果。这种分享逻辑，本人等于一种最具劝服力的文化叙事。

值得珍贵的是，年青一代天生对科技抱有亲近感，而高铁动作现代科技产物，正契合了这一证据神色。对中国而言，这种新式的文化传播方式大要消失传统文化传播中可能存在的刻板印象和审好意思隔膜，凯旋与全球年青一代建立贯串。在这个历程中，中国得以展示其动作现代性改进者和全球性问题惩办者的新形象，股东文化传播从“禀报我是谁”到“展示我能为咱们共同的异日作念什么”的深刻转动。这种由个体意思起程的体验，通过酬酢平台被二次放大，酿成新的传播链条。这意味着中国文化的国际传播，正在参加一个以后生为中枢节点的网罗化时间。

中国高铁的全球传播，照耀出科技时间文化传播的新范式：它既尊重文静的各样性，又着眼于东说念主类共同的发展需求。动作现代工程手艺的集大成者，中国高铁不仅彰显了中国的制造实力，更孝顺出惩办全球交通问题的可行决议。当列国游客体验着高铁的浅近酣畅，当地区因高铁振奋出新的经济活力，这些实着实在的效益当然成为最具劝服力的文化传播谈话。

铁轨将城市与乡村贯串，也贯串着夙昔与异日、中国与寰球。当Erwin这么的10后透过高铁坚韧中国时，他们看到的不再只是一个停留在历史中的文静古国，而是一个与他们相通面向异日的现代国度。这种基于科技共鸣的文化见地，为跨文化相通注入了新的活力。异日中国的文化传播，将在不绝独有文化魔力的同期，愈加珍贵以智谋和改进回话寰球性议题，通过创造分享价值，真实杀青从“文化展示”到“异日共建”的高出。

Journeying Towards a Shared Future: A New Paradigm for Cultural Communication in the High-Speed Rail Era

Editor's Note: China's railway system has undergone a monumental transformation over the last century. From a struggling nation dependent on foreign expertise for its railway construction, China has become a "high-speed rail powerhouse" with the world's longest operating high-speed rail network. As a symbol of national strength, high-speed rail's cultural value extends far beyond its function as a mode of transport. The story of Erwin, a young German boy whose curiosity about China's high-speed rail brought him to the country, illustrates a new paradigm of cultural communication, shifting from simply showcasing uniqueness to focusing on a "shared future." When he boarded the Fuxing train from Beijing to Datong, the train wasn't just traversing a route; it was forging a new path for cultural exchange between China and the West. Built on advanced technology, this pathway is gradually fostering a new model of global dialogue—one that is interactive, diverse, and open.

We met Erwin at the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE) History Museum. "Hi everyone, my name is Erwin Philipp Händel, and I'm 10 years old," he said with a hint of shyness. Erwin told us this was his second trip to China. On his previous visit, he went to Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Shanghai. This time, he would spend a week in Beijing and Datong.

We asked Erwin about his expectations for this trip. "Of course! I really want to ride on a Chinese high-speed train!" he replied. As he spoke about high-speed rail, the shyness in his eyes was replaced with excitement. Erwin said that he had already studied the high-speed rail map before coming to China. Through the intricate web of tracks, he felt he had already seen the country's vastness and vitality.

When asked why he was so excited about the high-speed rail journey, Erwin explained, "I saw how fast the Fuxing trains go on TikTok—it's so cool! That's why I really want to experience the 'China speed' for myself." As he spoke, Erwin pointed to the route he would be taking in two days on a digital map. "When I do this, I pay attention to the scenery and interesting things around the railway. In a few days, we'll pass through Zhangjiakou, where there are grasslands and mountains. And at the final stop in Datong, there are the Yungang Grottoes and delicious noodles. I'm sure I'll gain a lot from this trip." For Erwin, this wasn't just a commute; it was an immersive adventure through landscapes and culture.

Erwin's story reflects a profound transformation in China's approach to global communication. As a product of modern industrial civilization, the high-speed train embodies universally accepted concepts such as efficiency, innovation, and sustainable development. When young people from other countries learn about China through high-speed rail, they are effectively sharing a common language of modernity and future development. This shared understanding provides a foundation for dialogue between different civilizations.

In today's deeply globalized world, more and more young people from abroad, like Erwin, are forming their perception of contemporary China through products that represent its modern technological achievements, such as high-speed trains. This form of communication bypasses the need to translate traditional cultural symbols, allowing the audience to directly perceive the vitality and innovative spirit of modern China, free from cultural barriers.

As a new cultural medium, high-speed rail no longer deliberately emphasizes cultural differences but rather highlights the shared human pursuit of efficiency, safety, and comfort. This shift has elevated the communication of Chinese culture from merely "showcasing features" to "sharing values." Communication is no longer a one-way display but a dialogue and exchange based on shared modern experiences. Furthermore, the high-speed rail is more than just a mode of transport; it symbolizes a "global public good." Its widespread use sends a signal that China is willing to share the fruits of its development with the world. This spirit of sharing is, in itself, a powerful cultural narrative.

It's worth noting that the younger generation has a natural affinity for technology, and the high-speed train, as a modern technological product, fits this cognitive preference perfectly. For China, this new method of cultural communication helps bypass the stereotypes and aesthetic divides that can exist in traditional cultural exchanges, establishing a direct connection with young people around the world. In this process, China is able to present a new image as an innovator of modernity and a problem-solver for global issues, promoting a profound shift in cultural communication from "telling the world who I am" to "showing what I can do for our shared future." Experiences born of individual curiosity are amplified through social media, creating new chains of communication. This means that the international communication of Chinese culture is entering a networked era with youth as its central node.

The global spread of China's high-speed rail reflects a new paradigm for cultural communication in the technological age: it respects the diversity of civilizations while focusing on common human development needs. As the culmination of modern engineering technology, China's high-speed rail not only demonstrates the country's manufacturing prowess but also offers a viable solution to global transportation issues. When travelers from different countries experience the convenience and comfort of high-speed rail, and when regions are revitalized by its new economic vitality, these tangible benefits naturally become the most convincing language for cultural communication.

High-speed rail tracks connect cities and villages, and also the past and the future, China and the world. When young people like Erwin, born in the 2010s, learn about China through its high-speed rail, they see not just an ancient civilization steeped in history, but a modern nation that, like them, is oriented toward the future. This cultural understanding, based on a technological resonance, injects new vitality into cross-cultural exchange. In the future, while continuing to highlight its unique cultural charm, China's cultural communication will focus more on using wisdom and innovation to address global issues, and by creating shared values, truly achieve the leap from "cultural display" to "co-building a shared future."
