In the view of Lina, a Russian girl, the Chinese language is incredibly rich and profound, with each character containing unique meanings and emotions. 

在俄罗斯女孩儿林娜(Lina)看来,汉语博大精深,每个汉字都蕴含着独特的意义和情感。

 

Among all the Chinese characters, her favorite is "安"  (an). She believes that this character not only conveys a sense of peace and tranquility through its sound, but also carries beautiful meanings.

在众多汉字中,她最喜欢的汉字是“安”。她认为这个字不仅在音韵上给人们以平和、宁静的感觉,在意义上也具有美好的象征。

 

She explained that the character "安" stands for peace and safety - one of the simplest yet most heartfelt blessings. Before setting off on a journey, Chinese people often say "一路平安" (yi lu ping an), wishing their family members and friends a smooth and worry-free trip.

她解释道,“安”字代表着平安,这是最质朴又最深情的祝福。出发前,中国人一般说“一路平安”,希望家人朋友们路上能顺顺当当,一切安心。

 

The character "安" also represents stability. The "宀" at the top symbolizes a protective roof, while the character "女" (woman) underneath evokes the warmth of home. As the saying goes, "安居乐业" (an ju le ye) - to live stably and work happily. In Lina's eyes, this is the simplest form of happiness in life.

“安”字还代表着安定。“宀”头象征庇护的屋檐,下方的"女"字代表家的温暖。俗话说:“安居乐业”。在林娜看来,安定地生活,愉快地工作,就是最简单的幸福。(张雅涵)
