《English Translation》

刘娜: Xiao Pan, recently many foreign tourists have come to China not just to see scenery, but to experience intangible cultural heritage with their own hands.
小潘: Teacher, I saw them making silk round fans in Suzhou and learning ceramics in Jingdezhen. It feels very real.
刘娜: Yes, this kind of “slow experience” is very Chinese. Chinese people often say, “Every stitch and every thread has a story.”
小潘: When dyeing indigo printed cloth in Fenghuang, tourists listen to the meanings of the patterns. It reminds me of folk beliefs in history.
刘娜: You’ve observed very well. Intangible heritage is not just craftsmanship, but also a way of life and emotion.
小潘: I noticed many foreigners are willing to spend hours learning to throw clay on the wheel—very quiet and focused.
刘娜: That’s exactly the charm of culture: it makes people slow down and feel with both hands and heart.
小潘: I hope that in the future I can read more Chinese literature and share these stories with my Vietnamese friends.
