1. EXPATS TRAVERSE HISTORY & CULTURE ON A BIKE TOUR

A group of 17 expats【在海外旅居的人】 took a bike tour today, traversing【穿过】some of Shanghai’s history and experiencing the local culture and customs during the Dragon Boat Festival. Zhang Hong follows them on the tour.

今天（14日），17位在沪工作、生活的外籍人士，一起骑行上海街头，阅读城市建筑，同时体验端午民俗。

The tour started at the Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum in Hongkou District, where expats learned about the life of Jewish Refugees who fled to Shanghai to escape the Nazi Persecution【迫害】 during World War II. They were impressed by the exhibits detailing the lives of the Jews in Shanghai at the time.

参加活动的外国友人首站来到位于虹口的上海犹太难民纪念馆，了解“上海方舟”的来历和上海文化“海纳百川”的国际主义传统。馆内展陈详细描述了犹太难民在上海的生活图景，让他们深受感动。

INTERVIEWEE:

Michael Wunderlich, Vice Director

Germany Hamburg Liaison Office China

“I think there’s a very special fact here that even the entire world has refused to take these poor people, Shanghai still opens its door and welcomes them to come here and have a new life here.”

“我认为这里有一个非常特别的事实，即使整个世界都拒绝接纳犹太难民，上海仍然敞开大门，欢迎他们来这里，在这里开始新的生活。”

INTERVIEWEE:

Ann Sophie de Meester, Director

Acclime China

“One thing that really struck me was that when Shanghai opened up to the Jews, Shanghai did not have an easy time. The Chinese were also suffering. But they still found their way to help other people.”

“真正打动我的是，上海向犹太人敞开大门时，处境也很艰难。中国人也在受苦，但他们仍然设法帮助别人。”

The group then took a30-minute ride, passing through the North Bund before finally reaching Si’hang Warehouse, site of a four-day battle between the Chinese soldiers and invading Japanese forces back in 1937. The battle-damaged wall of the warehouse is a testament【实际的证明】 to the bravery of the soldiers who died of defending【防守、保卫】the city.

经过半小时的骑行，骑行队伍途径北外滩行至“四行仓库”抗战纪念馆。1937年，中国“八百壮士”在这里与侵华日军激战了四天。“四行仓库”布满炮弹孔的西墙见证了誓死保卫上海的英雄壮举。

“I think it’s a very exciting and inspiring story. These guys faced such fierce opposition and kept fighting in such brave way. It’s really inspiring to everyone. I have heard of it before, but I haven’t seen this wall for a long time. It’s really good to come here and have a look.”

“非常激动，非常激励。这些战士面对如此激烈的炮火，勇敢地坚守和战斗，对每个人都是一种激励。我以前听说过，但一直都没见过。来这里看看真是太好了。”

After the visit, the group rode to Sinan Mansions near Xintiandi, which features a complex of early 20th century western-style garden residences. In the mansion【公馆】, they were taught how to make rice dumplings.

随后，骑行队伍来到新天地附近的思南公馆，这里有成片建于20世纪初的花园洋房。在思南公馆里，外国友人学习了包粽子。

“I was able to create a Zongzi that would like a triangle. It’s more functional than aesthetic. But I’m sure it will taste good.”

“我能够包出三角形的粽子了，虽然样子不够好看。但我敢肯定，味道会很好。”

INTERVIEWEE:

Michael Luevano, Executive Director

Shanghai JussEvent Operation & Management Co.

“It’s always interesting to learn new things and learn how to make Zongzi. It’s very humbling. Although it looks simple, it’s actually very difficult to do. So that was the first thing. Also, the bike tour was really amazing. It’s something I wouldn’t normally do. So it’s really a learning experience for me.”

“学习新事物总是很有趣，比如说学习如何包粽子。虽然会有点受挫，因为尽管看起来很简单，但实际挺难的。这是第一点。还有，骑行之旅真的很棒，这是我通常不会做的事。所以这次对我来说有很多新的体验。”

The tour ended at the Memorial of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, where the group learned how the party was founded by viewing historical relics,photographs and diagrams.

骑行之旅最后一站是中共一大纪念馆，通过文物实物、图片图表等了解中国共产党的诞生历程

The city is home to about 215,000 expats, accounting for nearly a quarter of China’s total. That makes Shanghai’s expat community the largest on the mainland.

目前在沪工作的外籍人士数量为21.5万，占全国的1/4左右。上海是中国大陆外籍人士最多的城市。
