来自珠海姐妹城市——意大利拉斯佩齐亚的画家Carlo也受邀来到活动现场，他表示：“这是我第一次来珠海，这次来是为我的创作找找灵感。下午过来这里的路上，我看到好几个公园，很多人在公园里散步、锻炼，这让我觉得珠海是一个充满生机和活力的城市。今天的活动也惊喜连连，美味的热红酒和祖母汤满满都是家乡的味道。非常开心能够参加这次活动，中外朋友们共庆新年，非常值得纪念，这一定会给我的创作带来灵感！期待未来中意两国之间能够有更多的文化交流机会！”
Carlo, an Italian artist from Zhuhai’s sister city, La Spezia, Italy, is one of our special guests. He said: “This is my first visit to Zhuhai. I’m here to get some ideas for my work. On my way here this afternoon, I saw several parks, and many people were walking and exercising there. This makes me feel that Zhuhai is such a vibrant city. Today’s event is also full of surprises. The wine and the soup are the taste of home! I am so happy to be here in this event. It’s very impressive to celebrate the coming new year with so many foreign friends. This will definitely inspire my creation. I am eagerly anticipating more opportunities for cultural exchanges between Italy and China!”

去年，意大利中国之友文化协会首次在中心举办了新年庆祝活动，也是首个由外籍友人发起、在中心开展的活动，今年是活动的第二届。各国友人主办并积极参与中心的活动，充分展现出中心打造国际化社区的建设成果，国际友好型的社区氛围助力外籍友人更好地融入在珠生活，促进了社区共融。未来，中心将与更多外籍友人展开合作，通过更多丰富多彩的文化活动，促进多元文化共融，搭建中外友好交流的平台。
Last year, Associazione Amici della Cina held a new year’s celebration event at Huafa MSCE for the first time, being the first activity initiated by foreign friends in our community. This year, the event was held for the second time. Foreign friends’ active initiation and participation of events held at Huafa MSCE fully demonstrate that our center’s efforts in establishing an internationalized community have come to fruition. The friendly atmosphere in the community helps foreigners better fit into the local life and promotes the construction of a harmonious community. In the future, Huafa MSCE will cooperate with more foreign friends to organize more and better activities and events so as to promote multicultural integration and build a platform for friendly exchanges between Chinese and foreign friends.
