Impression of Malaysia

Text/yiruo

As the old saying goes, it's better to take Wan Li Road than to study in thousands of books. We can learn a lot about other countries from books, but after all, we have never experienced them personally. No matter which city or country, it will have its own personalized characteristics and styles. Only by truly being there can we feel the connotation of a city and understand the world of a city. During the National Day, I took advantage of my school's study tour program to go to Malaysia. I met many people, gained a lot of knowledge and left a different story.

Our first stop in Malaysia was the University of Malaya. From Kuala Lumpur International Airport to University of Malaya, I experienced unusual things all the way, feeling the shock and touch brought by Malaysia.

When I entered Kuala Lumpur International Airport, I immediately ran into the bathroom. A door in the bathroom opened and I ran over at once. Before I could walk in, I heard "Miss, would you please line up?"

Unknown to me, looking back, there was a long queue behind me, so I skipped this conspicuous long queue and went straight to the toilet door. At that moment, my face immediately became hot, and I really wanted to find a hole to get into, so I couldn't curl up. But there is no hole to drill, so I can only go back to the end of the line in despair. I watched in the bathroom, one person went in and one person came out, and the orderly scene resumed. Recalling that I used to use public toilets, I rarely saw such a queue scene. I'm ashamed of my behavior just now, and this scene also makes me more curious about Malaysia.

Walking out of the airport, we met Mr. Huang who received us. We got on the school bus of the University of Malaysia. On the school bus, I looked around with curiosity about the city. There are lush palm trees along the road, and sometimes you can see some unknown flowers to decorate the green.

There are many people riding electric cars on the road. They are all wearing helmets. Surprisingly, I didn't find anyone who didn't wear a helmet along the way, even those who rode an electric car didn't wear a helmet.

In the car, I was bored and put a bottle of mineral water (its width is almost the same as the diameter of mineral water) beside the window. Nearly two hours later, we arrived at the University of Malaya, and my bottle of water never left my seat, not even shaking strongly. Yes, this is just a bottle, but I have to say that this bottle tells us that this country attaches importance to traffic rules and life.

I think things like using the bathroom in an orderly way, wearing a helmet on the road and driving safely and smoothly will only happen on certain occasions. But in the following time, what I saw proved that my idea was wrong. When shopping in the mall, the bathroom is still in and out in an orderly way. People on the escalator should stand on the left as far as possible, leaving the seat on the right as an emergency passage. When you take a taxi, you also wait in line at a specific seat in an orderly manner; When using Malaysian coins, you never have to worry about vendors giving counterfeit money. ...

Everything is just what Malaysians are used to. For them, they have their own principles, their own country's traffic principles, and the principle of literacy in public places. They just try to abide by these principles, and eventually they no longer need the supervision of principles, but become a habit.

Malaysia is a colorful country. Her color is not only reflected in the colors of the three races "black, white and yellow", but also in the colors of its buildings and its colorful life.

In Malaysia, we visited the University of Malaya, Deliseth Normal University in Malaysia and Putra University in Malaysia. These three schools gave me a strong visual impact.

Traditional box-type buildings, combined with conspicuous colors, such as blue, red or yellow, are the main colors, and combined with light colors, make these buildings more conspicuous and radiant in the sun. And buildings of this color, built in schools, are positive, active and individual. No matter a school, a society or a country, it needs some individual colors to show that it belongs to a school, a society or even a country.

In addition to the school, there are only the remaining buildings in the central square of Malacca during the Dutch rule, and the red style is quite eye-catching. The Red Mansion is witnessing the progress of history, and colorful floats in front of the Red Mansion show the unique subtropical customs. There is also the gray St. Paul's Hill Church, which witnessed the vicissitudes of life, and also reflects rich cultural connotations with its gray.

Colored buildings naturally have a colorful life. In Malaysia, there are many entertainment places, such as small bars. The most famous place is Genting Highland Entertainment City, which is known as "South Monte Carlo". It is well known that gambling is prohibited in Malaysia, but genting highlands is an exception. At an altitude of about 2000 meters, the mountains are misty and unpredictable, and the surrounding mountains overlap, just like being in a fairyland. There are all kinds of dazzling sightseeing facilities in the room, as well as sightseeing projects suitable for all ages and dozens of Asian-style gourmet restaurants. Inside the casino, there are so many lights, so many fans, noisy music, flashing neon lights, crowded and very lively. Here, there are people from all corners of the country, and human nature is released in this casino.

Colorful Malaysia, colorful life, shows unique charm and gives me a unique impact.

In the spring thunder-like drums, there are several bridesmaids in bright clothes, holding plumeria in their hands, holding umbrellas in front, followed by a pair of drummers wearing performance clothes and carrying Malay drums on their shoulders, and a couple in the middle, who walk towards the wedding table in the crowd (the wedding table is a colorful shed decorated with palm leaves and various flowers, which is extremely beautifully decorated. )。

Yes, this is a wedding, a traditional wedding of local residents in Malaysia. Fortunately, I can attend this wedding and feel their happy moment.

At the wedding, the groom's nails and the back of his hand should be dyed ginger, which is called "palm dyeing ceremony" by the locals. On the wedding day, put a high copper coin in front of the couple. The jar is filled with turmeric rice, popcorn, crushed hawthorn leaf juice and a container filled with crushed henna. A respected religious teacher took some yellow rice and sprinkled it on the groom's shoulder, then sprayed it on the groom's hand with ginger juice and painted it on the groom's palm with henna. However, the groom's palm will not be stained. He will take this ginger to start a new life at the bride's house. The bride was pinched by good sisters with fresh henna and painted her nails, palms and feet bright red.

The ceremony of "sitting side by side" is the climax of Malaysian wedding, and it is also an unforgettable moment for newcomers to enjoy the "King of the Sun". The paragraph I just described before is a short piece of "And Salute". After the newlyweds step into the main wedding table, they stand on the stage with their hands folded, just like the king facing the court. After they walk side by side, they can enjoy the dignity of a king for one day. In the meantime, there will always be someone waiting for someone new. This scene is really like being in a palace. It is at this moment that you become the "king of the day" and accept everyone's blessings.

When attending the wedding, the host knew that we were guests from afar. They don't care that we wear short sleeves, but they are willing to accept our blessings from afar. When it comes to blessing, it is also very particular. Each guest should take turns to come forward to bless the couple, sprinkle leaves, fragrant rice, petals and holy water on the couple, shake hands with the couple to bless them, and then receive a bunch of plumeria from them, symbolizing the bride's early birth and many healthy children. The bride and groom can't step down until the blessing is over.

We were warmly received in this wedding, and we felt the warmth and happiness brought by the wedding. The couple took a group photo with us and their faces showed joy. They expect their happiness to be blessed by others, and they are willing to pass on their happiness to you.

During my ten days in Malaysia, I met different Malaysians. They are big red flowers, full of enthusiasm, heroism and unique warmth.

After entering Malaysia, we lived in the University of Malaya. On the way into the dormitory, we met the president of the University of Malaya. He is very easy-going and kindly asks us where we came from, how was our trip, and so on. In fact, at that time, we didn't know that he was the president of the University of Malaya, but just thought that he was a staff member of the University of Malaya. The next day, when we attended the welcome meeting of the University of Malaya, we were surprised to find that it was the president of the University of Malaya who greeted us yesterday.

When we visited the presidential palace, we were accompanied by several foreign students who chatted with us as they walked. I can feel their confidence and enthusiasm. They asked us how we felt at the University of Malaya, and they were concerned about whether we were used to the Malayan way of life. Walking, they constantly remind us that there are steps here and ditches there. Such meticulous care makes me feel the warmth of friends from different countries.

During my ten days in Malaysia, I was moved by the architecture of this country and even more by the people of this country. In the last two days, we spent it on the island of Jaelang in Malaysia. Diving is an essential project on the island. We have three diving opportunities. I am a real landlubber, and I have never been in the water since I was a child. But I still want to put on my life jacket, walk in such a beautiful sea and see what the world is like in this country's ocean. The first time I dived, I was not swept away by the sea. A lifeguard on the island saw me being left behind and took me diving in the sea. On the second dive, I picked up shells. People on the island told me that shells were not allowed to be taken out of the island, and I saw their love for the island. On the third dive, I went to shallow water and was scratched by coral, but I experienced a wonderful snorkeling because I met the lifeguard who took me diving again. The blue sky is more touching than the green sea water. In the sun, the slight waves on the horizontal plane shine with stars.

We all know that the national flower of Malaysia is Zhu Jin, alias Dahonghua. This flower looks warm and unrestrained, but it has a unique flower heart, which is connected by most small pistils and wrapped outside the big pistil, and its structure is quite detailed. Isn't this like a Malaysian national? They are hospitable, considerate, principled, United and full of vigor. ...

In ten days, we visited three Malaysian universities and felt their teaching style and educational atmosphere. We walked through the downtown area of Kuala Lumpur, looked back at the grandeur of the church, felt the exotic customs of Little India and lamented the unique design of the Twin Towers. We walked through Malacca, experienced local folk customs and enjoyed the happiness of local weddings; We walked through the heat wave island, looked at the clear water and blue sky, tasted the pure natural coconut juice and embraced the sea. The scenery in Malaysia touched me, and so did the people in Malaysia.

This trip, like a big red flower with slender fingers, left a deep mark in my heart.
