中国公园“露天小厨房”引热议，外国网友：想带娃来中国……

最近，一条视频在海外火了。夜幕下的中国广场，竟成了“露天小厨房”。一群小朋友围着灶台，系上围裙，点火、切菜、炒菜，动作利落得像专业厨师。

An endearing social media post shows children in an "open-air kitchen", clad in tiny aprons, gathering around portable stoves, and cooking like little chefs.

而这一堂“厨艺课”只要20元，就能让孩子用新鲜的食材学做三道菜。

The entire kid-sized "cooking class" costs just 20 yuan, around $2.5, allowing kids to prepare three dishes using fresh ingredients.

博主@littlepearlsparents 的这条视频发布后，外国网友看完坐不住了：“中国小孩的娱乐活动这么‘硬核’吗？”“中国教育已经这么超前了吗？”

其实，对孩子的教育，早就不局限于课堂。打开社交平台，各地幼儿园的“生活技能课”层出不穷。买菜、做饭、编织、木工……孩子们在真实的生活里动手、动脑，在实践中长大。

In fact, education in China has long extended beyond traditional classrooms. Videos on social media show preschoolers engaging in "life skills classes", practicing activities such as grocery shopping, cooking, weaving, and woodworking. These experiences help children develop independence and problem-solving skills in real-life contexts.

有的幼儿园甚至带着孩子们盖“迷你房子”——从搅拌水泥到砌砖垒墙，整套流程一气呵成。网友笑称：“20岁应聘，简历上能写15年工作经验。”

Some kindergartens even guide children in building miniature houses, from mixing cement to stacking bricks, the whole process is hands-on. Netizens joked, "By the time they're 20, they could list 15 years of work experience on their resumes!"

动手教育，不只是技能训练，更是一种生活态度。它让孩子们明白，生活的每一步都值得亲手去做。

而要让孩子放心去探索、勇敢去实践，安全的环境是最重要的前提。

在“露天小厨房”视频的评论区，许多海外观众注意到，中国公园竟然安全到可以让孩子们在夜晚自由活动。这在其他一些国家是难以想象的。

Many international viewers have noted that the level of public safety in Chinese parks and squares allows children to move freely and participate in such activities even at night, something that would be unthinkable in some other countries.

许多外国博主都曾记录过中国街头夜晚的场景。街道安全又热闹，人们散步、游玩、跳广场舞，各得其乐。视频下方的评论区也涌入了大量外国网友分享的亲身经历，大家一致感叹，中国是一个非常安全的国家。

中国这种注重实践能力的教育方式，以及安全宜人的生活环境，也正在扭转越来越多外国人对于中国的看法。

外国博主@juliiachinaa 天天兮兮 曾回忆，当她决定带孩子来到中国时，周围人对她的选择充满质疑甚至嘲笑，认为这是在拿孩子的未来冒险。

然而，随着时间的推移，她的决定得到了印证：那些曾经质疑的人要么沉默，要么主动向她请教经验。

One foreign blogger (@juliiachinaa 天天兮兮) recalled that when she decided to move to China with her child, many around her doubted or even mocked the choice, believing it was a risk to her child's future. Over time, however, her decision proved well-founded: those who once questioned her either fell silent or later sought her advice.

她记录八岁的儿子独自在超市购物的系列视频，在海外社交媒体上引起了热烈讨论，许多人惊讶于孩子的独立性和中国社会提供的安全环境。

Her videos, documenting her eight-year-old son shopping alone in a local supermarket, sparked widespread discussion on international social media, with many viewers expressing amazement at the child's independence and the level of safety in Chinese society.

另一位外国博主（@thesmitlocks）分享了孩子在中国开学第一天的温馨场景。老师带领学生们制作“新学期愿望罐”，将不同颜色的珠子投入玻璃罐中，每一种颜色都代表一个美好的心愿——聪明、平安、自由、健康……孩子们开心分享彼此的愿望，既感受到满满的仪式感，也在这温暖氛围中迅速融入新环境，结识了新朋友。

A foreign blogger (@thesmitlocks) has shared his child’s first day of school in China — a day filled with color and smiles. Students crafted “wish jars”, dropping beads that stood for wisdom, safety, freedom, and health. The engaging activities and peaceful campus atmosphere helped the child confidently adapt to the new environment and make new friends.

许多外国家长来了之后都发现，中国在教育环境和社会安全方面真的很令人安心，让他们能无后顾之忧地培养孩子独立成长。

Many foreign parents emphasized that China's education system and social safety allow them to let their children grow independently, while providing the whole family with a richer and more reassuring life experience.

你是否也感受到了中国在培养孩子动手能力方面的进步 ？ 欢迎分享。
