致外国朋友的一封信

A Letter to Our Foreign Friends

亲爱的外国朋友们：

Dear International Friends

你是否曾在上海的小弄堂里迷路，却意外发现一家开了三十年的葱油饼店？你是否在地铁里被陌生人善意地指过路？你是否在某个瞬间突然觉得——“这里就是上海”？

Have you ever gotten lost in a small alley in Shanghai, only to unexpectedly discover a scallion pancake shop that has been open for thirty years? Have you ever been given directions by a kind stranger on the subway? Have you ever suddenly felt at a certain moment—"This is Shanghai"?

如果你有故事，无论你更擅长写下来，还是更习惯拍下来，现在都有了一个官方舞台，让你被更多人看见。

If you have a story to tell, whether you are better at writing it down or more accustomed to capturing it on camera, there is now an official platform where you can be seen by more people.

第八届“相聚上海”征文暨短视频征集活动，面向所有在上海生活、工作、学习、旅行的外籍朋友开放投稿。这项由上海市人民对外友好协会、上海市文化和旅游局、上海图书馆主办的品牌活动，今年创新推出双赛道并行——你可以用文字书写，也可以用镜头记录。

The 8th Shanghai "Get-Together" Writing and Short Video Contest is open to submissions from all foreign friends who live, work, study, or travel in Shanghai. This branded event, jointly organized by the Shanghai People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism, and Shanghai Library, has introduced an innovative dual-track format this year—you can tell your story through writing or record it through the lens of a camera.

两个赛道，一种热爱

Two tracks, one passion

Part 01

这是一个什么样的活动？

What kind of event is this?

简单来说，这就是上海专门为外籍朋友搭建的一个“故事分享平台”。无论你来上海多久——几天、几个月还是几年——只要你在这里有过触动、有过惊喜、有过难忘的瞬间，我们都想听你讲出来。

Simply put, this is a "story-sharing platform" specially created by Shanghai for foreign friends. No matter how long you have been in Shanghai—whether for a few days, a few months, or several years—as long as you have experienced something touching, surprising, or unforgettable here, we would love to hear your story.

今年的主题是 “我的上海故事・跨越山海的遇见” ，你可以围绕：

上海城市新貌

（科创、生态、城市更新）

跨文化交融

（职场、交友、日常生活）

中国文化国际表达

（中外文化互鉴）

你与上海的双向奔赴

（个人成长与城市共融）

不需要宏大叙事，真实就好

This year's theme is "My Shanghai Story — Meet Across Mountains and Seas". You may write about:

✔ A New Vision of Shanghai (sci-tech innovation, ecological development, urban renewal)

✔ Cross-cultural Integration (career experiences, friendships, and daily life)

✔ International Expressions of Chinese Culture (mutual learning between Chinese and foreign cultures)

✔ Growing Together with Shanghai (personal growth and integration with the city)

There is no need for a grand narrative—just tell your real story.

怎么参与？两个赛道任选

How to participate? You may

choose either of the two tracks.

方式一：写一篇文章

如果你擅长文字，喜欢沉淀思考，欢迎投稿文字作品，文体不限，字数不限。

方式二：拍一条短视频

（我们尤其推荐！）

如果你觉得写作太费神，或者你本身就是“随手拍”爱好者，那么短视频赛道就是为你量身定做的。手机拍摄、简单剪辑、30秒到几分钟都可以。你镜头里的外滩、你吃过的生煎、你学会的第一句上海话——这些都值得被记录。

目前视频赛道的竞争更小，获奖概率更高↓

Option 1: Write an Article

If you enjoy writing and reflecting on your experiences, you are welcome to submit a written work. There are no restrictions on genre or length.

Option 2: Create a Short Video

(Highly Recommended!)

If writing feels too demanding, or if you are someone who enjoys capturing moments on the go, then the short video track is made for you. Videos can be shot on a mobile phone, edited simply, and can range from 30 seconds to a few minutes in length. The Bund through your lens, the "shengjian" you have tasted, the first phrase of Shanghainese you learned—these are all stories worth recording.

At present, the short video track is less competitive and offers a higher chance of winning an award. ↓

此外，2026年是“中非人文交流年”，活动特设 “中非人文交流年特别奖”4名（两个赛道均可参评），奖金2000元（或等值礼品）。

In addition, 2026 is the "Year of China-Africa Cultural and People-to-People Exchanges". The event has specially established four Special Awards for the Year of China-Africa Cultural and People-to-People Exchanges (open to participants from both tracks), with prizes of RMB 2,000 (or gifts of equivalent value).
