“通过这次讲座，我了解到了共产党的重要性。如果没有共产党，就没有新中国，如果没有新中国，就没有中国人现在的幸福生活。”来自乌克兰的郑冰洁同学如是说。在听完党史教育讲座之后，留学生们也仿佛读懂了今日的中国。
为深入学习贯彻习近平总书记给北京大学留学生们的重要回信精神，进一步深化留学生党史学习教育，积极引导留学生“读懂今天的中国，读懂中国共产党”， 11月3日，由上海市教委资助、上海外国语大学承办的一带一路教育项目（中俄/中阿翻译）特别邀请了中共上海市委党校中共党史研究部的王瑶副教授，为来自俄语、阿语国家的学员们做了题为“中国共产党的百年辉煌历程”的专题讲座，收获了留学生们的一致好评。
“很多外国朋友也会经常问，中国发展到现在的状态，究竟靠的是什么，中国共产党在这个过程中扮演了什么角色，发挥了什么样的重要作用。”讲座伊始，王瑶老师通过自己与外国友人的交流经验，从外国人感兴趣的话题切入，讲到了中国近代所遇到的一些问题和我们党的艰难探索，也介绍了中国共产党发展历经的重要阶段以及百年奋斗的历史经验。通过视频、历史故事等生动的方式，向学员们全方位展示了一个立体、客观的中国共产党历史。
对外国留学生讲好讲透党的价值理念需要用外国人听得懂的语言与方式，比如讲到“人民至上”，王瑶老师解释说“我们共产党人好比种子，人民好比土地。我们到了一个地方，就要同那里的人民结合起来，在人民中间生根、开花。”通过生动形象的比喻，使得 “人民至上”这一党的核心价值理论给学员们留下了深刻的印象。来自吉尔吉斯斯坦的薇丽雅同学很受启发：“我认为这样的领导人（以民为本）一定有足够的能力发展美丽、优秀的国家。如果老百姓有穿的、吃的、住的，一定可以说很幸福。” 讲座结束之后，学员们也与王瑶老师进行了交流互动，并将自己看到的、理解的当今中国进行分享。
对一带一路教育项目（中俄/中阿翻译）的学员们而言，除了日常的汉语和口笔译实践课程之外，项目安排的中国国情教育活动（如红色线路云游、中国国情与文化课程、讲座等）对于帮助学员们理解中国的过去、现在和将来是非常有必要的。正如这次“不见外”的党史教育专题讲座，既是一次特殊的中国共产党党史学习经历，也是一次深入了解中国、学习中国历史经验的良机。
In order to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the important reply letter from General Secretary Xi Jinping to the international students of Peking University, to further deepen the education on the history of the CPC for international students and actively guide them “to understand today’s China, and the Communist Party of China”, on November 3, the Belt and Road Education Program (Chinese-Russian/Chinese-Arabic Translation) sponsored by Shanghai Municipal Education Commission and organized by Shanghai International Studies University, invited Associate Professor Wang Yao from the CPC History Research Department of the Shanghai Party Institute of CPC, to give a special lecture entitled The Centennial Glorious History of the Communist Party of China to international students from Russian and Arabic speaking countries, and won unanimous praise from the international students.
Many foreign friends also often ask what China has relied on to develop to its current state, and what role and importance the Chinese Communist Party has played in the process.” At the beginning of the lecture, through the communication with the international students, Ms. Wang Yao started from sharing topics that interest the foreigners, and talked about some of the problems and difficulties encountered by China during the modern times, as well as introducing the important stages that the CPC has gone through in its development and the historical experience of its century-long struggle. Through videos and historical stories, a three-dimensional and objective history of the CPC was presented to all international students.
