Stories in 2025: A Croatian girl carries on her father's unfinished Chinese dream
2025年纪事:克罗地亚女孩续写父亲未竟的中国梦
"I must have been Chinese in my previous life." This is the most profound sentiment of Ela Caruzzi, a Croatian woman. Hailing from Croatia, she now sits in a classroom at the Beiing Film Academy. Ela's deep bond with China was sown as early as four decades ago – her father once studied in Beiing and dreamed of staying in China to pursue a career in the film industry but had to return to Croatia due to his grandfather's passing. When Ela was 16, while her classmates yearned for the West, her father said to her, "Go to China. That's where you'll truly grow." With a promise to learn Chinese first, she came to Kunming in southwest China's Yunnan Province, alone, in 2023. There, she never felt afraid because living in China made her feel extremely safe.
“我上辈子一定是中国人。” 这是克罗地亚姑娘埃拉・卡鲁奇最深的感触。她来自克罗地亚,如今坐在北京电影学院的课堂里。埃拉与中国的深厚缘分早在四十年前便已埋下种子,她的父亲曾赴北京求学,原本梦想留在中国深耕电影事业,却因祖父离世不得不返回克罗地亚。埃拉 16 岁那年,同学们都满心向往西方,父亲却对她说:“去中国吧,那里才是你真正成长的地方。” 带着先学好中文的心愿,她在 2023 年独自一人来到中国云南昆明,在这里她从未感到过害怕,因为在中国生活让她觉得无比安心。
In 2025, Ela fulfilled her wish to return to China for further studies. What she will never forget is when her Chinese teacher invited her to spend the Spring Festival in her hometown in Dali. In the beautiful Chinese countryside, she dined and danced with the teacher's family and received red envelopes brimming with blessings. "At that moment, I truly felt like I was a part of them." From Croatia to Beiing, from her father's Chinese dream to her own – Ela has proven through her personal experiences that some connections are destined to transcend generations and continents to find their way home.
2025 年,埃拉终于圆梦,重返中国深造。让她永生难忘的是,中文老师曾邀请她去大理老家过春节。在风景秀美的中国乡村,她和老师一家人同吃同乐、载歌载舞,还收到了满满都是祝福的红包。“那一刻,我真切觉得自己就是这个家的一份子。” 从克罗地亚到北京,从父亲未圆的中国梦到她自己的中国情缘,埃拉用亲身经历印证,有些羁绊早已命中注定,纵使跨越世代与山海,终会找到心灵的归途。

Her father had deep insight, he chose the right country for her to pursue her dreams. Just look at where China is today....... What a pity her father didn't live long enough to see how powerful and advanced China has become.
她父亲很有远见,给她选对了追梦的国家。看看如今的中国就知道了。可惜他没能亲眼见证,中国发展得这么强大、这么先进。

I don't think the video mentioned that her dad died. It was her grandfather that passed away.
我记得不是她爸爸去世,是她爷爷过世了呀。

When you are older you could set up your drama and media schools. In China and in other BRICS countries, India, Russia, Belarus, Brazil and in Indonesia.
等你以后长大了,可以自己开办影视传媒学校。在中国开,也可以开到金砖国家,比如印度、俄罗斯、白俄罗斯、巴西,还有印度尼西亚。

I hope she will bring her dad/family over to China for a visit. That would definitely please her dad!

Shame I would have been much more interested had you taken TCM. "film stars" are a dime a dozen and AI will replace them just like hollywood.
真可惜,你要是学中医我会更感兴趣。影视明星多得是,以后人工智能会取代他们,好莱坞那边也一样。

After the fall of co unists neonazi-bolshevik regime supported by the west (Putin was on horizon since 19...) took power of Kremlin. CPR, Lenin is humiliating moniker for the anciant civilization. Croatia evolutes. Finland lost winter war, dead bodies never remembered - self-destructive policy.
西方扶持的新纳粹布尔什维克政权倒台后,普京一派早在19世纪末就已崭露头角,随后掌控了克里姆林宫。克罗地亚在不断进步,芬兰输掉了冬季战争,牺牲者被彻底遗忘,这就是自取灭亡的政策。

Sucks to live in your sad sad head. Find a short pier, keep walking and don’t don’t look back.
你心里得多阴暗才会这么想,活得真可悲。找个短点的码头,一直往前走,别回头。

No bro, Trosky were funded by west. Bolsheviks support anti zionist committee in 80s but they ended after soviet union collapsed.
兄弟你说错了,是托洛茨基当年受西方资助。布尔什维克在80年代还支持过反犹太复国主义委员会,苏联解体后这个组织就解散了。

Human rights violations during war conflicts and political repressions type of Ustashi concentration camps or Soviet Gulag (you are the best! chroatian is the worst) are very diferrent things - the use of whole media to support Russian tyranny is crazy. You will regret.
战争中的人*侵犯、乌斯塔沙这类政治迫害,和苏联古拉格完全是两码事。你们还说克罗地亚最坏,简直离谱。媒体全力为俄罗斯暴证站台,太荒唐了,你们迟早会后悔的。

@mitenev.v touch some grass.
劝你多出去走走,别闭门造车了。
