最近，一條視頻在海外火了。夜幕下的中國廣場，竟成了“露天小廚房”。一群小朋友圍著灶臺，系上圍裙，點火、切菜、炒菜，動作利落得像專業廚師。
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.
而這一堂“廚藝課”只要20元，就能讓孩子用新鮮的食材學做三道菜。
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 的這條視頻發布后，外國網友看完坐不住了：“中國小孩的娛樂活動這么‘硬核’嗎？”“中國教育已經這么超前了嗎？”
其實，對孩子的教育，早就不局限于課堂。打開社交平臺，各地幼兒園的“生活技能課”層出不窮。買菜、做飯、編織、木工……孩子們在真實的生活里動手、動腦，在實踐中長大。
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.
有的幼兒園甚至帶著孩子們蓋“迷你房子”——從攪拌水泥到砌磚壘墻，整套流程一氣呵成。網友笑稱：“20歲應聘，簡歷上能寫15年工作經驗。”
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!"
動手教育，不只是技能訓練，更是一種生活態度。它讓孩子們明白，生活的每一步都值得親手去做。
而要讓孩子放心去探索、勇敢去實踐，安全的環境是最重要的前提。
在“露天小廚房”視頻的評論區，許多海外觀眾注意到，中國公園竟然安全到可以讓孩子們在夜晚自由活動。這在其他一些國家是難以想象的。
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.
許多外國博主都曾記錄過中國街頭夜晚的場景。街道安全又熱鬧，人們散步、游玩、跳廣場舞，各得其樂。視頻下方的評論區也涌入了大量外國網友分享的親身經歷，大家一致感嘆，中國是一個非常安全的國家。
中國這種注重實踐能力的教育方式，以及安全宜人的生活環境，也正在扭轉越來越多外國人對于中國的看法。
外國博主@juliiachinaa 天天兮兮 曾回憶，當她決定帶孩子來到中國時，周圍人對她的選擇充滿質疑甚至嘲笑，認為這是在拿孩子的未來冒險。
然而，隨著時間的推移，她的決定得到了印證：那些曾經質疑的人要么沉默，要么主動向她請教經驗。
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.
她記錄八歲的兒子獨自在超市購物的系列視頻，在海外社交媒體上引起了熱烈討論，許多人驚訝于孩子的獨立性和中國社會提供的安全環境。
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.
另一位外國博主（@thesmitlocks）分享了孩子在中國開學第一天的溫馨場景。老師帶領學生們制作“新學期愿望罐”，將不同顏色的珠子投入玻璃罐中，每一種顏色都代表一個美好的心愿——聰明、平安、自由、健康……孩子們開心分享彼此的愿望，既感受到滿滿的儀式感，也在這溫暖氛圍中迅速融入新環境，結識了新朋友。
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.
許多外國家長來了之后都發現，中國在教育環境和社會安全方面真的很令人安心，讓他們能無后顧之憂地培養孩子獨立成長。
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國在培養孩子動手能力方面的進步？歡迎分享。
