2025年10月24-26日，浙江大学公共管理学院国际事务与全球治理专业的中外学生赴南京苏州两座城市开展了一次富有成效的实地调研。本次调研旨在通过沉浸式的参访体验，深化学生们对中国历史文化传承、近代发展历程以及当代城市规划与治理实践的理解。
师生们此行的首站是南京博物院。通过参观丰富的永久陈列与特展，同学们得以系统感知中华文明的博大精深与历史脉络。互动投影、虚拟现实（VR）技术与文物三维扫描等现代科技手段，也让同学们切身感受到传统文化在当代语境下的活化路径。
随后，调研团前往侵华日军南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆。这是一次深刻的历史教育与心灵洗礼。大量翔实的档案文献、幸存者口述影像与实物证据，真实再现了那段惨痛的历史。不少同学动情地说，馆内的史实陈列让大家深刻感受到历史的沉重与和平的珍贵，出口处沐浴在夕阳下的“和平”雕塑更让同学坚信铭记历史是为了开创更美好的未来。同学们普遍认为，这段经历深化了大家对“铭记历史、珍爱和平”全球性议题的理解。
在南京的第二天，调研团抵达中山陵，瞻仰中国近代民主革命先行者孙中山先生的陵寝。坐落于紫金山麓的中山陵气势恢宏，其建筑布局蕴含着“天下为公”的理念，也体现了中西合璧的设计智慧。在此次活动中，同学们深入了解了孙中山先生的革命思想、历史功绩及其对中国现代化进程的深远影响。
调研的最后一站转向现代发展与古城保护并重的苏州。作为国家历史文化名城与现代化典范城市，苏州在古城保护与城市发展之间的平衡之道备受关注。调研团重点参访了苏州市规划展示馆。通过沙盘模型、多媒体演示和互动体验，同学们系统了解了苏州“古城复兴、新城引领”的双轮驱动发展模式。从“水陆并行、河街相邻”的古城格局保护，到工业园区“产城融合”的国际化新城建设，苏州在空间规划与社会治理方面的精细化治理实践令师生们赞叹不已。
此次为期三天的调研，用实地游览和现场教学相结合的方式，为中外学子提供了一次难得的深度学习体验。同学们在行走中不仅感知了中国历史的厚重与现代发展的活力，更对文化遗产的传承保护、和平理念的全球意义以及城市治理的中国实践有了更为直观和深刻的认识。大家纷纷表示，此次调研收获远超课堂所学，期待未来能将所见所思融入学业与国际交流之中。
学生感言
The field survey to Nanjing and Suzhou was a highly informative and meaningful experience for me. At the Nanjing Museum, the diverse permanent and temporary exhibitions, including those focused on traditional Chinese colors, lacquerware and the War of Resistance deepened my appreciation for China’s cultural heritage and historical memory. The visit to the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders was emotionally impactful and once again reminded me of the importance of remembering history in order to cherish peace and work toward a better future. In Suzhou, seeing the impressive scale of urban development at the City Planning Exhibition Hall left me in awe, demonstrating both China’s rapid modernization and its commitment to preserving cultural identity. Overall, the trip broadened my understanding of the connections between historical memory, cultural traditions, and contemporary urban development in China. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn outside the classroom in addition to the normal curriculum and I am looking forward to the next field survey.

The trip we took to Nanjing and Suzhou this past weekend was a historically and culturally enriching trip for me. It was a well thought out plan that balanced historical learning alongside cultural experiences. We got to deepen our historical knowledge at places such as the Nanjing Museum, the Nanjing Massacre Memorial and the Sun Yat Sen Mausoleum, and the Suzhou City Planning Museum. Culturally enriching experiences also presented itself throughout the trip in the local cuisine we sampled, admiring the traditional attires people dressed up in, appreciating the well-preserved ancient architecture, as well as enjoying the sounds of different traditional Chinese instruments.
The most memorable site for me was the Nanjing Massacre Memorial due to the deep emotional impact it had on me. Before even entering the memorial, I already had tears in my eyes from seeing the statues by the entrance and learning about the horrors that occurred during the massacre only made me despair at the total lack of humanity in this atrocious event in history. However, as we finished up at the memorial, there was a beautiful sunset that bathed the statue of Peace in soft golden tones. It made me reflect about how despite these dark days in history, there is still hope as these events serve as reminders for humanity to never repeat this.
Overall, I gained a lot during this trip and I’m very grateful for the efforts put in to organize it. I also look forward to participating in more trips in the future.

The three-day field trip to Suzhou and Nanjing was both educational and emotionally impactful. In Suzhou, we explored the city’s infrastructure and cultural heritage, gaining insights into its urban development and preservation of traditional elements. The city’s calm and aesthetic environment left a strong impression on me. In contrast, Nanjing appeared far more dynamic and fast-paced compared to Hangzhou. Visiting the Nanjing Memorial Hall was a deeply moving experience; I felt a strong emotional response while learning about the tragic events of 1937 caused by the Japanese invasion. The sorrow and sense of loss I felt reminded me of the Khojaly genocide, creating a personal connection to the historical suffering. Despite the limited time in Nanjing, the overall trip was enriching and well-organized. Additionally, I greatly enjoyed tasting a variety of Chinese dishes throughout the journey. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to participate in this memorable field trip.

The field trip we embarked on wasn't just a normal trip for me, as I came to the realisation that exposure is a prerequisite needed for cognitive and physical growth, and also changes the perspective of how one views the world. The beauty of the roads from Hangzhou to Nanjing made it effortlessly safe to travel. Seeing how Chinese people invest in their history preservation, showed how the nation is rooted in teaching and showing it's history to the future generations through state of the art preservation eg the projectors and the VR which showed the history of China at Nanjing museum. Learning of history makes us understand the past, our visit at the Nanjing massacre museum made me learn about the Japanese invasion of China and the atrocities it committed to the Chinese people, and how that led to national movements, also the architectural designs made at the Nanjing massacre museum are just too beautiful to ignore. The journey up to the Sun Yat- sen mausoleum was a physical exercise on its own. The mausoleum made me wonder how the Chinese people were civilised in the early 20th century such that they build such an intricate thing up a mountain and it still exists till date.
Suzhou, it is a city of happiness indeed. The night life is just wonderful from the lights to the skycrappers which at night will be glowing, the business of the metro train even at late night it was just a nice experience and also the water display which occurred at night in front of the Suzhou Plaza Mall. The Suzhou Urban Planning Center enlightened us on the history of the city and how it runs it's economy and also they showed us the replica of the city which showed the amount of investment made by the government in urbanising the city and also service delivery. Therefore the exposure I experienced on this 3 day trip made me want to learn more such that I can take the brilliant ideas and lessons back home and develop Zimbabwe.

This weekend journey allowed us to know two different perspectives of Chinese history: resistance and governance. The visit to Nanjing and its museums showed us the hard steps that the country has given in order to reach to the point where it is today. All of these positive and though moments have contributed to the Chinese highly rich culture, art, social, economical and political organization that we see nowadays.
Having the opportunity of visiting Memorial Hall in commemoration to the victims of the Nanjing Massacre was especially incredible and sensitive. The main hall where the faces of the victims (I cannot be sure if all of them, but it seems like) is a strong message to Chinese people and to the rest of the world about the importance of memories. Victims are not just a number, they were people, with love beings, with dreams, and looking at their faces and their names is an excellent way to say “we don’t forget you and we will never do”.
My final words are dedicated to Suzhou city, which has been the most beautiful place I have been to in the few months since I arrived to China.

Our group trip to Nanjing and Suzhou was amazing. in Nanjing, we saw many old treasures at the museum. The Massacre Memorial was very sad but important to see. we also climed the big stairs at the Sun Yat-Sen mausoleum. In Suzhou, we saw the modern city plans. then we visited the old street by canal, which was very beautiful. at night, the water and light show at the lake was a fantastic end to our day. We captured countless good pictures, from solemn reflections at the memorial to joyful group shots. this journey was not just a tour but a deeply enriching cultural immersion i would highly recommend.
