當(dāng)一個(gè)在中國(guó)生活了25年的老外獲悉在南京的郊區(qū)將建一個(gè)國(guó)際村時(shí)會(huì)有什么樣的反應(yīng)?興奮!受到這種情緒的感染,10月19日,我們歸派國(guó)際村團(tuán)隊(duì)專赴拜訪了這個(gè)叫賀福(Frank Hossack )的外國(guó)人和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)。
賀福,F(xiàn)rank Hossack ,一個(gè)促進(jìn)東西方文化交流的媒體人,江蘇杰出國(guó)際友人,南京公共外交協(xié)會(huì)梧桐獎(jiǎng)最佳文化使者,從蘇格蘭來(lái)到中國(guó)已25年。在南京,他主辦了《Nanjinger》免費(fèi)社區(qū)雜志,南京城市指南、創(chuàng)建Nanjinger網(wǎng)站,制作膾炙人口的視頻,給了所有外國(guó)讀者一個(gè)了解中國(guó)文化的窗口,也讓中國(guó)人更了解西方文化。賀福和他的文化傳媒公司為中外文化的交流做著各方面的努力與探索。
賀福和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)做了很多國(guó)際村想做的事情,但歸派國(guó)際村計(jì)劃要做的遠(yuǎn)不止這些。歸派國(guó)際文旅集團(tuán)院長(zhǎng)張波,也是國(guó)際村項(xiàng)目的策劃人。他介紹稱,歸派國(guó)際村既是一個(gè)中西方人文共生的生活社區(qū),同時(shí)也是一個(gè)融合了中外商貿(mào)、文化、教育等方面交流的文旅項(xiàng)目。南京江寧的歸派國(guó)際村是歸派集團(tuán)的第一個(gè)國(guó)際村項(xiàng)目,公司目前在成都、昆明等地也在打造類似的國(guó)際村項(xiàng)目。建成后的國(guó)際村必將成為外國(guó)友人在中國(guó)落地城市的第一站,可以為其提供工作、教育、旅居、社交等方面的服務(wù)。
賀福很高興中國(guó)能有一家社會(huì)企業(yè)如此關(guān)注外國(guó)人在中國(guó)的生活。他表示南京常住的外國(guó)人有2萬(wàn)多主要生活在城市,他們也很喜歡南京周邊自然美麗的鄉(xiāng)村,旦里余國(guó)際村在環(huán)境與內(nèi)容上很有吸引力。賀福也表示他的賀福傳媒很樂(lè)意在國(guó)際村項(xiàng)目的宣傳運(yùn)營(yíng)與文化交流的資源對(duì)接上可以進(jìn)行深度的合作。
歸派集團(tuán)規(guī)劃院副院長(zhǎng)蔡常勝,《Nanjinger》雜志副主編夏蕊,市場(chǎng)部主管Angela共同參加了此次會(huì)談。

Nanjinger meets International Village
---Greepi International Village team visited Nanjing SinoConnection for further cooperation
What is reaction when a foreigner who has lived in China for 25 years learned there will build an international village in the outskirts of Nanjing? Excited! Affected by this sentiment, on October 19th, our International Village team visited a foreigner named Frank Hossack and his team.
He Fu, Frank Hossack, a media professional who tried to promote cultural exchange between the east and west and came to China from Scotland for 25 years. He got awards of the “Jiangsu Outstanding International friend” and the best cultural ambassadors of “Wutong Nanjing Public Diplomacy Association Award” . In Nanjing, he hosts a free community magazine “Nanjinger” and compiles Nanjing city guides, creating Nanjinger website and making popular video. He provides a window for foreigners to understand Chinese culture a, and also let Chinese people know more about western culture. He and his SinoConnection have made great efforts and explorations on the exchanges between Chinese and foreign culture.
Frank and his team have done many things the same as what International Villages want to do, but for International Village, it is far more than that. Zhang bo, founder of Greepi International, is also the mastermind of the International Village project. He said that Greepi International Village is a living community of Chinese and western cultural symbiosis, as well as a cultural tourism project that integrates different aspects of trade, culture and education. The Greepi International Village in Nanjing Jiangning District is the first international village project of the group, and the company is building similar international village projects in chengdu and kunming. The completed international village will be the first stop for foreign friends arriving those cities. It can provide services for work, education, hostel and social services.
Frank was delighted that there is a social enterprise that focused on the lives of foreigners in China. He said the nanjing foreign resident are more than 20000 mainly live in the city, and they also love natural beautiful countryside. Danliyu International Village is very attractive in the environment and the content.
