唱着地道的山歌，说着纯正的贵州普通话，抖音账号拥有43万粉丝的账号主人不是一名中国人，而是一名来自卢旺达的外国留学生，他的中文名字叫黄子铭。

圆梦贵州：如愿来中国学习中文

黄子铭学习中文已六年有余，其间他在贵州省贵阳市度过了三年时光。其实这并不是黄子铭第一次来中国，早在2016年参加高中生“汉语桥”比赛的时候，他就已经和中国结缘。中国丰厚的文化底蕴、丰富多彩的中华美食以及中国人的热情好客，在他心中埋下了来华留学的“种子”。2018年高中毕业后，他凭借优异的成绩获得卢旺达孔子学院推荐来华留学的名额，如愿来到中国。这让他欣喜不已。

2019年9月，他来到贵州，开始了与贵州的不解之缘。

走遍贵州：领略当地风土人情

谈到对贵州的最初印象，黄子铭说：“来到贵州是在2019年9月底。飞机落地时，已是深夜，当时我脑子里一片空白，还有些紧张。到学校稳定下来后，感觉周围的一切都是那么新鲜。”

适应学校生活后，他开始走出校门，接触当地美食，领略贵州的风土人情。

黄子铭第一站去了贵阳地标性建筑——甲秀楼。通过参观甲秀楼，他不仅了解到其背后的历史，也加深了对贵阳文化的认识。之后，他也去了贵阳市里的花溪湿地公园十里河滩等景点。同时，他的旅行足迹也逐渐向贵阳周边的城市拓展。他说：“令我感触最深的城市是遵义市。”他参观了遵义会议纪念馆，了解了遵义会议背后的故事，感受到中国红军长征的艰难，更是被红军那种不畏艰难的精神所感动。

神秘的贵州大地不仅有巧夺天工的自然最观，还孕育着深厚的历史文化，这些都深深吸引着黄子铭。

玩转抖音：做贵州形象宣传大使

抖音账号“小黑炭618”拥有43.4万粉丝，共有191条作品，这个账号的主人正是黄子铭。

“在卢旺达时我就接触过直播，对网络新媒体很熟悉。来到贵州以后，发现网络新媒体形式截然不同，所以在运营抖音账号期间，我也在不断学习，不断提高自己的网络技能。”出于好学，他将在贵州的见闻和感受制作成视频，让更多的人领略到贵州独有的风土人情，促进了不同文化的融合，推动了文化多元化发展。在运营抖音的过程中，黄子铭也成了贵州旅游美食的宣传大使。

吃遍贵州：做贵州美食的品鉴官

“家人们，吃饭喽！”这是黄子铭在展示贵州美食的视频中常说的一句话。

被称为云贵川人民的“命根子”的折耳根是他短视频中的“常客”，现已成为他食谱中的必备菜品。平日里，黄子铭也喜欢做饭，在做饭的过程中，他对贵州饮食文化的认识更加深刻。第一次接触折耳根时，黄子铭觉得难以接受，但是在朋友的影响下，他逐渐了解到折耳根对身体有好处，慢慢地接受了这个菜。黄子铭在短视频中向大家展示了各式各样的贵州美食，例如霉豆腐拌椿菜、折耳根炒腊肉、酸菜豆米汤、酸汤鱼，等等。

“在学做菜的过程中，我体会到了贵州美食的多样性，让我更加离不开贵州了。”

如今，黄子鸣即将毕业，他已经在中国生活多年，十分不舍。在谈到未来规划时，黄子铭说：“毕业后还要继续读研和读博呢！”他希望可以繼续学习汉语和中国文化，为在卢旺达的家人和同胞们介绍真实的中国后并且希望学成归国后能够用在中国学到的本领去服务自己的祖国。
