We leave our homeland, carrying dreams and aspirations, hoping to establish roots in Germany—only to find that identity becomes an invisible barrier, and the glass ceiling in the workplace is harder to break than we imagined.

我们离开故土，怀揣梦想，渴望在德国扎根，却发现身份成了一道无形的屏障，职场的天花板变得难以撼动。

We hope to bridge China and Germany with our knowledge and experience, yet in a rapidly changing social environment, we often feel powerless.

我们希望凭借所学与经验，架起连接中德的桥梁，却在瞬息万变的社会环境中屡感无力。

We choose, voluntarily or involuntarily, to start a new life in Germany, yet every time we return home, we find ourselves speechless in the face of the expectations and longings of our aging family members.

我们主动或被动地选择在德国展开新生活，却在每次回国时，面对日渐年长的家人那些期待与渴望无言以对。

We are well aware of the alienation brought by social atomization, yet we also experience firsthand how difficult it is to integrate into society and find like-minded individuals in a foreign land.

我们深知社会原子化带来的冷漠，却也体会到，在异国他乡融入社会、找到志同道合的人，远比想象中艰难。

Over the past three years, countless stories of “We” have been heard, expressed, remembered, and reflected at 706 Berlin....

过去三年多，706 柏林里无数个“我们”的故事被聆听、被诉说、被记录、被思考...

The uncertainty of arriving in a new place, the joy of finding resonance, the late nights obsessively exploring unfinished questions—here, they all intersect, echo, and become imprints of our time.

那些初来乍到的忐忑，那些找到共鸣的喜悦，那些执着探讨未竟问题的深夜——在这里，它们交汇、回响，成为彼此时代的印记。

What defines a good era? What makes a bad one? Perhaps there is no definitive answer. But through every encounter, every conversation, and every moment spent together, we try to understand, to connect, and to seek answers of our own.

什么是好的时代？什么是坏的时代？或许，我们无法给出一个标准答案。但在一次次相遇、一次次对话、一次次共度的时光里，我们试图理解、试图连接、试图找到属于我们的答案。

706Berlin e. V. is honored to collaborate with the Berlin Contemporary China Network (BCCN) to invite Professor Xiang Biao, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, to join us in a conversation about our distance from the present time.

706 柏林协会很荣幸与 Berlin Contemporary China Network (BCCN) 合作，并邀请马克斯·普朗克社会人类学研究所所长项飙教授，与我们一起探讨——我们与时代的距离。

This event will be interactive. During registering, you need to submit Questions or Topics that you would like to discuss with Professor Xiang. Due to time constraints, we may not be able to address all but will consolidate related or similar ones to ensure a more focused discussion.

本次活动将以互动对谈的形式展开。参与者需要在报名时提交希望与项飙教授讨论的问题或话题。由于时间有限，我们可能无法涵盖所有提问，但会整合相关或相似的问题，以确保讨论更加聚焦。

In order to make the discussion more focused, we encourage you to prioritize topics related to your study, life or migration experience in China, and try to avoid questions that are too macro (e.g. “How do you see the future of China-EU relations?”). We look forward to thinking and dialoging with you.

为了让交流更有针对性，我们鼓励大家优先提出与在德华人学习、生活或移民经历相关的话题，尽量避免过于宏观的问题（如“如何看待未来的中欧关系？”）。期待与你一起共同思考、对话。
