“武汉跟俄罗斯相隔这么遥远，一百年前居然有这么密切的联系！”这一发现令俄罗斯卫星通讯社记者伊利亚倍感意外。他第一次来到“一带一路”重要节点城市武汉，参加中国中央广播电视总台英语环球节目中心（CGTN）和长江国际传播中心（CICC）的中外记者联合报道。

“A hundred years ago, Wuhan actually had such a close connection with Russia!” declared Ilia, the reporter from the Russian Sputnik News Agency, who came to Wuhan for the first time following the "Belt and Road" node city interview group.

站在122年前，由俄国茶商巴诺夫兄弟修建的巴公房子前，亲眼看到一个多世纪前俄商在武汉经济文化生活的历史见证，他对长江国际传播中心记者说：“这真是太令人惊讶了！”伊利亚忍不住在咖啡台的留言册上写下一句“俄罗斯卫星通讯社记者来过此地”，并画上了一只标志性的小熊，表达他对这座见证了中俄文化交流的建筑的敬意和感激。

同样历经百年岁月，始建于1902年的李凡诺夫公馆，是俄罗斯富商李凡洛夫在汉经营茶叶生意时的住所。伊利亚说，看到这个房子，一种熟悉感扑面而来，因为在俄罗斯的南部地区，这种风格的建筑随处可见。他不禁感叹，一百年前居然有这么多俄罗斯商人生活在武汉！

The Livanov Mansion, built in 1902, was the residence of the wealthy Russian businessman Livanov when he ran the tea business in Wuhan. The hundred-year house brought Ilia a sense of familiarity as the style is ubiquitous in the southern part of Russia. He could not help but sigh that there were so many Russian businessmen living in Wuhan a hundred years ago!

武汉，一个遍布美食和有历史有故事的魅力城市

路旁堆满西瓜的货车，街边乘凉聊天的老头们，吆喝莲子菱角的小贩，都被俄罗斯国际新闻通讯社驻京记者安娜一一收入镜头。

在安娜眼里，武汉是一个充满生活气息中国南方城市。她说以前由于工作关系来过武汉，但这一次的采访给了她不一样的体验，她第一次了解到一百年前的武汉曾经是中国的商贸重镇。

In Anna's eyes, Wuhan is a city full of life in southern China. She said that she had been to Wuhan before because of her work, but this interview trip gave her a different impression. For the first time she learned that Wuhan was once a major commercial town in China a hundred years ago.

在江滩公园万里茶道文化园，两位俄罗斯记者兴奋地与一组组雕塑合影。塑像展示了中、蒙、俄三国的茶叶贸易历史。十九世纪中叶，茶叶从汉口出发，跨越大河、荒原、沙漠，到达俄罗斯的莫斯科和圣彼得堡。

In the Tea Route Cultural Park at the Riverside Park, two Russian journalists took photos with a group of sculptures excitedly. The statues showcase the history of the tea trade in China, Mongolia and Russia. In the middle of the 19th century, tea embarked on a journey from Hankou and arrived in Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russia after crossing the big rivers, wasteland and deserts.

两位俄罗斯记者发现了其中的俄罗斯元素，他们告诉长江国际传播中心记者，这尊人像戴着俄罗斯妇女最常戴的裘皮帽，那尊人像有着俄罗斯男人标志性的大胡子，而小女孩手中的套娃意味着母亲的孩子。武汉，真是一个遍布美食和有历史、有故事的魅力城市。
