科技基础能力是国家综合科技实力的重要体现，是国家创新体系的重要基石，是实现高水平科技自立自强的战略支撑。党的二十大报告提出，要加强科技基础能力建设。这是抢抓新一轮科技革命和产业变革战略机遇的战略举措。
The basic technological capabilities are a crucial manifestation of a country's comprehensive scientific and technological strength, serving as a cornerstone for the national innovation system and a strategic support for achieving high-level technological self-reliance. The 20th Party Congress report emphasized the need to strengthen the construction of technological basic capabilities, a strategic move to seize the opportunities of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation.

上海作为互联网产业的孵化要地，一直以来承载着国内外交汇碰撞科技的重要功能，当前，新一轮科技革命和产业变革加速演进，进入大科学和大融通时代。一方面，学科交叉渗透，技术汇聚融合，科技创新复杂度越来越高；另一方面，科研范式面临变革，产学研用深度融通，从创新到转化的周期大幅缩短。
Shanghai, as a vital incubator for the internet industry, has consistently played a crucial role in the convergence and collision of domestic and foreign technologies. Currently, with the accelerated evolution of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, we are entering an era of extensive scientific exploration and integration. On one hand, there is a growing complexity in interdisciplinary penetration, technological convergence, and the innovation of science and technology. On the other hand, the research paradigm is undergoing transformation, with deep integration of industry, academia, and research, significantly shortening the cycle from innovation to transformation.

Subsequently, under the guidance of miHoYo staff, the students proceeded to the conference room for a discussion. Through the staff's introduction and Q&A session, the students learned the following:

## Future Employment and Career Choices

未来就业与职业选择。通过实地参观与交流，中文系学子对于米哈游公司的发展历程、企业文化、人才培养等方面的了解都更进一步，不仅切实认识到人工智能技术在商业化场域的运用，对于自身职业规划与未来远景也有了进一步畅想。通过工作人员的介绍得知，米哈游在游戏策划等方面与中文学科有着密切关联，尤其是在游戏文化内核与系统框架建设方面，中文学科的介入对于推动人工智能应用和社会文化事业的发展起着关键性作用。
Through on-site visits and exchanges, Chinese department students gained a deeper understanding of miHoYo's development history, corporate culture, talent cultivation, and more. They not only recognized the practical application of artificial intelligence technology in commercial fields but also envisioned further possibilities for their own career planning and future prospects. The staff highlighted the close association between miHoYo and Chinese studies, particularly in areas such as game planning. The involvement of the Chinese department plays a crucial role in advancing the development of artificial intelligence applications and societal and cultural initiatives, especially in shaping the core of game culture and constructing system frameworks.

## Literary Creation and Game Development

文学创作与游戏开发。在如何利用自身特长或发挥专业优势推进产学研落地、促进技术转化方面，同学们感受到传统文学尤其叙事研究所做的训练对于互联网产品公司策划岗位来说较为对口，但对于游戏研发来说叙事侧重点的转换是应届生实际进入行业后亟待学习的。通过本次参访，同学们更深入地了解到了传统文学创作与游戏文案创作的区别：游戏文案要以互动形式承载内容，因此在日常创作过程中，一方面要精炼语言，在通顺优美的语言中展现出对接受者的吸引力；另一方面，游戏题材有偏好，偏向科幻和奇幻，但要考虑落实于实际游戏中的效果，和团队协作完成项目的可能性。游戏脚本制作与日常训练的写作既有联系也有区别。文字运用能力、想象力和广博的学识是创作者的基本素养，这三点在文学写作和游戏文案制作中是一致的。而在游戏文案的设计中，还需要同时注重文本的分段、展开方式等细节，从而保证呈现的最终效果足以抓住读者或玩家的眼球，又能够张弛有度、照顾到读者的阅读感受。此外还需要考虑创作出的文案是否适宜游戏这一载体，是否能够良好地与美术、战斗等其它环节兼容等具体环节。
Regarding how to leverage their own strengths or utilize professional advantages to advance the integration of academia, industry, and research, and promote technological transformation, students felt that the training in traditional literature, especially narrative research, aligns well with planning positions in internet product companies. However, for game development, there is a need for recent graduates to learn the transition of narrative focus after entering the industry. Through this visit, students gained a deeper understanding of the differences between traditional literary creation and game scriptwriting: game scripts need to carry content in an interactive form. Therefore, in the daily creative process, language must be refined to exhibit attractiveness to the audience within fluent and elegant expressions. On the other hand, game themes tend to lean towards science fiction and fantasy, considering the practical effects in the actual game and the feasibility of collaborative project completion with the team. Game scriptwriting is connected to and distinct from regular writing training. The fundamental qualities of authors include the use of language, imagination, and broad knowledge, which are consistent in both literary writing and game script creation. In game script design, attention must be given to details such as text segmentation and unfolding methods to ensure the final presentation captures the attention of readers or players, providing a balanced experience that caters to the audience's reading sensations. Additionally, considerations should be made regarding whether the created script is suitable for the gaming medium and whether it harmonizes well with other aspects like art and combat.

## Worldview Setting

世界观设定。米哈游是一个非常重视中国传统文化的公司，在游戏的场景设计、剧情设置中，展示中国的山水风光，融入优秀的传统文化，这也是中文系的同学们所擅长的内容。同时，在传统文化表达等方面探索的成果也提示我们把所学在媒介中进行转化、在数字化时代以新形式传播的可能。
miHoYo is a company that highly values traditional Chinese culture. In the design of game scenes and plot settings, it showcases China's landscapes, integrating excellent traditional culture—a strength of Chinese department students. Simultaneously, the outcomes of exploration in expressing traditional culture suggest the potential to transform what is learned into new forms for dissemination in the digital age.

## Discrepancies in the Experience Provided by Games and Texts

游戏和文本带给人的体验差距。很多人觉得游戏的体验更好，因为有互动性，有挑战性，让玩家身临其境。但也有人认为，文学拥有平静下看不见的激情，很多时候产生的共鸣及影响会比游戏中的“此时此刻”来得更加深远。虽然如此，却无法否认现在的年轻人更倾向在游戏中寻找快乐。所以，如何在游戏中加入文学的元素，让文学通俗化，使文学在丰富多样的形式传承下去，是值得深思的问题，也是中文系在游戏行业价值的体现。
Many people feel that the gaming experience is superior due to interactivity and challenges, immersing players in the environment. However, some argue that literature possesses unseen passion beneath its calm surface, and the resonance and impact generated often run deeper than the "here and now" moments in games. Despite this, it's undeniable that today's youth tends to seek joy in games. Therefore, how to incorporate literary elements into games, making literature more accessible and ensuring its continuation in diverse forms, is a thought-provoking issue and a reflection of the value of the Chinese department in the gaming industry.

通过此次参观走访实践活动，同学们实地感受到了米哈游公司的企业文化，了解了米哈游的内容研发流程、技术积淀和发展潜力。对中文系学子而言，通过发挥自身特长，将中文系专业优势与技术转化相结合，积极参与产学研落地，是未来发展的重要方向。同学们将在未来继续不断探索，不断创新，不断思考如何将个人擅长的领域与社会需求相契合，为产业升级贡献自己的力量。
