This should be the first time I have written something for a single student. Whether I was leading international student groups in China or volunteering in Botswana, I also made friends with many brothers and sisters from all over the world who have been in touch with each other.
His name isMoses Dausi, Chinese name is Li Lei. This is the name given to him by the Chinese teacher who taught him before。According to his words, the teacher hopes that w88 can have great ambitions and be brave and firm in the pursuit of his dreams. As for why the surname Li but not the surnameOther, given that the Chinese teacher's several proud students were all surnamed Li, we privately suspect that it was her rightThe surname "Li" has a special obsession. one way or another,Moses seems to like this Chinese name very much. When I first met me, I introduced myself fluently, although it still has a hint of the unique youth of college students.
Before I met him, w88OnlyOne and a half years of Chinese learning experience, but because of his heavy schoolwork，We didn't meet at first, and w88 didn't leave me the impression of being punctual and hardworking as soon as possible. Actually, that time in May this yearOn the eve of HSK exam, the student I am most optimistic about isIn additionOne who can come to me for tutoring for seven days a weekBlessing. As a result, after one weekend, Blessing suddenly disappeared without knowing where to go until Moses brought news that w88 was suffering from malaria.Stimulate了Moses' fighting spirit began to squeeze out time to ask me for tutoring every day like Blessing. Diligent and dedicatedThere is always a harvest, after learning Chinese for a year and a half,MoseSmoothPassedHSK CET-4 Examination.
And his goal obviously did not stop there. In the following June“Chinese Bridge”In the game, w88用Fluent Chinese, Tai Chi sword and Tai Chi fan performances once again launched an impact on the champion's crown. Several of our teachers participated in the guidance throughout the process, help him improve his abilities in all aspects. After fierce competition,Moses wins in the end, obtained2019 Malawi University StudentChampion of "Chinese Bridge",Sent a milestone answer to his Chinese studies in the past two years.
The ecstasy after winning the championship did not last long,Moses fell into a new real-life problem. It's about to represent MalawiCollege StudentGo to China to participate“Chinese Bridge”Champion final, but w88 does not have a passport, no visa, and no experience in going abroad.At this time II realized that I went to China to participate，Moses faces considerable difficulties. ILearnMoses's journey of studying has always been supported by his uncle, w88Living next to the school monthly rentIn the low-rent housing worth 160 yuan, I only go back to my hometown in the countryside twice a year, a few hundred kilometers away. His uncle can only send him money after paying his salary at the end of the month, and w88 even needs to sell some daily necessities around him to pay the tuition before the registration date.I don'tHesitant, myselfAdd money to help him apply for a passport、Apply for a visa, guide him on how to go abroad for the first time and participate in the competition in China. IKnow，In such a country where many people are still working hard for food and clothing, I am not the first teacher to pay for my students out of my own pocket, and I probably won’t be the last one.
Despite the twists and turns,Moses finally set foot on China's land. Before leaving, w88 installed WeChat early and said goodbye to me, and also learned that I was about to leave the teaching point where he was transferred to the capital.他Will the life of a family member beMoses doesn't want us to see his financial difficulties。Moses and my family kept thanking us, which made us feel a little embarrassed.
UnfortunateThe day of home visitThe whole village has lost power, and in the dark room, after obtaining consent，I turned on the flash and recordedMoses's words of thanks from mother and uncle.MosesThe parents divorced for many years and have been relying mainly on their uncleFundedStudy and go to school. This time his newspaper and trip to China made him a topic of discussion for the whole village.中，Moses' family looked at my cell phone camera devoutly and seriously, telling Moses's growth in Chichewa and English, thanking us for everything we did for him. We are also busy handing over the cultural shirts and books we brought as giftsEncouragew88 continues to study Chinese，Strive to have the opportunity to study in China. Because the journey is long,Home visitIt lasted for about a quarter of an hour, we had to go withMosesThe family said goodbye in a hurry.
The return of this home visit,Moses will also follow our free bike to return to the capital early, and then take a long-distance bus back to the school in Songba. When I asked to help him prepare his luggage, w88 smiled shyly and pushed open the door of his bedroom.在MosesIn the bedroom，I saw his stroller when w88 was two years old, his bike when w88 was six years old, his game console when w88 was twelve years old and his school uniform when w88 was wearing it last year.
"Teacher, 70,000 Kuacha... Can I pay you 50,000 first this time?" Moses suddenly asked timidly after he got into our car and drove out of his hometown several miles. Of course I said no problem, because after many experiences, I believe in his character.Moses smiled embarrassedly, putAttendWhen the "Chinese Bridge" competitionA small can of tea brought back from China was stuffed to me, and he gestured with his fingers. He knew that my leader might not be happy to see me accept his hard-earned gift. I also smiled, took the can of tea from his hand, and held it tightly in my own hand.
On the way back，I've been thinking，Will w88 meet me at some time and place in China? I have no idea.Moses can firmly grasp destiny in your hands through personal struggle.IfOne day I andMosesMeet in China，I will sing the song I wrote in Malawi to him in my hometown:
"w88 said thank you, come in the wind, go in the rain
Experiences of going abroad Worth cherishing for a lifetime
I said it's okay I am proud You are promising
Please believe My Home Welcome”
