This should be the first time I write something for a single student。It would be good to lead a group of international students in the country before，You might as well go to Botswana to volunteer，I have also made friends with many people from all over the world、Brothers and sisters who still keep in touch。Compare with them，I have only known each other for a few months with this big boy from Malawi，And due to my work location transfer to the capital Lilongwe，The two of us said goodbye in advance while we were still in office。Although we still have a chance to meet again，But while this friendship and the honor he won are still there，I decided I should write something。
His name isMoses Dausi，Chinese name is Li Lei。This is the name given by the Chinese teacher who taught him before。Speak as he says，The teacher hopes he can be ambitious，Be brave and determined on the road to chasing your dreams。As for why the surname is Li instead of surnameOthers，Given that the Chinese teacher’s most famous students are all named Li，We secretly suspect that she is responsible forThe surname "Li" has a special obsession. one way or another,Moses seems to like this Chinese name very much，When you first met me，Introduce yourself fluently，Although there is still a hint of youthfulness w88 casinounique to college students。
Before I knew him, heOnlyOne and a half years of Chinese learning experience, but due to his heavy workload，We didn’t meet many times in the beginning，He also failed to leave a good impression on me immediately of being punctual and hardworking。actually，In May this yearOn the eve of the HSK exam, who is the student I am most optimistic aboutAlsoA person who can come to me for unannounced tutoring seven days a weekBlessing。Result after a certain weekend，Blessing suddenly disappeared without a trace，Until Moses brought the news that he was suffering from malaria。Sorry，I conveyed Blessing’s learning methods and unremitting fighting spirit to Moses，Then it seemedInspire了Moses’ fighting spirit，Start making time to come to me for tutoring every day like Blessing. Hard workThere is always something to gain, after studying Chinese for one and a half years,MoseSmoothlyPassedHSK Level 4 test.
And his goal obviously does not stop there。In the coming June“Chinese Bridge”In the game, heUseFluent in Chinese and Tai Chi sword、Tai Chi fan performance once again challenges the championship title。Several of our teachers participated in the guidance throughout the process, help him improve his abilities in all aspects. After fierce competition,Moses finally won, obtained2College students in Malawi in 2019"Chinese Bridge" champion,Submitted a landmark answer sheet for his nearly two years of Chinese learning。
The ecstasy after winning the championship did not last long,Moses fell into a new reality problem。Soon to represent MalawiCollege studentGo to China to participate“Chinese Bridge”Championship Final，But he doesn’t have a passport，No visa，No experience abroad。At this time II just realized that I will go to China to compete，Moses faces considerable difficulties. IUnderstoodMoses has always relied on his uncle for support in his studies,himLive next to the school for monthly rentIn a low-rent house for 160 yuan，I only go back to my hometown in the countryside several w88 online live casinohundred kilometers away twice a year。His uncle can only send him money after his salary is paid at the end of the month，He even needs to sell some daily necessities around him to pay the tuition before the registration day。I don’t have ithesitate,selfAdd money to help him apply for a passport、Applying for a visa，Guide him how to go abroad for the first time，Coming to China to compete. IKnow，In a country where many people are still struggling to have enough food and clothing，I am not the first teacher to pay for students’ expenses out of his own pocket，It shouldn’t be the last one。
Despite twists and turns,Moses finally set foot on Chinese soil。He before leaving，I installed WeChat early and said goodbye to me，Also learned that I am about to leave his teaching point and be transferred to the capital。By chance，The hometown he returned to during the holidays happened to be in the countryside not far from the capital，So after he came back from China，The dean and I took a ride to Moses’ house for a home visit。The dusty yellow land and the old buildings come into view，Let us feel like we have returned to the rural life decades ago。And when we really entered his house，After seeing his smiling relatives，We are very relieved。Because it was just a few days before the home visit，We are still worried about whether it will disturb ushimFamily life, will it be possibleMoses doesn’t want us to see his difficult conditions。Moses and his family couldn’t stop thanking us，It makes us a little embarrassed。
UnfortunatelyThe day of the home visitThere was a power outage in the whole village, in a dark room, after asking for permission，I turned on the flash and recorded itWords of thanks from Moses’ mother and uncle.Moses’s parents have been divorced for many years, and they have been relying mainly on their uncleFundingReading and going to school。This time his newspaper appearance and trip to China made him the talk of the whole village。In the weak light中，Moses’ family members looked piously and solemnly at my mobile phone camera，w88 sports bettingTelling about Moses’ growing up experience in Chichewa and English，Thanks for everything we did for him。We were also busy handing over the cultural shirts and books we brought as gifts，One sideEncouragementHe continues to study Chinese，Strive for the opportunity to study in China. Because of the long distance,Home visitIt lasted about a quarter of an hour, and we had to talk toMThe oses family said goodbye in a hurry.
The return trip from this home visit,Moses will also follow our ride back to the capital early，Then take the long-distance bus back to school in Zomba。When I offered to help him pack his luggage，He smiled shyly，Pushing open the door to his bedroom。atMosesIn the bedroom，I saw his stroller when he was two years old，Bicycle when I was six years old，The game console I wore when I was twelve and the school uniform I wore last year。
"Teacher，Seventy thousand kwacha...can I pay you back fifty thousand first this time？”When he got into our car，After driving a few miles out of my hometown，Moses suddenly asked timidly。Of course I said no problem, because after many experiences, I believe in his character.Moses smiled sheepishly and putParticipateDuring the “Chinese Bridge” CompetitionThe small jar of tea stuffed back from China was given to me，He also gestured with his fingers，He knows that my leader may not be happy to see me accept his hard-earned gift。I smiled too，Take the can of tea from his hand，Hold tightly in your hands。
On the way back，I’ve been thinking，He is like this，Will you meet me somewhere in China?？I don’t know。I hope you are youngMoses can through personal struggle，Keep your destiny firmly in your hands。ifOne day I will be with youMosesMeet in China，I will write the songs I wrote in Malawi，Sing to him in my hometown:

Experience of going abroad worth cherishing for a lifetime
I said it’s okay I am proud You are promising
Please believe My home Welcome”
