I never really had any memory related to Youth Days in the past 10 days. However this year, it is an exception,we were announced that there was half day off 10 minutes before the lunch break, and it is surely a surprise.
The weather report of Guilin never get it right lately, it said to be rainy till May 10, however today the sun is shinning and we had a great day.
I had a hamburger and a couple of Coke in KFC, since it is cool inside and you do not have to wait too long.Heading back to my place, and after enjoyed a movie with my roommate---Tutu, a Chinese teacher, who kept complainning about her three students:1. rich and stubborn old lady named Susan,who is over 60 years old and prepare for her art teaching courses in Beijing next month, spoke english from the begining to the end of the class;2. Scott,a handsome man around 35 and had been in the army for 10 years, graduated from Harvard University, and had learn Chinese in the U.S. for 3 years, spoke very good chinese already, never gives up any chance to talk about the politics and problems in China with Tutu;3. the new student,over 40 years from England,I forget his name, had three children and bring them all to China, who is a rich guy and drive his own car to the class. Tutu said he is the best student, since he know nothing about Chinese and everything can be taught, the point is he wear perfume, and had a overwhelming smell that makes she sick, and have to let him had two breaks for one class...
I was a good listener, so tutu going on talk about her students and what she had found about the huge culture difference between chinese and the U.S.. and some tiny little funny things happend in the class. Well,I think a man can start on a difficult language as Chinese from its 40 or even 60, he is a great man, a great in his/her YOUTH. Her students are just like our clients, each one is different and special, however we need to be patient and tend to their needs with passion, only in this way,we can make it.
