Dear Lee and Deana,
snowed in some cities near Suzhou few weeks ago. However, we
still did not touch winter’s coat in Sino-Canada. I saved your photo
of the first snow falling in Calgary in my computer, it seems so
gently and quiet, quite different from the hustle and bustle here.
Thank you for the snow you shared with me. Usually, people may
think that snow is cold and chilly. And I hope it snows, then I can
see the snow-covered landscape, for me it is pure and warm,
because it makes me think of my friends at the opposite end of the
world.
Today morning, I accidently saw this photo again I cannot help to
recall, to recall those moments our friends shared together. That
day, we had a farewell meeting. I understood you were leaving
soon. I sat there to listen and watched all those videos in
Multimedia room. We were laughing together and recalled all the
great and happy moments even some of them I was not being with
you. I did know this was one of the most unforgettable moments in
my life. But I am sorry that my mind was flying away for a short
while. At that time, I was thinking about I should join our BC group
earlier, and then I could share much more time with you. All those
moments on the videos were fantastic and touching. I felt that it
was just like a special graduation ceremony for us during that
graduation season.
dream to pursue. It is absolutely not an ending but a brand-new
beginning for all of us. This planet is really big, it is really a big
world even we have airplane can fly across the ocean and land. I
have never been abroad before; also I don't know when we will
meet next time. However, I can only provide some chicken soup
for cheering us up for this. In China, we have the vocabulary of
"Yuan fen", it can be paraphrased as "Fate” in English. Or
Perhaps this world can be small for some unknown reason, we
will have chance to meet each other in Canada one day or
somewhere on the earth.
snowy Sino-Canada, the lake scenery of Dianshan Lake, the warm
and joyful Christmas party and teachers’ and students’ happy faces.
The lake, buildings, library, gym, playground, the list goes on…every
corner is full of good memories. I forget to tell you, after you leaving,
often I hear students mentioned you and Deanna. I can feel they
really miss you even you look like so strict to them, they actually know
what you have done are good for them, for their future. Sino-Canada
is a magical place; people come here from different countries but for
one goal that is to cultivate our lovely students to be successful in life,
in society. If we see Sino-Canada as a bridge connected with foreign
teachers and Chinese students, then you must be the one we called
“soul engineer”.
It is December now, sooner or later, we probably will welcome our first
snow princess here. When she comes, I will take a photo of hers and
say hello to you.
