Overseas War Epidemics | One day, students will introduce Angkor Wat in pure Chinese

  Author: He Ping

  The Siem Reap Public Sun Yat-sen School in Cambodia that I am teaching is only more than ten kilometers away from the Angkor Wat, a place of historical interest in Cambodia.

  With the spread of the epidemic, greetings and love from relatives and friends flooded in. Although the school is closed, work cannot be stopped. So, after discussing with the principal, I immediately started the anti-epidemic model of "Chinese experience + Cambodian characteristics" at the school with two teaching aid partners.

  In teaching, we download software, work in groups, and do courseware. We often discuss how to import texts, what questions to ask, the arrangement of assignments, record audio over and over again, and adjust the teaching in time according to the learning effect of students and feedback from parents content.

  When I go back to the dormitory at 6 o'clock every day, I will watch the sunset on the roof and relax.

  In the eyes of the poet, the setting sun is the loneliness of "the broken heart is on the horizon", and it is the poignant beauty of "Xiao Xiao's yellow leaves closed the window, contemplating the past and setting up the sun." However, Cambodia's sunset is magnificent, and the sky is decorated like the New Year, and even in the evening, it is "enthusiastic".

  In my spare time, I will share the knowledge of epidemic prevention online, teach students to sing, draw, and make handicrafts, and introduce them to the food and attractions of Guangxi. The students also expressed their love for seeing the aerial view of Hezhou.

  I also asked my classmates who participated in the "Overseas Chinese Youth Roots Journey" to share the results of their trip to Guangxi, which aroused their heated discussions: Chinese Kung Fu, subway, all-you-can-eat supermarkets, Sanjiang's hundred banquets... Said to learn Chinese well and study in China.

  I firmly believe that through continuous hard work, students will definitely introduce Siem Reap to the world in pure Chinese and introduce Cambodia’s national treasure, Angkor Wat.

  At this moment, my teaching aid partners and I are fighting the epidemic together with the Cambodian people. The rainy season in Cambodia is coming. I believe that the virus will dissipate in a short time, and the people of China and Cambodia will definitely smile with victory.
