What is happening to the overseas Chinese in all countries as the new pneumonia epidemic spreads all over the world? China Overseas Chinese Network (ID: qiaowangzhongguo) specially launched a series of "Overseas Stays" series of manuscripts, telling the story of the "war epidemic" left by overseas Chinese. In this issue, Wu Xiaohong, an expatriate teacher of Pakse Overseas Chinese Public School in Laos, wrote a letter to students about his life at home.

  Dear children:

  howare you guys? First of all, I wish you health and happiness, and wish your family happiness and peace!

  We have been separated for a month and a day. In this unprecedented holiday, are you as young as your mood? As the new coronavirus epidemic rages across the world, the days of returning to school have to be postponed again. I want to be disappointed not only by the teacher, but also those of you who are looking forward to returning to campus.

  Although the study time in school is not long this semester, the teacher's progress in the teaching of Chinese in the first grade has not fallen. The four texts including "New Year" and "Not the Great Wall is not a good man" have been completed. I still want to remind you to pay more attention to reading the text emotionally, not just to pronounce quasi-characters. Also remember to practice every day, the way is "reading a book a hundred times, its meaning is self-evident."

  This epidemic is fierce and the holiday is too sudden. You should have finished writing all the Chinese assignments for you. Let me tell you, the teacher is not idle, he is busy reading and charging every day, he also writes homework and submits his homework. But even if you schedule your time every day, you still ca n’t help but think of you, what you look like when you study hard, and you make fun when you are naughty and mischievous. The longer the vacation time, the deeper this miss.

  Every morning during the morning exercise, the tall acacia tree covered me like a big umbrella, and the brightest scenery on campus was the clusters of phoenix flowers that bent the branches. Quiet campus, vigorous and tall trees, colorful flowers, verdant grass, birds singing, floral fragrance. There is not enough in the ointment and you are missing.

  I have always felt that the campus of Pakse Overseas Chinese School is the most beautiful, with blue sky and white clouds in the daytime, bright sunshine, sparse moon stars at night, and shining stars. The classrooms are arranged in a rectangular shape. Flowers and trees are arranged on both sides, and a basketball court in the middle is square and square. It is clean and tidy. At the flag stand in the garden, the national flags of China and Laos fluttered in the wind. The flowers and plants planted in the classes next to the drain in front of the classroom were splendidly watered by the uncle and aunt, the school worker, and they splendidly bloomed flowers.

  The teacher seemed to see you chatting on the bench again, playing in the shade of trees, running on the court, chasing in the corridor, reading in the classroom ... a thunder, a joyful rain, the dry season is coming to an end, with the rainy season coming, the sky is blue Bluer, greener grass, and brighter flowers. When the epidemic is over, a garden-like campus will be presented to you.

  In the past years, the first holiday in April was the Qingming holiday, so you are not unfamiliar with the solar term of Qingming, and I am afraid that few students know about Gu Yu's solar term. But if you talk about "Cangjie Making Characters", you should have an impression, because the teacher told you this legend. Now tell you the story of Gu Yu Festival.

  According to the records of "Huainanzi", after the success of Cangjie's character creation, the Yellow Emperor called all the subjects in the late spring and early summer to study him. On this day, an unusual rain fell and countless grains of rice fell. Name this day Gu Yu, this is the origin of Gu Yu's solar terms.

  In 2010, in order to promote the equal use and cultural diversity of the six official languages ​​of Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, etc., the United Nations announced the launch of the United Nations Language Day, in which "Chinese Day" is set in China's "Gu Yu" On this day, its purpose is to commemorate the contribution of Cang Jie, the ancestor of Chinese writing, to the creation of Chinese characters.

  There is still a lot of knowledge about "Gu Yu" solar terms, and I will tell you one by one when you return to the school. Seeing this, I think you should understand why the teacher chose to write to you today.

  The new crown pneumonia epidemic hit the world. The benevolent and kind-hearted Chinese people, while saving themselves, have not forgotten to lend a helping hand to other countries.

  China and Laos are linked by mountains and rivers, and help each other. Less than a week after the outbreak of the Laotian epidemic, China sent an anti-epidemic medical expert team and brought anti-epidemic materials to Laos, with footprints in Laos' north and south provinces and important cities.

  Chinese is the most spoken language in the world. Learn Chinese well and friends all over the world. Our school is the oldest bilingual Chinese-Lao bilingual school in the history of Laos. Chinese classes are offered from small classes in kindergarten to the third grade of high school. The older generation of overseas Chinese leaders and overseas Chinese have contributed money to create such a superior learning environment for us. The board of directors, the board of directors of the Overseas Chinese Public School and the school leaders have worked together to create such a strong Chinese learning atmosphere. China has sent such a strong Chinese language teaching force. What reason do we have to work hard to learn Chinese? "If you are ambitious, things are done", the teacher believes that you have always been the best! Your Chinese dream will be realized!

  There are no new cases in Laos for 7 consecutive days. As long as we respond to the national call, we continue to prevent epidemics at home, wash our hands frequently, do not go out, and do not gather. Come on, children!

  May the epidemic in Laos end soon, and look forward to the day when we meet again! Children, I am waiting for you in the beautiful Chinese class!

  Protect love firmly!
