It was the fall of 1999. Yes, the university just started. In mid-September, the college held a welcome meeting after the military training. It seemed to be in the comprehensive building. If I don’t recall it carefully, I will forget more points. How did the big classroom on the west side of the first floor be opened? I remembered that the students introduced themselves. It was the college’s welcome meeting as a whole. Freshmen from both majors participated. There were about 100 students in three classes and 30 students in our class. So far, I remembered one person’s self-introduction. He said that he was diligent and good at studying, so it was called diligent study. I remember this, I have never forgotten it, I just want to laugh when I think about it, but others really don’t remember it. The
conference lasted for more than two hours, and then the meeting ended. I seemed to be sitting in the front row. Because there were some props, a few of us girls helped to clean up. At this time, Teacher Li called my name and I answered the teacher timidly. I didn’t know that Teacher Li would be the counselor who accompanied me for four years in college. I didn’t know how to answer the conversation. He asked me about my family and study situation, and I briefly replied to him, "You must know that I didn’t speak Mandarin at that time."
Unexpectedly, this conversation changed my life.
Because, Teacher Li taught me so many abilities in four years of college. It's not knowledge, it's ability.
