has a different definition of life. For Yuan Sumei, honorary academician of of the University of Hong Kong, the meaning of life lies in dedication. Compared with other academicians of the same age, Yuan Sumei only learns to write 5 characters. But when she was 82 years old, she was awarded the Honorary Fellow of the University of Hong Kong. Why did Yuan Sumei get this honor?
was born in Guangdong in 1927. Her father made a living by fishing, and her family was very poor. Later, because of the war, my father came to Hong Kong with his family. Yuan Sumei's mother passed away very early. After she came to Hong Kong, for a living, her father sold fish in a vegetable market. In Hong Kong, my father has always worked very hard, taking care of Yuan Sumei in every possible way.
Later, my father met a very young chef. This young man looked very good, and was about the same age as Yuan Sumei. In the end, Yuan Sumei married this young chef, and the relationship between the two was also very good. At that time, her husband was the third child at home, so many people called Yuan Sumei the "third sister-in-law". Later, due to work reasons, Yuan Sumei and her husband entered the University of Hong Kong together and formally became attached to the University of Hong Kong.
For Yuan Sumei, the University of Hong Kong has a special meaning. Since entering Hong Kong University, Yuan Sumei has regarded this as her home. Her husband worked as a cook in the canteen of the University of Hong Kong. At the beginning, Sumei Yuan worked as a dormitory administrator at the University of Hong Kong. She was loved by many students. In the eyes of Hong Kong adults, Yuan Sumei is more like a mother, caring for students. At that time, someone kindly called Yuan Sumei "Sansao", but Yuan Sumei was older in her age.
While working as a dormitory manager, some students had a high fever and did not go away for a few days, so Yuan Sumei made herbal tea. The students no longer hurt after drinking it. Some students couldn't think about it because of their relationship problems, so Yuan Sumei chatted with him. Some students are far away from home, and Yuan Sumei often cares about them. Later, Yuan Sumei became an assistant chef in the canteen of the University of Hong Kong. Every day students met Yuan Sumei in the canteen. In 2009, at this time, Yuan Sumei had worked at the University of Hong Kong for more than 40 years, and was finally named an honorary academician under the witness of everyone.
In Yuan Sumei's life, she has hardly read a book, she is illiterate in the eyes of others, plus her name and the words "Sansao", she only knows five words. But she has dedicated her life to the University of Hong Kong, leaving most of her life to the University of Hong Kong. In the hearts of teachers and students, Yuan Sumei is such a caring "third sister-in-law".
Although Yuan Sumei only knows five words, she has taught students such a lesson all her life, that is, caring for others. The title of Honorary Academician of Yuan Sumei is worthy of the name. She is using practical actions to educate students in Hong Kong University, which has influenced many people.
