Dr. Wenrong Yan and I have written since 2008, when I was a student of Missouri State University.
I wrote to her first time because the writing center would like to employ a student to be Chinese teacher. I wrote to her to apply this position, but I just wanted to be a volunteer, instead of a part time employee, because I did not think that my English was good enough, but just I wanted to have an opportunity to teach non-Chinese speakers to learn Chinese and culture by enjoying singing, painting and poetry...
I got a good responding from Dr. Yan and she invited me to stop in her office.
However, just at that time, I met the some most difficult course and the huge pressure from my study stopped me to do anything else except keeping painting.
But we still kept writing once in a while, until 2012, I invited her to be my English tutor and got her wonderful help...
Anyway, we have not met each other, until Sep 23, 2013, I offered a class for her students. :-)
This photo was taken by Xu Kun in her office before my lesson was started at 10:30am. :-)
