Teacher Who’s Who

Thanks to those who have made the efforts to keep this name list of our teacher. As you would notice, it is not yet a full list, and we hope our people can help to make it complete. We also have an address list, already sent out by Ruby Zhao (Changhong) through emails, for privacy reasons we would make it public here, i.e. to view the list, you have to be a registered member.

Information on Teacher Who IS Who will be updated soon.

You Will Make the Difference

Please read this:

My fellow schoolmates,

I would like to share with you here a letter from Professor Li Huilin (李慧琳) regarding our 20-year reunion and the recent Teachers’ Day activity. I strongly feel that the letter is not only addressed to me but also addressed to all of us.

Professor Li Huilin was still recovering from her heart operation when she came to our reunion. She lives in the southwest area of Shanghai, which means she had to go across the city diagnostically to come to meet us in Shangwai. She wrote this letter while still trying to fight the cataract disease of her eyes. I believe there are many teachers who have true concerns and loves for their students like Professor Li. I was extremely surprised to see at our reunion that Professor Wang Zhongmin（汪忠民） remembers clearly all the names of the students whom he recruited from AnHui province 24 years ago!

When we started to prepare for our reunion, it took us no time to collect the names of all the fellow students. However, it took us quite a while to gather the names of our teachers and unfortunately the list we have today is not a complete list. Lots of our schoolmates think it is a shame. I feel the same way. We took too many things for granted while we were young; nevertheless, we still have the time to make it up. That is why the Beijing folks proposed this year’s Teachers’ Day activity.

In addition to that, I would like to make another proposal here: Say hello to our teachers regularly!

All you need to do is to squeeze out a little of your busy time, send a greeting, an email, pay a visit, pick up the phone etc. Whenever you greet your families and friends during holidays, please do the same for our teachers (especially for the retired ones). They probably don’t remember who you are, but you will make the difference in their hearts and make them feel the true rewarding of their life time career.

A file containing our teachers’ contact information will be prepared and sent out via email shortly. If you don’t see it in your mailbox in 2 weeks, please send inquiry to permalink81#hotmail.com or rubyczd#yahoo.com.

Best Regard to All

Zhao Changhong

Below is the re-typed letter by Zhao Changhong and attached above is the scanned photocopy of the letter.

常红同学: 你好!

首先要 谢谢你寄来的教师节贺卡及7月份我们聚会时所照的相片，由于收到你信时我正在医院开”白内障”，所以直到今天才给你回信，很抱歉，望见谅。

这此能有机会能与你们这一届同学20年后再聚会，真是太高兴了！看到你们现在一个个那么有出息，真为有你们这样的学生而自豪，真要感谢你们这些为这次聚会而不懈努力的发起人。最近又收到了你们大家送给我们教师的交通卡，真使我们既感动又感激，这些小小的卡片凝聚着你们对我们老师的一片深情厚意，每当我们用此卡时，就会想到你们，再一次谢谢你们。

由于我现在只是右眼动了手术，视力已恢复到1.0，左眼仍是550度近视所以两只眼睛视力反差太大，看东西写字都很不习惯，等一个月后再将左眼也去手术，然后才会正常看东西，由于上述缘故，此信字迹潦草，也望见谅。但愿我们不久能再相会。

就写这些，祝

身体健康，万事如意！
