When I grow up, my dream is to train my children into knowledgeable people, change family life and change the face of my hometown. In the tide of going abroad, my daughter, as a new generation of intellectuals, is studying abroad, and I actively support her. When I left, a good friend of mine asked me, "Are you willing to let your daughter go that far?" ? I answered her without hesitation: "The world is so big, we should go out and have a look;" Since I can't give her anything, I can't stop her from realizing her dream! "I warned my daughter:" Going out of the house represents home, and going abroad represents country. Wherever we go, we can't forget that we are from China, and we can't forget our ancestors' motto "Diligence and Ambition". "
My daughter's family went to Singapore. After several years of hard work, both the daughter and the couple found satisfactory jobs and returned to their relatives in their hometown. Their dream is to train their daughters into new talents in the 2 1 century and build their own hometown and motherland. At the beginning, when my granddaughter first came to Singapore, she was still a third-grade primary school student. Although she is an excellent student in China, she can't speak English in the new environment. In the end, her children didn't know what the teacher said. Her parents warned her: "Be diligent and ambitious!" After half a year's hard work, she became a good student in Chinese and mathematics in her class, and gradually caught up with English, even serving as the monitor.
Primary school students in Singapore are selected at different levels. Five years ago, before the fourth grade of primary school was promoted to primary school, it was necessary to unify the examination and set up fast and slow classes according to the results. I am a retired primary school teacher and need to help my granddaughter at a critical time. I went to Singapore. After half a year's counseling and help, my granddaughter got the first score in Chinese and the first total score in the fourth grade graduation exam. She won the prize and was promoted to the fast class. In the fifth and sixth grade, her composition was particularly outstanding and she often participated in competitions on behalf of the school. When my granddaughter graduated from the sixth grade, I went to Singapore again. I saw her enter a famous key middle school in China with excellent results and become an activist in school activities. In fact, almost all primary and secondary school students who followed their parents to Singapore studied hard and got good grades. Local primary and secondary schools like to accept students from China.
When my granddaughter's primary school Chinese teacher learned that I was a retired Chinese teacher in China, she came to our home, asked me to introduce China's Chinese teaching experience, and asked me to give a lecture to senior students in their school: How to write exercises vividly and concretely. After three voluntary lectures, teachers and students responded very well. The written comment of the head of the Chinese department of the school is: "Mr. Wu's vivid and interesting explanation has benefited the students a lot and is full of praise. Our teachers and students are deeply grateful. " And introduced me to tutor two students in their school Chinese composition through a private tutorial school. Here, I met not only local China students and friends, but also Indian and Malay friends. I introduced them to the historical sites, scenic spots and delicious food in China and China, and they all yearned for an early trip to China.
I am a retired teacher in my sixties in China, and my English level is extremely limited. In foreign countries, I can stand on the podium and give lectures to the top students of the school, and I never expect to earn money. As mentioned in the pre-competition speech of this online essay contest, "China has never provided such a broad space for personal development and success as it is now". I am determined to take this opportunity to sincerely introduce the Chinese teaching method in China to them. I have also carefully studied the teaching mode and experience of local primary and secondary schools.
During my more than one year in Singapore, I not only gave lectures on homework to students twice every Saturday, but also wrote a review article for Lianhe Zaobao, a local Chinese newspaper, with a publishing rate of over 50%. He has published many articles, such as Quality Education in Primary Schools and Teachers' Teaching Methods, Skill Specialization, Sports Life, Giving Love, A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Every Sunday, we old people who come from all over China to take care of our children will take part in sports activities organized by the community: boxing and walking. Our old ladies in China can get up early and love sports, so they are very popular. We wear clean and decent clothes every day, treat people politely and abide by local laws and regulations, which is well received.
But now some people don't know China. In a sports activity, we went to the bathroom. A China woman asked me, "I heard that there are no doors in your toilets in China?" At that time, I felt so strong. As the saying goes, a son doesn't hate his mother, and a dog doesn't hate his family. I think she has no respect for our country. I didn't answer. After returning home, I can't be calm. I turned on the computer and wrote an article in one breath: "Please visit China". The full text is written like this:
I haven't been in Singapore for a long time, and I am deeply impressed by my civilized and hospitable friends, beautiful natural environment and orderly social order. However, some friends don't know much about China today, and sometimes they have different views on us in China.
Today, I participated in a community fitness activity. In the bathroom, a China lady asked me in front of many people: "I heard that there are no doors in your toilets in China?" I smiled and shook my head. I think this may be the situation in rural China when her grandparents went to Nanyang. China is not what it used to be. I sincerely invite this friend to visit China in Chinese mainland now.

Due to my limited experience, the information introduced will inevitably be leaked. Please come to China. I'll believe that when I see it.
Send it out at random after writing. Although this article has never been published, I think I can get it off my chest.
Later, I felt that some people might not really understand China after the reform and opening up. Today, some parts of our country are really backward, and the people of the whole country need to unite and struggle. Let's take those different voices as our motivation.
In Singapore, I think: she is a city country with a population of just over 3 million, small area, few natural resources and short history. Why is it developing so fast? By reading Biography of Lee Kuan Yew and Local Records of Singapore, I know. In poor and backward old China, some "Hakkas" in China left Nanyang in order to survive. They firmly believe that "everyone is diligent and ambitious", and through the efforts of several generations, they have laid a new world. They are Chinese Singaporeans today.
Singapore is a multi-ethnic country, with more than 80% Chinese, Indians, Malays and a few Europeans and Americans. The country's iconic slogan is: people of all ethnic groups live in harmony. The government guarantees from the system. The residents of each residential building are allocated in proportion to the population. Neighbors greet each other politely when they meet. People are civilized, law-abiding and care for public health, which is the result of years of education and severe punishment; When the country is rich, there are fewer crimes. The country cultivates talents, introduces talents and develops high technology to make the country rich quickly. The rice and flour, vegetables, fruits and even drinking water that Singaporeans eat are imported.
Once a leader spoke, he said, "We can exchange a lot of food with a small chip." Singapore's national leaders "pay a high salary to maintain honesty" and go deep into the masses. Civil servants at all levels can do things according to the rules and rarely practice favoritism. Former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and State Councilor tharman shanmugaratnam can often be seen in mass activities. They can exercise and have fun with the people, which shows the harmony between the national leaders and the people. The state stipulates strict taxation for high-income people and subsidies for low-income people, which greatly alleviates social contradictions. It is really "the country is rich and the people are safe."
"It's better to go home and kiss than to say goodbye for a hundred days." I returned to my hometown in Northeast China. I have seen the changes in my hometown: the road is wide and the sky is blue, and every family basically has a house to live in, so it is not a problem for everyone to eat and wear warm clothes; However, the income of the broad masses of workers is small, and the life of laid-off workers is hard. I think: My hometown is located in the vast Songliao Plain, with fertile land, rich minerals and an old industrial base. How can it not develop?
We Northeasters have lofty national integrity and fighting spirit in the struggles of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. During the period of socialist construction, he contributed to the construction of the whole country. Now, under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee, leaders at all levels at the provincial, municipal, district and county levels should take the people in mind, seize the great opportunity of reform and opening up, regain their glory, go out (overseas students come back after their studies), please come in (introduce funds and talents), develop high technology according to local conditions, and build Northeast China as soon as possible. This is my hometown dream. In my lifetime, I can see a harmonious society in which all China is free from foreign invasion, social stability and less crime, and everyone lives a healthy and happy life. This is my Chinese dream.
