Dear Mahuzhibian Political Commissar:
After reading your enthusiastic letter, as a student of Jiuzhou Fangwen Elite Special Training Camp (Phase II), I want to say something to you Speak from your heart!
First of all, thank you for warming my heart with your poems! I was a newbie at writing. After a chance encounter, I suggested to Sister Fangshui that I want to participate in a 28-day special story writing training camp. Before that, I had no idea about the theory of story writing. Although I have tried writing before, I could never write the words I wanted, so here I am. As for the training fees paid, it is actually not worth mentioning. In comparison, we have gained more, and Teacher Yiming and the teaching assistants have worked harder. Therefore, I never paid attention to these, but I was deeply moved by the hard work and responsibility of the teachers. On the day you first arrived in Jiuzhou, you wrote a beautiful and moving poem: A gust of wind from the south of the Yangtze River blew a gust of rain from the south of the Yangtze River...
When I read your passionate letter yesterday, I felt so moved in my heart. I was equally excited, but because I had to be busy with lectures and homework first, I put my reply to the political commissar later. Please understand! Why do I dare to "snub" the political commissar like this? The reason is very simple, because I know the political commissar's open-mindedness, and you must be a tolerant and kind brother. You may say: How do you know? You haven't seen me! Hahaha, I just know it, because of your words and poems. When I first came here, I copied the beautiful poem you wrote in my notebook! Although we have never met, it feels like we have known each other for a long time, like a big brother, a teacher, and a friend. I think that as you are in my mind, you should be equally kind, amiable, lovely and respectable in front of other students!
You are right, only by giving up can you gain. Only with the hard work of the teachers can the students gain full harvest. Only with the deep encouragement of the teachers can we have the confidence to actively learn to write. With your encouragement, our classmates have also learned to learn from each other and encourage each other. We will not forget the character, courtesy and etiquette that a writer should have. We all remember it!
I also know that our studies are amateurs, and the teachers should also be amateurs. We just come together for the same dream to learn and explore the mysteries of literature together. Our time is precious, so we cherish every learning opportunity and every minute and second in class. Because of the Spring Festival, the course was interrupted in the middle, but classes were suspended but learning did not stop. Didn’t the political commissar and teachers also rain red after another during the Spring Festival? We know that the political commissar's heart is concerned about our training camp, and we understand even if occasionally we are unable to start classes in time due to busyness. Seeing that the political commissar also apologized for not being able to start the class on time, it was really unnecessary, because we all understood very well that we could have done something else if we didn't have class that day, and everyone was working and studying the same. You are so polite, we are embarrassed! I will keep every teacher and every partner in Jiuzhou Fangwen in my heart. I want to say with my most sincere heart: Thank you, thank you, dear teacher, dear partner!
I would also like to express my special thanks to Teacher Yiming. When Teacher Yiming was giving us a lecture, I listened to his somewhat hoarse voice and thought to myself: Teacher, I really want to hold you a cup of hot tea to moisten your mind. Moisturize your throat and hope you take good care of yourself! We want to continue listening to your lectures! This little thought is a little bit selfish. I just love it because of love. If I like the teacher’s class, of course I hope the teacher’s body will be even better! Not only Teacher Yiming, but also Teacher Fangshui, the political commissar, Xiaoyin, Xia Fei, Xianya, Pengpeng... Everyone should take care of themselves! I like every teacher here. It is your gentleness, humility and hard work that make us feel like home in the training camp.
What our students want to know is how effective our learning is. The political commissar's topic assignment is a test, and your topic just pointed the way for me who still doesn't know what to write! Therefore, I still want to thank you for your topic composition. Feel free to take action in the future, and we will continue! Anyway, I know that if we don’t know how to write, we can still take the opportunity to ask the political commissars and teachers for advice. Then it will be your hard work!
The spring rain is lingering, love is long and paper is short. Although there is no need for paper to write letters, thousands of words can be written on it, but I can't finish it no matter how much I want to say, as long as the meaning is expressed clearly. . So, that’s it for this reply! A new year, a new beginning. I am not an elite, I am just a member of the elite special training camp. No matter how I learn in the end, I will try my best to write and create.
For Jiuzhou, for Fangwen, for the dreams in our hearts...
The light rain in Jiangnan
