It’s time for me to say goodbye to you, even though I don’t like to. At this very moment, I am filled with mixed feelings. It makes me happy and excited that I’ll see my beloved wife and children soon, but at the same time I don’t want to bid farewell to you, my dear students and friends as well as Tianjin, your beautiful city.
In fact, I regard Tianjin as my second hometown, and the students and teachers here as my family members and best friends. I’ll never forget the warmest welcome you gave me when I first arrived in Tianjin. I’ll never forget the day on which you took me to the hospital when I fell ill an the dumplings that Li Ming’s parents prepared for me that night.
Yet, I still remember you were all laughing at me when I was trying to use chopsticks for the first time in Tianjin Food Street, but do you know that now I prefer chopsticks to knives and forks?
I’m very glad to see the great progress you’ve made in your English and the prosperity of vocational education in Tianjin. I am told that many graduates from this college are devoting themselves to the construction of Tianjin now. I believe your future is bright and so is the future of Tianjin.
Now I’m leaving soon, but I have a strong desire to come back to Tianjin, back to my beloved school with my family as soon as possible.
Best wishes!
Thank you!
