Actually this story is continuation of “zhongwen is must part 2 and part 3″. I still wanna talk about my myanmar friend, xiao li. Now she is become more than a friend for me. She is like my sister. I never tought before that it was not too difficult to become close to her. Eventough it needs extra effort to communicate with her. But so far, we are become more understand each other. I always try to improve my chinese, so that i can talk with her nicely. But i think chinese is really really hard to be learned. And only xiao li can understand my chinese.
It started when she often went to my room to ask about her course. Chemistry, mathematic and english. Actually i am familiar enaugh with chemistry, i mean with the material that she asked to me, but the problem was how can i explain it in chinese? i had been given chemistry private lesson for 5 years, but i never taught in another language except indonesian. However i had to explain in chinese, the language that still i confuse with.
xiao li is a smart girl, she could understand my explanation even my language was really messy. honestly, it was not really chinese, plus gesture, of course^^.
She also often eats in my room together with me and my roomate. Day after day, what i expected before became true then. She willing to pray with us. Actually before came to taiwan, she used to pray in Myamar, but during in Taiwan she never do pray again. so i and my friends just need to remember her about how to pray.
she came to taiwan about five years ago, when she was 15 years old. she has no family in Taiwan. and she has to work to support her live also to pay her school fee. so every vacation she goes to kaohsiung to work. she is really type of hard worker girl.
I was really happy when she willing to move to my room then. So i can be closer to her. Moreover i don’t need to call her everyday when we want to eat and pray together.
Her joining to my room gives the different atmosphere. i can practice chinese with her everyday. She also bring the new happiness in my room. she is so funny and kind hearted. i really like her. i am sure, all of my rommate also like her.
now, what should i do? ya, practice chinese harder and harder. because there are many things that i need to tell xiao li. hope someday she can be one of “kader dakwah” in taiwan. ^^
i love you, xiao li^^
