I was touched by the specially good professional sensitivity and high work efficiency in the School of International Cultural Exchanges at Beijing Institute of Economic Management.
-- May 9, 2014, Mrs. Zeng Qiang who is a retired researcher of Beijing Institute of Economic Management attended my first class and recommended me to her institute.
-- May 16, 2014, Mrs. Xue Hui Qing who is the Director of Student Center of the School of International Cultural Exchanges at Beijing Institute of Economic Management attended my second class in the classroom and in the part, to see how I teach students to read, recite and to sing a Chinese poem, then to go out of the door to paint from the nature.
-- May 19 or 20, 2014, Mrs. Xue Hui Qing called me and they would like to invite me to give a lecture to their students from France, America, Indonesia and Korea on May 28, 2014.
-- May 23, 2014, Mrs. Xue Hui Qing picked up me to have a talking in her office and to see their classroom and we.
-- May 24, 2014, we changed the lecture time to be May 30, 2014 because my school will organize students to have a painting from the nature on May 28, 2014. Our school informed students about this 2 weeks ago, but our monitor forgot to inform me because I came back China in March so that many new students have not known me yet.
-- May 30, 2014, our event worked very well, the only pity was the students from France and America could not attend because they had the other lessons.
I was also touched by the sincere treatment from their school. Since I did not drive my car to Beijing, and I had to carry much data, many pictures and painting tools with me to work in their school and the time is in the afternoon, the taxi driver who lives in the same building was not at home at that time. Mrs. Xu Huiqing and a driver came to pick up me in the car of their president and sent me back home in the evening...
With the good impression on each other, both of our sides are thinking whether we will be able to have some cooperation base on the first good work together... :-)
Now, we have made an appointment on the day and we will have a formal conversation with her bosses in the end of June...
