I still remembered clearly that the day I was crying with a heavy heart because I failed to pass the examination. I didn’t know what to do and where to go, just like a bird lost its way. Teacher, it was you who lighted the beacon of hope in my heart in the dark night. Your warm words, affectionate eyes, which dispelled the cold winter from my heart and kindled the flame of hope as well. And I still remembered that the platform, the desks, the springs and autumns, all witness the flower petals of your heart. The buds, the seedlings, the spring flowers and fall fruits, all owe to your sincere devotion. -LK
