Operation Blessing
Dear Aunties and Uncles:
How are you? I hope that you are well and your work is going well. Appreciate you extending a helping hand that has saved me from discontinuing my studies. With your help, there has been a great change in my studies and even in my life. My parents need not worry about my education fees anymore. Instead, they can now buy for me some school books and stationery relevant for my studies. Thank you so much for your help, allowing me to have a good foundation in life.
I am gradually realizing that in life, there will always be difficulties. But these challenges and difficulties do not have to dictate one’s direction of his development. I have never complained that the world is unfair even though it seems that all the tribulations fall on the poor and all the happiness is bestowed on the rich. I thought that we poor people suffered all the hardships in world. But now, I find that I’m wrong in my thinking. The rich get their success through their own struggles to break away from poverty. So, although living in these remote mountain regions, I won’t complain about how unfair my fate is any more. I believe that as long as I can try my best to work hard and struggle against all the obstacles in front of mine, I can also reach success eventually.
My dear aunties and uncles, thank you again for your help time after time. It has really caused me to think a lot about life, and now I can understand it better. Your help is so appreciated, it has done me a great favor and given me a desire to be able to soar.
Best wishes for your good health and good work.
Sincerely yours,
Cui Xuemei
