Wang Zonglan's story

Below is a letter from Wang Zonglan, a student who has been financially supported via Operation Blessing (and Mai Pearls) in his education over the past 3 years and who has now graduated.

Dear Aunties and Uncles:

How are you? Wish you a good health and a success at work.

I haven’t written to you in a long time. Am now writing down this letter during a time when the flowers are blooming, I send my best wishes to you in this coming summer.

Time has passed by so quickly. I have already completed my 3 years junior of school and will soon start a new life. In the past 3 years, I have received so much help from you, which has given me the chance to go on with my studies and also the strength to cope with the difficulties. It’s you who has given me a bright future. Let me show my honest and deepest appreciation to you.

Your support to me has been able to support my living and studying, and change my life. You are the symbol of love to me. You lead me to the sea of knowledge. You show me hope in my desperate time. You give me the confidence and you taught me to face difficulties calmly and bravely. You are the spring shower that has fed hope to this heart.

Aunties and uncles, I’ll graduate from school, don’t know if we will have the chance to meet each other in future. Tomorrow is unknown, however, I’ll keep running on the spirit you give me. I know the only way to success is to master the knowledge. I’ll go on with my studies and realise myself through practice.

Please let me say thank you very much again. And I wish you good health and a successful work.

Sincerely yours,
Wang Zonglan
