Liu Yanhu, Gansu: Live up to youth

Editor's note: Liu Yanhu has been living in the south of Huining since he was a child, the tough environment sharpened his perseverance, sharing housework for his parents at home, hard work and excellent results at school, I hope he can continue to work hard to become a proud child to change the fate of the family after graduation!

I am a sponsored student of Uncle Lam of Care Action Macao. I am studying journalism at the School of Journalism and Communication of Lanzhou University of Arts and Sciences. How time flies! In the past four years when we received the funding, my family and I are very grateful for Uncle Lam's silent efforts and help.

Last year was an extraordinary year. In addition to the significant impact of the epidemic, continuous rainfall caused floods in my hometown and large-scale crop reduction. Fortunately, my youngest older sister has been employed this year, and I am still in school, and the economic pressure in the home has been reduced. Since receiving Uncle Lam's support, I have rarely taken money from my family.

In the past few years, I have taken the student union of the school as a platform for me to exercise, and helped the teachers of the Communist Youth League Committee of the school to share part of the work through my own efforts. As the senior year involved in the graduation of more matters, but also involved in the examination work, so not long ago just retired from the vice-chairman of the student union. In the process of working in the Student Union, I have been adjusting my time allocation. So far, I have not failed any relevant courses, and my work has also been praised by the teachers of the Youth League Committee of the school.

Thinking of my hobby after work, I got the certificate of a registered teacher of China Hard Pen Calligraphy Association this year. I didn't waste my interest.

This small achievement in school is inseparable from Uncle Lam's silent support behind me. He lightened the burden of my family and the economic pressure on my parents. Uncle Lam was like my second parent, helping me to enrich my knowledge in school.

Now I always feel that time is not enough, always feel that time is too fast, afraid of time mercilessly slip away. In the university I got a lot of growth, I also gained a lot of experience. When I joined the student union and associations at the same time, the study did not relax at all, there is no failing record, all these results are Uncle Lam's help and care for my family.

Recalling the learning experience in the university that is about to end, I feel that there are a lot of words in my heart. I don't know what to say to express my feelings clearly. I can only take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Uncle Lam of Care Action Macao for their care and help to me.
