Hongyan sent letters thousands of miles away, and the students from Yuha were heart to heart.

On Friday, December 21, 2018, Class 81 students of Liushuquan Farm School received a reply from a friend in Gongqian Township, Shaanzhou District, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province. The children were so happy when they received the letter. They couldn't wait to open it and enjoy the hug of friendship.

This time the children not only received a reply, but also received many gifts sent with the letter. There are pens, notebooks, books, paintings, warm patches, and more snacks. The children tasted various delicacies and felt the deep friendship from afar, and their hearts were melted. The classroom was filled with a festive atmosphere. They blessed each other, shared the delicious food brought by friends from far away, and were all happy from ear to ear.

The children’s joy and excitement infected me. I should really thank my good partner and sister, Teacher Shen Lihong. It was she who worked tirelessly to organize the children to write replies and then go to the post office to mail the letters. This activity provides a communication platform for children from Yu and Ha, who are thousands of miles apart, allowing them to develop friendships and exchange products, climate, scenery, food, and culture between the two places, opening a window for them to understand the outside world.

The children’s replies were even more domineering. In addition to being full of friendship, there were also bags full of Xinjiang specialties. In addition to being moved by the children’s friendship, I, the messenger, also had a profound feeling. I just can’t carry the children’s gifts.

They brought various gifts such as raisins, dates, walnuts, candies, books, notebooks, etc. along with the letter. The most important thing is that each child's envelope is bulging. I have to fill a box with 41 packages.

Below are the highlights of the children’s replies that I collected, please enjoy them together!

Every child writes a reply with heart and affection. Some words with repetitive meanings are not included. Every child is equally wonderful.

Last Friday, in the afternoon of the eighth class, (that was last year, haha!) we were cleaning. I heard from my classmates that the reply letter from our friends in Henan arrived in the class. As soon as I finished listening, I ran to the classroom with my friends full of expectations and excitement. At a glance, we saw the colorful and various letters that were pleasing to our eyes placed on the desk.

I also heard from the teacher that friends from Henan gave us gifts, and my heart was filled with a series of questions: What did you say to me in the letter, what gifts did you give me, and where are you? How are your grades? I wonder if it rained over there...

When the teacher sent the letter to me, I was very excited. I opened the envelope and found some candies and a blue tube inside. colored pen and a warm patch. At that time, all my classmates gathered around me, smiling and saying how envious I am of having such a good friend like you. The teacher also said that I was so happy that I couldn’t open my mouth from ear to ear. I was really happy from the bottom of my heart. I think a gift does not depend on how valuable it is, nor how gorgeous it looks. As long as it has a sincere heart and the meaning it embodies, it is enough!

The precious gift you gave me - sincere friendship, is like a bright star in the galaxy of my life. No words can express my gratitude, I can only say that I have engraved it in my heart!

It snowed twice here. Fortunately, the warm patch you gave me came in handy on the day it snowed. Hahaha, you are such a warm-hearted boy. There are many people with colds in our class. You should also keep warm. Wrap yourself into a rice dumpling when you go out so that you won't get cold. We have three days until the final exam here, so I have to work hard. I don’t know when you will take the exam, but you must also be well prepared for the final exam, so work hard!

I found that you are too playful and often play games. I'm quite special. I don't have the word "games" in my mind. I often read books, write novels, and play basketball. Other things are not my hobbies. Frequently looking at mobile phones will hurt your eyes and affect your academic performance. You are already in your third year of junior high school, so you should study hard. Even if your grades are not good now, there will always be hope if you work hard. I'm not saying you can't play, but you should arrange your time reasonably. Study hard, make a bright future for yourself, and make your future even better. How great!

I really like making friends, so even if I don’t receive your reply this time, I still choose to write to you. I have not given up the friendship between us. I don’t know if you regard me as a friend. Even if we are far apart, we are still communicating, getting to know each other, and understanding each other. How good is that. No matter how far the distance is, it can't stop our friendship. I wrote this letter in 2018, but you received it in 2019. It feels like time flies by so fast!

After seeing your letter, I feel that you have been in a very low mood recently. Although we are far apart, I can't help you with anything, but I can tell you how I vent my bad emotions.

Whenever I feel bad, I find a quiet place, sit there quietly, listen to music, empty my mind, and leave all these worries behind. Or find a place where no one is and cry bitterly. After crying, pretend that nothing happened. Or I can talk to my best friend about my troubles...

In your letter, you also said that "they are really annoying". In fact, I think you should look for the problem within yourself first. Maybe you are not Knowing them is why I find them annoying.

But have you ever thought about it, maybe it is your different hobbies and personalities that lead to your estrangement? Or maybe there is some misunderstanding between you and you have not explained it clearly, so your relationship is estranged.

You think your mother is nagging in your ears every day, which is very noisy, but do you know? In this world, they hope that their mother will nag them in their ears every day, but they don’t have this chance because their mother passed away when they were very young. And your mother can still nag you, you should feel happy. Although I know you may feel a little uncomfortable after hearing these words, I still want to say that I hope you can understand your mother.

Thank you for your reply to my letter, and thank you for the candy you gave me. The candy you gave me is very sweet and delicious. I hope I can eat it next time.

My hometown is in Pingliang, Gansu Province. There are wolfberry plants all over the mountains there. They are very beautiful and I like them very much. Maybe by the time this letter gets to you, I will already be on my way back to my hometown. Maybe I am fast asleep in the house in my hometown, or maybe I am standing on the top of a high mountain, overlooking the snowflakes falling in the mountains. scene.

You can regard me as a beautiful and beautiful sister. Here, I hope you can get a satisfactory score, study hard, study hard, and get into a good university in the future. Our Life is perfect. Maybe in the future, we can meet on the university campus!

I would like to introduce my family members to you, if you don’t mind! There are eight people in my family, including grandparents, mom and dad, two older brothers, one younger brother, and me. My hometown is Pingliang, Gansu, and I like it very much. There is white snow in winter, green grass in spring, rolling wheat waves in summer, and even more fruits in autumn. If you can come here, I will definitely take you to every inch of our countryside, taste the delicious food and appreciate the beautiful scenery there.

Ma Hongmei:

In this season of warmth mixed with coldness, you, a distant friend, appeared in ordinary life. We made friends through letters, with sincerity and tenderness. The font expresses the friendship between Yuha students.

Friendship is very beautiful. Friends are a group of magical people. People with good friends can bring joy to people everywhere and have fewer worries. People who don't have good friends are just the opposite. You and I are thousands of miles apart, but we became friends because of a letter. To me, this is no ordinary letter. It contains an indescribable fate between us. I believe it is the same for you.

The day before yesterday, we had the third snow in winter here, but it was not very cold. Maybe it was the legendary "the snow is not cold but the snow is cold". I hope you wear thicker clothes so you don’t catch a cold! I am an extremely ordinary person, and I don’t have many friends, but I am happy every day because I have the secret to staying happy, which is to laugh and share my troubles with my friends. May you be happy every day!

This is the second time I write to you, and my heart is still full of excitement. You said that the study tasks in ninth grade are very heavy and very tiring. I hope you can get an ideal score in the high school entrance examination. But be sure to pay attention to your body and don’t make yourself too tired! In the ninth grade, you must work hard, because the high school entrance examination is a turning point in your life, and it affects your whole life.

Our teacher Guo has a great influence on me. I feel that meeting her in 2018 is the luckiest thing. The teacher said she wanted to continue taking us to ninth grade, and I thought so too. But the teacher's aid to Xinjiang was only for one year. In my future life, I will definitely cherish my time, work hard to become excellent, and will not let Teacher Guo down.

I plan to send you some raisins, which are a bit small, but I hope you don’t mind. As the saying goes: "Sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is a light gift, but a heavy affection."

Time flies so fast ah! Looking back on 2018, the happiest thing was getting to know you. I clearly remember that the day I received the reply was Friday. I came late because I had something to do at the student union, and the teacher had already finished sending the reply. When I went to the class, I saw that the students were all reading the replies, eating various snacks, with smiles on their faces. Looking at the teacher's hand, there was no letter left, and I felt an uncontrollable disappointment. At this time, my deskmate called me. I saw the letter on the table. There is an origami heart stuck on it, which says: to Pao Zha Lai Ti. Sima Yi, don’t mention how happy I was at that time!

Zhang Junqi:

This is the second time I have written to you. To be honest, I am very happy. I thought I would never write again! Unexpectedly, we exchanged letters again. Although we have never met in person, we have gotten to know each other.

You told me to read your letter carefully, and I read it carefully. And you said that heavy snow is falling one after another in your place, and the world is white. He also said that I would like to see it, but you wouldn’t even take a picture of it for me.

I was very happy when I received the gifts from you and your sister. I will collect the coins you give me and keep them forever. I want to give you three coins to prove the generosity of our Xinjiang guys.

Let me tell you, let alone the heavy snow here, we finally got a light snowfall, and it didn’t take long for it to melt. It was also very cold, the wind was biting, and the wind felt like a knife cutting my face.

I’ll send you some of our specialties here, I hope you won’t be too little.

Also, I am not bragging, the food I cook is really delicious, so if you have time to come to our Willow Spring, I will cook braised pork, large plate of chicken and my special rabbit meat for you. Absolutely green, safe and delicious.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I hope you can receive a lot of red envelopes. I also hope you can tell me about the Chinese New Year in your place.

On the day the letter was sent, several classmates in our class and I did not receive a reply. The teacher said that you were busy with exams and did not have time to write to me. All right! I believe it for the time being (I still felt a little bit disappointed that day...)

I have had a cold these past few days, and my mood has been up and down, and I am very worried that it will affect the final exam! How about you, how are you feeling recently? Are you worried about exams?

2018 has passed. A few days ago, Teacher Guo asked us to write an essay titled "Farewell to 2018". Many students in our class summed up 2018 harshly. I suddenly discovered that my classmates had a very fulfilling year in 2018, and more importantly, their composition skills were not bad. Do you have a summary of the past year? I really wish you could tell me your story...

Oh, by the way! On December 29, 2018, our school celebrated New Year’s Day, and each class celebrated the holiday in its own way. Our class teacher asked us to bring our mobile phones. I took a lot of photos. If you want to see them, you can ask me for them! (I like photography very much...)

My classmates are all very talented. Although they usually look like they are just doing nothing, their talents are impressive! Your school must be very lively on New Year’s Day!

I hope you can reply to me this time and don’t let my hope turn into disappointment, okay?

The temperature here in winter is very low, so low that if you pour a glass of water on the ground, it will freeze within a minute. When it snows, the snowflakes fall from the sky, it’s so beautiful! Our winter here is very cold and quiet, and sometimes the streets are deserted. The snowy scenery here reminds me of the famous saying by Xie Daoyun, Taifu Xie's niece, "The weak catkins are blown by the wind."

In 2018, it snowed here for the first time and the last time. This snow has made our playground lively. We had a great time playing snowball fights, building snowmen, and skiing together!

Just a few days ago, we celebrated New Year's Day. On New Year's Day, the students in our class prepared wonderful programs. Ethnic minority students danced Maixi Lepu in a lively manner. It can be seen that they are filled with joy and happiness in their hearts. Let me introduce to you Maixi Laip, which is a traditional dance of the Uyghur people and a famous dance in Xinjiang. Fu Jianhao and Hu Mingxuan also performed guitar, with Hu Mingxuan playing and Fu Jianhao singing. The two of them worked well together and played and sang very well. We all applauded and cheered for them. We also finished the games of grabbing stools and stepping on balloons.

The final exam will be in three days. I am very excited about the final exam because after the exam is over, we can have a holiday. I will be a little nervous when I receive the notice after the exam. I am afraid that I will not do well in the exam. If I do not do well in the exam, this holiday will be unhappy. This holiday will be wonderful only if you get good grades.

That’s true for me, but for you!

When I grow up and have the opportunity, I will definitely go to the tourist attractions you mentioned and that snack street. You must be my tour guide then! I want to try your snacks. Are they as delicious as you said?

We have the final exam in two days. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I am nervous for good grades and excited for a winter vacation. But my academic performance is not very good, and I don’t particularly like studying. I hope you won’t be like me!

I also like to play games and play with friends, but I advise you not to be addicted to games and be unable to extricate yourself. It may affect your life and study. I will also restrain myself from playing games.

In the school, there is a forest belt to the west. There are many tables and chairs made of tires. There are also tires beside the path. Many people like to ride on tires for a while. The last time we played, the principal came over angrily, gave us a severe scolding, and said: This is what the teachers have worked so hard to arrange, how can you play like this? Then we were punished by doing 100 push-ups. We had more fun from then on! (It’s just that that was when the principal was away)

We have a rule for this final exam, that is, students who are in the bottom 15 in the class must make up lessons at school. I don’t have a problem though, haha… I don’t have a problem with being in the top ten. Sometimes after class, many students come to ask me questions, and I will teach them carefully and attentively. Sometimes I feel really proud of myself... I am very popular in our class and can be considered an outstanding student in our class. You should learn more from me!

I am still the best male actor in our class. I am not boasting, it is recognized by our class, huh! I have a "brother" who wants to get to know you, who is my front desk. "He" is looking forward to your reply next time. "His" name is Guo Liangxia!

We have to set off fireworks during the Chinese New Year, but I have never dared to touch fireworks since I was a child. I also learned from your letter that you have a bad temper. This is normal, because we have all reached adolescence, and it is inevitable that we will get angry because of some trivial things.

So when you are angry, try to restrain yourself and don't feel bad about trivial things.

Let me tell you a little secret. I am afraid of creatures with eight legs. You must have guessed it, which is creepy spiders.

It is very cold here in winter. It is dry and biting cold. Due to the weather, many students have caught a cold. You must keep warm and don't catch a cold!
