I met Teacher Jingye in August 2011, when we flew to Hainan to participate in the "Asia, Africa and Latin America Overseas Teachers Training Course" organized by Hanban. We will both go to Korea to teach, he at Incheon University and I at Keimyung University in Daegu.

We didn’t have much contact with each other in Hainan, except for one or two things. While attending a calligraphy lecture, I asked him for the single-character copybook of Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Anthology". I had no intention of learning calligraphy. I just thought Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy was extremely beautiful and wanted to appreciate it carefully on my computer when I had time. But until now, this file is still lying quietly on the hard drive and has never been opened again.

The calligraphy teacher invited by Hanban showed several of his proud works in class. It was set up on the podium during the break, and calligraphy enthusiasts rushed to watch. A professor surnamed Lu from Ludong University and teacher Jing Ye from the University of Foreign Studies watched particularly carefully. I also ran over to be arty. As the saying goes, "A layman watches the fun, an expert watches the door." I am a layman, just joining in the fun.

Later, Teacher Jingye took the Shinkansen from Incheon to Daegu to visit me. We talked about calligraphy again, and I found out that Teacher Jingye had been practicing calligraphy for more than 30 years. Use good rice paper for writing and Huzhou Langhao for writing brushes. I said, then this expense is not small. He smiled and said that since I don’t smoke or drink, this little money is nothing.

At the graduation ceremony of the training class, there was a program written and performed by the students. There are exciting rhythmic gymnastics, elegant Tai Chi swords, passionate bel canto, Cangliang Qin opera, and graceful Xinjiang dance. Oh my, what an eye-opener. Don't look at them who are usually polite, but when they perform on the show, they are lively and charming.

What impressed me most was the rhythmic gymnastics brought by sister Jin Ling from Beijing Sports University. Wearing hot pants, she jumped out of the vitality and passion of young people. She's beautiful, it's all about her figure, not her looks.

Jin Ling works the hardest during training. We have Tai Chi class at seven o'clock every morning, and most people go to the playground in a hurry. Only Jin Ling arrived at six o'clock and was waiting by practicing fan dance.

I didn’t know her name at that time. I only remembered her appearance and dancing posture. She was a very ordinary-looking woman.

Later, after getting to know her in the QQ group of Asia, Africa and Latin America, I realized that she was a very outstanding woman. Wearing a pink down jacket, he picked me up at the subway station and walked with me through Wudaokou where the night was low and noisy. I was treated to a bowl of egg noodles and two bottles of beer. When I talk to my mother on the phone, I speak pure Shaanxi dialect, with the tenderness and character of Shaanxi women who dare to love and hate.

The voice and smile are unforgettable.

Let’s talk about that performance again. The finale of the day was Teacher Jing Ye’s Tai Chi Sword. He usually wears glasses, is a bit thin, speaks slowly, is elegant and easy-going.

On the stage that day, with the beautiful music, the red sword tassels flew up and down with the shaking of the sword body. The thin body was wearing a white training uniform, raising his hands and moving his feet, with a fairy spirit. fluttering. Teacher Jingye must have put in a lot of effort to make a set of Tai Chi swords as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water. Later, he told me that practicing boxing and swordsmanship was originally to treat cervical spondylosis, but then it became a hobby without knowing it, and now he has been practicing for nearly thirty years. After hearing this, I was extremely envious.

In my second year in Korea, during the spring season, Teacher Jingye and two other female teachers came to Daegu to visit us. We all trained together in Hainan, and we didn’t talk much at the time.

There is a foreign language teacher in Beijing who is very elegant. When he was in Hainan, he was so brilliant that he didn’t even dare to look at her. During the two or three days in Daegu, I gradually got to know him. He is a very nice person and he is very knowledgeable.

When the group of them arrived in Daegu, it was already past five o'clock and the weather was a bit cold. Lina and I had already prepared the ingredients. I chopped the meat, washed the leeks, prepared the stuffing, and made dumplings tonight. Teacher Jingye took us to make dumplings, and several women rolled out the dough, boiled water, and made tea. Women are a good thing. No wonder bachelors are obsessed with finding a woman to live with. Women are born to be lively, and chatting together makes people feel good.

That day I took out the red wine from my collection, fried my specialty cabbage and tofu, grilled three or five saury, and served these aunts so beautifully that my face was red and my ears were warm.

After the pommel horse was tired, I took Teacher Jingye back to the room to sleep. I slept on the floor and he slept on the bed. The heating is sufficient and the quilt wraps around the body, making it very comfortable. We stayed up late talking about work and making all kinds of complaints. Teacher Jingye’s student was the dean there, and he didn’t have a good relationship with him, so he was only given a few classes. On my side, there are also many unsatisfactory places.

The next day, Teacher Jingye and I went hiking. In South Korea, mountain climbing is a popular sport that is popular among men, women, and children.

When I was in Daegu, I often saw a large group of elderly people wearing hiking clothes, carrying hiking poles, taking the subway to climb mountains in the suburbs on weekends. Teacher Jingye has few classes in Incheon and often goes hiking. And this is my first experience since coming to Korea.

Green mountains and green waters, good air, there is not a single trash can on the huge mountain, and no domestic garbage can be seen. Climbers put their trash in plastic bags and take it with them down the mountain.

Teacher Jingye walks very fast. He is ten years older than me, but my physical strength is far inferior to his. He had to take care of my strength from time to time, climb halfway up the mountain, find a stone slab to sit down, take a breath with me, drink water, and look at the men and women passing by.

Korean women pay attention to appearance. Even if he looks ordinary, he should try his best to make himself look more pleasing to the eye, and his dressing should not be perfunctory at all.

There is a section of the road where you need to hold on to the handrails and it is very steep. A young mother was also crawling, with a swaddling baby on her back.

It is much easier to go down the mountain. You can take a leisurely look at the city, trees, and various wild flowers below. Physically tired, mentally relaxed. There is a feeling of defeating yourself.

Mountain, you are so awesome, I finally climbed you.

Teacher Jingye took me there for the first time, so I was deeply impressed.

After coming to Thailand, I kept in touch with Teacher Jingye in the past few years. Later, QQ was stolen and contact was interrupted.
