A dog to accompany you, a dream to fulfill, and a love to bear

Fenghua suffers from a genetic mutation disease and has undergone more than a dozen major surgeries and countless minor surgeries. Especially during the recovery period after the last major surgery, she always had a service dog to accompany and guide her every Sunday when she came to Chinese class. It was inconvenient to sit down and stand up in the classroom, so she also relied on this service dog. She likes Chinese Hanfu costumes very much. Every year on China Day and when performing Chinese programs, she likes to wear this unique and beautiful costume.
Hans is a retired university professor born in the 1940s. His most outstanding work is his own speech competition script, written in Chinese, which is novel and humorous. Today's theme is "Realizing Dreams": "My dream is that in 2099, I am a big German boy who plays football very well. Seeing that the Chinese football team is very weak, I applied to join the Chinese football team. They didn't agree because I was a "yellow-haired, white-skinned" German. Later, the captain of the Chinese team bought a German washing machine and didn't know how to use it, so he asked me for help. I successfully helped him start the washing machine. To express his gratitude, he put a bag of washing powder in my pocket and put me in the washing machine to wash. When I came out, my yellow hair turned black, my white skin turned yellow, and I became a real Chinese. In this way, I successfully joined the Chinese football team. We defeated the American football team! From then on, the Chinese football team became an international powerhouse..." "Why is my dream 2099? Because I was still a big boy then?" "Learning Chinese makes me younger!"
Young and handsome George started learning Chinese in 2015. At that time, he had just entered junior high school, and his father drove him to and from school without interruption. After graduating from high school, he went to another state to attend college and continued to learn Chinese. After graduating from college, he returned to his hometown of St. Louis. Hearing that his old classmates who had studied Chinese with him were still studying, he returned to his old Chinese class. George's Mandarin pronunciation is accurate, fluent, and natural, and he often uses some common Chinese idioms, such as "you are too polite",
"mamahuhu"...
