US teacher in China muTu's Note - Read and Learn Chinese in 5 Minutes

Dennis Needham, a teacher from the US who has lived in Shizuishan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, for 17 years, said he will stay in China forever if possible.

Teacher from US calls Ningxia home, 17 years on

Dennis Needham teaches a class to students at Ningxia College of Science and Technology in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region.

丹尼斯·李约瑟(Dennis Needham)是一名来自美国的教师，已经在宁夏回族自治区石嘴山市生活了17年，他表示，如果可能，他将永远留在中国。

2003年，李约瑟在安提瓜和巴布达担任英语教师后前往中国。虽然他本可以选择在北京工作，但他决定去宁夏，一个充满神秘的地方，甚至对许多中国人来说也是如此。

他现在宁夏科技学院外国语系工作。他在校园里算是名人了，他的幽默和对教学的热情受到了许多学生的钦佩。

“我对这座城市的第一印象是这里的人非常友好，”李约瑟说。“我觉得这里的一切都很好，我非常喜欢在这里工作。”

他喜欢与学生交流，提高他们的英语水平，并与其他老师分享经验。

由于他对宁夏的贡献，他在2008年被授予六盘山友谊奖，这是当地政府向该地区的外国人颁发的最高荣誉。

李约瑟喜欢在假期环游中国，但他最喜欢的地方总是宁夏和这所大学。

他说，他的家人和兄弟姐妹建议他考虑退休后留在哪里。

他没有远大抱负：他说如果可以的话，他宁愿在石嘴山度过余生。
