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。

I caught up with other runners soon
