Dear Important, seeing the words is like meeting! I am Ruffin, the girl who came from northeastern Thailand to realize the "Chinese dream". In the sixth year of my bachelor's and master's degrees, I followed the teacher's careful guidance to consolidate the foundation of Chinese language step by step. Under the lights of the dormitory kitchen, there are laughter and laughter around us doing homework, the familiar taste of the cafeteria window, and the road we must pass through in class, all of which have become the warmest memories in our hearts. In fact, I still miss my alma mater a lot, if I write them all down, I'm afraid a few pages will be enough. Thank you for the warm environment and sufficient resources, thank you for your careful cultivation, and thank you for the companionship of my classmates and the support of my family, so that I can graduate with the glory of "outstanding graduates". Now that I am in my second year of doctoral studies at Sichuan University, it took some time to adapt to the new environment at first, but after getting used to it, I am very comfortable now. When I returned to school to attend the graduation ceremony last year, the smiling faces of the juniors and sisters, the familiar teachers, and the sense of intimacy seemed to have returned home. On this occasion, I wish you a happy birthday! May my alma mater get better and better; May the teachers be in good health and work smoothly; May the younger siblings improve every day. I will carry your mark and continue to move forward on the road of study, and be a "big person" who will always be proud!

No matter where I am, I have never stopped missing my alma mater, especially every moment of the big time, and those moments are in my heart one by one. I remember every warm corner of my life clearly; The crispy chicken dry pot rice on the second floor of Canteen No. 3 still tastes evocative to this day; the scene of reading at night with students in the music library; Every time after class, when I walk through the steps of the second teaching building, the sound echoes in the stairwell; There is also the familiar scenery and object on the way back to the dormitory. In particular, I would like to thank the teachers of the International Student Office, who are very efficient and have given us great help and sincere encouragement in all aspects of study, life and cultural adaptation. There are also the kind uncles and aunts in the Songlinpo International Student Dormitory, as well as the cute bird "handsome guy" raised by my uncle, which constitute my best memories. To this day, I still remember that as soon as I opened the curtains in the morning, I could see the Shimen Bridge and the busy shuttle of boats on the Jialing River, and these pictures have been engraved in my heart. With the spirit of "unity, diligence, truth-seeking, and innovation" of my alma mater, I left this important year as the head of the logistics department of a Chinese e-commerce company in Pakistan, and at the same time handled the company's translation-related business. No matter where I go in the future, Chongqing University will always be the warmest harbor in my heart. Chongqing University, I wish you a happy 96th birthday!

MAGSARJAV TSETSGEE is a Mongolian student who studied for a bachelor's degree in international education in Chinese from September 2019 to July 2024. Current work unit: Mongolia Och Gal Bayan Energy Co.,ltd.
On the occasion of your 96th birthday, I am full of joy and a little emotion, and I send you my most sincere birthday wishes! In September 2019, with a vision for the future, I rushed from the vast grassland to the mountain city of Chongqing. When I first arrived in the city, the heat wave that came to my face, like the heat emanating from a steamer, instantly enveloped me, and made me truly feel the enthusiasm of Chongqing. I dragged my luggage to take a taxi to school, but I arrived in a daze in the university town, and my dormitory was actually in Area A. Just when I was anxious and helpless, several international students took the initiative to help. They helped me rearrange the ride and escorted me all the way to the dormitory in Area A. This warmth from a foreign country moved me very much, and I am still grateful when I think about it.
After the start of school, I felt like I had stepped into a whole new world. The campus is large and there are surprises hidden in every corner. And what makes me even more fortunate is that the teachers here are gentle, kind, cheerful and optimistic. In the classroom, they use their rich knowledge to open the door to our cognitive world; In life, they are like kind elders, giving us meticulous care. I miss them all the time, the school time I spent with them. The second teaching building where we are in class carries a heavy history and is a pearl in the history of Chinese architecture. Every time I walk into that building, I am in awe. The old teachers in the school have rich teaching experience and profound knowledge. They have been sticking to their educational posts for many years, teaching carefully, patiently answering questions, and influencing students with their words and deeds, which makes me sincerely respect them. Time flew by, and before I knew it, it had been four years, and on the day I returned to China after graduation, sitting on the plane, I stared at Chongqing outside the window for a long time. From the moment the plane took off, the reluctance surged in my heart like a tide, and until the plane landed, this attachment did not dissipate.
These four years at Chongqing University were the best times of my life. Every bit here is deeply engraved in my memory and has become my most precious treasure. I am grateful to my alma mater for allowing me, a little girl from the grassland, to grow and change. Here, I met friends from different countries, learned different cultures and ways of thinking from them, and broadened my horizons. Today, I can become the head of the Mongolian side of a foreign-invested enterprise, which has a lot to do with learning Chinese. If I hadn't chosen to learn Chinese at the beginning, I wouldn't be where I am today. Learning Chinese changed the trajectory of my life. During the school holidays, I returned to China to work as a tour guide and a part-time translator. During the holidays after graduating from my junior year, I worked as a part-time translator at a company, and my efforts and responsibility were recognized by the company's leaders.
They said to me: "When you return to Chongqing, we will wait for you to come back after graduation, and you must come to our company when you come back from graduation." "Later, with my Chinese strength and enthusiasm for my work, I gradually grew from a translator to the head of the Mongolian side.
Looking back on the four years of studying at Chongqing University, this was an extremely precious time in my life. I can become who I am today without the teaching and help of my teachers. Dear alma mater, I love you! Happy 96th birthday! May you be fragrant with peach and plum in the days to come, and write another chapter!
