称呼Dear friend,

P1I am writing to recommend one of my favorite movies, Forrest Gump, which I believe you will enjoy just as much as I do.

P2The film follows a kind man from childhood to old age through several decades of American history. What touches me most is his perseverance and honesty: despite all the difficulties in his life, he never gives up and treats everyone with warmth. The story is both funny and moving, and the leading actor gives a truly wonderful performance.

P3I sincerely hope you can watch it. I am sure it will inspire you, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

称呼Dear international students,

P1On behalf of the Students’ Union, I warmly welcome you to our university, and I am writing to offer some suggestions for your campus life.

P2First, our library provides a quiet study space and a rich collection of books, so do apply for a library card as soon as possible. Besides, joining student clubs is a wonderful way to make friends and practice your Chinese. Finally, the campus canteen serves delicious local food at very low prices.

P3We hope you will enjoy your time here. Please turn to the Students’ Union whenever you need any help.

落款Yours sincerely,

称呼Dear club members,

P1I am writing to recommend a book for our club’s next reading session: The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway.

P2The novel tells the story of an old fisherman who fights a giant fish far out at sea. Although he returns with nothing but a skeleton, his courage and determination never fail to inspire me. The language is simple yet powerful, and the theme of perseverance makes it well worth discussing together.

P3I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I did. Let us meet and share our thoughts at the session.

落款Yours,
Li Ming

称呼Dear Paul,

P1Thank you for your email and for your interest in the craft-making demonstration. I am glad to tell you more about it.

P2We have invited several young craftsmen to show their innovative work, such as bamboo weaving, paper cutting and clay figurines. They will not only display their pieces but also teach visitors simple hands-on skills. Since you are willing to help, you could assist in guiding the visitors and preparing the materials in advance.

P3It would be great to have you on the team. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

落款Yours,
Li Ming

称呼Dear Paul,

P1I am so glad that you like the handwritten letters I posted. They really are priceless memories of Chinese families.

P2These letters were written decades ago by parents and children who studied or worked far from home. Before phones became popular, they kept in touch by writing about daily life, missing each other, and giving warm encouragement. Right now, a selection of them is on public display at the city museum, and the exhibition will run until the end of next month.

P3I would love to go and see them with you. Let me know if you are free this weekend.

落款Yours,
Li Ming
