Last night I got a phone call from an old student I taught about 26 years ago at Chiehshow Junior High (介壽國中). When he told me he was Peng, Guang-ren (彭光仁), I cried out his name in disbelief and joy.
I taught Guan-ren for one year when he was in 7th grade, a quiet and hard-working student. What I remember about him best was his kindness. When he was in his 1st year of senior high school, I was teaching 9th graders, who were facing the high school entrance exam. As their homeroom teacher, every evening I had to accompany them at school studying until 9:30. I was pregnant then. At some nights, upon stepping out of the school, I would see Guang-ren, who lived across the street form the school, standing at the gate to his apartment building, with a glass of water in his hand. The water is for me! Knowing I must be thirsty after a long evening's stay in school, he generously showed his consideration. I was soooo touched! His act of kindness has been etched in my heart since then. How could I forget such a nice student?
Guang-ren is studying Chinese medicine now at Beijing Medical School for his master degree, and is going to graduate in 2 years. I believe that with a kind heart, he will be one of the best doctors.
