For an Unforgettable Memory —— In Memory of Teacher Lin Da, a Recitation Promoter

Yesterday, I saw a message from Teacher Li Ning on WeChat, and mentioned that I would visit Teacher Lin Daida with friends from Qingdao. The situation is critical and my life is at stake. I was shocked. I quickly asked the teacher, and Miss Gao replied in the evening, only to learn that Miss Lin was seriously ill, and I was deeply saddened. At this point, Mr. Gao and I don't know that Mr. Da is no longer alive. It was only 17 hours before they went to visit.

We lost Mr. Linda forever.

Teacher Lin is the' guide' that my children and I talk about together. It was six years ago, when my children were in the first grade. One day, the school invited parents and children to listen to the' chanting class' together. That was the first time I heard the word' chanting', and it was also the first and last time I saw Teacher Lin Da.

Teacher Lin is gentle and dignified, natural and graceful, and gives us a popular lesson with humor. She recited the children's names first, taught us how to grasp the tone, length, rhythm and syllables, and finally recited a poem "Spring Dawn" for us. To me, the poem "Spring Dawn" is like nature, which is half the beautiful voice of Teacher Lin and half the beauty and feeling of reciting this form. Due to the limited time, there was only one class, and I didn't explain it in depth. But it was this short, interesting and effective introductory class that made me madly fall in love with chanting and brought my children into a new world of learning Chinese studies and China traditional culture.

Later, the children's class was used as a "chanting class" as a pilot, and in the following years, it was repeatedly recited in various activities held by the school, including chanting programs in Chinese and ancient Korean such as The Book of Songs, Papaya and Disciples Rules. The children also participated in several summer camps of Chinese studies and were exposed to traditional cultures such as chanting and calligraphy. Children also fell in love with ancient poetry through chanting, which became more interesting, easy to remember and helpful to understand.

For me in the age of no doubt, by chanting this door, I came into contact with and walked into the vast world of traditional culture. For this, I am deeply grateful to Mr. Lin. Although I don't know much about Mr. Lin, I only know him once. Through Mr. Lin, I saw the persistence, persistence and love of the teachers who promoted chanting for traditional culture.

I always thought that in the same city as Mr. Lin, there was always a chance to meet again. I don't know. I've only seen it once, and a farewell is a lifetime. At this point, the night is silent and the eyes are hazy, only to the teacher Lin said:

The future is long, go all the way!
