Eversince I set foot here in China, teaching, my students have been asking me whether I have an account in QQ, a Chinese site for chatting and so on like MSN, Yahoo Messenger, etc. It’s a big surprise that even primary students have it. I didn’t expect them to have one. As I asked them why, they just plainly reply, it’s part of the fads here in China. I sadly said, I absolutely don’t have one because naturally, I don’t know how to read and write Chinese. So they were a bit disappointed.
I was just surprised one afternoon (Saturday – April 5), three of my students from my junior high class followed me to the office and even to my computer table during the break, then asked me if I want to have a QQ number. I don’t understand that and don’t know what to do with that, I said. They gladly replied that they’re going to open it for me. I told them I can’t read and write their language but they responded they’re going to change it to English. Yes, they did! We successfully made it. I got one. This is my QQ number, 895296809. They gladly shared my number to their classmates and they were very happy. They even wrote it to the board. At long last, they said, you have an account now.
Thanks for the concern and sensitivity of my students. They really want to chat with me. Well, now that I have my account, I guess I would be very busy chatting with these people. But I would be glad to. Hope to chat and see you in QQ soon. Enjoy your day.
