From abandoned baby to CEO

In order to teach Judy Chinese well, Sun Xue consulted a lot of teaching methods on the Internet.

However, Sun Xue felt that these methods looked good, but were a bit conventional, time-consuming and laborious.

She suddenly thought of the way she learned English before going abroad.

Since this method is suitable for learning English, it should also be suitable for learning Chinese.

She thought that she should first develop Judy's sense of language, let her speak Chinese sentences fluently, and then go back and teach her pinyin and Chinese characters. Wouldn't this be more effective?

As soon as this idea came to her mind, Sun Xue immediately summarized the one hundred most frequently used sentences in daily life.

On the first day, Sun Xue taught Judy the names of her family members and a few simple greetings.

Sun Xue took Judy to her garden and taught her to open her mouth wide and imitate the sentences loudly and quickly.

Sun Xue was worried that Judy would not be able to adapt to this learning method. What she didn't expect was that Judy was so humble and very motivated and enthusiastic in learning.

Judy studied hard according to Sun Xue's instructions.

In the small garden outside the villa, Judy, who is in her fifties, holds a small notebook with Chinese sentences written on it in one hand, waves her other hand high, and reads aloud quickly following Sun Xue.

Judy's husband sat aside, watching the two crazy people with interest.

Although it was only a short hour, Judy cherished it very much.

When Judy read sentences that were not standard, she would ask Sun Xue for help and imitate her over and over again without getting tired of it.

Sun Xue admires Judy's learning attitude and humble spirit very much.

She thought Judy was just learning it casually, but she didn't expect Judy to be so serious.

A week later, Sun Xue's efforts paid off. With her careful guidance, Judy could fluently speak more than a dozen standard Chinese sentences.

Judy herself also feels very accomplished.

She never thought that at her age, she could learn a new language and speak Chinese in just one week.

This made her so happy that she even called her relatives and friends to show off.

Sun Xue's unique learning method achieved unexpected results.

So she took advantage of the situation and decided to increase the daily tutoring time from one hour to two hours.

Judy is deeply grateful for this.

In order to repay Sun Xue, she knew that Sun Xue was pregnant and suggested that Sun Xue come to her house for dinner every day after school.

Judy is basically in retirement now. She writes and reads books every day and occasionally participates in activities.

Life is very comfortable. I have freedom in time and finance, so I have plenty of free time.

The happiest thing for her every day now is to look forward to Sun Xue's arrival.

She would prepare a large table of sumptuous meals and the whole family would sit around them.

During the meal, she would chat with Sun Xue about literature, creation, her own life, and life.

A dinner usually takes one hour, and it is this hour every day that benefits Sun Xue a lot.

Sun Xue learned that Judy had been publishing her works in various newspapers and magazines since junior high school, and that she studied at the famous Faculty of Arts at Cambridge University.

During college, he published two novels every year.

To date, his creative career has spanned nearly forty years.

She is also the most prolific and hardworking writer in Country E. She has published more than 80 books, most of which are novels, but she also dabbles in poetry, prose, and nonfiction.

What surprised Sun Xue even more was that Judy won the highest literary award in Country E at the age of 30, and has won almost all the major literary awards in the country.

She is also an honorary professor at many universities in China, including her alma mater, Cambridge University.

After listening to Judy's story, Sun Xue finally realized what Bach had said to her.

Only then did she realize how lucky she was.

Not only did she feel a little grateful to Matthew, but if it weren't for that learning opportunity, she would never have the chance to meet Judy in her life, let alone sit with her for dinner every day, talk about literature freely, and ask her any questions anytime and anywhere.

During a dinner together, the two talked about novels again. Judy learned that Sun Xue had also written a detective suspense novel, and Judy encouraged Sun Xue.

"Sun Xue, as far as I know, there is no Chinese novel of this kind that has an international influence. Since you like this kind of work, you can delve deeper into this kind of work and write an influential work."

This work by Sun Xue was also the first subject she tried to write when she participated in the online competition.

It was precisely because there were relatively few online writers writing on this subject at the time that she became a dark horse.

Looking back at the works she wrote at that time, they were still very immature.

During the days when she was tutoring Judy in Chinese, Judy gave her many of her own works.

After reading Judy's detective suspense novels, she realized how big the gap was between her own work and that of the master.

"Teacher, I have seen your work and found that there is a huge gap between my work and yours."

Judy encouraged him with a smile: "You have only written one work, so it is impossible for you to reach my level. Do you know how many obscure works I wrote before I wrote a best-selling work?"

"How much?" Sun Xue was a little surprised.

"There are at least three of them, with millions of words in total. The ones I'm giving you are my best works."

"profound."

Sun Xue listened quietly, thinking: "Teacher, do you mean that I wrote too little?"

Judy nodded and continued, "Whether you are talented or not, diligence is the basic quality of every great writer. Keep turning the stories and ideas in your heart into words, learn, think, and constantly deny in the process of creation. Only then can you make progress, and quantitative change will lead to qualitative change."

"I understand, teacher."

"Sun Xue, feel free to write boldly. If you encounter any problems during your creation, we can discuss and exchange ideas together."

Judy said this very modestly, but her words gave Sun Xue a shot in the arm, allowing her to have bigger goals in her creative path.

Create works that have international influence.

Moreover, with the guidance of master Judy, she would be more confident.

So, she followed Judy's advice and prepared to write a detective suspense novel, intending to delve deeper into this field.

Judy suggested that Sun Xue read through all her works of this type first and then put forward her own understanding of the works.

Then Judy interpreted her work to her again, including the style, creative background, structure, etc., and then let Sun Xue start creating her own work.

When Sun Xue heard this, she felt that this was equivalent to Judy teaching her step by step. For a writer, such an opportunity was like standing on the shoulders of giants.

Sun Xue told Bach the news, and Bach looked incredulous.

"Did Judy really say that?"

Sun Xue nodded proudly in agreement.

"Sun Xue, you are so lucky, the pie in the sky seems to have fallen on you!"

Bach looked envious.
