Southern Xinjiang 南疆, Kashgar City 喀什市, an oasis on the old Silk Road, guarding the western entrance to the Middle Kingdom.
Over one year of meetings, re meetings, cancelled meetings, followed by discussions, negotiations, cross checking of backgrounds, we met our 188 students, finally. They are all Uyghurs 維吾爾族 but we spoke the same language, listened to and sang the same 海闊天空. We also shared the same enthusiasm about getting to know each other.
When it came to part, they waived their good-byes from all sides of the school and expressed their most sincere wish that we shall meet again.
Not one dry eye at the scene! Miss them already!
南疆喀什市，古絲綢之路上的綠洲，扼守著中原大地的西陲門戶。
歷經一年多的往返溝通、會面、延期與重啟，再到反覆討論、磋商、核實與確認，我們終於見到了這188位學生。苗兒們雖是維吾爾族，但我們卻說著同一種語言；同樣熱衷於互相了解；聽著同樣的歌；唱著同樣的海闊天空。
臨別之際，彼此不捨的揮手告別，並表達了最真誠的願望：我們能再次相聚。
淚水在眼眶打轉，就是不讓它流下來！
已經開始想念他們了！
