坚持初心 脚踏实地

Remain True to Original Aspiration and Have Both Feet on the Ground

从某种意义上说,我的职业生涯可以简单地被划分为两个阶段——新西兰奥克兰大学与中国复旦大学合办孔子学院前和后。2005年之前,我只是奥克兰大学一名普通的汉语教师,我在那个岗位上已经工作了十几年,有了终身教职,工作安稳,教学工作多年也很上手。但就在这一年,我被奥大任命担任新西兰第一所孔子学院的院长。从规划、筹建至今,这14年中面对一个全新的领域,面对各种挑战,我和我们整个团队团结一心.在新中两国各方支持下,踏踏实实做好每一件“小事”,成就了一份让我、让团队每个人足以骄傲的大事业。

In some sense,my professional career can be simply divided into two stages:before and after the establishment of the Confucius Institute in Auckland by the University of Auckland(New Zealand)and Fudan University(Shanghai).Before 2005,I was just an ordinary Chinese teacher at the University of Auckland.Having worked on that post for more than 10 years,I obtained the tenure and was quite skillful at teaching.However,it was in this year that I was appointed as the director of the first Confucius Institute in New Zealand by the University of Auckland.Since its planning and establishment,for 14 years,I have been confronted with various challenges in a totally new area.United with my team as one,we have attended to every"little thing"with the support from various parties of New Zealand and China and achieved something significant that makes me and others in the team proud.
