有朋自遠方來、不亦樂乎? 回複：一個來自非洲的朋友

有朋自遠方來、不亦樂乎?

Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned?
Isn't it also great when friends visit from distant places?
If one remains not annoyed when his greatness is not recognized in his time, isn't he a sage?

Different than that my doctor friend with his wife went to Africa for a benefit medical tour in last may, I made A GOOD FRIEND who is from Ghana, --see how how close this name with that of China,right in my own city.
Ali started studying English at 15, now his vocabulary is better than an average American. In the past 15 years he drove taxi in NYC, married with a black woman and divorced later, he has two sons with him, moved here for a better educational opportunity for the lower tuition.
Here is a touching scene:
Under the down-pouring thunder storm, he drenched his clothes to look for me, for I confused his apartment with another one, he was eager to go with me while I told him to make a change.Then we went to work on my writing project. He transcribed my dictation, I found one of my mispronunciation. He will stay longer for he is going to enrol into a college. To become an ambassador to the US, this idea sparks in his mind.
The North America continent was connected to the African. But for a Chinese to meet him, I could not dream when I was a kid.
