"我家有个老学生" by 李光福 Li Guang Fu

 This is a Chinese book called '我家有个老学生，There is an old student in my home'.  It's about a granny who wants to go to a school for old folks and resume her studies.  The granny's granddaughter overhears the conversation between her grandmother and her parents. The granddaughter's parents don't    want the granny to go but she keeps on saying that she already signed up for it. Furthermore,  the parents are afraid that because of her old age, she might suddenly become tired and they  are concerned about her well being.

  But the parents reluctantly allow her to go and the the father drives her there. The granny is persevering and everyday, consistently revise her work and never gives up. Until one day, the granny did not come home! The father calls the girl ( the grand-daughter) to ask whether the granny has come  home yet and she says no but the father says that he has been waiting for her and she hasn't come out of the school  The father comes home but without the granny! Will the granny come home or not? You have to read to find out! But is that the end? Oh no, it isn't. The girl learns an important lesson from the granny in the end to never give up when things seem tough.

I really enjoy reading this book as it encourages me to never give up in my studies and reminds me that it is never too late to pick up a new hobby and learn something new!
