How Landis Changed My Life
但我还是想讲讲我和 Landis 的故事I have been a fisherman in Qingdao for over twenty years. I want to talk to you. Me and Landis.
I first heard that name at the harbor. A young man told me. I laughed at him and said it would never happen to me. And then my son Nick told me about Landis. He’s not at home, he knows more than I do. He said I could try to get her to find me accommodation and buy it slowly. I know only half of them, but I’m interested, and I’m telling them about my case, low income, no savings, bad English. I don’t think any of them would want to teach me step by step how to prepare my documents, how to plan a budget and how to choose the place. And I didn’t understand many of them, but they weren’t angry, they patiently explained everything, and I moved into the little house. I came home every day. It wasn’t a dream.
I’m still at the pier, but now I know I have a permanent place, don’t worry about my landlord suddenly forcing me out of the house. My son came home and said that this house feels like a real home. I didn’t know what English words it should feel for me. I know that Randis has really changed my life and my family, and even those like me who often work in the Qingdao fishing zone now have a glimmer of hope for the future.
我在青岛当渔工已经二十多年了。我想和大家分享一下我与Landis的故事。我第一次听到这个名字是在码头上。一个年轻人跟我提起了它。当时我只是笑笑，觉得这种好事永远不会落到我头上。后来，我的儿子Nick也跟我提到了Landis。他在外地读书，比我懂得多。他说我可以试试，先让他们帮我找个住的地方，以后再慢慢买下来。我当时半信半疑，但还是挺感兴趣的。
我跟他们说了我的情况：收入低，没存款，英语也很差。没想到他们真的有人愿意一步一步地教我，告诉我怎么准备文件、怎么规划资金、怎么选择房子。很多单词我听不懂，但他们一点也不嫌烦，耐心地给我解释。后来，我真的搬进了那间小房子。每天回家都感觉像做梦一样。我现在还在码头工作，但现在我知道我有了稳定的住所，不用担心房东突然让我搬走。我儿子回家后说，这房子才像个真正的家。我不知道该用什么合适的英语词语来形容这种感觉。我知道Landis真的改变了我和我家人的生活。就连我这样一个普通的青岛渔工，现在也对未来有了些许希望。
