近日，伯明翰学院收到学院马拉维籍英语教师Matalinah Mwamlima的一封感谢信。感谢伯明翰学院和纺大社区在疫情期间对她的关怀和照顾，同时表达了对中国政府和人民在疫情期间作出努力的高度赞扬。
A letter from Matalinah Mwamlima:
My name is Matalinah Mwamlima, I am from Malawi and currently I am an English teacher at BIFCA.
When the Corona virus had been discovered in Wuhan, I was still in this city. I started protecting myself by not going out as much as I used to before, I would order my groceries online and made sure I wore a mask when going outside, this was before the lockdown. When the lockdown in Wuhan had officially been announced it was a little scary for me because that meant I could not leave and go back home.
After the lockdown I made sure to stock up on some basic necessities like food and toiletries. It wasn’t too bad because I am introverted and I like staying at home anyway. I think it was a necessary action to have the lock down to help curb the spread of the virus.
When the communities were further closed down I didn’t know how I would get my supplies but to my surprise a lot of my colleagues went out their way to check up on me and would give me a lot of help. Soon the community leaders came door to door to check on the residents' health and even took my contact information. I was later put in contact with other teachers who were helping to buy all the necessities, all I had to do was tell them. Most of my friends and colleagues have been very positive and supportive, which makes me feel very encouraged. I didn’t feel like I was alone in these tough times, they have been very kind to me and kept me hopeful. There were also a lot of times when I got free food like fresh vegetables, delivered right at my doorstep. I personally commend the actions taken by the Chinese Government in fighting against the COVID-19 and the help it has given to its people and even a foreigner like me, is quite admirable.
This outbreak although has brought much suffering and pain, however the medical staff and volunteers are the heroes in this story, it was indeed very beautiful to see the selflessness of these people. They stepped up to the occasion took on a great responsibility and deserve to be applauded and awarded for their priceless sacrifices. I am very grateful and I hope they receive many blessings in this life.
In short I appreciate what the Chinese government did, supporting its citizens in many ways and especially a lot of health personnel come to Wuhan the epicenter of the outbreak and helping to treat the people, all of which was completely free for the patients, and we can see the fruits of their effort as things are turning positive once more. We should all keep a positive attitude and keep cheering for the medical staff and volunteers, as well as each other, here in China and also all over the World.

我叫Matalinah Mwamlima，我来自马拉维，目前是武汉纺织大学伯明翰时尚创意学院的一名英语教师。
当新型冠状病毒在武汉出现的时候，我还待在这里。我开始通过不像以前那样经常出门来保护自己，我会在网上订购物品，出门时确保戴上口罩，那是在封锁之前的时候。当武汉正式宣布封闭时，我有点害怕，因为这意味着我不能离开，不能回家。
当社区被进一步关闭时，我不知道如何获取生活用品，但令我惊喜的是，学院的很多同事特意来察看我的情况，并给我提供了许多帮助。很快，社区领导挨家挨户地检查居民的健康状况，还记下了我的联系方式。后来我和其他老师取得了联系，他们帮我买了所有的必需品，我所要做的仅仅就是告诉他们。我的大多数朋友和同事都很乐观并且给予了我很多支持，这让我感到很受鼓舞。在这些艰难的日子里，我并不感到孤独，他们对我很好，让我充满希望。还有很多次我得到了免费的食物，比如新鲜的蔬菜，都是送货上门。我个人而言，中国政府在打击新型冠状病毒的斗争中所采取的行动，对中国人民的帮助，甚至对像我这样的外国人的帮助，都是令人钦佩的。
这次爆发虽然带来了很多的灾难和痛苦，但是医护人员和志愿者是这件事中的英雄，我们看到这些人确实非常无私。他们在这个情况下承担了巨大的责任，他们作出的无价的牺牲值得被赞扬和奖励。我很感激，我希望他们在这一生中得到许多祝福。
总之我很感激中国政府的作为，他们在许多方面支持着公民，很多医疗卫生人员来到疫情爆发的中心武汉帮助治疗，所有的病人是完全免费看病的，我们可以看到各方面都在做出努力并且事情也正在向积极的一面发展。我们都应该保持积极的态度，不断为医护人员和志愿者加油，为中国乃至世界的每一个人加油。
