Being able to speak 11 foreign languages, 68-year-old villager Xu Xiuzhen has become a celebrity in the town of Yangshuo, an ideal travel destination in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Xu lives at the foot of Moon Mountain, where she has guided countless tourists. Her sincerity has won her the name “Mama Moon” Yangshuo, known for its Karst(喀斯特) landscape and the Lijiang River, has drawn millions of foreign tourists all over the world. The scenic town is home to many people who make a living by both farming and working as tour guides. Over the past 16 years, Xu has taught herself 11 foreign languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. In addition to making her incredibly popular, her foreign languages have made it easier for her to communicate with foreign tourists. But her success has been hard-won.
She started learning simple English phrases 16 years ago. Being illiterate(文盲的), she was unable to read grammar books, so she had to memorize each word by its sound. But Xu took every opportunity to talk to foreign tourists and tried to speak out her English. Constant(持续不断的)communication and a sense of perseverance proved effective, and she was gradually able to express herself in English.
With her command of 11 foreign languages, Xu becomes one of the busiest tour guides in Yangshuo. Her reputation attracts a large crowd of tourist everyday, especially foreign visitors, who come to meet the multilingual guide out of admiration.
Huang Yongzhong, director of Yangshuo’s tourism bureau, said Xu’s success has encouraged many farmers to follow her example. Official statistics show that 1.5 million foreign tourists visited Yangshuo in 2012, a number that has inspired local tour guides to learn foreign languages with hopes of achieving the same success as “Mama Moon”. “What ‘Mama Moon’ does is a good example of Yangshuo farmers’ shared dream---to make life better by learning new skills, ” Huang said.
