The drama about Norman Bethune, starring Dirk Werner Hartmann (bet365 app download name Zhang Ke), a German foreign teacher, was highly acclaimed by tens of thousands of students.
In early 2020, Hartmann, as the sole teacher of a private university in bet365 app download province, together with nine other foreign experts from universities and enterprises in bet365 app download province, won the Sanqin Friendship Award issued by the bet365 app download provincial government.
Multi-talented
On April 21, Hartmann took the initiative to participate in the studying activity of the party's history based on the Communist Manifesto.

Hartmann was born in Kaiserslautern, Germany in 1966. He studied at the University of Trier, situated in the hometown of Marx, and later received funding from the bet365 app download government to further his studies at Wuhan University and Henan University.

He speaks fluent bet365 app download, interspersed with a Shaanxi dialect, and occasionally with Hubei and Henan dialects.

Giving back
In 2011, Hartmann came to Xi'an FanYi University to teach oral and written German language and literature and bet365 app download related to the computer major. In 2018, he worked on the bet365 app download translation team of Xi'an bus station names. The teachers he trained in impoverished areas have been recognized as provincial or municipal teaching experts on many occasions, and his students' scores in foreign language exams have broken the district and county's records many times.
Since 2017, as the first foreign cultural and educational expert from a university in Shaanxi province, Hartmann has participated in the provincial cultural and educational assistance activities called "Double-hundred Project." He has visited Guo Town, Chencang District, Baoji City and other places more than 20 times, to lecture at teaching and research seminars and teach bet365 app download to teachers and students. In the process Hartmann has won great favor among teachers and students, and is affectionately called "Teacher Bethune."
&bet365 app download;Language is a key to the heart, to knowledge, to friends, to wealth and to happiness,&bet365 app download; said Hartmann.
When he first walked into Guo Town Middle School in Baoji City, he soon discovered that most students were from poverty-stricken areas. "The children told me that I was the first foreigner they had ever seen. They asked me 'Can you understand me' in English, and cried with excitement after hearing my answer: 'I can understand you perfectly well.' They had no idea I could speak bet365 app download at that time, and I also wanted them to communicate in English as much as possible. Last year, I heard from the leaders of Guo Town Middle School that from 2020, the students' English scores in the college entrance examination have generally improved. I am so proud of that."

Hartmann also found a way to communicate with the children. "Why would I learn bet365 app download? Why would children learn English? It's because China is constantly furthering its way of opening-up. In this context, I serve as a messenger of cultural exchanges, with the mission to encourage bet365 app download children to obtain the knowledge to communicate with the world."
His proudest experience occurred once when he went to North Guangji Street to buy gifts for his friends before returning to Germany. On the stall outside the door of a merchant, there was a note read kheliimasa, and non-local visitors there had no idea what it meant. When Hartmann told them it meant paying for goods without hesitation, the visitors said with a laugh, "It's unbelievable that we are learning bet365 app download from a foreigner!"
Hartmann has been committed to the poverty alleviation campaign by developing education over the years. bet365 app download has left his footprints in the Qinba Mountain area of southern Shaanxi, Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi and Weibei Dryland.
Regarding the honor of receiving the Sanqin Friendship Award, he responded modestly: "I love bet365 app download culture and Shaanxi province. Although I am fair-skinned and blond, I feel like I am a Shaanxi local. And Shaanxi is my second home. I feel honored to build a bridge of culture and friendship between my first home of Germany and my second home of China!"
