Wu Zhicheng

"Where are you from?"  

International student Abdullah

"We are from Yemen. Jingzhou is beautiful, and I really like it."  

Meet 70-year-old Wu Zhicheng—Jingzhou’s viral "Grandpa English"! With nothing but grit and a smartphone, this self-taught language wizard has become his hometown’s unofficial ambassador, dazzling visitors with his infectious enthusiasm.  

International student Hassan Fahd:

"Jingzhou’s culture is nice and long, especially dragon boats! The activities are exciting. It’s a nice place—I’m so happy working here."  

Wu Zhicheng: "Chu Culture is amazing! Visit the Ancient City Wall, the museum, and the Chu King’s Horse Pit!"  

No teacher? No problem! Wu conquered English through sheer determination—repeating lessons on three apps, even during bus rides.  

Wu Zhicheng: "These apps help anyone learn! Listen—‘This world always has more springs to offer.’"  

From stumbling blocks to springboards—Wu proves it’s never too late to learn, connect, and shine!
