The 18-year-old deliveryman(快遞員) Mao Zhaomu first hit the headlines(頭條) in March after sending a text message in English to one of his customers, a student in Sichuan International Studies University.

“Hello, your phone was power off when I called you. Your meal have been put by me on the vending machine(自動(dòng)售貨機(jī)). Please carry it home after you see the message. Thank you. Have a pleasant meal.” Surprised to receive a message in English from a deliveryman, the student posted a screenshot(屏幕截圖) of it on Weibo. The post soon was viral, and more and more people got to know him.

Mao later explained he just wanted to practice his language skills at that time, and was sure that all SISU students would understand.

One year ago, after dropping out of school, Mao worked as a deliveryman for a restaurant near the SISU. He also got a job at a nearby restaurant to “talk with foreigners”. In order to keep his dream of learning English alive, Mao chatted in English-language groups online every day after finishing work.

He was inspired to continue his language education by his former English teacher. “My English teacher was also a self-taught exam student,” Mao said, “I believed I can do that, too.”

Early last month, Mao stopped delivering food and concentrated(專心) on preparations for the examination and college application(申請(qǐng)).

Finally, his efforts paid off. He received his admission(錄取) letter from SISU on August 10. “Now, when I walk in SISU, I am not a deliveryman, but a student.” Mao said.
