Hi, I am Yiwei Huang, and Qiqi Huang is my daughter. She told me that she appreciated the life of the countryside and has drawn such a picture as a gift for wonderful Wilson family. She was 11 years old in 2024. Dear Kathabela wrote splendid words with lines for me to fill in, and this was the first time I heard about cherita! I learned mathematics and I’d like to create words that sound unusual but still make much sense. I hope what I wrote could be a stronger expression of love and thought.
