In 2019, a white-haired senior（长者；老人）was awarded the Friendship Medal, China's highest order of honour for foreigners. It was Isabel Crook. In her over a century long life, she spent more than 90 years in China and educated a large number of foreign language students for China.
In 1915, Isabel was born to a Canadian family in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. After graduating from the University of Toronto in 1938, Isabel couldn't wait to return to China. In 1948, she finished her studies and accepted the invitation to stay in China for language teaching. From then on, Isabel started her journey of education in China.
One could hardly imagine the teaching conditions during a war. Isabel tried every way for mobile teaching. She asked her students to take small chairs so that she could give classes all over the place. She used different teaching methods to suit students' different language levels. Without enough teaching materials, she could only collect articles from English newspapers and magazines. In spoken English teaching, Isabel asked students to watch her in a given conversation first. Since there were no tape recorders at school, she had to perform the conversation again and again.
Isabel retired in 1981, but she returned
