Iranian engineer in Wuhan | 在武汉的伊朗工程师

　　"In 2018, President Xi inspected the FiberHome Telecommunication Technologies Company. As an employee of FiberHome, I feel very proud." Majid Azizi, an Iranian, has been a senior technology lecturer at FiberHome for five years. He says FiberHome's work is both interesting and challenging. He feels at home at the cutting edge of innovation.

　　“习近平主席2018年考察过烽火科技集团，作为烽火员工，我感到非常自豪。”伊朗人马吉在烽火科技担任高级技术讲师已有五年。他说，烽火的工作有趣也有挑战。在科技创新高地，他找到家的感觉。本期，一起听听他的故事。

　　“武汉人的合作、友好精神让人佩服”

　　Azizi first came to Wuhan as an exchange student in 2013 to pursue a degree in computer science and technology at the Central China Normal University. After completing his undergraduate studies in 2015, he went on to pursue a master's degree in computer science and technology at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

　　2013年，马吉作为交换生首次来到武汉，在华中师范大学攻读计算机科学与技术学位，2015年完成本科学习后又在华中科技大学继续攻读本专业硕士学位。

　　At the school, Azizi was deeply moved by the friendliness of Wuhan people. "I have studied and worked in several overseas countries before, but honestly, I didn't feel that I was being appreciated in those countries." However, in Wuhan, the Chinese teachers who were in charge of foreign students always took good care of them. If they had any problems, the teachers would promptly help them. They would also give them suggestions about life and studying. He was also impressed that all the facilities at the university were well maintained and arranged in an orderly fashion, including restaurants and sports grounds.

　　初来乍到，武汉人 友好的态度深深打动了马吉。“我之前也在几个海外国家学习工作过，但说实在，在那些国家没有这种感受。”马吉举例，分管外国留学生的中国老师们对他们一直非常照顾，留学生有什么问题，老师们都会第一时间帮助解决，也会在生活和学习上给大家提出中肯的建议。大学里餐厅、操场等硬件设施一应俱全，维护良好，一切都井然有序，这也给他留下了深刻印象。

　　享受工作成就感

　　Upon graduation with a master's degree in 2017, Azizi received a job offer from FiberHome as a technology lecturer.

　　2017年硕士毕业时，马吉收到了烽火的工作邀请，成为烽火科技的技术讲师。

　　Azizi's first day at work was not a good experience. Due to excitement and nervousness, he did not sleep much the night before. As a result, when his supervisor and colleagues assigned him work, Azizi was drowsy and sleepy. He worried a lot about his performance when the day was over.

　　马吉第一天的工作体验并不怎么好，因为兴奋和紧张，马吉上班头一天没怎么睡觉，结果第二天主管和同事们跟他热情介绍工作，马吉却昏昏沉沉，只想睡觉。事后马吉觉得很懊恼，担心自己第一天表现不够好。

　　Fortunately, FiberHome's friendly environment calmed Azizi down. "At FiberHome, the daily and monthly work is arranged for everyone in advance. My colleagues are also very experienced and willing to help me and guide me unconditionally." Azizi said that they use both Chinese and English at work and enhance their cooperation and friendship through various team activities.

　　好在烽火友好包容的环境很快让马吉安定了下来。“在烽火，每天、每月的工作都会提前安排好给大家。我的同事们也都很有经验，愿意无条件地帮助我，指导我。” 马吉介绍，工作中大家会中英文夹杂使用，也会通过各种团建活动增进大家的感情。

　　After two years of learning from experienced colleagues, Azizi began to complete projects independently at the end of 2018. His first project was to instruct Thai customers on how to operate and maintain a batch of equipment. Azizi followed up this project for a month and finally received satisfactory feedback from the customers. "When I talk to them, I can feel their happiness and satisfaction."

　　在跟着有经验的同事学习两年后，2018年底马吉开始独立完成项目，接到的第一个项目就是面对面指导来烽火的泰国客户如何使用和维护一批设备。这个项目马吉跟进了一个月，最后客户的反馈也非常积极。“当我与他们面对面交谈时，可以感受到他们的高兴和满意。”

　　"I get a great sense of accomplishment from working hard, having improvements in my professional skills every day, and enjoying recognition from my colleagues and clients," said Azizi.

　　马吉说，“努力工作，每天在专业上得到进步，得到同事和客户的认同和满意，从中我收获到了巨大的成就感。”

　　家在心归处

　　Azizi has noticed that Wuhan is becoming more and more high-tech with its ubiquitous free Internet coverage in public places and wide 5G technology applications. "I'm very proud that I am a witness to the development of FiberHome in my professional domain."

　　马吉特别留意到武汉近年来公共场所几乎无处不在的免费网络覆盖和5G技术的普遍运用。这座城市的高科技感越来越足。“在我的职业领域，我也见证着烽火欣欣向荣。我非常骄傲。”

　　In his spare time, Azizi spends some time every day on his major. He said that the updating of the communication industry's knowledge base and technology is running at a fast pace. As a technical engineer, he also needs to constantly study and brush up his knowledge and skills. In the future, he hopes to pursue a PhD in his field.

　　工作之余，马吉每天都要花一些时间在本专业上。他说，通讯行业的知识和技术更新迭代迅速，作为技术人员也需要时刻充电，不断更新自己的知识和技术水平。未来有机会，他希望进一步攻读本专业的博士。

　　Azizi said Wuhan has become his home. "Sometimes you feel lonely in a foreign country. But eventually, you will find someone who understands you, and I guess that's what home is all about. Wuhan is my home; here are my friends and my teachers. It's hard to say why, but it's something I feel in the depth of my heart."

　　马吉说，武汉已经成为自己的家。“在国外，有时你会感到孤独。但最终，你会找到一个理解你的人，我想这就是家的意义所在。武汉是我的家，这里有我的朋友，还有我的老师们。很难说为什么，但它是你发自内心的感觉。”
