Many people have said many things about Yungsi Ernest. Sean Simpson, a British ESL teacher with Web International, Dalian, who has worked with Ernest for many years said, "As a teacher, Ernest makes you want to sit up and listen.As a writer, he will make you want to keep on reading."
Sean wasn't even aware how many people share his opinion but Ms Sun Mecong, a Chinese national and lecturer in Dongbei University of Economics and Finances confided that she is scared of talking on the phone while driving, "but Ernest is the only person I talk to (or listen to) on the phone when I am driving."
Miss Susanah Wenge, a biology teacher in Huiwen Middle school, Dalian, doesn't drive a car but she understands the value of having Ernest around the bilingua teachers' office of the school because she said, "he has been a great help to me and the entire staff of huiwen middle school, sometimes even stopping to help students with steps in a dance routine."
What relationship does the above lady have with an african American, who lives in Shanghai upon whose personality the character of Randal in "to immigrate or to live happily ever?" was based? None at all but Randy certainly knew what he was saying when he wrote, "I was a bit envious and in wonderment of Ernest. Here I was, an African American thinking that I had this unique experience to tell the world, complaining how difficult it was for me to get a job and have a life in China. Then here comes Ernest from Cameroon; respectfully, a less developed country, doing it, living the life and not complaining, and succeeding! He is a celebrity figure in Dalian. He is a testament to the human spirit as a whole.
Although we differ in some areas of ideas, he changed my life and perception of what it means to be a person, instead of what it means to be a black person. This guy is truly phenomenal. If you meet him he will change your life too. I bet my life on it."
