Dear Mike,
亲爱的迈克，
It’s great to hear from you. I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese literature. The set phrase you asked me means Trying to help seedlings grow by pulling them up. There is a story behind it.
很高兴收到你的来信。知道你对中国文学感兴趣，我感到很自豪。你问我的那句俗语意思是通过拔苗助长。这背后有个故事。
A man in the Song State was anxious about the slow growth of his seedlings. One day, he went to the field and pulled them upward one by one. He came back tired and said to his family, "I’m exhausted today, for I have helped the seedlings grow much taller all at once." Hearing this, his son ran to look at the seedlings. To his horror, all of them had dried up and died.
宋国有一个人对他的幼苗生长缓慢感到焦虑。有一天，他去田里，把他们一个一个往上拉。他累了回来，对家人说："我今天累坏了，因为我一下子把秧苗长得高了许多。"儿子听到这话，跑去看秧苗。令他惊恐的是，他们全都干涸而死。
This set phrase means that growing against the law of development in things and being overanxious for quick results will make things worse.
这句话的意思是，违背事物发展规律，急于求成，会使事情变得更糟。
Looking forward to hearing from you.
期待您的回音。
Yours,
你的，
Li Hua
