Should

famous

Chinese

sites

of

historical

interest

charge

higher

fees

during peak travel seasons?

Nowadays

，

with

the

rapid

development

of

tourism

industry,

it

has

become

popular

for

quite

some

people

to

travel

at

vacation

after

a

long

period

of

heavy

load

of

working.

They

come

to

some

historical

sites

to

relax themselves. At the same time, holiday is the busiest travel times of

the year. Generally speaking, the famous Chinese sites of historical interest

will

charge

higher

fees

during

the

time.

Recently,

a

controversial

viewpoint

towards

historic

sites'

higher

charge

that

whether

such

action

will hurt citizen's sentiment. My opinion is that it's worth charging higher

fees.

First

of

all,

I

firmly

believe

that

it

is

necessary

to

charge

higher

fees.

People could understand the meaning of life and the permanent value from

these

measures,

then

they

will

change

their

thinking

style

of

study

and

work.

Historical

sites

let

people

realize

death

is

not

far

away

and

we

should not waste our life.

Moreover,

when

parents

take

their

children

to

the

historic

interest,

the

children can learn knowledge of history rather than just playing there. At

the same time they receive education. In fact

，

I think it is meaningful to

go to Chinese sites of historical interest than to the playground.

Last

but

not

least,

historical

sites'

complete

preservation

needs

a

large

1 / 1

amount

of

money.

In

order

to

make

our

historical

sites

exist

forever,

we

should pay higher fees.

To sum up, it's no doubt that historical sites charge higher fees

in

tourism

season.

We

should

undertake

the

responsibility

of

protecting

historical sites and our environment, meanwhile we should be aware that

the meaning of life is not from birth to death but making contribution to

society.

Are

dialects

just

as

acceptable

in

public

places?

范

China

’

s

State

Administration

of

Radio

Film

and

Television

(SARFT)

recently

issued

a

notice

banning

domestic

radio

and

TV

stations

from

translating

foreign

radio

and

TV

programmes

into

any

local

dialect.

The

notice said that such dialect translation contradicts the national initiative

to

promote

Putonghua,

or

Mandarin,

around

the

country.

Foreign

programmes

that

have

been

translated

into

dialects

must

be

removed

from

television

and

radio

immediately.

The

notice

evoked

a

mixed

response

from

experts

and

audio

and

video

producers,

as

well

as

the

general

public.

Many

voiced

their

concerns

that

local

dialects

would

be

fornidden in public places. Mandarian, which means

is the country

’

s predominant language and is widely used by more than 70

percent of the population. However, local dialects still enjoy popularity for

relatively less-educated people in some occasions. The dialects do make

1 / 1

unique

role

and

should

be

tolerated

for

existence

in

public

places.

Though promoted widely in public places, dialects are acceptable in

public places. First, it is more than a mere tool for communication. It is,

most

importantly,

the

messenger

of

its

respective

culture.

If

the

dialect

was

eliminated

from

daily

use,

the

culture

will

be

broken.

Second,

Mandarian

can

absorb

the

elite

part

of

local

dialect

to

enrich

its

vocabulary

and

usage.

This

is

the

perfection

of

Mandartian

from

thousands of years blend and contact. The dialects can also be popular in

the public. Along with the famous short play by comic actors in NE China,

the

local

dialect

came

into

the

spotlight,

and

enjoyed

more

popularity

throughout China. Such a cultural phenomenon represents the audience

an attitude to local dialects which cater to the taste of the majority. Third,

dialect is the only mean of communication to some undereducated local

people.

If

local

dialects

are

forbidden

in

the

public

places,

they

can

not

communicate.

To sum up, local dialects should be tolerated in public places for its

unique

role

which

Mandarian

can

not

substitute.

We

should

guartee

its

survival

because

dialects

stand

for

our

spiritual

land.

From

a

long-term

perspective, dialects should not and would not be wiped out. There is no

need

for any purposeful and deliberate attempt to protect dialects. Just

let dialects take their natural course. The best way to protect a dialect is

to use it in daily life and pass it down from generation to generation.

What I Have Learned From My Years at University

The development of an individual human existence can be divided into

several important stages. But no period can be more influential upon the

later

course

of

our

life

than

the

years

we

have

experienced

in

college.

Here is the cradle of intelligentsia with vision, mission and passion. And

now, as I am ready to leave campus and face the real world, I dare say

that

no

other

place

can

teach

me

more.

I am very proud that in university I have learnt how important it is

for

one

to

have

vision,

that

ability

to

see

ahead

of

time

and possibly

others. College has raised me up, so that I could enjoy a broader view of

the world. University Library, the sanctuary of mind always keeps me in a

close

touch

with

the

great

thoughts

of

giants,

Shakespeare,

Russell,

Churchill,

Roosevelt,

to

name

only

a

few.

All these

overwhelmingly

famous names have turned familiar and friendly here. These great minds

teach me how to live a meaningful life. They warn me that the last but

greatest

enemy

for

mankind

is

human

existence

itself.

Their

words

of

wisdom shall guide and guard me to overcome all the obstacles beset in

the

course

of

my

life.

In

the

light

of

this

statement,

I

have

to

say

that

college

years

have

brightened

1 / 1

up

my

vision.

It is at university that I have acquired an added understanding of the

meaning

of

mission

i.e.

man

should

have

shoulders

strong

enough

to

take more responsibilities of the time. College has enriched me, so that I,

to

some

extent,

have

discovered

the

truth

to

live

by. When

I

was

a

sophomore, I was chosen a volunteer for the Red Cross Institution. My

job, then, was to assist the doctor with the blood collecting in a blood

donation car on the street. Those days bestowed me with a moving but a

little bit singular picture, in which the painful injection and hearty smile

are

perfectly

and

beautifully

combined.

Every

parcel

of

blood

means

a

piece

of

hope,

through

which

I

see

that

the

possession

of

life

lies

in

sharing.

This

is

how

college

years

have

defined

my

mission.

It is after some years at university that I have better apprehended

Toynbee when he said,

“

Glory belongs to those who are actually in the

arena, fighting passionately whilst showing every now and then mistakes

or

shortcomings.

”

I

have

understood

the

spirit

of

transcending

myself,

sometimes

even

in

a

crazy

way.

If

youth

is

the

freshness

of

the

deep

springs of life, then college must be the fountain of passion. It cheers in

the chaos of gym; it hides in the silence of lab. During the college years, I

never

stopped

pursuing

my

own

dream,

because

I

never

fail

to

be

inspired

by

the

flowing

current

of

young

passion.

Lawrence

H.

Summers,

former

President

of

Harvard

said

in

his

farewell

speech,

“

College

graduates,

capable

of

deep

reflections

are

what the world needs.

”

Living in a world of madding crowd, a group, or

1 / 1

even a small group of people are expected to remain transcendental and

sober.

If

any

can

live

up

to

so

high

a

standard

of

existence,

college

graduates can. And I am fortunate in being among them at this moment

and having spared little time cultivating my vision, mission and passion in

the past four years. With these, I have better courage to change myself

and most probably better preparation for my future.

Financial Disparity: Not a Barrier for Friendship

With the development of market economy in China arise the income

gaps between people working in different fields: some earn good money;

some

make

ends

meet;

some

others

live

on

narrow

means.

On

top

of

many

social

problems

this

financial

disparity

may

cause

there

is

a

claim

that it affects friendship. The assumption seems reasonable but we may

find it does not really hold water by taking a close look into the subject.

First

of

all

true

and

lasting

friendship

is

built

on

common

values

pursuits

or

hobbies

rather

than

similar

incomes.

Friends

are

those

who

agree

with

your

life

views

and

stick

to

the

some

principles

those

who

encourage

you

when

you

lack

confidence

in

meeting

challenges

and

pursuing

your

dream

or

those

who

share

your

interests

and

appreciate

your tastes. Indeed what strengthens these emotional bonds between you

and

your

pals

is

not

the

same

amount

of

wealth

but

spiritual

commonalities.

Of

financial

backgrounds
