Monica is an American living in China. She is talking about the Chinese Spring Festival.

Chinese people have celebrated the Spring Festival (or Chinese New Year) for thousands of years!     82     Sometimes it falls in January.

For every Chinese family, it is important to prepare for the holiday before it begins. For good luck, people clean their homes, and they buy themselves new clothes. And, of course, they buy lots of food to eat during the festival, including fish, meat, fruit, and candy.     83     People put up red paper decorations on their front doors and windows.

Several days before the festival, people who live far away from their families travel home to see their family members.     84     Families prepare special holiday foods together, such as dumplings or rice cakes. And the best part? Parents and grandparents give children red envelopes (信封) with money inside!

    85     They think breaking things might bring bad luck to them. In some places on New Year’s Eve, “dragon dancers” in beautiful costurnes go from door to door, beating drums and setting off fireworks (放烟火) all night long.     86    

Even if you can’t come to China to experience this fun holiday, there are Chinese New Year celebrations all over the world. If you visit neighborhoods where Chinese people live in your country, you can enjoy the celebrations, too!

Preparing for the college entrance exam is heavy work for high school students. For Wang Weijia, who has a muscular(肌肉) illness, the challenge was especially big.

The 17-year-old boy comes from Shenyang, Liaoning Province. When he was at junior middle school, he had a serious illness. As a result, he often fell while walking. And this became more serious as he grew older.

Every night, Wang had to use a ventilator(呼吸机) while he was sleeping. To correct his bent back, he wore a rigid frame(钢架) on his upper body during the day.

Despite(尽管) all these difficulties, he refused to give in and never stopped learning. “I am fighting against the illness, and I cannot give myself up,” he said.

According to Wang’s mother, Wang got up at 5:45 am and went to bed at 11:30 pm every day during his three years at high school. Sitting down means a big challenge for Wang. Because of his illness, he always felt very tired after sitting for two classes, let alone seven or eight classes a day. But he seldom complained, and just fixed on studying.

The school gave Wang great support. To make it easier for him to take lessons, his class was arranged in the school on the first floor. And that lasted for 3 years. The school also gave his mother a job as a cleaner and offered them free rooms to live in.

Luckily, Wang’s hard efforts paid off. He was admitted into Nankai University in 2020. He decided to do something to repay the kindness he has received. So during the summer vacation, he offered free teaching on high school courses to the students from his village. He hoped to help them realize their college dreams.
