Welcome to Health Club. Here is something about it.

Zhou Huosheng is a famous teacher. He passed away at the age of 88 on February 14, 2022. He fell in a terrible illness in 2016. He is famous for his much help with Project Hope. It was started to stop the poor children from dropping out of school. He got lots of prizes for this.

When he heard Project Hope in 1993, he gave away 1,000 yuan for the first time. At that time, his monthly salary for his job was about 100 yuan. So he had to think about how to help those poor children. At last, he got the idea of selling books. He always carried books that weighed more than 10 kilos, although he was just over 40 kilos.

In 1995, Zhou visited the Hope Primary School in the mountains of Jinzhai, Anhui for the first time, after traveling over 600 kilometers by train, by bus and on foot. In the following years, he went there 100 times with donations(捐赠). On May 18, 2018, Zhou finished his 100th journey, “As long as I can move, I expect the 101st and 102nd journeys.” However, he couldn’t make the trip again because of his bad health. Zhou has given away about 500, 000 yuan, and changed over 1,300 students’ lives.

After traveling around the earth six months, the three members of China’s Shenzhou XIII returned to the earth on the morning of April 16, 2022. They set a new record by finishing the nation’s longest space flight(飞行).

At 10:03, the three astronauts were then carried out one by one and placed onto chairs to get used to the earth gravity(地心引力). The three-member team leader, Zhai Zhigang told CCTV, “I’m feeling very good. I’m very proud to tell everyone we have successfully completed the Shenzhou XIII tasks. We wish to thank everyone who cares about, supports and encourages us a lot.” Among them, Wang is the first Chinese woman to live in space station and walk in space.

They were the second to live in China’s space station. During their space life, they have carried out two space walks for over 12 hours. They did many tests and had three science lessons for Chinese students. They showed how they lived and worked. It marked the start of the Tiangong Class. It can encourage the young to follow their space dreams. They were the first to spend and celebrate Spring Festival in space. And they recorded a video to answer many students’ questions.

Peterson always got into trouble. One day, he got to know the wise man Jeff came to his city. Peterson decided to go to see him, “My life is full of all kinds of problems. Please tell me the way to solve them and live a peaceful and happy life.”

Jeff smiled and said, “There are hundreds of camels(骆驼). If all of them sit down, you can sleep.” Peterson went to do it.

The next morning. Paterson became sad, “I couldn’t even sleep for a moment. I tried a lot but I couldn’t get all the camels to sit down at a time. Some sat down themselves but some wouldn’t sit even if I try. If one sits down, another will stand up.”

Jeff smiled “Some sat because of your efforts(努力). Others wouldn’t sit even after you tried to make them sit. And then later you would find that some of them sat themselves wasting time.”

The same way if we solve a problem, we can still see another problem standing there. Problems are part of life. We should learn to face them in a peaceful heart.

In the train, two kids were making much noise by jumping on the seats and running here and there. Their father was sitting nearby quietly. When kids stopped to look at him, he would reply with a smile. At last, all the passengers got angry with them and their father.

Then one of the travelers came to the father, “Your children are making so much trouble for others and you don’t stop them but encourage them by smiling. You should let them know how to do correctly.”

To everyone’s surprise, the father said, “My wife went to her hometown to visit her parents, but there she died from an accident(事故) yesterday. I really don’t know how to explain to them they will never be able to see their mother again.”

Hearing this, everyone was surprised. Till then, they realized that they shouldn’t say whether people are good or not before truly knowing them.
