My father is a middle school teacher. He is always ________ with his work and often gets home before it gets really dark. When I was a little kid, I believed my dad was the ________ one because he never made me a toy or took me to a park.

One day I was left at home alone again. I felt ________ bored that I began to draw pictures with my pencil on some paper. I didn’t realize I was drawing on the books of my father’s ________ he walked back into the house. I became nervous. I knew that I had done something wrong. From a distance I could see all the first pages of my father’s new books were covered ________ my drawings. Now, staring at (盯着) my father fearfully, I waited for his anger.

My father picked up his much-loved book, looked at it ________ for quite a while, without saying a word. He was a teacher. Books were important to him. For him, books were knowledge. But instead of shouting at me, he sat down, took the pen from my hand, and then wrote in the book himself, beside the drawings made by ________: John’s work, 1999, age 4. You have made the ________ priceless. It’s the best gift I’ve got.

The years and the books came and went. I experienced ________ all young men go through and perhaps a little bit more: success and failure, laughters and tears. From time to time I would open the book, look at the drawings, and read my father’s words. I began to realize my father ________ me how every bad event in life can have a positive side—if we get ready to look at it from another way. He also taught me about what really matters in life: people, not objects; tolerance (包容), not judgment (评价); love, not anger.

Each time I think about these things, I will smile and say, “Thank you, Dad. You are the best!”

The book I’m Fine in China has been come out by Shanghai Educational Publishing House recently. It talks about the story of 22 Foreigners and China. The writer Melody, who was born in 1988, has been in China for twelve years. Over these years, she has traveled more than half of China.

Melody played a key role as the book’s main writer. She connected 21 other people from different counties with different experiences to write down their stories about China. Among them were her close friends and classmates, as well as foreign friends she did not know but found through the Internet.

Anasi from Latvia has been in China for 16 years. After graduating from high school, Anasi decided to learn Chinese. The reason why she chose Chinese was that she knew that China is a multi-ethnic (多民族) and multicultural country, and she wanted to learn the history and culture of China. She had planned to return to her home country after studying in China for a year, but she became interested in the country while studying at Fudan University. After graduating from Fudan University, Anasi stayed in Shanghai to work.

Like Anasi, each main role in the book has a lively life story in China. And most of them use the word “predestination (缘分)” in their stories. Convenience and safety are their impression (印象) on China. Each of them has their favorite Chinese things. Some like Chinese food, some like Chinese language, some like... In the process of digging up the story, there are always unexpected surprise for Melody.

“My granddaughter usually sleeps at nearby 11:00 every night. She is only in Grade Six. It’s really worrying to see her go to bed so late,” said Liu Fang, a 70-year-old Beijinger on her way to pick up the young girl after school.

This is quite common in China. According to the 2020 Mentel Health Blue Book, 95.5% of primary school students sleep less than 10 hours, and 90.8% of middle school students sleep less than 9 hours in 2020.

The reasons why students are short of sleep are quite different. “I sleep less as I want to get higher grades, and higher grades often means heavier schoolwork.” said Yang Yue, a ninth-grader.

Students’ poor self-control is another reason for being short of sleep. Yang’s schoolmate Shu Haoyu says he often plays mobile games after doing a bit of homework. “Because of poor study habits, I usually go to bed late, sometimes at 12:00 p.m.” said Shu.

Scientists find that lack（缺乏）of sleep might increase the students’ risks of developing mental and physical health problems. It’s easy for teens to feel down or be short of patience if they don’t get enough sleep. Besides, it also gets in the way of their study. Students may find it difficult to memorize（记住）the text without enough sleep.

This worrying situation has driven the Ministry of Education（教育部）to make an action plan called “The Sleep Order”. It clarifies（明确）the sleep time of primary and middle school students of different ages, and requires homework, off-school training, and games to make way for students’ sleep.

“Primary school students are suggested to get at least 10 hours’ sleep at night, nine hours for junior high school students and eight hours for senior high school students.” said Lyu Yugang, an official with the ministry.

The winners of Touching China were announced on the evening of February 17, 2021. Mao Xianglin, the party secretary（党支书）of Xiazhuang, Chongqing was among them.

In 1997, 38-year-old Mao started to work in this village. 1000-meter-tall cliffs（悬崖峭壁）were around the village, and there was only one way to get out of the village for many years. It took villagers three days to walk to the nearest town. Mao decided to build a road. “We can’t stay poor forever. I’ll lead us to live a better life, even though it will be hard.” Mao said.

He led more than 100 villagers to build the road with their hands. They hung from ropes and used different kinds of tools to build the road. It took them seven years to build an eight-kilometer road. But their work has improved people’s lives. It takes just one hour to drive to the nearest town now.

Mao then encouraged the villagers to grow oranges. Last year, their orange yield（产量）was nearly 40 tons. Young people have returned to the village to sell oranges online. By the end of 2019, 269 villagers had got out of poverty（贫困）.

Mao, who will retire（退休）in five years, said, “Although the conditions are better, the spirit of the Xiazhuang people can’t be lost. It has to be passed down.”
