On May 12, 2008, students were having a Chinese lesson in class. The ground suddenly began to shake. It was an earthquake. In a few seconds, the buildings fell down.

For one student named Xue Xiao, this was the beginning of a nightmare (噩梦). Lying alone in the dark, he kept telling himself that someone would save him. Imagine how afraid the young boy was as he lay alone under his fallen school. Some people may have given up, but Xue didn’t. He wanted to live.

The next day, the rescuers (救援者) finally found Xue. Then they worked for about two days to save this boy. A funny thing happened when they moved him out. His first words were “Give me a cola”. However, the suffering wasn’t over. The doctors told him they would have to cut off his right arm. He agreed.

After people heard of Xue’s story, they were deeply moved (打动) and began to call him a “Coke Boy”. Many people visited him and gave him colas. Xue told them that he would keep being happy while looking forward to the future.

Now, the Coke Boy works in Coca-Cola Museum in Chengdu. He is telling visitors about the history of Coca-Cola, his love for the job, as well as his pain and hope in the Wenchuan earthquake.

7-year-old Drew Bausman is from Sacramento, US. He has a dream (梦想) of being a deliveryman (快递员). He sees deliverymen deliver packages (包裹) to people every day and thinks that their work makes people happy. His favourite colour is brown because deliverymen’s uniform (制服) is in the colour brown.

So, Drew’s mum bought him a small uniform online and got him a mini truck (迷你卡车). Drew loved them so much. He started wanting to deliver packages to his friends. Luckily, a delivery store helped him. The deliverymen there welcomed the boy to work as a deliveryman for one day.

On the day, Drew dressed up like a deliveryman. He was serious and got right to work. He put many boxes on his mini truck. Each box had a gift for his friends. Then a deliveryman drove him to his school. The delivery store also sent two trucks and ten deliverymen to let the children learn about the trucks and ask questions about what it’s like to be a deliveryman. It was truly a big day for Drew.

Drew’s family was thankful for the deliverymen. Their help was more than just making Drew’s dream come true. There was something more for Drew as he is a child with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症). His story tells us that life sometimes is not easy for us, but love makes the world much better.

“Jing Ye Si” is one of the most famous poems by Li Bai. Almost all the Chinese children know the poem. Now many students of an Australian school know it too. This is thanks to a Chinese teacher — Abao.

Abao is from Guangxi. He got interested in music after he saw his brother play the guitar (吉他). He then learned to play the guitar. Music brought him a lot of fun.

When he grew up, Abao became an English teacher in Guangxi. He connected his love for music with his job. He sang and played English songs with his guitar to teach his students English. His way of teaching worked well. In 2010, Abao went to Boston, to teach Chinese. He used his experience in China to help his American students learn Chinese poems. However, because some words sound (听起来好像) different when they are in a song, Abao had to listen to a great many songs to find the right ones for his class. It took too much time. So he started to turn Chinese poems into songs. Years later, Abao went to Australia to teach Chinese. Again, he used music to help his Australian students learn Chinese poems.

Abao’s songs for Chinese poems are very popular. He will write more and try his best to make language learning easier and get his students to love Chinese culture (文化).
