【推荐3】Wang Anshi should not be a strange name to you. His poems are included in your textbooks. You might be asked to remember the fact that he was one of the “eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties”. But how much do you know about him? 2021 is the 1,000th anniversary (周年纪念) of his birth.
Wang Anshi was such an excellent poet that he achieved great success in literature (文学). More than that, he was a great politician, too. At 21, he passed the examination and started to work as a local official in different places for nearly 20 years.
Later, he became the prime minister and carried out a series of reforms. Wang’s spirit of making changes made a big difference to many people. He advised the government to reduce farmers’ duty, such as, doing a land survey to correct land taxes (税) and lending money to farmers if they needed.
He also suggested setting up more schools to train talented people in different fields. These reforms succeeded for a while. But they harmed the interests of the upper classes and failed in the end. Russia’s great leader Vladimir Lenin praised him as the most inspiriting reformers in Chinese history.

Vacation in the sun
夏威夷之旅：一场短暂的逃离
For over a year, I had not left my house because of the pandemic. I dreamed of a getaway.
Luckily, my best friend was also thinking of getting out of Los Angeles and invited me to go to Hawaii with her family. After two COVID-19 tests and a double-masked five-hour flight, our five-person group arrived on the Big Island in Hawaii.
We packed into a car and drove to our rental (租的) house. It was late at night, so we didn’t really see the island until the next day. Our first day was bright and sunny, so we spent all day at the beach before getting shaved ice (刨冰).
We found possibly the best shaved ice place on the island. Big Island Shaved Ice Company (BISIC) has homemade, natural shaved ice flavors (口味) such as passion fruit (百香果), lychee (荔枝), coconut and mango. Unsurprisingly, we visited the place every day.
Other than the delicious dessert, Hawaii treated (招待) us to cloudy, sometimes rainy weather on the days we planned to go hiking to waterfalls, and sunny weather on the days we planned to head to the beaches (where I got very, very sunburned). My favorite activity, though, was when we went horseback riding. We saw bright green fields and breathtaking views of the island’s shoreline (海岸线). I rode a horse named Arya. Along the way, our guide told us interesting stories about the island.
Although I was sad to leave, after a week of laughter and fun, I was more prepared to go back into quarantine (隔离).

It’s a Friday afternoon, and I was taking an English test. Suddenly I was very worried that I couldn’t find the right answer to a problem, though I could solve it in usual time. So I knocked at Jimmy’s back quietly and lightly. He knew my meaning right away and passed me a piece of paper quietly. I surprisingly found it said “I believe you can make it”.

“Oh, that’s my trouble tree. I know I may have troubles sometimes. But one thing’s for sure, I shouldn’t bring these troubles to my wife and children, so I just leave them in the tree every night.
