【推荐2】In 1997, 12-year-old American girl Caitlin and 14-year-old Zimbabwean (津巴布韦人) Martin became pen friends through their schools. They didn’t realize at that time how their handwritten letters would change their lives.
It all began as a school task (任务) . Everyone in Caitlin’s class had to choose a pen friend from another country. All the other kids picked countries like France or Germany, but Caitlin chose Zimbabwe because the name sounded exotic and cool.
Martin lived with his family in one of Zimbabwe’s worst slums (贫民窟) where they shared one room with another family. And a bed was their only piece of furniture.
When Caitlin’s first letters reached Martin, they were simple. The two kids wrote just about their favorite music and what they liked to do. But as Martin gradually (逐渐地) revealed more about his own life and his letters started arriving written on pieces of rubbish, Caitlin realized what the living conditions (生活条件) were like for Martin. Without telling her parents, she began sending money with her letters-$20 at a time. Although the money was not much to Caitlin, it meant more food for Martin’s family and helped him to pay his school fees.
It lasted (持续) six years from their first exchange letters to Martin’s arriving in the United States. With the help of the money from Caitlin’s parents later on, Martin finished his university and got his MBA from Duke University.
Today, Caitlin and Martin aren’t only best friends, but they also share their story in a book called I Will Always Write Back. They want to encourage (鼓励) readers to look beyond their own lives and do something kind for others, which might play an important role in their lives.

【推荐1】After the surgery, Sun suffered intense pain, but insisted that he didn’t need any medication. One evening, he found Law, his wife, crying on the balcony of their apartment in a rare outburst of frustration. "If you don't help yourself, no one else can," she said.
Sun started a list "How to Help Myself", and on it he wrote, "Keep communicating with the doctors, even if they are darker thoughts." On Oct. 20th, a few days before his 33 birthday, Sun wrote in a Facebook post, "It's been hard to get along with having aggressive and incurable Grade 4 brain cancer; it's been hard not to get angry and sad about it; it's been frustrating that every pathology(病理)test after my surgery came back with the worst possible result; and it's been hard to accept that modern medicine isn’t able to fix me." At the same time, he wrote, "Every day I wake up not-dead is a gift."
Sun and Law had other lists, detailing the things that they hoped to accomplish in life, which included a trip to Wimbledon; climbing Mt. Snowdon in Wales; and a range of musical aspirations(愿望)—from learning the Bach sonatas(奏鸣曲)and partitas(变奏曲)to performing the first violin part in a concert. Sun started working on Bach’s six sonatas and partitas for unaccompanied violin, the most difficult parts, which George Enescu, a world-famous violinist, once described as the Himalayas for violinists. Sun practiced every day, even if he could manage only fifteen minutes between medical treatments. As he mastered each piece, he posted his performances on Facebook. He finished on November 12th, then turned to the even more difficult Paganini caprices(随想曲), which he had often listened to in a recording by Itzhak Perlman. "It's something I always wanted to play when I grew up, like wanting to be a great baseball player," he said.
