A special kitchen is next to Jiangxi Cancer Hospital(江西肿瘤医院), in Nanchang. Around meal time, families of the hospital’s patients(病人) use the kitchen to cook food for their loved ones.
The kitchen was a breakfast stall(摊) at first, run(经营) by a husband and wife, Wan Zuocheng and Xiong Gengxiang. One day, in 2003, a young woman asked if she could use it to cook food for her son who was in hospital. Wan and Xiong agreed. Later on, they gave cookers to people for free to help them cook for family in hospital. As it’s known to more people, they began to call their breakfast stall “kitchen of love” because in their eyes it was a place to pass on love.
With more and more people coming and cooking, Wang and Xiong had to turn their stall into a big kitchen while people began to show their willingness(意愿) to share the costs(费用). Wan and Xiong finally agreed to set a very low price: 1 yuan to cook a dish and 1.5 yuan to cook soup.
Now they are over 60, but to make it easier for others to use the kitchen, they still get up at 4 a.m. every day to boil water(煮水) and cook rice.
Wan and Xiong always listen to patients’ families talking about their experiences because they believe listening to those people helps them feel better. Xiong says, “It’s necessary to take medicine when we’re ill, however, love is sometimes much better than any other medicine. I feel really happy to run the kitchen and help others.”

In ancient China, it was common that the eldest son should look after the parents. But Confucius’ (孔子) elder brother was disabled, so Confucius had to take care of his mother till she died in 535 BC. One of his teachings was that a person should feel or express great sadness for their parents’ death for three years. Filial piety(孝道) is very important in Confucius’ thought.
After he had finished mourning (守孝) for his mother, he began to teach and got followers around him. How many students did Confucius get? We are not sure. It is believed that 72 of them were very famous. Some of his students came from poor families, and others were from rich families. He thought everyone should have a right to receive education.
Confucius lived in a time of being unstable(不稳定的), so many of his teachings were connected to social harmony. He thought, in a family, parents should behave like parents, caring for the young, while children should behave like children, knowing how to look after the old. If such relationships are remained, a country will be peaceful and a family will be harmonious(和谐的).
“Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.”
“When one’s parents are alive, one should not go far away.”
These sayings, together with many others, were beautifully written in Chinese ancient texts. They have been learned by Chinese people over the centuries.

【推荐3】There are not many people around who say they like rats(老鼠). When you see one of them, you may want to run in the opposite direction.
There is one man though who has always enjoyed staying with rats, even when he was a young boy. His name is Bart Weetjens and he comes from Belgium in Europe. As he grew up, he learned everything about rats. He knew that they have a very strong sense of smell. He realized that it might be possible to train rats to help solve a problem that troubled some Southeast Asian countries.
Clearing away unexploded bombs and landmines(未爆炸的炸弹和地雷) is a difficult job. Bart began to train rats to look for explosives. Because a rat’s sense of smell is so strong, they are able to smell a thing known as TNT that is used in bombs. And because rats are not heavy, if they place their weight on an unexploded bomb, they will not cause it to explode(爆炸).
Bart chose African Giant Pouched Rats for the job. They are well known for being calm and smart. Training begins when they are about six weeks old, and it lasts for nine months. Once trained, one rat can search up to 200m in 20 minutes. The same area would take a human up to four days. Trained rats are known as Mine Detection Rats, or MDRs, and they have worked successfully in Cambodia since 2015.
