Ten years ago, I lost my job in Hangzhou. I had to move to Shanghai to find another job. I left my wife and children behind. I missed them very much, so I went home on weekends to see them.
A few days after New Year's Day, I drove my old car back to Hangzhou. On the way, my car broke down (发生故障). It was so cold and I didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a young man drove up. He tried his best to help me repair the car. He soon got it started.
I was so thankful that I gave him all the money in my purse, but he refused. Then I got to know that he helped the drivers in trouble on the road every weekend. What a kind man! How lucky I was to meet him in my life!
Many years later. I still often remember that great man.

【推荐2】When I was ten, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She would watch me coming down her street, and by the time I had biked up to her doorstep, there would be a drink waiting. I would sit and drink while she was talking.
Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband. “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” she would say. The first time she said that, juice went up my nose.
I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I should sit and listen and nod and smile, and maybe she would get it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. Later on, she left her husband over at the cemetery (墓地).
I finally gave up delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we met again and she looked happy. Years before, she had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.
I live in the city now. My paperboy is a lady named Edna. Every time I feel down, she hears me out. Community isn’t so much a place as a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.

【推荐3】Born in Shenzhen, Luo Yi’s idea on life was shaped by the time she spent in the countryside.
The 28-year-old girl’s studies and work have seen her life in major cities around the world, such as London, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing. But her interest remains in the countryside. This interest was developed by her father who loves outdoor activities. By the age of 4, she was travelling with her father and taking 10-kilometer bicycle rides in the countryside.
In 2011, Luo went to the US to study history and environment. During vacations, she returned to China and studied the projects in the countryside. When she worked as an intern in Wenchuan Sichuan province in 2012, she noticed that some local traditions and culture were disappearing even though some historical buildings were rebuilt. Also, the younger generations seemed to have no interest in their own culture. In 2015, Luo graduated from the University of Chicago. She set up Laotu in 2016. It helps develop the countryside and youth education.
Laotu also educates young people in cities about rural lives and culture. Its course in the Mountain Program takes them to rural areas. There they can learn the villagers’ work and life. The program is designed to improve their understanding of the relationship between people and nature.
“Rural areas are part of our culture,” Luo said. “We, as the new generation, should play a role in bringing rural China a better future.”
