The Spring Festival Gala (春节联欢晚会) has become a must of the Spring Festival celebration since 1983. As an important part of traditional Chinese culture, the gala usually starts at 8 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and ends at about 12:30 a.m. the next day. But these days, some people have thought the gala should be stopped.
Twenty years ago, the gala brought every family much happiness. I still can’t forget that I asked Mom to make dumplings early so that she wouldn’t miss the gala. I also remember that Dad and I sat in front of the TV, waiting for the famous actors to perform shows at the gala. At that time, everything at the gala was popular. Performers’ clothes were quite in fashion (时尚) at that time. Mom was good at making clothes, so I could see Mom wear the same clothes as the performers the day after the gala. And Dad would record (录制) all the songs at the gala. This way, he could listen to them over and over again.
However, fewer and fewer people watch the gala now. But my family still watch it. It is a good time for my family to share what we like. Dad and Mom will laugh happily when their favorite actors perform. And I can’t help singing along with my favorite singers. I think the gala is not just a show. It is an important tradition for Chinese families.

She played the leading role in the dance show Hua Mulan. She also played Yang Guifei in Du Fu. Her name is Hao Ruoqi, a member of China National Opera and Dance Drama Theater.
Born in 1993, Hao has become one of China’s most popular female (女性的) dancers. Hao started learning dancing at the age of 7. She entered college in 2011 and became a professional dancer after leaving school.
In 2017, Hao played the leading role in the dance show Hua Mulan. It was a great challenge for her even though she had much performance experience. She cried every night when returning to the hotel during rehearsals (彩排). “At that time, I thought to myself that I would never dance again after playing the role of Mulan,” she said.
Luckily, Hao didn’t give up. She studied everything about Mulan very carefully. She even found teachers and learnt Chinese kung fu from them. In order to perform the action scenes well, Hao and her partners worked hard to practice the fighting moves.
The show was a big success. But for Hao, it was more than just playing the role of a woman in the army. “The spirit of Mulan has lived in everyone’s mind from ancient times to now. We can feel the power of women from Mulan. I’m lucky to be able to show it to more people through dance,” Hao said.

5 . My friend Jerry is a manager at a restaurant. If someone has a bad day, he always helps that person look on the bright side.
Once I asked Jerry, “How can you be so positive all the time?” He replied, “Every morning I tell myself I have two choices for that day—to be in a good mood (心情)or in a bad mood. I choose the good one. When something wrong happens, I can be sad and angry or I can learn from it. I choose to learn. Life is all about choices.

9 . There was a man who had a wise daughter. One day, he saw the king, but he did not shake with fear. Instead he pronounced every word clearly.
“Who taught you to speak well?” “My daughter.”
“Well, let me test her. Give her these and if she doesn’t hatch chickens from them, I will put you both in prison (监狱).” The king gave him some boiled eggs.
The father returned home and told his daughter what happened.
She said nothing but boiled some beans (豆子). “Father, when you see the king coming, spread the beans into the field and cry, “May God help these boiled beans grow into fine crops?”

“As much as I expect boiled eggs to turn into chickens.”
