Every Saturday, Wang Fokun travels 40 minutes to “watch” a movie with his friends. He became blind in his early 50s. However, he can still enjoy movies in a “talking movie” club-Xin Deng Theater. The club is in Kunming, Yunnan. A group of volunteers there describe movies to blind people.
“I listened to a movie for the first time in the summer of 2019, and it was amazing. The volunteers did a great job.” said Wang.
Describing movies to blind people can be challenging (有挑战性的). The volunteers must watch a movie three or four times to know everything in the movie. This way, they can describe the movie very clearly.
Zhou Quan started the club in 2017. “Movies are for everybody,” said Zhou. “Xin Deng Theater hopes to share movies with blind people and help to light up their lives.” Thanks to the special club, many blind people go out of their homes and their lives are more interesting.
Now many blind people come to Xin Deng Theater to “watch” movies every week. “They can enjoy the movies here. I’m so glad that I bring enjoyment to them.” said Zhou.
“It’s meaningful for us to spend our free time volunteering.” said one volunteer.

Trees are useful to man in three important ways.
The first important way is that they provide man with wood and other products. Trees provide not only man with food, but also many animals with food. Without trees, many animals could not live on earth. It’s not easy for man to live on earth, either.
The second important way is that trees give us shade(阴凉). On a hot summer day, people are eager(渴望)to have a rest under the tree after they have a long walk. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and animals.
The third important way is that trees help to prevent droughts and floods(防止干旱和洪水). However, in many parts of the world, man hasn’t realized the third way. They cut trees down in large numbers. In the end, they find that they have lost the best friends they had.
