Western holidays such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day, are getting more and more popular in China. Some Chinese people even get crazy at them. But at the same time, people seem to have more enthusiasm for our traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Moon Festival. However, most people celebrate western holidays without know the meaning behind them. They just go shopping, held parties and have fun.
In my opinion, the celebration of western holidays is good way of learning about the western cultures, which help to promote understanding and communication between Chinese cultures and other cultures. However, the celebration can make our life more interesting as well as. However, we should make greatly efforts to preserve and enrich their own traditional culture.
Mother Teresa was born in Macedonia on August 26, 1910. When she was young, she had studied religion and loved everyone. Later, she went to India but taught Geography there for many year.
In 1950, she found the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, that aims to help the poor. Its members are volunteers. Mother Teresa devoted all her life to take care of the poor, the sickness, the homeless and the dying. That devotion won him respect throughout the world and Nobel Peace in 1979. In her later life, Mother Teresa suffered great from heart disease. She died at 87 on September 5, 1997 in India.
