I stepped on a wallet in the street, picked it up and looked inside to find some clues(线索) so I could call the owner. But the wallet contained only three dollars and an old letter.
The envelope was worn and I could read only the return address on it. The letter in it was written almost 60 years ago, with a little flower in the left-hand corner. It was to a young man named Michael, saying that the writer could not see him anymore because her mother forbade(禁止) it. Even so, she wrote that she would always love him.
It was a beautiful letter signed by Hannah, but there was no way except for the name Michael, to identify (识别) the owner. After searching for the return address on the envelope, I finally found that Hannah was now in a nursing home.
I drove over to the nursing home. A nurse and a guard greeted me at the door. The nurse took me to the third floor, and introduced me to Hannah in the day room. She was a sweet, silver-haired old lady with a warm smile. I told her about finding the wallet and showed her the letter. The second she saw the letter with that little flower, she took a deep breath and said, “Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with Michael Goldstein.” She looked away for a moment deep in thought and then said softly, “I love him very much. But I was only 16 and my mother felt I was too young. Oh, he was so handsome. He looked like Sean Connery, the actor. If you should find him, tell him I think of him often. And,” she hesitated for a moment, almost biting her lip, “tell him I still love him.”
I thanked Hannah, said goodbye, and to the first floor. As I stood by the door, the guard there asked if I had any information from Hannah. “Not much but a last name. I think I’ll let it go for a while.” I said. I took out the wallet before the guard, which was a simple brown leather case. The instant he saw it, the guard yelled out, “I’ve seen it before! It might belong to Michael Goldstein, who lives at a room on the eighth floor.”

 | Today, as our lives have greatly improved, do we still need this so-called "hardship education"？ |
According to a recent survey of 2,020 people done by China Youth Daily, 81.8 percent of the interviewees supported hardship education including experiencing life in poor areas, outdoor training, taking part-time jobs, and doing housework.
Qiao Yu, from Tianjin Foreign Languages School, also supports the idea "Hardship helps us grow and be prepared for the difficulties of society," said the 18-year-old, who worked in a cake store this summer.
But while it contributes to studentsˈ development, "hardship education shouldnˈt be seen as simply making students suffer," Sun Yunxiao, director of the China Youth and Children Research Center told China Youth Daily. "It should follow teenagersˈ growth." Sun said that students could also do sports to learn to face difficulties, for doing sports can greatly strengthen their bodies and minds.

In a recent survey of 300 Chinese born after 1990, 54 percent of the respondents said they had hair loss, 51 percent had poorer eyesight, 45 percent gained weight and 35 percent had weakened immunity. At the same time, about 65 percent said they always stayed up late. Meanwhile, 56.7 percent of interviewees said they didn’t know how to live a healthy life.
Wu Feng, who works at a private company in Beijing, was warned in this year’s physical examination report about hyperlipemia, a condition which he ascribed (归因于) to his diet and the fast pace of his life and work.
“At work, I usually sit in the office for hours without moving my body. And when I eat at the canteen, the food is quite oily. What’s more, I like to order fast food, such as fried chicken, at night when I work extra hours,” Wu said.
A post-90s programmer Wang Ke has been seeing abnormal parameters in his medical report in the past few years. He knew he had some bad habits, but it was not easy for him to change. “I know drinking too much milk tea is unhealthy, but I couldn’t stop myself,” he said.
