April has been a vet(兽医) for many years. Throughout her practice, there have been many unusual cases. Some were quite sad and some were even funny. But most of all she remembered one time on a rainy day a little girl came to her with her little guinea pig(豚鼠).
She was in tears and asked April to save her beloved pet. “This is my only friend. I really love my Dorothy,” the girl said. April examined the animal and realized that it was very ill. The pig looked young. Probably, it was already sick when it was sold to the girl. The vet saw many children’s tears, and each time she felt awful. But she always found strength to say that she couldn’t save the pet.
However, this time she looked at the girl and couldn’t say anything. April saw how simply the girl was dressed and thought that her family didn’t make a lot of money. Therefore, the pig wasn't just a pet for her, but a real treasure. “Tell me your phone number, so I can call you after the operation,” April said. “I’ll give you my grandmother’s phone number, because I live with her. My parents were gone. Grandma said that they had gone somewhere far and for a long time. By the way, they gave me the pig before leaving,” the girl said. April wrote down the number, and when the girl left the clinic, she burst into tears. She realized her parents had died and the girl didn't know the truth yet. How could she tell her that her guinea pig was going to die? April looked at the animal helplessly and wondered what she could do. Suddenly she came up with an idea. But before doing it she put the guinea pig to sleep, and went to the nearest pet store during lunchtime. She wanted to buy exactly the same guinea pig and give it to the girl.

When we first met Lucky, we were surprised at his mini figure. The Labrador (拉布拉多) dog was born last Friday and was one of the four babies. He was the tiniest one we had ever seen, weighing less than 150 grams at birth.
The newborn puppy had a low body temperature and kept trembling all the time. The dog mother seemed too tired to nurse the weakest one while feeding other kids. He was so weak that we didn’t think he could make it to the morning.
I, along with my eight-year-old daughter, Alice, the smallest one in our family, stayed up with him all night. We milked his mother and used an small-sized bottle to hand-feed him. When Lucky got too sleepy to eat, we put honey on his gums (牙龈) to give his low blood sugar a quick boost, an old trick we’d learned from other dog keepers.
I slept on the couch with him on top of me. Alice held the little dog to raise his body temperature, but it failed. He still trembled with cold. Then we used a thermos (热水瓶) and changed the hot water every two hours. Meanwhile, We constantly checked the thermos temperature to avoid burning his delicate skin.
The next day, to our relief, Lucky took a turn for the better. His body temperature recovered to normal, but he appeared hungry. We started to nurse him with a regular baby bottle.
On our farm we have 15 goats plus chickens and dogs. But Lucky was too little to keep outside. Worrying that other animals could have pushed him around or harmed him, we decided to keep him indoors. We were fortunate to meet the neatest one-because he rarely made messes.

10 . An exhibition held at the Liu Haisu Art Museum in Shanghai, showcasing artworks by fifty 20th-century masters, alongside more than 300 copies of textbooks and other historical documents, some of which are on public view for the first time.
Tushanwan Orphanage, established in 1864 by the Catholic Church in Xujiahui district of Shanghai, is believed to be the cradle of “Western painting” in Shanghai to teach elementary painting techniques. Then the Tushanwan art studio, which was founded by a missionary (传教士) from Spain, taught arts in a completely different way from the traditional Chinese practise. On show at the exhibition are some of the textbooks and letters in French from the Tushanwan era. While most of the teachers at the time were Western missionaries, the curriculum included Chinese characters and translation between French and Chinese.
Liu Haisu was one of founders of the private “Shanghai Academy of Art”. “From 1919 to 1933, Liu conducted research visits to Japan and Europe respectively, which marked important turning points for the art school,” says Jin Wenyi, the director of the Liu Haisu Art Museum.
Liu adopted the style of administration and teaching of the art schools in Tokyo, broke further away from the traditional system, and expanded the curriculum to modern art and science. A school board with outstanding members such as Cai Yuanpei and Liang Qichao was founded, which brought more funding and social influence for the art school.
Another area of the exhibition features Shanghai University, the first university founded by the Communist Party of China in 1922. Documents on display also reflect the changes in the art education system after the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949.
“It was only in an open city such as Shanghai that modern art education could develop so well, with curricula and teachers shared between institutions and a confluence of different ideas,” Jin says.
