Hu Ming, a Guizhou University teacher, whose 85-year-old mother has Alzheimer’s
disease (阿尔茨海默病), has to take his mother to class with him. And he has done
this for years.
Maybe you will say he can have some other people take care of his
11
. Indeed,
he has sisters. But they
12
do it because his mother only recognizes
him.
And she
13
him wherever he goes. He also tried a nurse but failed.
“My mother’s illness was
14
. She drank dishwater, and she mistook
washing powder(洗衣粉) for salt or sugar.” explained 58-year-old Hu. “I couldn’t
imagine she stayed at home without me and that always made me
15
, so I began
to take her with me to class.” “With my mother sitting
16
in class, I was
able to pay more attention to teaching,” Hu added. But still, there are many
different voices. Then Hu told a
17
.
A son took his mother, old and
18
, to a restaurant for dinner.
While
eating, the mother dropped the food
19
, on her shirt and trousers, the table,
the chair and the floor.
Other people watched her in disgust(厌恶) while the son
was
20
.
When the mother
21
eating, the son quietly took her to the washroom,
cleaned the food on the clothes, smoothed her hair and fitted her glasses. When they
came out, all the people were
22
them.
Without saying anything or watching
anybody, the son walked
23
to pay the bill and started walking peacefully out
with his mother.
At that time, an old woman called out to the son and asked him, “Don’t you
think you left something behind you?”
The son thought for a few seconds, “No, madam, I didn’t.” he replied.
The old woman said, “Yes, you did! You gave a lesson to every son and
24
to every mother.”
“To care for those who once
25
for us is our duty.
I am a son, and
what’s wrong with being the hope for my mother?” Hu said.

Influence
Li Ming(a student):
I enjoy reading. For me, reading is the best way to encourage myself. I spend as
much time as I can reading, for about 1 hour every day. I love novels best. How
theSteelwasTemperedis one of my favourite. When I am facing difficulties, Pavel
Korchagin’s story will always remind me to be brave and never to give up.
Zhang Hong(a teacher):
After a hard day’s work, a piece of music, a cup of coffee and a book may make
me feel comfortable and relaxed. I recommend the four great classical Chinese
novels to all my students, for we can enjoy the beauty of different language styles,
as well as traditional Chinese culture. But it’s a pity I have 2 hours at most
to read every week.
Wang Hua(an officer):
Books are my assistant. When I am in trouble, a suitable book is always the best
friend I go to. I keep the habit of reading for nearly 4 hours every week. Books
tell me how to step forward. ShihChiorThirty-sixStratagemscan not only improve
my working ability but also fill my life.
Hu Shanshan(a volunteer):
I seldom have time to read, but I learned quite a lot today, and I will start my
reading from today on.

Poems from Tang and Song dynasties, operas from Yuan dynasty, and novels from
Ming and Qing dynasties are very famous in China’s history. Today, I’d like to
recommend SongofAutumn, one of the poems by Liu Yuxi(772-842), a famous poet and
writer in the mid Tang dynasty.
Just as shown in the first line of the poem, most ancient poets liked to describe
autumn as a sad time, but in this poem the season appears differently. In Liu’s
eyes, autumn, full of life and hope, is even better than spring morning. He describes
the bright scene of a crane riding the clouds and flying into the blue sky.
With his poems paying special attention to expressing personal feelings, as well
as the daily life of common people, Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words.
You may feel it in this poem. Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced
Xu Yuanchong, the poem still reads not so beautifully as that in Chinese. I personally
think that English is sometimes not so powerful as Chinese.
Here is another example, in Liu’s essay An Eulogium on a Humble Cell(《陋室
铭》), with less than 100 words, he shows a lively picture of his humble cell. However,
