stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her
window and asked if he wanted a free

17 and shared his life story
Steller loaded a red chair from her car. The man took a
while Steller was trimming (修剪) curly grey hair.
Until now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. These clients are
all living a poor life, and she is keenly aware of the 18 of her cleanup job. For her, it’s
more than a haircut. She wants it to be a gateway not only to show value and respect but also to
get to know people.
Steller knows that a haircut can
suffered from a bowel(肠道) disease which was so serious that her hair thinned quickly. She was
very 20 and afraid to go out. Seeing this, her mother arranged for her first professional
haircut. Sitting down and having somebody look at her and talk to her like a person and not just an
illness made her feel cared about and less 21

Although she can’t fix their problems, Steller believes she can help them feel less alone for a

All around the world, there are small changes taking place. At the side of roads, behind
school playgrounds and on all kinds of unloved pieces of land across towns and cities, tiny forests
barely the size of tennis courts are appearing, making a great place for both wildlife and local
people who may not normally have easy access to nature. This is the Tiny Forest movement,
which aims to prove that the best things in life really do come in small packages.
Tiny forests were first mentioned as a concept in the 1970s by Dr Miyawaki, a Japanese
botanist. As he went on to share his concept with others, the idea soon took off in India and other
countries before eventually reaching Europe, where it became popular in places like France,
Belgium and the Netherlands.
So how does it work? Louise Hartley, who is leading the Tiny Forest project in the UK,
explains that the process begins by identifying areas in which a tiny forest could have the biggest
influence. “We focus on urban areas where access to nature is often not that easy”, says Hartley.
“
We see it as a chance to try to break the growing disconnect between people and nature.”
In a Tiny Forest, there must be a minimum of 600 trees, and the trees are planted much closer
together and without chemicals or fertilisers (肥料). There are usually around 30 different kinds of
all-native tree species. This variety, coupled with the fact that tiny forests grow up to ten times
faster than standard forests, means they attract a rich abundance of wildlife. It’s also thought that
these places could help reduce the risk of flooding, remove carbon from the atmosphere and fight
climate change, as well as improving the mental health of those living locally.

Chinese Culture Shown to the World
Li Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has
gained worldwide popularity.
Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent to Twitter, plus 7
million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know
traditional Chinese food culture via her channel.
It is the spirit of craftsmanship (技艺) behind her works that makes Li’s video clips attractive.
She carefully follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures in making traditional Chinese
food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her
videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos.
Li has been inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer
look at her videos will show that they are never with any “analysis” that makes people feel bored.
They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the
latter knows how Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives. It is that universal appeal that
makes her works so attractive. Thanks to Li’s efforts, many intangible cultural heritages (非物质
文化遗产) that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes. Via her
short videos, Li presents the image of a beautiful and friendly China.
With the growth of the Chinese economy, people overseas are showing more interest in
traditional Chinese culture. Li has shown how to satisfy that interest in a good way, namely
showing the best parts of traditional Chinese culture with her heart.
To effectively present the beauty of Chinese culture to the world, we need more Li Ziqi.

My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classrooms,
but I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to
hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn’t read In one of my first lessons the
teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed.
But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it
wouldn’t happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his
best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.
Now I was 41 years old. One day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and
family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and
reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you?” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me,” I
answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his
face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged.
“
I’m so glad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share.”
I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn’t all. I had become a published author and an active
speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage
him to read as well,” I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia (诵读困难症). But I can tell you
