Have you heard about paper-cutting? Paper-cutting is an important art form in China. Paper-cuts were used for many purposes, and everything can become the theme (主题) of paper-cuts, from people to the things that can be found in everyday life such as birds, flowers and animals.

 Each paper-cut brings out the personal ideas of the author (作者). People express traditional culture or their own feelings with different styles of paper-cuts. For example, when someone marries, we put up some red paper-cuts on the wall, dressing table or other furniture to express our best wishes.

 It is easy to learn paper-cutting but very difficult to make it perfect. We need a long-time practice to learn how to use the scissors and how to paint. More over, we need to learn some cutting skills.

 At present, in many parts of China, paper-cutting skill has become a must for women and a symbol of a clever mind.

The old man was one of the poor people in Sydney and in fact there was no difference between them and beggars(乞丐). Most of them were some lonely old people. My friend was a kind hearted man, so he quickly gave some money to him. The old man asked him to pick some goods from him. My friend had no interest in those goods, so he left without choosing. But the old man followed him all the way.

    At first, my friend didn't think a lot, just thinking he would go home. But then when he went very far and saw the old man still following him, he was a little angry, thinking the old man must feel he was kind and wanted more money. My friend turned back and told him with sign language(手语) not to follow him because he didn't have much money.

Hearing his story, his friend turned to ask why the old man was following his friend. The old man was out of breath, "My son, you gave me money, but you didn't want my things, so I have to give you something. I see you are a foreigner, likely not familiar(熟悉) with our city. I just want to follow you and show you the way. All I can do for you is this..."My friend was surprised. He said he didn't know why, but he felt the old man was just like his father, nice and warm.
