    Li Shizhen (李时珍) was one of the most famous doctors in Chinese history.  He was born in Qichun, Hubei in 1518.

    Both of Li Shizhen's father and grandfather were doctors. Li Shizhen's grandfather was a country doctor who traveled in the countryside with a bag of herbs (药草) and medications and cured (治愈) people. His father was doctor who wrote several books.

    Li Shizhen used to help his father in his medical practice when he was young. Li Shizhen's father wanted him to enter politics (从政). Li Shizhen studied for the exams and passed the country-level examination, but he was never able to pass the imperial (帝国的) examination.

    When he was 38, he cured the son of the Prince of Chu and was invited to be an official in that court (宫廷) A few years later, he became an official at the Imperial Medical Institute.

    Even though he fulfilled his father's dream, he didn't want to continue working for the court.

    One year later, he left the court and returned to be a doctor again.

    Li Shizhen. was famous for his book, Compendium of Materia Medica 《本草纲日》He spent 27 years writing the book. Unluckily, Li Shizhen died before the book was officially published. It is such a successful book. Now it is still one of the most important medical books in China.

For a long time we have learned about the 3Rs, but now there are two more in the mix.5Rs are Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle, in that order. The order of the Rs is also important. The closer to the start of the list, the more important it is. Let's start from our lifestyles! 

Refuse

Our lives are full of things we don't need, and each of them has an environmental cost. Think it over when buying. Just deciding not to spend $100 on things our family doesn't want can save 100kg greenhouse gas pollution! 

Reduce

To reduce is to use fewer resources. Before buying for children, give yourself at least a day or two to cool off. Only buy what is necessary to children. Always ask your children to turn off the lights or computers when they are not using them. 

Reuse

Almost everything we throw away in our daily lives will become litter and harm the planet in other ways. We can save resources by reusing. Reuse means using again. Have you given away your children's clothes that they can't wear to others? Or, we can use the cloth napkins and empty cans once again or more. 

Repurpose

Simply take something you are no longer using and change it for another more practical use. Think, help your children use old newspapers for art projects. 

Recycle

To recycle is to make new things from old things. In our home, anything made from metal, wood, paper and most plastics is possible to be recycled. 

It takes time to practice critical（批判性） thinking, but it's never too late to start. The following steps will help people to become critical thinkers.

I am a middle school student. My name is Wang Jing. My grandfather is 70 years old. He often says life has changed a lot. It becomes better and better. I ask him what life was like when he was a child. The following is what he says. 

When he was a child, he used to feel hungry. There didn't use to be enough food for him to eat. He has two brothers and two sisters. His parents were both farmers. They were very poor and couldn't let their children eat as much as possible. As for clothes, they didn't use to have enough clothes. They didn't use to buy new clothes. The younger brothers and sisters often wore their elder brothers' and sisters' clothes. My grandfather is the youngest. Only he went to the university and worked in the city. His brothers and sisters didn't get enough education. Now my grandfather has retired(退休) and lives a happy life. He can eat any food that he wants. He can buy clothes that he wants to buy. He says he is much happier than before. He often asks me to study hard. He says if I work hard, I can have a good future.
