    Recently a really strange thing happened in a middle school in China's Hubei Province. Over 600 students at the school took part in a "caring for an egg like a baby"{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(active). in which they were asked to keep an egg close at hand for a month{#blank#}2{#/blank#}breaking it.

    "It's hard for parents to bring up their children{#blank#}3{#/blank#}many students just ignore it, " said Liu Kang, the school's director. "They should{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) to be grateful to their parents,who have given them life but ask for nothing in return ."

    Li Ming is one of the students. His egg didn't break during the month, but he felt{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(exhaust). "I now understand what great difficulty my parents have had{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（bring）me up. I'll do all I can to make their life easier and{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(comfort) when I grow up,”promised the 13-year-old boy.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(luck), about 450 students broke their eggs. Yan Yueming broke his egg after just five days, which made him frustrated. He said,”I can't imagine {#blank#}9{#/blank#}sad my parents would be if there was something wrong with me, their ‘egg'! It is now time I did something{#blank#}10{#/blank#}return for their love,”said Yan.

    Yu Rong, a Chinese artist, thinks of a new way to introduce{#blank#}1{#/blank#}ancient story of Hua Mulan in her picture book. In the book, I Am Hua Mulan, she tells the story by{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(combine) paper-cutting with international artistic styles. She places Shaanxi paper-cuts over Western-style pencil sketches(素描){#blank#}3{#/blank#} (create) a typical presentation of Chinese elements (元素), which turns out to be a{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(success) and impressive breakthrough.

    Hua Mulan{#blank#}5{#/blank#}story has been told by generations in China, is a fighter from the Northern Wei Dynasty(386-534). As a devoted daughter, she dressed herself as a man to serve in the army{#blank#}6{#/blank#}place of her father. Mulan's characteristics, such as courage, kindness and a disinterested attitude toward fame and fortune, made{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(she) one of the most respected historical Chinese heroines. Mulan's story has been adapted {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(frequent) in modern media, including TV shows, video games and literature. For example, in 1998, Disney produced a film named Mulan, which{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(consider) a great success by critics and the public.

    To better tell the story, Yu Rong takes inspiration from her several{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(visit) to sites of ancient battles and Henan Province's Yuju Opera. After years of preparation, she finally makes this extraordinary work.
