There are many festivals around the world. Dads have Father's Day. Mums have Mother's Day. But do our grandparents have a 1 ? Yes, they do.

Respecting old people is a tradition in China. There are many ways for Chinese people to 4 their respect. When an old person enters a room, everyone should stand up. Also, people are introduced from the 5 to the youngest. When we give something to an old person, two hands are used. The old usually don't have to buy tickets for buses and young people always 6 their seats to old people on a crowded subway or bus.

However, in western countries, old people have 7 lifestyles from those in China. They don't often live with their children—they live 8 . They don't want to get help from 9 . They even don't want to be offered seats by others.

According to media reports on Wednesday, Zhang Zening, a woman from Nanjing City, East China's Jiangsu Province, has made more than 50 sets of Hanfu, or traditional Chinese costume (服装).

Zhang majored in materials science and engineering when she was in college, and she gave up her job after falling in love with Hanfu. It has been 10 years since Zhang made Hanfu by herself because those of her favorite styles were not for sale. She taught herself painting and costume design, and visited a dozen Chinese cities to explore museums, as well as to draw inspiration from murals (壁画) and literature, before making over 50 different Hanfu from past dynasties.

Zhang said the design of Hanfu was inspired by the murals of past dynasties. "What I did is not only to restore (使复原) a piece of clothing, but more to feel the culture Hanfu possesses, as well as the inspiration and significance (意义) of the mural, which made me very touched and glad," she said.

In July this year, a group of international students from Canada visited Zhang, hoping to work together to restore Hanfu based on murals that have been lost overseas. Zhang is excited about the project, saying, "Even if the national treasures cannot return to the country, restoring Hanfu based on them allows these lost treasures to be seen by more people. It's also a contribution from us young people."

Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colourful wild flowers. Water runs into little pools. Birds make their homes in boxes. The Augustenborg Botanical Roof (屋顶) Garden may look just like any other well- planned park but there's a difference. It lies on the roofs of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmö in Sweden. 

Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again.  The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people. 

Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the "urban heat island effect". On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below. 

Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage (排水) system.  ▲  And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something that completely separates from it. 

 While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic, whether you're at school, in an office or just at home in a ten- floor block?
