One day, a bird keeper was feeling the king's favourite bird when it escaped (逃走) from the cage and flew away. When the king learned of that , he was mad and immediately ordered that the bird keeper be killed.
People were upset. They felt that their king was too harsh (残酷的) over a small matter. The king's minister(大臣) realized this and hurried to the palace. He said, "I'm sorry for your loss. It's fair for you to put the bird keeper to death for he has three crimes(犯罪). Please allowed me to point them out to the man so that he can die knowing his mistakes.
People in the room were shocked by the minister's words. The king, however, agreed and asked his men to bring the bird keeper. The minister walked towards him and said, " Listen ! You were so careless that you let the bird fly away. This is your first crime. You made the king angry, causing him to have a man killed because of a bird. This is your second crime. Finally, your death will lead the people to believe that their king is harsh since he values a pet far more than the life of a human being, This is your third crime.
Hearing this, the whole palace went silent. The king was ashamed(羞愧). Then he said," Free the bird keeper. I'm really lucky to have my minister. Let everyone learn from his courage(勇气)."
High—speed trains China created its first high—speed railway line in 2008. Since then, many visitors have travelled around China by high—speed trains. China is working on new high—speed trains that will have a top speed of 400 kilometers per hour. These high—speed trains will connect more than 80 percent of main cities across China. | Shared Bikes Shared bike services started in western countries. Unlike traditional bike—sharing methods, China's shared bikes allow users to simply pickup or park on the street. People just need to scan a QR code (扫描二维码) on a shared bike with a smartphone app. After you finish riding, you can park it everywhere, lock it and pay for your ride. |

What's more,in some countries around the world, they can also use Alipay or WeChat pay. | Online Shopping China has the largest number of Internet users in the world.

And online shopping also helps to provide jobs for many people. |
