Everyone has problems. When you meet something difficult, who can you ask for advice? These people may be your classmates, parents, teachers, long-lost friends or even a real stranger. They will make your life different in some ways. What they did or said may teach you a lesson or help you recognize(认识)who you are. For example, your best friend doesn't trust you anymore. You will feel terrible and unfair at that time. But later you will find out the reasons and try your best to solve the problem. Then you will know that everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck. So the people around you and the successes and failures you have experienced will help you recognize who you are. In fact, the bad experiences are the most profound and important ones.
Please enjoy every day even every moment and learn from it because you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and listen to them. You should set your sights high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself. Then you will have a bright future.

Chang'an The film mainly develops (发展) around the lives of the great poets Li Bai and Gao Shi, showing their deep friendship. It also introduces other famous people from that time. In the film, there are many well-known poems (诗) that we can read and learn in today's textbooks. The film shows the beauty of many old cities, like Chang'an and Tongguan. Never Say Never Never. Say Never is adapted (改编) from real-life events. Its director, Mr. Wang, wants to help a group of poor children from small villages. He started to prepare the film in 2017. Describing the film as "a story of finding a way out", Wang said it not only helped him get out of a difficult situation (情境) but also holds great meaning for his own life. Oh My School! The film is an adaption of a network cartoon series (系列) that came out between 2014 and 2018. This film is set in a junior high school in Changchun Northeast China. It tells the interesting story of Wang Qiang, a naughty student who unexpectedly (意外地) exchanges (交换) bodices with Shi Miaona, a strict teacher, leading to many funny stories. |
