In 2009, Phil Lecomte traveled to a small town at the foot of China's Huangshan Mountain with his camera and backpack. After walking about 10 kilometers by the mountain, and just as he wanted to give up, the Frenchman saw a beautiful village— Tunxi. He fell in love with the beautiful nature there.
Lecomte lived in Tunxi for three months. Tunxi is most famous for its Huizhou culture street that has a history of hundreds of years. "I didn' t want to leave here anymore," Lecomte said. His trip to China turned into a long stay.
He often hikes or rides a motorbike with his friends, away from the busy cities, to find hidden scenery(隐秘的风景) around Huangshan Mountain. They come to the fields by rivers, ancient(古老的) villages, and forests again and again.
Lecomte likes taking photos wherever he goes. Up till now he has taken more than 118,000 photos in China. Now, he shares these photos on Chinese social media(社交媒体). One of his favorite photos shows a little girl building a snowman in an ancient street. "The girl was me when I was little!" a young woman said excitedly after the photo was posted.
Lecomte still has a photo of his childhood home ...
Many of us have ever loved the two toy bears — a brown Teddy bear and a yellow Winnie-the-Pooh bear. The two toy bears come from real stories in life.
In 1902, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the USA, went hunting (打猎). The hunting dogs found an old bear in the forest near Washington DC and the guide asked the president to shoot (射杀) it. But President Roosevelt disagreed. A cartoonist drew a cartoon showing that the president refused to shoot the bear. Soon people named the bear Teddy which was Theodore's nickname (昵称).
In 1913, a captain named Harry Colebourn paid twenty dollars for a yellow bear which was born in Canada. The captain's hometown, Winnipeg, was the origin (起源) of the bear's name. When World War I began, the captain went to France. Winnie was sent to London Zoo. Because of its lovely look, the bear became popular with children.
