Imagine moving to a new country. There you know almost no one and you don't speak the language. Eighty years ago, my grandmother, Jean Rizzi, did just that.

    Like so many immigrants from Europe, her first stop in America was Ellis Island, in New York. The immigration station on Ellis Island opened 125 years ago. From 1892 to 1954, over 12 million foreigners entered America through Ellis Island.

    My grandmother's journey started near Naples, Italy. Her father got a job in New York years earlier. After he saved enough money, he sent for his family to join him. In November 1936, his wife and three kids got on a ship to New York. At just 8 years old, my grandmother didn't know what to expect. "I was nervous," she says. "But I was also excited about finally getting to see my new home in big city."

    For nearly two weeks, they were at sea and couldn't see any land. They all stayed in one small room on the boat.  When the boat arrived at Ellis Island, my grandmother thought the journey was over. But she and her family still had to be examined by doctors. Finally, they were off to their new home in Queens, New York. My grandmother still lives there.

    Ellis Island is now a popular tourist attraction in New York. More than 3 million people visit it each year. To immigrants like my grandmother, the island is a symbol of freedom and the American dream.

Xing Bin is a 47-year-old teacher in Linyi University in Shandong province. He has worked there for 19 years. At the end of 2022, he experienced the work of a delivery rider (外卖骑手). More than half a year later, he shared his understanding and thoughts online, which quickly caused heated discussions.

Xing Bin was so interested in the life and work of a delivery rider that he decided to be one from December 22nd to January 20th. During the month, Xing worked more than 10 hours and took 30,000 steps a day. He lost 6 kilograms and made a total of 7,000 yuan. On average, he made 10 yuan each hour, and 20 yuan at most.

"During that month, I tasted the bitterness (苦难) and the happiness of this job with my heart," Xing said. "I delivered over 2,000 orders, and three deliveries impressed (使印象深刻) me a lot. One took place late at night when I delivered food to a village where there were no streetlights. The couple who ordered the food were afraid that I would get lost in the middle of the night. So they used a flashlight to walk me out of the small village to the main road."

Xing now understands the difficulties of delivery workers better and realizes how hard they work to make a living. "I also hope that more people can understand delivery workers and show more respect towards them," he said. "I will continue to try different jobs every year in the future."

Spain is famous for its tomato festival, called La Tomatina. It happens in the town of Bunol in the Valencia region in Spain on the last Wednesday of August every year. During the festival there are all kinds of activities, but the most exciting part is the tomato fight. It takes place(发生) at the end of long celebration. You're encouraged to throw tomatoes in the fight. There're many stories about how the festival began. One of the stories goes that during the 1940s, some friends started a tomato fight, while another story is about a local band. Anyway, everyone in Bunol seems to have a different story. 

Before the tomato fight, there are parades(游行), musical bands, street parties and so on. On the day of the fight, shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the tomato fight. At the same time, thousands of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks(卡车) full of tomatoes arrive. From the back of the large trucks, a great town band start to throw tomatoes at others. Then the crowds fight back. throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone. Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice. 

Everyone is supposed to obey a small number of rules. You must squash(压烂) the tomato before throwing it and you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes. 

It is usually over in less than half an hour. Everyone then sets off to the river to clean up. Sounds like fun!
