Although half a century has passed, Shao Guohua never forgot the film ticket his teacher gave him that warmed his heart when he was a boy. Shao entered a primary school in Zigong, SichuanProvince, in 1960. Back then, sports and watching movies were the students' favorite times.

Once, the school organized a trip to the movies for the students, and many of Shao's classmates signed up(报名)for it. But the boy had no money to buy 0. 05-yuan ticket. When his classmates lined up to enter the movie theater, the boy stood alone outside. Then Shao's Chinese teacher Mo Xunru saw him and bought a ticket for him.He can't remember what movie it was, but Shao never stopped being thankful to his teacher.

"Ms. Mo made twenty or thirty yuan a month back then, so a 0.05-yuan ticket may not be a big deal for her. But for me, it moved me deeply," said 63-year-old Shao.

After graduating( 毕 业 ) from primary school, Shao moved to another city along with his parents. In the following years, he tried to find his former(以前的)teachers and classmates, but failed. It wasn't until this year that Shao Guohua visited his teacher, Mo Xunru after 50 years." The reunion ( 重 聚 ) was emotional, " said Shao, who is over sixty himself now. " The 89-year-old Mo did not hear well anymore and seemed to not know me at first sight, but she was still as kind as she used to be." Shao left 1, 000 yuan to his teacher as well as a letter which reads:

"Dear Ms. Mo, wish you good health. Your student: Shao Guohua."

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she was greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) who seemed happy to say hello. These lovely penguins welcomed and started a trip that Ginni would never forget. 

Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel when she was young. As a professional dancer she travelled around the UK, but always hoped to find more. When she retired from dancing,  ★ 

After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel around the world and found a job teaching English in Japan and Chile. It was in Chile she discovered she could get a cheap ticket going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, "I just decided I wanted to go." she says. "I had no idea about what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous. I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always love it that way."

In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship to begin the journey to Antarctica with 48 passengers. "From seeing the wildlife to enjoying sunrises, the whole experience was wonderful. Antarctica is better than any other place," Ginni says. "I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale (座头鲸): it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature (生物) and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the beautiful sound it was making underwater."

The realization that Antarctica is a valuable and important land which needs to be respected (尊敬) by humans is the biggest thing for Ginni.
