Eric Liddell was known as the flying Scotsman（苏格兰人）because he ran so fast. But he is most remembered as a man of honor and bravery.

 He was born in 1902 in Tianjin, north China. In Chinese, he was known as Li Airui. Eric lived in China until the age of five. After that his parents sent him to school in England. In 1920, Eric went to the University of Edinburgh to study science.

Sports played a large part in his life and he became the fastest runner in Scotland. He was chosen to be part of Britain's 1924 Olympic team. The games were in Paris. The 100-meter race was his best event, but it was to be held on a Sunday. Eric, a strong Christian（基督徒），refused to run on Sundays because he believed that it should be a day of rest as the Bible（圣经）teaches.

 Although many people told him to run the race, he refused. Instead he started to train for other distances. At the Olympics he won a bronze medal in the 200-meter race and then a gold medal in the 400-meter race, setting a world record.

 Though then famous in Scotland, Eric still loved and remembered China. He wanted to go back to the country where he was born. In 1925, he went to China and worked as a middle school teacher in Tianjin. Then he went to Hebei Province to help the poor people there.

 After the Japanese invaded（入侵）China, Eric chose to stay. He wanted to help the sick and give hope to the Chinese people. In 1943, the Japanese sent him to a prison camp（集中营）in Weifang. Even in the camp, he continued to help the old people. He also arranged games for the children, and taught them science.

 In 1945, Eric was very ill. He was given a chance to leave the camp but he refused. Instead he gave this chance to a pregnant woman. This inspiring man died six months before the end of the war. Many people still remember his service to the Chinese people of that area.

    Long long time ago, the Creator created a man and a woman, they lived together very happily for a time. But then they began to get angry with each other, and at last the woman left and started off to the Sun land in the east.

    The man followed alone and felt very sad, but the woman kept on ahead and never looked behind, until the Creator, took pity on him and asked him if he was still angry with his wife. He said he was not, and the Creator then asked him if he would like to have her back again. He answered yes.

    So the Creator created a patch（一块）of the fine stripe（成熟的）tomatoes along the way in front of the woman，but she passed by like seeing nothing at all. Later，he put a patch of beautiful flowers but again she refused to notice. Until suddenly she saw in front of her a patch of large ripe strawberries. They looked delicious.

    She stopped to pick a few to eat，and as she ate them she turned her face to the west by accident，and at once she remembered her husband and she found herself unable to go on. She sat down，but the longer she waited，the more she missed her husband，and at last she took a lot of the best strawberries and started back along the way to give them to him. He met her kindly and they went home together.

    My best holiday trip is one to Fraser's Hill in Selangor. It was the school holidays and my parents had booked a small house on top of the hill just one and a half hours' drive from our home.

    We started early in the morning by car. My brother, sister and I sat in the car excitedly thinking about the cool weather and the walk in the wood. We arrived at Kuala Kubu for breakfast. It was a little town that had many old buildings.

    Further along the way, we stopped at the lakeside to take pictures. Along its banks were some villages. The journey up the hills was interesting with tropical rainforest(热带雨林).

    Finally, we reached the Gap where we were allowed to go up to Fraser's. When we reached the town centre, a strange clock tower, old police station, and cute golf course greeted us. We stopped for lunch at a Chinese food restaurant. Then, we got to the house we booked.

    It was eating, sleeping, or playing cards all day as it was raining. We looked cool in our jackets as we walked along the road for dinner in town that night. It was dark when we went back. We were excited using our torches(手电筒). The next day was spent at the waterfalls 15 kilometers away and walked near the town. We had lunch at a Hainanese restaurant before checking out at 1 pm. People there were very friendly. We thanked them and said goodbye to the cool place before we made our way back to the polluted city.
