Many people still remember the beautiful dance “Thousand-hand Guanyin” in the CCTV Spring Festival Party. The lead dancer of the dance is Tai Lihua.

    When Tai Lihua was two years old, she lost her hearing because of a fever, then she became mute (哑的), too. From then on, her world was silent. But she didn't know this at first. At the age of five, when her schoolmates in kindergarten (幼儿园) played a game about sound, she discovered that she was different from others. She was very sad about it. Her father went to many places to look for the best treatments for her illness. But nothing worked. When she was seven years old, she went to a school for deaf and mute children. In that school, she did well in her studies. Her teacher said she was good at expressing her feelings through dance.

    She also began to love dance and dance became her favorite. She thought she could use dance to express what she thought about life. She worked hard at it and her hard work made her successful. She has been to many other countries to perform and many foreigners like her style.

    "Doctor Johnson, I don't want to eat now, that's because nothing has a taste for me. It's been like this for long. In fact, I didn't have a delicious meal after I caught a terrible cold last month, What can I do?"

    "Here are some medicine, Mrs. Harris. Take three pills three times a day for seven days and come back and see me. But remember, don't eat anything during the week, or you can just drink some water."

    Next week an upset Mrs. Harris came into Dr. Johnson's office. "Doctor! I'm doing it just as you told me, but delicious food is still tasteless for me. I don't know what was in those pills, but the problem is worse! What do you have to say for yourself?"

    "But when and how do you take these pills?" asked the doctor.

    "At first, I took these pills three times a day, just before dinner," continued the woman, "but these pills are too bitter (苦). So I had to take these pills after three meals."

    "Calm down, Mrs. Harris," said the doctor soothingly. "Now that we've fixed your taste problem, It's OK now, we'll work on your hearing!"

Song Lian was a famous litterateur (文学家), historian and thinker in the late Yuan Dynasty (朝 代) and early Ming Dynasty.

Song Lian loved reading. But he was from a poor family, he could not afford to buy books. He borrowed books from others and returned them on time. He never broke his promise. One day, Song Lian went to borrow books from Mr. Liu who was a rich man. But he never lent books to strangers easily. Mr. Liu thought Song Lian was a hard-working man so he agreed to lend Song Lian a book. Song Lian told Mr. Liu he would return it in three days. Mr. Liu thought for a while and said nothing. Finally, Song Lian borrowed the book home.

After he returned home, Song Lian couldn't wait to start reading. He didn't go out to play and stayed up to read.

Finally, on the third morning, Song Lian left early and returned the book to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu was very happy and praised Song Lian for his integrity (诚信). It's great to be a person with knowledge, but it's more important to be a person who keeps his promise.
