Recently, I’ve found many old photos of Mom, Dad, David, me and my first dog Coco.They meant a lot to me.I wondered how to keep them forever.Luckily, my son used a new app to clear up and improve some of the old photos.Looking at them brought back so many loving and happy memories.I even used one as my computer screen saver (屏保).
It is a picture of me sitting in my favorite chair, across from the wood stove (炉子) next to a bookcase full of old books.I am wearing my special Snoopy shirt and hugging Coco.There is a big smile on my face and a joyful shining light in my eyes.It was how I spent a lot of my winter afternoons as a girl, hugging Coco and reading an old book.
It is surprising how 60 years later that girl still lives inside of me.I still love comfortable chairs, warm stoves, Snoopy clothes, hugging dogs and reading books on cold winter days.But when I look in the mirror now, all I see is a thin face, grey hair, and lots of wrinkles (皱纹).The only thing that hasn’t completely changed is the eyes.They are hiding behind glasses now and full of wisdom (智慧) given by ages.But they still have that same joyful shining light.
Looking at the little girl smiling at me from the computer screen and that 66-year-old woman looking back at me in the mirror can be a little bit strange at times.They look so different.However, they are both me.We can’t stop getting older, but we can remain both joyful and young at heart forever.

“If Qi meets a great king, it’ll send the best ambassador (使臣).I’m the worst.That’s why I’m here.” Yan Zi replied calmly (镇定地).At this time, the guards brought a thief (小偷) to the king.The thief was from Qi.“Ha! Yan Zi, is Qi a state of thieves ” asked the king 5.impolitely.

Xu Xiake was an explorer of the late Ming Dynasty who travelled huge mountains and deep valleys in China.He was one of the greatest explorers in Chinese history.

After his death, Xu left behind his famous book,Xu Xiake’s Travels, which provides meaningful materials to the Chinese geological research.It included a record of what he saw, heard and thought about during his travels and was a personal diary that was not published during his lifetime.It was said that Xu was a filial (孝顺的) son and the beginning purpose of his travel diary was to allow his mother to travel the world through his eyes at home.He followed the ancient teaching that says, “When one’s parents are alive, one must not travel to far places.” For this reason, when his mother was still alive, he mainly travelled the southeast half of the country and would not leave home for too long.
The most important part of his travels was his ten-thousand-mile journey to the southwest.He travelled from Zhejiang to Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, then Guizhou, and Yunnan.This journey took him four years and he wrote about ten times more than he did in the past.In the morning, he would be climbing the mountains and crossing the rivers.At night, he would lay out a piece of paper and record his daily experiences beside an oil lamp.
Xu lived his life travelling mountains and rivers all day long.He was an outstanding person in history.In fact, Xu who lived about 400 years ago was more like today’s backpackers—very cool!

Ming Dynasty.

His famous book, Xu Xiake’s Travels.

Xu Xiake was an explorer of the late Ming Dynasty who travelled huge mountains and deep valleys in China.He was one of the greatest explorers in Chinese history.
Xu’s travels were totally up to him and done on his own.He travelled so that his feet could feel strong winds beat his body; he travelled so that his feet could kiss the soil of the mountains.
After his death, Xu left behind his famous book,Xu Xiake’s Travels, which provides meaningful materials to the Chinese geological research.It included a record of what he saw, heard and thought about during his travels and was a personal diary that was not published during his lifetime.It was said that Xu was a filial (孝顺的) son and the beginning purpose of his travel diary was to allow his mother to travel the world through his eyes at home.He followed the ancient teaching that says, “When one’s parents are alive, one must not travel to far places.” For this reason, when his mother was still alive, he mainly travelled the southeast half of the country and would not leave home for too long.
The most important part of his travels was his ten-thousand-mile journey to the southwest.He travelled from Zhejiang to Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, then Guizhou, and Yunnan.This journey took him four years and he wrote about ten times more than he did in the past.In the morning, he would be climbing the mountains and crossing the rivers.
Xu lived his life travelling mountains and rivers all day long.He was an outstanding person in history.In fact, Xu who lived about 400 years ago was more like today’s backpackers—very cool!
