(2023滨州改编)A set of photos of a boy carrying his tennis rackets in a bamboo basket has gone viral(走红).
The boy, Wang Fa, 14, is a member of the Va ethnic group(佤族) from Yunnan.After winning the under-14 title(冠军) in the Guangzhou stop of the 2022 ASICS Tennis Junior Tour, an audience(观众) member from Yunnan gave him the bamboo basket as a gift and the photos were taken.

Over the past six years, Wang, along with other players at the Yunnan Wild Elephants Tennis Club, has trained hard to improve his skills and physical strength.Every day, they need to swing a racket more than 7,000 times and run 9 kilometers.
“If it were not for tennis, I would still be helping out my family with farmwork back home,” Wang said.
Wang's parents didn't want him to learn tennis at first because they couldn't afford it.But the tennis club offered to teach him for free.For Wang, winning the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour title was the beginning of a hopeful future.“I will aim for the top spots(位置) on the professional stage,” he said.

The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for elderly people in China.The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar(农历).As the Chinese word for nine has the same sound as the word for long, people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes of long life for elderly people.
There are many traditions for this festival.On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck and in the hope that elderly people will live much longer.They also drink chrysanthemum wine(菊花酒) and wear a plant called zhuyu to celebrate it.Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are regarded as clean plants that can clean houses and cure diseases.
Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life.For example, when an older person enters a room, everyone stands up.When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest.When a younger person is presenting something to an older person, two hands are used.On a crowded subway or bus, younger people always offer their seats to elderly people.
It is a traditional virtue(美德) in China to respect elderly people.That's because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from.So, Chinese people are proud of being old.Besides, to respect the elderly people is to respect yourself tomorrow.
