My Favorite Traditional Chinese Story
There are many traditional stories in China. Among all of the stories, I like Yu Gong Moves the Mountains best.
Once upon a time, there was an old man called Yu Gong. There were two high mountains near his home. They were so high that it took him a long time to walk to the other side. So he decided to move the mountains. Yu Gong and his family began to move the mountains. They kept moving them day after day, year after year. Finally, a god was so moved that he took the mountains away. The story tells us that nothing is impossible as long as we work hard. We should not give up.
