"Red peach hair next" material. Is rice and glutinous rice soak in water for a few hours, respectively, to make rice quality pine hydrophobic, remove dry stone mortar into fine powder, after dry. This is to be "red peach method next" main ingredient. Sweep up to choose an auspicious day, is an unusual thing. The Japanese, and are most busy housewives, clean up the inside and out of the room, for some years to use less cleaning.
December 24, is the period of the legendary "heaven god". Day, every family to worship "sugar peach". A square red paper, with jelly into a peach shape, become "peach". It touch live "sovereign" du mouth, let its "some god that speaks well of us fall to the ground. Chinese New Year to worship the "Sir", also is the god. The sacrifices of god are three: "red peach hair next", "the mouse shell next", "vegetable next".

Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I?m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
First I want to ask you some questions:
1、 Do you know what is youth?
2、 How do you master your youth?
Youth
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
That?s all !
Thank you!
女士们，先生们，下午好！我？我很高兴能站在这里给你一个简短的演讲。今天我的主题是“青春”。我希望你会喜欢它，并发现在你的年轻人的重要性，让更多的珍惜它。
首先我想问你一些问题：
1你知道什么是青春吗？
2，你如何掌握你的`青春？
青年
青春不是生命的时候，它是一种精神状态；它不是红润的脸颊、红润的嘴唇和柔软的膝盖，它是一种情绪的物质：它是新鲜的；它是生命深处的新鲜。
青春意味着勇气驱走怯懦气贯长虹，冒险战胜安逸。这往往存在于一个60岁以上的男子，比一个20岁的男孩。没有人会变老，只是靠一些年。不思进取。
岁月在皮肤上起皱纹，但放弃热情则会使灵魂起皱。忧虑，恐惧，自我不信任扭曲了心灵，把精神变成了尘土。
16的60，在每个人都有？心奇迹的诱惑惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰的什么？下一步和生活中的快乐。在你的心和我的心在那里？是一个无线电台：只要它接收来自人类和无限的美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信息，只要你年轻。
当天线倒塌时，你的心灵蒙上玩世不恭的霜雪和悲观厌世的冰凌，那么你已经老了，甚至在20，但只要你竖起天线，捕捉乐观的信号，你就有希望在80岁死去。
那？都是！
谢谢你！
i always think there is not enough time. for example, i have just taken athree-day holiday. but when i look back, i just feel that it’s only one day.there goes a proverb, “time is money”.
now i want to say, time is more precious than money, because when money isspent, we can earn some more again. however, when time is gone or lost, neverwill it return.
time goes without being noticed. the time for our study and work is usuallylimited. so i think we must make full use of our time. but it’s a pity that i amalways not aware of the importance of time until it’s too late.
so i think, i should get into the good habit of saving time because wastingtime is equal to wasting one’s life. do not put off what can be done today tilltomorrow!
Hello,everybody !it is my great honor to be here to share my idea with you .Today,I will talk something about DREAM——A word that has changed the world .
“What do you think is the word that has really changed our world ”
When I was asked about this question for the first time ,without thinking it too much ,a word flash into my mind ——DREAM ,D-R-E-A-M.People more or less dream about different things ,to be a teacher ,a doctor ,a scientist ,a businessman and so on .All these people who have dreams should be respected ,because Dreams make the world go around .We grow great by our dreams.All big men are great dreamers in their youth.Everyone has a dream ,and everything starts as one’s daydream.
Martin Luther king had a dream.He desired for a future where blacks and whites would coexist harmoniously as equals.By speaking the way he did,he educated,he inspired,he informed not just the people there,but people throughout America and unborn generations.He pushed forward the pace of American black society towards the racial equality .
Thomas Edison had a dream.He dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity,began where he stood to put his dream into action,and despite more than ten thousand failures,he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality!And today,his dream lights up the world at night.
Walt Disney had a dream.This,in itself,wasn't unusual -- he was always dreaming.He dreamed of making the first animated feature film,and of building an amusement park that parents could enjoy right along with their kids.Walt Disney empowered his dream and today,Disneyland,Disney world and Disney theme parks attract around the world thrill millions of visitors each and every year.
John F.kennedy had a dream.He wanted to land a man on the moon and return him safely to earth so as to restore faith in the American way of life.John F.kennedy empowered his dream and 8 years later Neil Armstrong stepped on the face of the moon.The moon landing certainly gave Americans new found confidence.
Dream --- A word that has changed the world Yes ,I would say so ,wouldn’t you
Youth is a special life relay station ,the growth with the worry ,the life feeling become aware happily with the dream ,collected a unique youth melody in here .
We decide.We choose.And as we decide and choose,so are our lives formed.In the end,forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.And most importantly ,You are the one you choose to be.
It is easy to waste our lives ,our days ,our minutes .It is easy to exist than living .So hold fast to your dreams,For if dreams die,life is a broken-winged bird,That cannot fly.Hold fast to your dreams,For when dreams go,life is a barren field,Frozen with snow.
The ancients cloud: where there is a will have become.
Everyone should know what is your goal. Everyone at every stage of goals and different for example: a childhood dream always by great man as a model is active; Student dreams become rich color fantasy; After getting out of school dream begin to pay close attention to life hope to take over the impulse of young career; rock Had a target life becomes full of meaning - cut seem clear clear to set before you. What should go to do and what should not do why and do for whom do all the factors are clear and obvious. So life will add more vitality and passion.
Target can again decomposition life goals can be divided into long-term goal and short-term goals my short-term goal is to learn professional knowledge skills the long-term goal is to be able to spell out a piece of my world! "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step。 Even with the goal to realize it also need - a process. Successful people are the most ideal the wisest and most perseverance most firm. They know - cut success is not - cuju all need through of painstaking efforts constantly
improve and enhance; Successful people never to meet with only things done and will ask themselves constantly to do even better access to greater success. I think I will also is a successful man!
Hope we each - personal formulated from now on life goal starting from bit to carry out the goals. Abandon that repeats himself to drag a mediocre life trying to dig their own internal potential to stimulate your sparkle believe that gold sooner or later no matter where luminous of truth no matter what difficulties and obstacles and will eventually succeed.
Thank you!
古人云：有志者，事竟成。
每个人应该清楚自己的人生目标是什么。每个人在每个阶段的目标又不一样，例如:儿时的梦想总以伟人当榜样，是积极的;学生时代，梦想变的富有色彩，充满幻想;走出校门后，梦想开始关注生活，希望借着年轻的冲动大干一翻事业; 有了目标，人生就变的充满意义，—切似乎清晰、明朗地摆在你的面前。什么是应当去做的，什么是不应当去做的，为什么而做，为谁而做，所有的要素都是那么明显而清晰。于是生活便会添加更多的活力与激情。 。
目标可以再分解，人生目标可分为长远目标和短期目标，我短期目标是学好专业知识技能，长期目标是能拼出自己的一片天地!
“千里之行，始于足下”。即使有了目标，实现它也需要—个过程。成功的人是最有理想、最明智，也是最有毅力、最坚定。他们懂得—切的成功都不是—蹴而就的，都需要通过艰苦卓绝的努力，不断地改进和提高;成功的人绝不会只以事情做完为满足，而会要求自己不断地做得更好，以获取更大的成功。我觉得我也会是个成功的人!
希望我们每—个人从现在开始就制定人生目标，从点滴做起，落实人生目标。抛弃那种无聊地重复着自己平庸的生活，努力去挖掘自己内在的潜力，激发自己的闪光点，相信是金子不论在哪里迟早都会发光的道理，不管遇到什么艰难险阻，终究会取得成功。
谢谢!
Good morning:
Honorable judges, dear teachers and close friends. I’m very glad to stand here to share my speech with you. Today I’m going to talk about Love and Take care of Nature.Each life on the earth has a long and touching evolutionary story. From the origin, the lives of the human being are equal to those of others; they both are the composing parts of Mother Nature. Nevertheless, for some inexplicable reasons, the human becomes the spirits of all creatures. Of course, it is the result of the evolution, but still we should be grateful to all our companions in nature for the opportunity they offer. In spite of this, humans cannot live without earth.
They live on the earth, drink the sweet water, and enjoy the sunshine, the air, the sky, the fruit; the grains utilize the energy and so on. In a word, the human being cannot live without nature, and Mother Nature makes us grow stronger. I do not like the word "Pet", but preferring the word "Animal" instead. I have been loving animal since I was just a little boy. When thinking of the "Pet Fashion", I always feel much annoyed. For the animals will be given a shackle and lose their liberty if they become someone's pets. Their natural attribution can be deprived, too. Up to now, relying on their scientific power, the human have opened up too much and over developed nature, in order to fill up their growing appetites of wealth.
They destroy the balance of nature, however, they don't realize, their own development and existence will be threatened. Therefore, our sights should be focused on nature and we should try to develop the concept of "keeping human and nature in unity". We should lay emphasis on our education with consider cultural and natural emotion. To use the vivid example to wake up the conscience in people's hearts.
Thank you!

Should Smoking in Public Places be Banned?
Nowadays many countries in the world have passed laws to ban smoking in public places. Some smokers claim that their rights are infringed if smoking is forbidden in public places. However, most non-smokers regard the ban as good news. As far as I’m concerned, smoking should be banned in all the public places such as restaurants, theaters and public squares.
On the one hand, smoking is harmful both for smokers themselves and others. It is reported that every year smoking causes millions of death around the world. On the other hand, smoking pollutes the air. Just imagine that you sit in a restaurant full of smoke, how can you enjoy your meal there? Besides, smoking is bad for the elevation of a country’s image in the world.
I believe if smoking is banned in all the public places, most of us will breathe in more fresh and clean air. And the health condition of all the people will be greatly improved.

公共场所是否应该禁止吸烟?
现在世界上许多国家都通过了禁止在公共场所吸烟的法律。一些吸烟者声称，如果公共场所禁止吸烟，他们的权利受到侵犯。然而，大多数非吸烟者认为禁令是好消息。就我而言，在所有的公共场所，如餐馆、剧院和公共广场都应该禁止吸烟。
一方面，吸烟对吸烟者本身和其他人都有害。据报道，每年吸烟导致全世界数百万人死亡。另一方面，吸烟污染空气。想象一下，你坐在一个烟雾弥漫的餐馆里，你怎么能享受那里的饭菜?此外，吸烟不利于一个国家形象的'提升。
我相信，如果在所有公共场所禁止吸烟，我们大多数人都会呼吸到更多清新的空气。全民健康状况将得到极大改善。
Why are so many people afraid of failure? Quite simply because no one tells us how to lead failure experience to growth.We forget that failure is part of life and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from it. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child's hurriedly-made table as "perfect!" even though it couldn't stand on uneven legs. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails the exam, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
The trouble with failure-prevention methods is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time.it's possible to enjoy a game even when you don't win. A child who's not invited to a birthday party or enrolled in the baseball team feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick comfort prize or say, "It doesn't matter" because it does. The young should experience disappointment and master it.
Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children exactly alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask, "Why did I fail?" Control the natural impulse to blame someone else.Ask yourself what you did wrong, how to improve. If someone else can help, don't be shy about asking them.Failure is never pleasurable.

Dream flying
Our ordinary life is a dream, from the very moment of landing, we are a dream to come! Similarly, we left this world at the time, it will also be left with their own dreams. Call in the dream, we gradually grew up thinking of gradually mature, and have learned more and more, understand more and more. Our dream is also more and more content, more and more rich. One can not forget that book title mountain crossing the sea during the day and night; not forget that the coexistence of a bitter years of joy; not forget that a bit more earnest remainding respectable mentor taught ... ... 。
The face of the past, we open their minds and hearts of the door, bathed in sunlight to accept and listen to exhort the time, we dream of flying. Is to achieve the dream of the cornerstones of long-term vision; the dream is the beginning of the power savings; dream world is a necessary condition for rational; dream Qijia country is the premise of the world is flat. To this end, the respect of ethics, education can be clearly responsible for, love. We will be ready at all times ... ... Singing rooster dawn broke through the silence, awakened the dream of youth, the old lamp that lit the lamp immortal, with the aid of a weak good care of the light heavy luggage, embark on a new journey began. Eastern rising sun, leaving a string attached to their native land is the footprints of the feelings and give up. Goodbye dear land, we have our dreams, we all need to face new. The rudder has been the fate into their own hands, taking their own route. Believe in yourself and you work hard, must be clear after dark. To do the masters of time, for every seconds, when the ship set sail hard, you are ready? Show your style and create brilliant tomorrow. said that the sky did not leave traces of the birds, but I have been over. Is an eagle, it is necessary to fly across the sky, is a tree, it is necessary to cast a time, the courage to go flying, the courage to go into, you dream of flying, I believe you will be more brilliant tomorrow, tomorrow you will be more exciting. Cherish the present, should grasp the opportunity. Friends, the dream of flying now, let us gather in the glory of that day.
students, we come from? to hear this question, i am sure you will say that parents are taken to put us up in the world.yes ah, one day more than a decade ago, our parents happy with tears and smiles to greet the arrival of the u.s..but when we came to the world the moment that many parents have a hard job - we take care of.this is even though a heavy burden, but has no complaints to parents raising me up.
in order to give us a comfortable living environment, they are always so hard, then the effort.small, i always treat this iue as a matter of course, because i do not know, nor do i know the hard work of parents.now, i grew up, and i know with a heart of thanksgiving to appreciate their parents, should take on, take care of, the responsibility of your parents
there is an old said: "the milk of the sheep have to kneel tu, a feed has meaning." bit by bit, our growth can not be separated from their parents to help when the water springs of the tu reported that, therefore, we should know how to feel gratitude for it, know how to thank their parents .
call us first time parents, first step towards independence, the first to write a word askew when ......are parents around to teach us patience.parents, are giving us god does not require any modification of the sustenance of the soul.
when we are confronted with difficulties, to devote all of us to help people, their parents are.
when we are wronged, to be patient to listen to our cry of the people, their parents are.
when we make mistakes, he will not hesitate to forgive us who are parents.
when we succeed, would like for us to celebrate, to share with us the pleasure, are the parents.
and now far away in our field study, it is still concerned about our parents.
......
now i left the distant parents, came here, the mother will ask me homesick, i very firmly said: "no, certainly not!"
but to the school, in the face of unfamiliar faces unfamiliar environment, i want to cry well.are upset when the home to the phone, the mother the right to ask me please.my tears quickly down, and tried to not let her find.
not familiar with the latter slowly, although it was no longer such as homesickne, but there are always unhappy when the advent of a lot of times at night, when feeling lonely, they will naturally think of distant family members, think of it in the remote mountain village in their own lives more than a dozen of the spring and autumn, and a phone call out greetings and listen to the voices of parents and that kind.
if the mother is always a few, but each time i was swept away the boredom, disappeared: "children in school right? anything better at home, not to mi too much."
always mi my mother, my diet iving, asked me in the distant land still used to the life, always asked of me to take care of the body, the mother-friendly sound, so i do not mi how the family it?
phone, some hoarse voice of his father, the father honestly going to say too much so, the phone, he always ask me "are not eating, there is no cost of living, the better to eat it." but i was well aware that his father with his hard-working to raise his children, with his simple character education of his children, his father is proud of the child.不善言辞rallied behind him, he put into the love to other people talk about when their children face in a brilliant smile.
in our rural areas, raising me and my brother is not easy, let alone reading we want to send.faced with huge fees, parents insist teeth, and put the burden of any of their livelihood on the shoulder bending, no complaints.
now, we are studying or working outside, guarding the empty house, then the phone will become the parents of the happy things.us a call back and tell other parents some乐滋滋situation.i think that they are perhaps the most happy moment.
while at home is far, far more than thousands of miles away from their parents, but parents also give care at the time around my side, my parents give me endle effort to encourage one another through the lonely times, they are the spirit of my pillar.
life is not perfect as imagined, our parents are not hard to understand, although we should not live with their parents to share the hardships of a difficult start, but we can be le in their daily lives for their parents to worry about.when parents fall ill, we should take responsibility, take care of their parents? want to know, even if an interest in words, even a bowl of instant noodles themselves to do a good job, parents who will comfort the hearts of our anxiety in every poible way.parent thanksgiving, is not difficult to do.
will remember to thank our long-distance may be on the road give us a bowl of water to drink the ladies, perhaps will remember our appreciation to the seat of the big brother, will recall that appreciation may be hard to train our own teachers ......yes, they of course want to thank us, and can be at the same time, we should not forget that parents are always the most worthy of our appreciation of the people!
我的生命本是一张空白的画纸，是父母将我带到了这个世界，于是，生命的画纸上开始有了颜色——热情的红色，纯净的白色，明亮的黄色，闲适的绿色，偶尔也会出现只是淡淡的。
失败时，父母总会在身旁鼓舞我;伤心时，父母总会安慰我;成功时，父母也会跟着我开心的笑;犯错时，父母总会耐心的教育我，开导我。
天冷了，父母常叮嘱我多穿衣服;出远门了，父母常叮嘱我注意身体。虽然有些唠叨，但却蕴涵着那深沉的爱。
我们都说母爱伟大，母爱之所以伟大，不仅在于她的忘我与无私，一杯水，一件衣服，都有着父母对我们的关怀。
我们常常想，等自己长大了，有出息了，一定要好好的报答父母。可我们何曾想过，岁月不饶人，等我们有出息了，可那时父母可能已经不在了。
“子欲养而亲不待”，世界上最大的悲哀莫过于此。父母不需要很好的物质生活，他们需要的是我们的关心。从现在起，为父母分担点吧!
My life is a blank paper, is my parents brought me into this world, so thepaper began with the color of life, enthusiastic red, pure white, bright yellow,leisurely and comfortable green, occasionally also can appear just light.
When I fail, my parents always cheer me up. My parents always comfort mewhen I'm sad. When I succeed, my parents will laugh with me. When I make amistake, my parents will always be patient with education me, enlighten me.
It's cold, my parents always tell me to wear more clothes; Far away, myparents often told me to pay attention to my body. There is some nagging, but itcontains deep love.
We all say that maternal love is great, the mother love is great, not onlyis her selflessness and selflessness, a cup of water, a clothing, all haveparents to our care.
We often think that when we grow up, we will be able to repay our parents.But we have thought, time is not rao, wait for us to have the interest, but thenparents may be no longer.
The greatest sorrow in the world is this. Parents don't need a goodmaterial life, they need our care. From now on, share points for yourparents!
good morning, everyone! my name is liu meng. im from class 7, grade 7. today, ill tell you something about the best way to learn foreign languages. in schools boys and girls are learning foreign languages. english is one of the most important languages because so many people use it, not only in england and america, but also in other countries of the world. it is difficult to say how many people are learning it. millions of boys and girls at school are trying to do it. which is the best way to learn a language? we know that we all learnt our own language well when we were children. if we learn a second language in the same way and it wont be so difficult. how does a small child do? it listens to what people say, and he tries to guess what he hears. when he wants something, he has to ask for it. he is using the language, thinking in it and talking in it all the time. if people use a second language all the time, they will learn it quickly. in school, you learn to read, to write, to hear and to speak.
it is best to learn all new words through the ear. you can read them, spell them and write them later. thats all. thank you.
I have many friends, and my best friend is my neighbor. He’ nameis Li Hua, he is eleven years old. He is tall. He likes playing football. Afterschool, we often play football together. He has a dog, he walks dog every day. Ilike to play with him.
我有很多朋友，而我最好的朋友是我的邻居。他的名字叫李华，他11岁了。他很高。他喜欢踢足球。放学后，我们经常在一起踢足球。他有一只狗，他每天都会去遛狗。我很喜欢跟他玩。
but now here's where the bias comes in. our most important institutions, our schools and our workplaces, they are designed mostly for extroverts and for extroverts' need for lots of stimulation. and also we have this belief system right now that i call the new groupthink, which holds that all creativity and all productivity comes from a very oddly gregarious place.
so if you picture the typical classroom nowadays: when i was going to school, we sat in rows. we sat in rows of desks like this, and we did most of our work pretty autonomously. but nowadays, your typical classroom has pods of desks -- four or five or six or seven kids all facing each other. and kids are working in countless group assignments. even in subjects like math and creative writing, which you think would depend on solo flights of thought, kids are now expected to act as committee members. and for the kids who prefer to go off by themselves or just to work alone, those kids are seen as outliers often or, worse, as problem cases. and the vast majority of teachers reports believing that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert, even though introverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, according to research. (laughter)
ever since the dawning of the history of mankind, there have been myriads of diversifed inventions, discoveries, and even explorations of the mysteries of the universe. in fact, the human beings are so intelligent that we have solved almost all kinds of problems we have confronted with.
however, nobody has ever made out what the word “love” really connotes, not even the most famous people such as great politicians, saints and philosophers can clarify the meaning of “love”， neither can they deal with the various affairs concerning love. love is like a huge boundless net that shrouds us all in. we can neither break away from it nor escape from it. like it or not, we are always entangled in it. it is an invisible net without any form, that shrouds in different people from different angels; it is a merciless net that upsets us or even tortures us to death. it is also a supreme net which almost no human can surpass. even if they are heroes, emperors, wise men or saints, they can do nothing but show their helplessness in its face. those who can breathe through the holes of the net should be regarded beyond commonness and vulgarity. love can bring us temporary comfort and happiness, but mostly they bring about annoyance and sufferings. maybe this is the reason why many people have seen through the illusions of the mortal world. however it is not so easy to break away from this boundless, ever-existing and indifferent net of love.
love is varied and changeable, but roughly it can be divided into three categories: family love, fraternal love and amatory love. not like monkey king who jumped out of the rocks, we were all born after mother's pregnancy of about nine months, hence we have countless relatives without any choice: parents, grand-parents, and grand-parents-in-law, uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters, etc. and once looking at the genealogical tree, we'll see no end. family love is what everyone longs for, but the warmth and support from our beloved ones are what everyone yearns for the most. but how many of us are determined to contribute to our beloved one? and how many don't expect repayment and relaxed. conscience even if they have the desire and preparation to contribute to their beloved. the distance between relatives is different and so are their expectations. but since it's very difficult to know how much we should expect, a lot of worries and distresses emerge.
parents always expect their children to show their filial obedience, or at least pay them frequent visits after they have got married. if the children fail to do this, they feel hurt and upset, and they'll even complain about their children, because they just can't understand why their children don't care about them after what they have done for the children for so many years to bring them up. nevertheless, one's experience determines his ideology. young children are naturally attached to their parents, but when they grow up, specially when they have made their own friends, and got married, what they need most is independence and freedom, and parents sometimes might become their burden. once there is generation gap, it becomes more difficult to communicate and this keeps them away from their parents. objectively speaking, they need more independence in order to achieve success. in the present society, what the children want to have most is the economic support from their parents, not their moral support or guidance. they would complain if your economic support is not up to their expectations. the love from uncles and aunties would naturally dwindle after they have had their own children. only the love from grand-parents and grand parents-in-law is pure and demands no repayment, and they are also too old to wait for any repayment. as for the distant relatives, their love depends on their needs, just as the old saying goes “the poor have no friends even if they live in downtown while the rich have distant relatives even if they live in deep mountains”。 granny liu, a distant kinsfolk, in a dream of the red mansions , claims kinship with the wealthy jia family, thinking that she may benefit from it in some ways. liu might have run away without any traces if the jia family had been a poor one. another saying goes “close neighbors are better than distant relatives.” the most difficult is to manage the relatives when doing business together, just as what the tv series program liu laogen discloses. it is all right to stay poor together, but as soon as the business grows prosperous, the group will become estranged and even dissolve because of the unfair distribution. family love is like a maze which we shouldn't go too far into it, otherwise, we'll surely get lost. love is a bilateral matter and unilateral love can only lead you to nowhere in spite of your good intentions. family love is, sometimes, like an arranged marriage, leaving no choices to you. due to the different experiences and tastes, staying together temporarily can be entertaining, while living together for a long time can only be boring due to the lack of common interest and understanding. how can we communicate with each other without understanding? parents have the duty to support the children who are not yet economically independent, and children have the responsibility to provide for the elderly parents who are lack of economic abilities to support themselves. except these two kinds of duties which we must fulfill, other kinds of love become conventional formalities such as paying visit to the sick or the dead and giving presents to the newly-born etc.
no love among relatives has become a normal phenomenon which needn't to be fussed about. what's worse is when love is contaminated by money. sooner or later we will get hurt. the sooner we get out of this net of love, the more we can preserve beautiful memories.
we are not living in vacuum, and the society is formed of various kinds of people. as long as we want to live, study, or work, we have to contact, communicate and cooperate with others. those who enjoy common interests, mutual understanding, common undertakings and common benefits become friends.
some friends are called fair-weather friends, because they are together just for entertaining themselves by eating, drinking, and gossiping. once there's nothing to eat and drink, their friendship is finished. some are spiritual friends who share common ambitions, pursuits and education. “they enjoy talking and laughing with the great talents and never make friends with the good-for-nothings”. the best examples would be yu boya and zhong ziqi of the ancient times who are famous not only for their lofty music but mainly for their lofty characters and mutual understanding and appreciation. they cared very little about material wealth, so their friendship is known as “gentlemen's friendship as pure as water”.the third type of friendship belong to those who show their utter devotion to each other. they are ready not only to share weal and woe but also to die for each other, like the three brothers liu, guan and zhang in the novel romance of the three kingdoms. . we all wish to have this kind of friendship, but it's of great difficulty for the ordinary people to be as devoted as they were.
fraternal love or friendship is wide-ranged and flexible. generally speaking, everyone is our friend, just as chairman mao says “our friends are all over the world”。 but transcend age, sex, nationality, state and economic conditions. to them the most important is common benefit, common interest and understanding. friendship is formed during the course of studying, working and fighting. the battle companions who have survived many hazards usually enjoy long-lasting friendship.
however, fraternal love is not stable. being away for too a long time, losing all common benefits, friends will become estranged. once their interest has changed, they no longer understand each other, and even this would harm friendship. at all times and in all countries, many close friends and battle companions who once worked together and fought together became enemies in the end. quiet a few of the emperors in ancient china even killed those who had helped them found their dynasties. the taiping heavenly kingdom would not have failed if it hadn't been for the contending and massacring among the those who first rose in rebellion at the beginning of the uprising. what else we need to pay attention to is that some friends, after being away from each other for too long a time, have lost so much of their original characters that when meeting again, you will feel that you are still the same as you were, while they are no longer themselves. they may have the same feeling about you, so sometimes it's better not to meet each other again. as the chinese proverb goes “friendship can not last for three years and flowers can not stay in blossom for three months”.it's not so easy to maintain real friendship which needs mutual understanding, tolerance and sacrifice. any kinds of harsh treatment will damage friendship.
amatory love has been a mystery for ages. there's neither a criterion to judge nor a common rule to follow. nobody can tell the exact reasons why love emerges. it is not always because of beauty (the ugly doorkeeper quasimodo in the hunchback of notre dame is loved by the beautiful gypsy girl esmeralda),nor kindness (hitler also has his mistress),nor wisdom ( even the blockhead may sometimes marry a beautiful girl),nor strength (some love starts from sympathy).true love is like getting an electric shock, shaking our soul. it is a sweet dream, a kind of intoxication, indulgence, and endless passion.
true love doesn't need a long time to grow up, to make clear the family tree of the other, neither does it needs the time to look ahead and behind again and again. love is not marriage, which usually starts from love, but doesn't always depend on love to maintain. long-lasting marriage can eventually turn into a kind of family love, a kind of companionship which preserves the companion but loses the passion. love is often an wink of the eye, or a smile that hints mutual understanding. in spite of the great distance between them, people may fall in love incidentally. hence the saying “a distant marriage is tied up with a mysterious thread”. love needs passion, and it can stand bumps and stumbles, ups and downs, complaints and blames. when it turns into a pool of water, especially dead water, without any billows or waves, it's time for it to die.
delicacies are tasty, but eating everyday can still make one lose appetite. happiness is what everyone longs for, but too much happiness can spoil people who may not care about the happiness they already have. it's universal to live in happiness without knowing it. the same is true with love. very few people can love the same person passionately all their lives. all love stories come to an end no matter how beautiful they are, which also demonstrate the changeability of love. what one has been chasing wildly may turn into something one wants to get rid of desperately in the end. besides, love is usually blind, especially those who fall in love at the first sight. at the very beginning, both try to demonstrate their beautiful side and cover up their weakness. fooled by the mysterious color of love, one often mistakes the weaknesses as merits. however, as time passes by, frequent contacts make one bored, and even merits become defects, and then the end of love is coming. what's more, there are the capricious men and women who never take love seriously, leaving the devoted ones suffering alone. the saying that the devoted is always abandoned by the heartless has almost become the truth of love affairs. what we can't neglect is that love may turn into hatred, and lovers may also become enemies. the best proof is the numerous divorces.
even though true love is hard to find nowadays, we still can see some true and infatuated boys and girls who readily give up their families, their parents, their studies, their careers and even their lives for love. they love so passionately, crazily and wildly that they hate anyone who is against their love, and may even harm or kill him if he insists on his objection.
love has magical power that can exploit people's potential abilities, bring people's positive factors into full play, and provide people with the courage to face trials and hardships, to go through life and death, and even to risk universal condemnation. even in the ancient feudal society, some people were courageous enough to carry on clandestine love affairs. the examples in point were the courageous ones who dared to love the concubines of the emperors or the children of their foes. love also has miraculous power which can startle the universe and move the gods by attracting the heavenly celestials coming down to earth ( the love story of the cowboy and the weaving girl ),and by turning ghosts into human ( strange tales of liao-zhai ),love can transcend age and generation (dr. sun yat-sen and madam song qingling; luxun and xu guangping).love can show contempt for all conventions and prejudices; love can heal wounds and cure diseases, and love can readjust people's state of mind. of course, the result would be the opposite once it hurts.
great men yearn for true love even more than ordinary people. since the ancient times, so many heroes couldn't help falling into the trap of love that the sex-trap has been regarded as one of the 36 stratagems in military tactics. fuchai, the king of the wu state, couldn't be spared of this trap, and generals dongzhuo and lubu fell deeply into it while xiangyu, the king of the western chu state , bid farewell to his beloved concubine in tears. people may have to pay very high price, even their illustrious name for the love they long for even though it may last for only a very short time. nonetheless no one can tear himself away from love. people often say that their earthly affinity is not yet finished, but in fact it is the love affinity that is the most difficult to finish.
love is shapeless and priceless. we can blame nobody when captured by it. love can not be forced, nor can it be pretended. sympathy is not love, neither is gratitude. love must be generated from the heart, and expressed in actions. it can not be called love without passions and a deep longing from the bottom of the heart. there's no impassable gulf between family love and fraternal love. some family love may turn into friendship. at the same time, natural barriers doesn't exist either between fraternal love and amatory love. some friendship may develop into amatory love. the same is true with amatory love which may change into family love after a long time of mutual grinding and polishing.the closer the relationship, and the higher the expectations are, the more difficult it is to get along with each other. family love, fraternal love and amatory love are three main human feelings. if handled well, they can bring us extreme happiness, while handled improperly, will bring us great sufferings.
the present society is a world of dazzling money and dwindling human feeling contacts. most people hold a snobbish attitude. they only make friends with people of wealth and of high social status. just as zhen shiyen said in his expounding of the song “all good things must end” in a dream of the red mansions “while men with gold and silver by the chest, turn beggars scorned by all and dispossessed”.frankly speaking, however, if we regard money the first thing in whichever one of the three kinds of loves, it will depreciate and even become worthless.
love can not pretend, nor can it tolerate too much selfish motives. it is reported that an old man in jiangsu province left his million yuan heritage to his young housekeeper instead of his own children, because his own children didn't take care of him while the young housekeeper accompanied him through his last lonely and helpless years.
love is easily perceivable and perceptible. flattery words may be cheatable, but true love and false feelings can easily be distinguished. if the people you love only know how to spend your money, you should be careful of them. everyone can help you spend your money if you give them the chance. never turn your love into the slave of money.
love should be selfless, and feelings should be sincere. we shouldn't judge our feelings according to the distance of the relationship. everyone treasures love and nobody can fool himself or the others. a chinese saying goes: real heroes yearn even more for true love, and great men cherish tender love for their children.
we are the saint on earth, and should treasure our love, but we should know how much is good and where to stop. since there's no ever-lasting banquet, nor is there an endless love story, we should take the gains and losses of love with perfect composure. there's fragrant grass in every corner of the earth, and you can always find your love in this world.
hello everybody，
facing all of you on the stage， i have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history.
about 170 years ago， china was forced to open up its door by western canons and gunboats.
it has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves.
the policy of reform and open is the choice that has made all the difference.
who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world; the fact that we have devised our own nuclear weapons;the fact that we have successfully sent our satellites into space，no.7 shenzhou manned space flight， which proves the successful development of space technology across the major milestone， and the fact that our gnp ranks to no.3 in the world.
when it comes to celebrating the 60th birthday of our great motherland， i would contribute my individual and unique colors to creating a more diverse motherland.
the tranditional chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our country.
we won't let people down.
we will devote our wisdom and passion to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for everyone of us.
finally， i do hope everybody can try their best to become a worthy citizen of the country; i do hope everybody can become the backbone of our nation and make great contributions to our society!
that's all， thank you !
They must see Americans as strange liberators. The Vietnamese people proclaimed their own independence in 1954 -- in 1945 rather -- after a combined French and Japanese occupation and before the communist revolution in China. They were led by Ho Chi Minh. Even though they quoted the American Declaration of Independence in their own document of freedom, we refused to recognize them. Instead, we decided to support France in its reconquest of her former colony. Our government felt then that the Vietnamese people were not ready for independence, and we again fell victim to the deadly Western arrogance that has poisoned the international atmosphere for so long. With that tragic decision we rejected a revolutionary government seeking self-determination and a government that had been established not by China -- for whom the Vietnamese have no great love -- but by clearly indigenous forces that included some communists. For the peasants this new government meant real land reform, one of the most important needs in their lives.
For nine years following 1945 we denied the people of Vietnam the right of independence. For nine years we vigorously supported the French in their abortive effort to recolonize Vietnam. Before the end of the war we were meeting eighty percent of the French war costs. Even before the French were defeated at Dien Bien Phu, they began to despair of their reckless action, but we did not. We encouraged them with our huge financial and military supplies to continue the war even after they had lost the will. Soon we would be paying almost the full costs of this tragic attempt at recolonization.
After the French were defeated, it looked as if independence and land reform would come again through the Geneva Agreement. But instead there came the United States, determined that Ho should not unify the temporarily divided nation, and the peasants watched again as we supported one of the most vicious modern dictators, our chosen man, Premier Diem. The peasants watched and cringed as Diem ruthlessly rooted out all opposition, supported their extortionist landlords, and refused even to discuss reunification with the North. The peasants watched as all this was presided over by United States' influence and then by increasing numbers of United States troops who came to help quell the insurgency that Diem's methods had aroused. When Diem was overthrown they may have been happy, but the long line of military dictators seemed to offer no real change, especially in terms of their need for land and peace.
The only change came from America, as we increased our troop commitments in support of governments which were singularly corrupt, inept, and without popular support. All the while the people read our leaflets and received the regular promises of peace and democracy and land reform. Now they languish under our bombs and consider us, not their fellow Vietnamese, the real enemy. They move sadly and apathetically as we herd them off the land of their fathers into concentration camps where minimal social needs are rarely met. They know they must move on or be destroyed by our bombs.
So they go, primarily women and children and the aged. They watch as we poison their water, as we kill a million acres of their crops. They must weep as the bulldozers roar through their areas preparing to destroy the precious trees. They wander into the hospitals with at least twenty casualties from American firepower for one Vietcong-inflicted injury. So far we may have killed a million of them, mostly children. They wander into the towns and see thousands of the children, homeless, without clothes, running in packs on the streets like animals. They see the children degraded by our soldiers as they beg for food. They see the children selling their sisters to our soldiers, soliciting for their mothers.
What do the peasants think as we ally ourselves with the landlords and as we refuse to put any action into our many words concerning land reform? What do they think as we test out our latest weapons on them, just as the Germans tested out new medicine and new tortures in the concentration camps of Europe? Where are the roots of the independent Vietnam we claim to be building? Is it among these voiceless ones?
We have destroyed their two most cherished institutions: the family and the village. We have destroyed their land and their crops. We have cooperated in the crushing of the nation's only noncommunist revolutionary political force, the unified Buddhist Church. We have supported the enemies of the peasants of Saigon. We have corrupted their women and children and killed their men.
Now there is little left to build on, save bitterness. Soon the only solid physical foundations remaining will be found at our military bases and in the concrete of the concentration camps we call "fortified hamlets." The peasants may well wonder if we plan to build our new Vietnam on such grounds as these. Could we blame them for such thoughts? We must speak for them and raise the questions they cannot raise. These, too, are our brothers.
Perhaps a more difficult but no less necessary task is to speak for those who have been designated as our enemies. What of the National Liberation Front, that strangely anonymous group we call "VC" or "communists"? What must they think of the United States of America when they realize that we permitted the repression and cruelty of Diem, which helped to bring them into being as a resistance group in the South? What do they think of our condoning the violence which led to their own taking up of arms? How can they believe in our integrity when now we speak of "aggression from the North" as if there were nothing more essential to the war? How can they trust us when now we charge them with violence after the murderous reign of Diem and charge them with violence while we pour every new weapon of death into their land? Surely we must understand their feelings, even if we do not condone their actions. Surely we must see that the men we supported pressed them to their violence. Surely we must see that our own computerized plans of destruction simply dwarf their greatest acts.
How do they judge us when our officials know that their membership is less than twenty-five percent communist, and yet insist on giving them the blanket name? What must they be thinking when they know that we are aware of their control of major sections of Vietnam, and yet we appear ready to allow national elections in which this highly organized political parallel government will not have a part? They ask how we can speak of free elections when the Saigon press is censored and controlled by the military junta. And they are surely right to wonder what kind of new government we plan to help form without them, the only party in real touch with the peasants. They question our political goals and they deny the reality of a peace settlement from which they will be excluded. Their questions are frighteningly relevant. Is our nation planning to build on political myth again, and then shore it up upon the power of new violence?
Here is the true meaning and value of compassion and nonviolence, when it helps us to see the enemy's point of view, to hear his questions, to know his assessment of ourselves. For from his view we may indeed see the basic weaknesses of our own condition, and if we are mature, we may learn and grow and profit from the wisdom of the brothers who are called the opposition.
So, too, with Hanoi. In the North, where our bombs now pummel the land, and our mines endanger the waterways, we are met by a deep but understandable mistrust. To speak for them is to explain this lack of confidence in Western words, and especially their distrust of American intentions now. In Hanoi are the men who led the nation to independence against the Japanese and the French, the men who sought membership in the French Commonwealth and were betrayed by the weakness of Paris and the willfulness of the colonial armies. It was they who led a second struggle against French domination at tremendous costs, and then were persuaded to give up the land they controlled between the thirteenth and seventeenth parallel as a temporary measure at Geneva. After 1954 they watched us conspire with Diem to prevent elections which could have surely brought Ho Chi Minh to power over a united Vietnam, and they realized they had been betrayed again. When we ask why they do not leap to negotiate, these things must be remembered.
Also, it must be clear that the leaders of Hanoi considered the presence of American troops in support of the Diem regime to have been the initial military breach of the Geneva Agreement concerning foreign troops. They remind us that they did not begin to send troops in large numbers and even supplies into the South until American forces had moved into the tens of thousands.
Hanoi remembers how our leaders refused to tell us the truth about the earlier North Vietnamese overtures for peace, how the president claimed that none existed when they had clearly been made. Ho Chi Minh has watched as America has spoken of peace and built up its forces, and now he has surely heard the increasing international rumors of American plans for an invasion of the North. He knows the bombing and shelling and mining we are doing are part of traditional pre-invasion strategy. Perhaps only his sense of humor and of irony can save him when he hears the most powerful nation of the world speaking of aggression as it drops thousands of bombs on a poor, weak nation more than eight hundred, or rather, eight thousand miles away from its shores.
At this point I should make it clear that while I have tried in these last few minutes to give a voice to the voiceless in Vietnam and to understand the arguments of those who are called "enemy," I am as deeply concerned about our own troops there as anything else. For it occurs to me that what we are submitting them to in Vietnam is not simply the brutalizing process that goes on in any war where armies face each other and seek to destroy. We are adding cynicism to the process of death, for they must know after a short period there that none of the things we claim to be fighting for are really involved. Before long they must know that their government has sent them into a struggle among Vietnamese, and the more sophisticated surely realize that we are on the side of the wealthy, and the secure, while we create a hell for the poor.
Somehow this madness must cease. We must stop now. I speak as a child of God and brother to the suffering poor of Vietnam. I speak for those whose land is being laid waste, whose homes are being destroyed, whose culture is being subverted. I speak for the poor of America who are paying the double price of smashed hopes at home, and death and corruption in Vietnam. I speak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast at the path we have taken. I speak as one who loves America, to the leaders of our own nation: The great initiative in this war is ours; the initiative to stop it must be ours.
This is the message of the great Buddhist leaders of Vietnam. Recently one of them wrote these words, and I quote:
Each day the war goes on the hatred increases in the heart of the Vietnamese and in the hearts of those of humanitarian instinct. The Americans are forcing even their friends into becoming their enemies. It is curious that the Americans, who calculate so carefully on the possibilities of military victory, do not realize that in the process they are incurring deep psychological and political defeat. The image of America will never again be the image of revolution, freedom, and democracy, but the image of violence and militarism .
If we continue, there will be no doubt in my mind and in the mind of the world that we have no honorable intentions in Vietnam. If we do not stop our war against the people of Vietnam immediately, the world will be left with no other alternative than to see this as some horrible, clumsy, and deadly game we have decided to play. The world now demands a maturity of America that we may not be able to achieve. It demands that we admit that we have been wrong from the beginning of our adventure in Vietnam, that we have been detrimental to the life of the Vietnamese people. The situation is one in which we must be ready to turn sharply from our present ways. In order to atone for our sins and errors in Vietnam, we should take the initiative in bringing a halt to this tragic war.
March 12th is Tree Planting Day. This year our school bought enough treesbefore that day . On that day , we didn‘t had classes . The teachers and ourclassmates planted trees around our school.
We began to planted trees as soon as we got to school . some students dugthe holes . Some students put the trees into the holes.
Some students put the earth back to the holes. Then we pushed the earthhard with our feet . At last we watered the trees as much as possible.
From then on we looked after the trees carefully and the trees grew verywell . It made our shcool more beautiful .And How happy we are !
What we cannot afford to lose
We cannot lose innovation
There is a wonderful word which expresses the most original motions and desires among human-beings. With solving any kind of imperfections, our world has moved ahead. This is the word “innovation” that we cannot afford to lose.
We chicaned every detail of the innovation. Thousands years before, we created fire when we took a stone to knock another one. Since Han Dynasty, four great inventions had been created and it is one of the greatest signs that China become to the ancient civilized country. And nowadays, thousands of software, products, architectures and public facilities have upgraded more than that about 100 years ago. So how did these happen? What will you do if you are not satisfied with your tools anymore? What will you do if old mode cannot afford to develop in a company? There is no doubt that we should innovate no matter where we are and what we do. Not because of the design itself, but actually for its intended purpose.
If there was no Apple, everyone could not imagine how to contact others easily and enjoy a better Internet surfing.
If there was no Microsoft, perhaps we still worked in a dim office and duplicate some troublesome documents. If there was no Newton, and no theory of gravity, maybe I will win the Nobel Prize like Newton rather than just standing here. I have heard that three apple changed the world. The first one seduced Eve. The second one awakened Newton. The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs. We sort of think the innovation of the world began with apple. I imagine lots of people want to become another Newton or Jobs right now with just one hand to change the world, right? Have the innovation to follow your heart. It somehow already reflects what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Via questioning, we can start to innovate. Via innovating, we can start to create better lives. No innovation, no improvement. No improvement, no success. And no success, no civilization. Now, our time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life! Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice! Don't let yourself down! It is the innovation that we cannot afford to lose!
Dear teacher，dear students：
You good.
You must see it through the motherland，beautiful land. That surging river，rolling in the Yellow River，the endless mountains，all part of our great motherland. Magnificent mountains and the motherland，the motherland of the river is elegant，extremely broad mind the motherland.
We are all Chinese，all descendants of the dragon. Our happiness comes from the motherland，only rich and powerful countries，can we spend a happy life forever Guanghua. Chinese history tells us，have no country，no home，the state is not strong，and beaten. Our dearest parents，favorite is China When the cruel oppression of the aggressors，when our beautiful mountains and rivers，each face of the Chinese people with conscience tears，hearts dripping with blood，sacred to the hearts of the motherland，they grope in the dark，in the humiliation of protest.
Yiduo outraged，Within the wide assassin's pistol，Ji Hongchang hung that read，"I am Chinese" slogan wooden plaque，walking in a blue-eyed，blond among foreigners. Zhang and Yang generals to save the nation from peril，decided to launch the Xi'an Incident ... ...
It is the millions of pure，just propped up the backbone of our nation，hope of the motherland；exactly what they，in their own "Today"，with the wholehearted blood，composed worthy of the times，"Anthem，" before makes our national anthem resounded through the Divine Republic today，so magnificent，so magnificent song
Shame and misery have become the past，the Chinese ushered in a new glory. Since the reform and opening up 20 years，the majority of working people hard work，whether military，technological，political，sports，we have made considerable progress，the just concluded Athens Olympic Games，the athletes with their "decade of Sword "，first among the Chinese sports power list，the five-star red flag fly high again and again over the stadium in Athens，forceful and passionate of the National Anthem for countless sons and daughters of emotions，tears.
Veteran excited to see the tears after gold Wang Yifu，Liu Xiang crosses the finish line to see hands in the air circling bolted figure，I am reminded of the scene as a child watching the Olympics It is a summer evening，my mother and I sat in front of the TV watching the Olympics opening ceremony，to see the games the national flags of different colors，my mother asked me："Little Can；，you are most like the flag."；6 years old，I tilted thought，said，"five-star red flag." "Why?" "Because it's the color most vibrant，yellow five-pointed star above look good." my mother did not speak a long time and watched me，shook his head "No，child，because you，the Chinese people！"
"You are Chinese！" The simple words contained in The Road，how many sons and daughters to do the voice，precisely because there is such a Chinese heart，revolutionary martyrs shed their blood and Olympic athletes courageously fighting，repeatedly create brilliant，and it was only six years old I saw the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind will be excited，passionate aspirations.
From that day began，in my mind，there was such a belief：the motherland is the mother，the state is more important than a small house，grow up with both hands to her ever more powerful. Mother has a vast territory，has a glorious history，a rich treasure of the mountains and plains，there are three five Yuexiu Li River scenery. Thinking of Mustang in the Mercedes-Benz，I use my heart depicts the motherland mother，her long hair is the thousands of articles drifting leisurely river flows into her spine is tough and Qiaoba continuous mountain，and her bright eyes is That Dongting's water，West Lake，wave it！Mother's day，"After the fall this is，change the world"，the motherland，the "Falling blossoms Fanzuo waves，Castle Peak intentionally into the bridge，" Looking to the motherland，rivers and mountains thousands of miles，as if living in between poetry and painting.
The motherland is the pearl of the Orient，is off the dragon of Asia，is the rising sun on the distant horizon. Homeland in your heart，in my mind，in the hearts of all of us.
Thank you.
