Li Yinhe, Reading Enriches My Life
Famous Chinese sexologist Li Yinhe in April released her new book „the Reading of my Soul‟, another book collecting her essays on life philosophy. [Baidu Image]
When I was 17 years old, I was sent to a desert area in north China‟s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the „Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement‟-a policy instituted in late 1970s and early 1980s that declared certain privileged urban youth would be sent to mountainous areas or farming villages in order to learn from the workers and farmers. When I came back to Beijing 3 years later, I was jobless for about half a year because I did get a Beijing Hukou (household registration).
At that time I read all famous foreign literature books that I could found-from my parents‟ and their friends‟ collections -even though those books were not allowed to read during the Cultural Revolution period. When I was in Inner Mongolia, I suffered from not only the drought in the desert climate but also „spiritual drought‟ due to the lack of access to knowledge. The newly-released book collected the reading notes on the books that I read during that period.
Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy said that young readers who could not grasp the essence
of good book had better not read the world-famous literature works on the grounds that this would ruin the cherished first impression on a good book. Even if they may get a better understanding of these classical books when they reread at an elder age, they lost the delight that they could only gain through the first-time reading.
I felt so lucky that I began to read all these good books at the age of 20. On one hand, I already had the reading ability to explore the essence of books; on the other hand, I was not too old to be passionate for reading. Reading gave me great discernment and enabled me to get rid of some outdated and pedantic concepts. I felt like getting a key made to open the door of our life to long-term happiness.
I was deeply impressed with two books. One is the „Ninety-Three‟ by French writer Victor Hugo, which takes its title from the year 1793, the year of the French Revolution, and made me shocked through the vivid and in-depth descriptions of many scenarios.
The other book is „1984‟ by George Orwell. I had to read the book secretly in the Cultural Revolution period and the scenarios described in the book were very similar to the social situation at that time. Now I still can clearly remember the nervousness when I was reading it, and each „reactionary‟ sentence in the book could make me criticized by the public and even throw me into the prison.
I started to write novels after I retired. Recently I finished a medium-length novel „2084‟, 100 years after 1984. This book was deeply influenced by „1984‟ which is also the first subtitle of the first chapter of „2084‟.
I have finished two sadomasochism novels and am writing the third one. I have not decided whether to publish these works and the writer Feng Tang has wrote a preface for me. A Hong Kong book company has also gave me a contract in a hope of publishing the two novels but I tore up it because I thought it was not the good time to publish them.
I mentioned one of Shakespeare‟s tragedies „Hamlet‟ in my book and I guessed most people in the world heard of the famous quote “To be, or not to be--that is the question.” I thought the sentence focused on the human‟s courage and discussed the choice between putting up with everything as well as keeping alive without serious ambition and respect and fighting against the endless suffering.
In my opinion „Hamlet‟ is an interesting book and I recommended all students majoring in literature to read it. But I thought it is a must-read book for those who wanted to be a happy, educated and civilized person. When young readers read the book like „Hamlet‟, they will be inspired to consider what life they want to lead when they grow up and they can learn a lot from the characters in the book.
Actually there are some other characters in literature have something in common with Hamlet that those young man of noble birth were not satisfied with the reality and wanted to lead a new life but in vain because vision without action is merely a dream. This also happens to many Chinese university graduates. I have got in touch with some very excellent and ambitious university students who dream of do something extraordinary and refused to do something they don‟t like, and what they need most is down-to-earth efforts. The characters in the Russian literature can still mirror some current social realities in China.
I have read the novel „What is to be Done” written by Russian writer Nikolay Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky when I was young. A revolutionist in the book sleeps on a bed of nails and eats only raw steak in order to build strength for revolution. I think Chinese youth can take him as an example to have strong will.
Some students asked me how to remember the contents of the book when they were reading. Reading is a sort of enjoyment and when you immerse yourself into the delight of reading, you will find it easy to remember what you read. If you don‟t like to read some book, then close the book and don‟t force yourself to continue to read.

2017英文新聞寫作3Rural Woman Adopts 80 Kids

A rural woman from southwest China’s Guizhou Province adopted over 80 children over the past 12 years, most of whom are disabled, and all of whom she has surnamed Min, which means “people” in Chinese.
Xiao Xingying, from Anshun City, in the mid-west of Guizhou, who only ever attained a junior middle school level of education, became locally famous for her kindness and has been dubbed “Leifeng Mom.” Lei Feng was a young Chinese soldier in the 1960s, known for devoting almost all of his spare time and money to selflessly helping the needy.
Xiao adopted her first abandoned child in 1997, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and died five years later. Xiao named him Qiang, meaning strength in Chinese, hoping that the baby would be strong enough to face the inevitable difficulties she expected him to face in life.
“Despite massaging and bathing him every day, he still died,” Xiao recalled sadly, “But I would like to believe that miracles can still occur to these poor children.”
Another child suffering from cerebral palsy who spent six years bedridden can now walk all by himself as a result of Xiao’s considerate and persistent care.
With her status as a suitable guardian granted by the local civil affairs department, Xiao adopted eight more abandoned children in 2002. This number had surged to 80 by 2006. People in neighboring villages heard of her kindness, and some even came to leave their babies at the gate of Xiao’s home.
The local government gives each of these adopted child 600 yuan (U.S. $98) per month to satisfy their basic living needs, and Xiao said she surnamed all of them Min to enable the children to remember that it is the people that nurture them.
Xiao said that the happiest thing for her is to receive greetings from her children who are currently working in cities.
“Although I was so busy caring for all my kids that I had no time to attend any parties for classmates’ reunions, and I have distanced myself form my relatives over the past decade, I don’t regret anything,” said Xiao.
“All people who know her regard Xiao as a kindhearted person,” said Li Chu, who works for a local government agency.
Now five of Xiao’s adopted children have been able to attend primary schools, and an 18-year-old girl is working in south China’s Guangdong Province.
在貴州安順西秀區，只有初中文化的農村婦女肖興英，是遠近聞名的“雷鋒媽媽”。她的80多個孩子都姓民，他們多是殘疾兒童。
上世紀80年代初，頗具商業頭腦的肖興英和丈夫郭用發商量後，買了一輛中巴車，跑起了運輸。丈夫當司機，自己賣票，日子也算是過得紅紅火火。
“當時一個月的工資水平就80元人民幣左右，跑客運三天就能賺別人一個月的工資。”
1997年的一天，肖興英和往常一樣，早上四點多洗漱完後來到學校門口的攤位。就在這一天，她在火爐邊撿起一個濃眉大眼的棄嬰。
抱起孩子，肖興英的第一反應就是去找孩子的父母。苦尋無果後，她帶着孩子去醫院檢查，“孩子是腦癱”。
“作爲兩個孩子的媽媽，我看到這個被遺棄的孩子，心裏很不忍，決定自己收養他。”肖興英當時的想法從此改變了自己的生命軌跡。
“民強”是肖興英收養的給第一個孩起的名字，希望他以後能堅強的面對生活。
“每天給他按摩、洗澡，堅持了5年，但他最終還是離開了人世。”肖興英回憶起民強時，心情依舊悲傷。
肖興英好心腸的名聲一時間傳遍周邊的村寨，後來有人直接把孩子放在她家門口。
2002年，經民政部門的同意，她家裏收養了8個棄嬰。到2006年，一度達到80多人。所有的孩子有一個共同的姓“民”，她想讓孩子們記住是人民共同養育了他們。
“這個世界上，我相信有苦難，但我更相信奇蹟。”肖興英說，一位在牀上躺了6年的“腦癱兒”有一天突然能扶着牀沿走路了，她還清楚記得那天是2013年10月10日。
先天兔脣患兒民育亞在孩子中能一眼就認出了，因爲兔脣修補手術，讓他的臉型和其他孩子有些不一樣。是所有孩子中最調皮的一個，一提到媽媽，臉上就露出笑容。當記者問道他好不好時，他一個勁的點頭。
今年18歲的民蘭蘭也是肖興英收養的一個棄嬰，現在廣東打工，逢年過節總是忘不了問候肖興英。接到蘭蘭或者其他孩子的電話，是肖興英最幸福的事情。
從開始收養第一個孩子，肖興英覺得自己最虧欠的就是丈夫。照顧孩子佔用了自己大部分的時間和精力，“要是沒有丈夫的支持與理解，肯定堅持持不到現在。”
“和親戚關係疏遠了，十幾年間一次同學聚會沒有參加過。”說起這些肖興英覺得有些遺憾，“但是每個人活法不同，我不後悔。”
“認識她的人都對她只有一個評價，心地善良。”安順市西秀區創建辦工作人員李楚因工作關係和肖興英接觸次次，感受頗深。
“民政部門給每一位殘障孩子每月都有600元低保，讓孩子們能維持基本的生活。他們也有城鄉醫療保險，生病的時候能少花點錢。”李楚介紹說
在民政部門的領導和社會愛心人士的幫助下，肖興英的“愛心之家”先後走出了的7個身殘志不殘的青年;還有5人在小學讀書，變成爲品學兼優的學生;其他有因爲年紀太小和身體狀況，正在接受啓蒙教育。
“年紀大了，不知道還能管他們多久，希望他們以後能像正常人一樣的生活。”這是肖興英最大的願望。
