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 Reading gave me great discernment and enabled me to get rid of some outdated and pedantic concepts.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英文新闻写作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.
在贵州安顺西秀区，只有初中文化的农村妇女肖兴英，是远近闻名的“雷锋妈妈”。她的80多个孩子都姓民，他们多是残疾儿童。
上世纪80年代初，颇具商业头脑的肖兴英和丈夫郭用发商量后，买了一辆中巴车，跑起了运输。丈夫当司机，自己卖票，日子也算是过得红红火火。
“当时一个月的工资水平就80元人民币左右，跑客运三天就能赚别人一个月的工资。”
1997年的一天，肖兴英和往常一样，早上四点多洗漱完后来到学校门口的摊位。就在这一天，她在火炉边捡起一个浓眉大眼的弃婴。
抱起孩子，肖兴英的第一反应就是去找孩子的父母。苦寻无果后，她带着孩子去医院检查，“孩子是脑瘫”。
“作为两个孩子的妈妈，我看到这个被遗弃的孩子，心里很不忍，决定自己收养他。”肖兴英当时的想法从此改变了自己的生命轨迹。
“民强”是肖兴英收养的给第一个孩起的名字，希望他以后能坚强的面对生活。
“每天给他按摩、洗澡，坚持了5年，但他最终还是离开了人世。”肖兴英回忆起民强时，心情依旧悲伤。
肖兴英好心肠的名声一时间传遍周边的村寨，后来有人直接把孩子放在她家门口。
2002年，经民政部门的同意，她家里收养了8个弃婴。到2006年，一度达到80多人。所有的孩子有一个共同的姓“民”，她想让孩子们记住是人民共同养育了他们。
“这个世界上，我相信有苦难，但我更相信奇迹。”肖兴英说，一位在床上躺了6年的“脑瘫儿”有一天突然能扶着床沿走路了，她还清楚记得那天是2013年10月10日。
先天兔唇患儿民育亚在孩子中能一眼就认出了，因为兔唇修补手术，让他的脸型和其他孩子有些不一样。是所有孩子中最调皮的一个，一提到妈妈，脸上就露出笑容。当记者问道他好不好时，他一个劲的点头。
今年18岁的民兰兰也是肖兴英收养的一个弃婴，现在广东打工，逢年过节总是忘不了问候肖兴英。接到兰兰或者其他孩子的电话，是肖兴英最幸福的事情。
从开始收养第一个孩子，肖兴英觉得自己最亏欠的就是丈夫。照顾孩子占用了自己大部分的时间和精力，“要是没有丈夫的支持与理解，肯定坚持持不到现在。”
“和亲戚关系疏远了，十几年间一次同学聚会没有参加过。”说起这些肖兴英觉得有些遗憾，“但是每个人活法不同，我不后悔。”
“认识她的人都对她只有一个评价，心地善良。”安顺市西秀区创建办工作人员李楚因工作关系和肖兴英接触次次，感受颇深。
“民政部门给每一位残障孩子每月都有600元低保，让孩子们能维持基本的生活。他们也有城乡医疗保险，生病的时候能少花点钱。”李楚介绍说
在民政部门的领导和社会爱心人士的帮助下，肖兴英的“爱心之家”先后走出了的7个身残志不残的青年;还有5人在小学读书，变成为品学兼优的学生;其他有因为年纪太小和身体状况，正在接受启蒙教育。
“年纪大了，不知道还能管他们多久，希望他们以后能像正常人一样的生活。”这是肖兴英最大的愿望。
