When I was young, my father used to grow carnations-a kind of flower that was red, pink or white .He took care of them with much love and devotion. Every day he came home from work, he would enjoy watching them, And he used to tell us, “No one should touch my flowers.”

One day, my younger sister Clemence, who loved dad very much, wanted to help him. So she cut the carnation from their stems (枝干) one by one and arranged them on the ground. She believed that dad would be very pleased to see them that way.

When mom and I realized what my sister had done, we became completely speechless. However, my sister had no idea why no one showed her any appreciation. When dad arrived, he went as usual straight to watch the flowers. Seeing his flowers lying on the ground like dead animals, he was shocked at first. He looked towards the street to see if it was any of the neighbors' children who could have done it. Then he looked at mom in silence. Finally mom, who always taught us to tell the truth no matter what, said, "No bad neighbors did this great job, only your lovely daughter Clemence.”

C

Lei Haiwei, a 37-year-old fast food courier (快遞員) from Hunan Province, got first place in a televised Chinese poetry knowledge competition. He beat other competitors, including a master’s degree (碩士學(xué)位) graduate from Beijing University, in the third season of the Chinese Poetry Conference on CCTV on April 4, 2018.

“My interest in ancient poems began as early as I was six years old. My father hoped I would grow up to be a man who keeps the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in mind,” the courier said.

In 2001, the younger Lei found a job in Shanghai and began to read books related to ancient poems at bookstores or libraries in his spare time, since he didn’t make much money. The young man also developed a habit of reciting poems he liked and writing them down after returning home.

Though Lei works as a fast food courier in Hangzhou later, his love for poems never died. Even on his busiest work days, he used any available moment to recite poems. “For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants, and traffic lights on my way to deliver food. Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes ray job less boring. As for my future plan, I will stick to reading and reciting poems.” Lei said.
